148 The above has been read to me and is correct. CLEMENT M. WRIGHT. Written and attested to by H. Page, Clerk. Ichabod Evans, a witness produced on behalf of Claimant, being duly sworn, answers and says to interrogatories filed this day, and called "Barren Creek interrogatories:" To the first interrogatory: A. I am, and been so since 1844. 2nd.,, A. Did not apply, because Mr. Holten', one of the reg- isters, on Sunday told me that it was not worth while for me to apply, and very few other democrats need apply— that not more than four or five democrats in Hungry Neck would be considered loyal. In speaking of Hungry Neck I mean that portion of Barren Creek District known by that name. He said that I was not a loyal man, because I had given Mr. Holton, his own son, who was a blockade-runner, a dinner. I told him that he, (Mr. Holten,) had given him a I undred during the war, and that I should like to give him another to-day, but he was at the Dry Tortugas. That's all the reason why I did not go before them. He said he had known me for twenty-two years, been neighbors, and we bad both been old Democrats. 3d. A. Did not vote—would have voted, for Mr. Franklin. , 4th. A. I have heard one or two democrats say they were not going for that reason. [Tire contestant objected to this answer.] Cross-Examination: Does or not Mr. Holten reside in Hungry Neck—Is he not well acquainted, with all the residents of that Neck? |
