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

Anthony in the column of electors
there is a small, straight mark.
MR. VAN VOORHIS: I object to that, as not evidence of what these votes
were.
THE COURT: I think it is competent.
By MR. CROWLEY:
Q. State, Mr. Morrison?
A. Opposite each of the names that I have read there are checks, showing
that they voted Electoral, State, Congressional and Assembly
tickets--four tickets.
Q. There are a large number of the inspectors' books of the last
election filed with you as City Clerk, are there not?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you know what the custom or habit is of copying these books when
people vote?
Objected to.
Q. What custom the inspectors have of indicating what tickets a person
votes when he offers his vote?
Objected to. Question withdrawn.
_Cross-Examination by_ MR. VAN VOORHIS.
Q. All you know about these tickets or that book, is what appears on the
face of it, is it not?
A. Yes, sir; that is all.
Q. You don't know who made those straight marks?
A. I don't.
Q. Or why they were made, so far as you have any knowledge?
A. No, sir.
Q. Do you know what those letters are? [Pointing on the book.]
A. Preliminary oath and general oath, I should say.
Q. You would say that to each of these persons the preliminary oath was
administered, and also the general oath?
A.
