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

She did.
Q. State whether she was asked, upon that examination, if the advice
given her by Judge Henry R. Selden would or did make any difference in
her action in voting, or in substance that?
A. She stated on the cross-examination, "I should have made the same
endeavor to vote that I did had I not consulted Judge Selden. I didn't
consult any one before I registered. I was not influenced by his advice
in the matter at all; have been resolved to vote, the first time I was
at home 30 days, for a number of years."

_Cross-examination by_ MR. VAN VOORHEES:
Q. Mr. Pound, was she asked there if she had any doubt about her right
to vote, and did she answer "Not a particle?"
A. She stated "Had no doubt as to my right to vote," on the direct
examination.
Q. There was a stenographic reporter there, was there not?
A. A reporter was there taking notes.
Q. Was not this question put to her "Did you have any doubt yourself of
your right to vote?" and did she not answer "Not a particle?"
THE COURT: Well, he says so, that she had no doubt of her right to vote.
JUDGE SELDEN: I beg leave to state, in regard to my own testimony, Miss
Anthony informs me that I was mistaken in the fact that my advice was
before her registry. It was my recollection that it was on her way to
the registry, but she states to me now that she was registered and came
immediately to my office.
