Q. Please look and see which of those tickets the list purports to show that they voted?

MR. VAN VOORHIS: I object to any marks upon that book which the witness didn't make, as any evidence that these persons voted for members of Congress.

By THE COURT:

Q. What is the statement there?

A. After the name of Miss Susan B. 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.
