Answerr. They said there were charges against me, but did
not say what they were. I was registered as a qualified Voter
in September, 1866; I don't know whether pr not I asked the
Judges what the charges against me were.

3d Question. How did those armed men demean them-
selves?

Answer. Two stood at the door of the election room, and
some five or six a short distance off; they made no use of
their guns, because, there was no occasion for it; thpy did not
deter me from voting; the election, while I was there, was
perfectly peaceable.

4th Question. Is it customary in District No. 10 for men to
carry their guns in the fall of the year, in the game season ?

Answer. It is; I have seen guns at elections before, but
not so many, nor were they used in the manner they were
that day; I never before saw men at elections with pistols
buckled around them; it is usual when men bring their guns
with them to elections, for the purpose of hunting on the
way, for them to set them in the corner, or out of the way,
but this time they held them in their hands.

Re-examined by Mr. Devecmon :

1st Question. What, do you think the guns were brought
there for?

Answer. My opinion is, they were brought there for the
purpose, of preventing Conservatives from voting, had the
Conservatives insisted on voting.

Cross-examined again by Mr. Brown.

1st Question. Why did you not register in 1865?

Answer. Because the men appointed to register I did not
like; one of the registers lost his wife by death; a few weeks
after he married his late wife's sister, and she had four chil-
dren; one of said children was a mulatto, and I swore such a
man should never register me.
