Cross Interrogatories to be administered to Levi W. Brant by

A. Spates.

Cross Interrogatory 1. Did you and your fellow Judges read
every name on every ticket distinctly, or did you and your
fellow Judges separate the tickets into whole and split tickets;
if you did, did you read off the names of each name as printed
or written; or did you simply say full ticket, naming the kind
of ticket; then did the Clerks put down a vote to each candi-
date on that ticket?

Cross Interrogatory 2. If the Judges and Clerks had anted
honestly, how could 653 tickets have got into the box when
you had only 643 names of voters; or was it possible that the
Clerks may have omitted the names of some of the voters ?
