Jacob Shaffer, Henry O. Shaffer, Henry Thompson, Henry
Kline, A. Chamberlin, John Naughton and Thomas Jamison;
and we further give you notice that we shall offer in evidence
a certified copy of the registration of voters in the respective
districts of the county.

By the above witnesses we expect to prove :

First, That intimidation and threats were practised on
legal voters by the Judges of Election in the several districts
of the county, and by other persons through the connivance
and approval of said Judges, which precluded and prevented
a large number of legal voters from voting for contestants
who would have voted for them but for such threats and in-
timidation.

Second, That the said Judges of Election wilfully and
fraudulently refused to permit registered voters to vote unless
they would cast their votes for you, and would not allow them
to vote for the contestants, and that the number of legal regis-
tered voters so refused and who offered to vote for the contes-
tants, would, if received, give the contestants a large majority
of the legal voters.

Third, That at the polls in Election districts Nos. 10, 16,
15, 14 and 2, sundry illegal voters, unregistered and non-
resident, were permitted by the Judges of Electioa to cast
their votes for each of you for the House of Delegates, and
numerous legal voters, qualified to vote at said polls and
offering their votes at the polls for the contestants, were re-
jected, and refused to be allowed to vote by said Judges of
Election.

Fourth, That the election in Districts Nos. 4 and 1 were
held at illegal and unusual and improper places, inaccessible,
inconvenient, and places unknown to gome of the voters until
it was too late to go there to vote, and that the Judges of
Election in those two districts held the election at these
places through improper bias for you, and with a view to
keep off the voters who were in favor of the contestants and
that the said Judges behaved in other respects, at the polls
and prior to the election, with partiality to you and preju-
dice to the contestants, and excluded and rejected legal voters
who offered their ballots for the contestants.

Fifth, That the Judges of Election in District No. 4, after
the polls were closed at said election, all went out of the poll-
ing place aad remained away about two hours, during which
time the poll list and ballot-box were out of their sight and
possession and left in the possession of one Abraham Dayton
and other persons; and that said election was held at the
