with the witnesses against them, and record said testimony
in the registry book, with rebutting evidence, if any was
furnished, and were such witnesses summoned to appear then ?

Answer. We gave the notice as required by law. We did
not give them personally a notice. The witnesses were pres-
ent and they were sworn, and had been summoned. Against
Henry Hamill was Silas Fitzwater, Samuel Friend and Abra-
ham Hershburger. Henry Hamill did not appear at any
time; did not leave a notice upon him to appear; he did not
apply to me for registration; we did not administer to him
the constitutional oath, because he did not appear before us.
Against Randolph Beckman the witness was Benjamin Davis;
he was not there when the testimony was given in by Davis;
he came afterwards and the testimony was read over to him,
and he acknowledged that it was right. He did not vote at the
election held on the 6th of November, 1866; he did not offer
to vote. Against Alexander Farall there appeared no wit-
nesses; he refused to take the oath, and said he would not
take it. He was entered in the 7th column as disqualified.

Cross interrogatory 2d. Was the entry for disqualification
against Mr. Farall made in accordance with the Constitution
and Registry Law, you having stated in the examination in
chief that you had read both ?

Answer. I aimed to so enter it, to the best of my judg-
ment.

Interrog. 3d. Did Mr. Farall vote in 1866 ?

Answer. I think he did not; he refused to take the oath.

Interrog. 4th. Did you or not first refuse his vote, before
requiring him to take the oath ?

Answer. Mr. Kitzmiller said, Mr. Farall, your vote is
challenged; you must come in and take the oath.

Interrog. 5. Was that remark made at the time he offered
his vote ?

Answer. It was made at the time he presented his vote.

Interrog. 7th. What answer did Mr. Farall make to the
declaration of Mr. Kitzmiller ?

I don't recollect his exact words, but gave us to understand
that he would not take the oath.

Interrog. 8th. What oath did you offer him.

Answer. The Constitutional oath.

Interrog. 9. Did William Reinhardt vote, or offer to vote,
November 6th, 1866 ?

Answer. He did not.

Interrog. 10th. Did Patrick Hamill vote or offer to vote?

Answer. He did not vote, but offered to vote; his vote was
rejected; he refused to take the oath when he tendered his
vote; he afterward took the oath in the evening, but did not
then offer his vote, and refused to answer any questions. Mr.
Hamill did not appear before us in 1865 to register; the entry, I
think, made against him was generally disloyal; there was
