HENRY R. SELDEN, a witness sworn in behalf of the defendant, testified
as follows:
Before the last election, Miss Anthony called upon me for advice, upon
the question whether she was or was not a legal voter. I examined the
question, and gave her my opinion, unhesitatingly, that the laws and
Constitution of the United States, authorized her to vote, as well as
they authorize any man to vote; and I advised her to have her name
placed upon the registry and to vote at the election, if the inspectors
should receive her vote. I gave the advice in good faith, believing it
to be accurate, and I believe it to be accurate still.
[This witness was not cross-examined.]
JUDGE SELDEN: I propose to call Miss Anthony as to the fact of her
voting--on the question of the intention or belief under which she
voted.
MR. CROWLEY: She is not competent as a witness in her own behalf.
[The Court so held.]
_Defendant rests._
