THE COURT: Put the question as you did to the other witness--whether in receiving these votes he acted honestly and according to the best of his judgment. By MR. VAN VOORHIS: Q. Answer that question, please? A. I most assuredly did. [This witness was not cross-examined.] WILLIAM C. STORRS, a witness sworn in behalf of the defendants, testified as follows: _Examined by_ MR. VAN VOORHIS: Q. Where do you reside? A. City of Rochester. Q. What office do you hold? A. United States Commissioner. Q. How long have you held that office? A. Fifteen years. Q. Do you know these defendants, Jones and Marsh? A. I do, sir. Q. Was any application made to you, by any person, at any time, for a warrant against them for this offence? Objected to. MR. VAN VOORHIS: If the counsel objects I will not insist upon the evidence. [This witness was not cross-examined.] SUSAN B. ANTHONY, called as a witness in behalf of the defendants. MISS ANTHONY: I would like to know if the testimony of a person who has been convicted of a crime, can be taken? THE COURT: They call you as a witness, madam. The witness, having been duly affirmed, testified as follows: _Examined by_ MR. VAN VOORHIS: Q. Miss Anthony, I want you to state what occurred at the Board of Registry, when your name was registered? A. That would be very tedious, for it was full an hour. Q. State generally what was done, or what occupied that hour's time? Objected to. Q. Well, was the question of your right to be registered a subject of discussion there? A. It was. Q. By and between whom? A. Between the supervisors, the inspectors, and myself. Q. State, if you please, what occurred when you presented yourself at the polls on election day? A. Mr. Hall decidedly objected-- MR. CROWLEY: I submit to the Court that unless the counsel expects to change the version given by the other witnesses, it is not necessary to take up time. THE COURT: As a matter of discretion, I don't see how it will be of any benefit. It was fully related by the others, and doubtless correctly. MR. CROWLEY: It is not disputed. THE WITNESS: I would like to say, if I might be allowed by the Court, that the general impression that I swore I was a male citizen, is an erroneous one. By MR. VAN VOORHIS: Q. You took the two oaths there, did you? A. Yes, sir. By THE COURT: Q. You presented yourself as a female, claiming that you had a right to vote? A. I presented myself not as a female at all, sir; I presented myself as a citizen of the United States. I was called to the United States ballot box by the 14th amendment, not as a female, but as a citizen, and I went there. MR. VAN VOORHIS: We have a number of witnesses to prove what occurred at the time of registry, and what advice was given by these federal supervisors, but under your Honor's ruling it is not necessary for us to call them. Inasmuch as Mr. Hall is absent, I ask permission to put in his evidence as he gave it before the Commissioners.
