101 ters, did not offer to testify to you or state to you that the Willam Anadale who had offered to vote, was the identical person with the Anadale appearing on the list? - A. He did so state. 12th. Look upon the name, William Potter, opposite No. 16th on the same paper, and state whether he said Samuel Gibbons did not offer to testify TO you or state to you that the Henry W Potter, who offered to vote, was the identical person with the Potter appearing on the list as William Potter ? A. I think he did. 13th. Look upon the names, Levin MeGrathe opposite No. 152, and Thomas Parker, and state whether Samuel Gib- bons did not offer to testify or state to you that the Levin McGrath and Levin T. Parker, who offered, to vote, were respectively identical with the Levin McGrath and Thomas Parker, whose names appear on the list? A. He did. 14th.

Jones, had, throughout the war, openly and publicly, in public speeches advocated' the doctrine of the secession of the Southern States, approved of the course of the Southern Confederacy, denounced the Government in prosecuting the war to put down the Rebel- lion, and had I opposed all measures to supply the Govern- ment with men or money for that purpose ? This question and answer objected to by claimant. A.

As to Mr. Jones' State Rights principles, they are on record in speeches made by him whole was acting as he representative of the people of this county, in the Legisla- ture and the late Constitutional Convention. |
