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


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.
