Did you attend any precinct?-A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you see the Democratic, Republican, and National tickets voted at that election?-A. I did. Q. Here are three tickets which have been made exhibits as a part of the evidence of Mr. De Vay, and I show you the one that is headed “Republican ticket." Did you see that ticket voted at that election?-A. I saw a ticket similar to this. I could not say that this is the identical ticket. Q. So far as you know, was it similar in all particulars?—A. Yes, sir. Q. I show you now the ticket that is headed “Democratic ticket." Did you see that voted at that election?-A. I make the same answer to this that I did to the other. Q. One similar to it in all respects?-A. Yes, sir. Q. Now I show you the one headed "National ticket," and ask you the same question as to that.-A. Yes, sir; this appears to be the same. Q. The same answer to that question as to the others? A. Yes, sir. Q. Who were the candidates for Congress on the Democratic and Republican tickets at that election?—A. Mr. Peelle and Mr. English. Q. Mr. English on the Democratic ticket, and Mr. Peelle on the Republican ?—A. Yes, sir. Q. Was there any figure, embellishment, or distinguishing mark at the head of this Republican ticket or elsewhere to designate it? (Objected to as immaterial and incompetent, for the reason that the ticket will show for itself.) A. There was. Q. Was the ticket, or any part of the Republican ticket offered here, engraved ?—A. I think the head was engraved. Q. Is the material on which that ticket is printed plain white print paper? Q. Is it on plain white paper? (Objected to as leading.) A. It is not. Q. Is it on plain white book paper? (Objected to as leading.) A. It is not. Q. Is that material on which the Republican ticket is printed known in the trade as either print, writing, or book paper? (Objected to as immaterial.) A. It is not. Q. Do you buy it or see it as either print, writing, or book paper?-A. I do not. Q. If a man would come to your store and ask to buy plain white paper, would you show him such material as this Republican ticket is printed on? (Objected to as incompetent and immaterial.) A. I would not. Q. Do you call the material upon which this Republican ticket is printed plain white paper? (Objected to as leading.) A. The question does not go far enough. It is plain white paper, but it does not go far enough to make an answer. Q. Let us hear an explanation of what you mean.-A. This paper is evidently plain white, but the question does not say what kind of plain white paper. A man might have several kinds. He might have plain white writing paper, plain white book paper, plain white news paper or print paper, and plain white plate paper-any one of those four. Q. Is that plain white plate paper? (Objected to as leading.) |
