4th Question.

Cross-Examined by Mr. Brown,

1st Question. Why did the Judges not take your vote?

Answer. Because I would not take the oath the third
time; I offered them my ticket; they asked me to take the oath;
they had no charge against me; they asked me to come into
the room to take the oath; the votes were taken through a
window; the reason why I did not register before, is because
I did not know anything about it until too late; during the
war I was a Union man under the old Constitution and am
now; I never gave any aid or comfort to either side, but fed
both sides when they came to my house.
