John McDaniel, a witness produced on behalf of claimant,
being duly sworn, answers and says:
To the first interrogatory:
A. Since 1814, (was born in 1788;) been a voter in this
county since 1814; resided in 1865 in the 9th district.
2d:
A. Did apply; was notified of no charge; confronted with
no witness; took the oath and answered all .the questions; I
heard of no objection at all; I was then put off two weeks,
and required to bring two witnesses to prove my loyalty.
3d:
A. Did not vote; because I was not registered; would
have voted for Franklin.
4th: Waived.
Special interrogatory. After ascertaining that you were
not registered, did you or not apply to have the same cor-
rected ? if yea, state all that occurred between you and the
registers.
A. I applied again merely for my own satisfaction,
be registered; it was on the eve of breaking up for that day
two of the registers had left, and only Jacob White, one of
the officers of registration, remained; I asked him be so
kind as to tell me what objection he had to me; and I told
him I have never done any thing against the Constitution
in any shape or form, I had never aided or abetted, or done
any thing for one side or the other, only to pay my taxes to
the United States and State of Maryland; He then told me
the objection, that I was a rebel; I told him that if I was it
was more than I had ever known, I had always supported the
government; he then stated I knew Mr. George Tod was a
real rebel; I told him I did not know it, why, said he you
make it a rule to go down there every evening to hear the
papers read; no said I, I do not; but that I had frequently
called in on coming from town and sit and hear him read
awile; you know said he that the papers he takes are real
rebel papers, why didn't you go to my house and hear the
truth read; I said I didn't know where to find it, besides I
could read it at home; said he, what papers does Mr. Tod
read ? I told him during the latter part of the war he read
the Age; said he, you know that is a rebel lying paper, it
may be so I replied, but I didn't know it; I then told him
Mr. Tod all the forepart of the war he read the Press, and
that is a rebel paper is it? and that about wound him up.
