A. They were.

Q. Did you or any of the inspectors see or know the contents of any of the ballots?

Mr. Crowley: If your Honor please, I submit it is entirely immaterial whether these inspectors saw the names upon the ballots.

The Court: I have excluded that already. It is not competent. It is proved that they put in votes, and it is proved by one of the ladies that she did vote for a candidate for Congress.

Mr. Van Voorhis: I propose to show by the witness that he didn't know the contents of any ballot, and didn't see it.

The Court: That will be assumed. He could not do it with any propriety.

By Mr. Van Voorhis:

Q. Did either one of the inspectors object to receiving the votes of the women at the polls?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Which one?
