Mr. Van Voorhis: I ask to show what occurred at the time of registry.

The Court: I don't think it is competent to state what Warner or Wagner advised.

Mr. Van Voorhis: So that the question may appear squarely in the case I offer to show what was said and done at the time Miss Anthony and the other ladies registered, by them, the inspectors, and the federal Supervisors, Warner and Wagner, in their presence, in regard to that subject.

The Court: I exclude it.

Mr. Van Voorhis: Does that exclude all conversations that occurred there with any persons?

The Court: It excludes anything of that character on the subject of advising them. Your case is just as good without it as with it.

Mr. Van Voorhis: I didn't offer it in view of the advice, but to show precisely what the operation of the minds of these inspectors was at that time, and what the facts are.

The Court: It is not competent.
