"An Account of the Proceedings on the Trial of Susan B. Anthony, on the Charge of Illegal Voting"


THE COURT: You may take it.
A. Yes, sir; there was a United States Supervisor of Elections, two of
them.
By JUDGE SELDEN:
Q. Did they advise the registry, or did they not?
A. One of them did.
Q. And on that advice the registry was made with the judgment of the
inspectors.
A. It had a great deal of weight with the inspectors, I have no doubt.
_Re-direct Examination by_ MR. CROWLEY:
Q. Was Miss Anthony challenged before the Board of Registry?
A. Not at the time she offered her name.
Q. Was she challenged at any time?
A. Yes, sir; the second day of the meeting of the Board.
Q. Was the preliminary and the general oath administered?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Won't you state what Miss Anthony said, if she said anything, when
she came there and offered her name for registration?
A. She stated that she did not claim any rights under the constitution
of the State of New York; she claimed her right under the constitution
of the United States.
Q. Did she name any particular amendment?
A. Yes, sir; she cited the 14th amendment.
Q. Under that she claimed her right to vote?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did the other Federal Supervisor who was present, state it as his
opinion that she was entitled to vote under that amendment, or did he
protest, claiming that she did not have the right to vote?
A.
