2nd.
A. Did apply; took the oath; officers of Registration
notified me of no charges against me; Mr. Duer was sum-
moned against me; I found tin's out. by being told so by S.
W. Jones; then I went and asked tin' Registers about it;
they said it was so, but Mr. Duer, as they told me, refused
to appear; I asked them to re-summon him; I came to Mr.
Duer's office, and he and I went before the Registers togethi-
er; Mr. Duer was sworn in my presence; Mr. Duer stated
I belonged to the Peace party, and that upon one occasion,
he had beard me say that I had as leave vote for Cresswell as
Crisfield; I think he stated that he had asked me why, and
that I had stated that they would both vole men and money
to carry on the war; I think he stated further that I had
said. it was time for a compromise-, but I forget the words ex-
actly as used. (Contestant objects to the statement of Mr.
Duer as hearsay.) I then stated to the officer that if this
was to disfranchise a man, that it would disfranchise a ma-
jority of the men in our county, that a majority of them was
in favor of peace, and a settlement of the war, and com-
promise at that time; Mr. Duer was asked what time I had
made this statement; he stated, it was just before the election
when Crisfield and Cresswell ran, 1863: that was all the
conversation I recollect of before the Board.
3rd.
A. I did vote, and for Mr. Franklin.
4th. Waived.
Special Interrogatory. Had yon or not any conversation
with any of the officers of Registration of your district after
your rejection. If yea, when and .where, and with whom ?
A. Don't recollect the special time, been about two weeks
ago; it was in Princess Anne that I had conversation with
James W. Hayman, one of the officers of Registration; I
asked him if he thought Mr. Duer's evidence was sufficient
to disfranchise me; he told me he did not; I asked him why
I was disfranchised; he hesitated to answer: I asked him.
if it was not outside influence; he told me it was; that was
the sum and substance of our conversation—near about all.
Cross-examination:
1st. Did you not in your conversation with Mr. Duer, al-
luded to in your direct examination, say to him in substance,
that you would vote for no man who would vote for men and
money to carry on the war?
A. I have no recollections of having any conversation
with Sir. Duer, though I don't deny it.
