Board of Inspectors, or question made of her right to vote as a woman?
A. She was challenged previous to election day. Q. It was canvassed previous to election day between them? A. Yes, sir; she was challenged on the second day of registering names. Q. At the time of the registry, when her name was registered, was the Supervisor of Election present at the Board? A. He was. Q. Was he consulted upon the question of whether she was entitled to registry, or did he express an opinion on the subject to the inspectors? MR. CROWLEY: I submit that it is of no consequence whether he did or not. JUDGE SELDEN: He was the Government Supervisor under this act of Congress. MR. CROWLEY: The Board of Inspectors, under the State law, constitute the Board of Registry, and they are the only persons to pass upon that question. THE COURT: You may take it. A. Yes, sir; there was a United States Supervisor of Elections, two of them. |
