L.R.POLK.

terrogatories filed herewith:
To the first interrogatory:

A. I was so examined; I stated to the register that I 'be-

Hill in February 1861, by Mr Lecompte was correct; I
stated further that I. did hear a conversation or argument
between Mr. Franklin and E. K Wilson. Esq., vvhich con-
versation I thought occurred early in 1861, in which Mr.
Franklin argued that there was a constitutional right of se-
cession; Mr. Wilson differed with him declaring that no
such right existed, and remarked to Mr. Franklin that if one
go into this matter we do it. with halters around our necks ;
I said further, that during that conversation I did not re-
member to have heard Mr. Franklin say that he was a seces-
sionist or in favor of secession; I stated further that since
that time within twelve months I had heard Mr. Franklin
state, that he had never been in favor of secession.
Cross-Examination:
Q. Were there of your knowledge any other witnesses be-
fore the said registers touching the disqualification of Mr.
Franklin ?
Answer. There was one other, Mr. James S. Lecompte, of
whom I spoke before.

witness before the registers ?
Ans. I do not.
Ques. You have lived in the sain town with Mr. Franklin
