think this vote was received by the judges in consequence of
the threats made.

2d Interrogatory. State what observations you heard made
in regard to Griffin Twigg, the day after the election in
November last.

Answer. The day after the election I heard Lawrence
Crabtree say it was a fine thing for Griffin Twigg that he did
leave the polls as soon as he did on election day, as he would
have been beaten nearly to death. I also heard William
Twigg remark, a day or two after the election, the same as
Lawrence Crabtree did.

in District No. 7, Allegany county, Md.

2d Interrogatory. Were you a judge of election in District
No. 7, at the election in November last ? State whether any
threats were made to you, and if so, what they were, in rela-
tion to said election ?

Answer. I was the return judge from District No. 7, in
Allegany county, Md., at the election in November last.
James Wilson said, on election morning at the opening of
the polls, he came to vote and damned if he was'nt going to
vote. The same party, later in the day, said if his vote had
been rejected he would have takes the ballot-box, and drag-
ged the judges out of the window. Wilson is a Democrat or
Conservative, and so expressed himself at the time. I saw
J. Wilson, John Carder and James Carder, who announced
they were Democrats or Conservatives, use threatening me-
naces towards Griffin Twigg.
