whose names were on your ticket as candidates for House of
Delegates ?

Answer. I did not attend said election; I call myself a
Union man; I heard reports, generally rumored, that an
armed force would be at the polls, and I expected a disturb-
ance at the polls. If I had voted at all, I would have voted
as candidates for House of Delegates, for Wm. Devecmon,
Wm. A. Bryden, John McElfish, George W. McCulloh and
Patrick Hammil; I was sworn to the United States in 1840.

Cross-examined by Mr. Brown.

1st Question. Did you see either ticket during the election,
and do you .know the names on either ?

Answer. I saw neither, and don't know the names on
either. I would have voted the ticket that Patrick Hammil
was on, I knew Mr. Hammil was a candidate; I did not think
it would profit me to go to the election; I never heard any
thing of a company coming from Virginia to be at the polls.
There was no doubt both sides were prepared, and afraid to
fight.
