Moya, a native Mexican, said by
her surviving daughter. Paula Dr- j
Vila, to be 110 years old. She was
born in China. N. L„ Mexico. in
1818. according to information sup
plier! to Dr. C. E. Barrera by Ed

Longevity of the Moya family Is
borne out by the fact that the

According to Dr. Barrera, who
attended Mrs. Moya, she made her
living about the streets of Mission

Fritz Russi. who stated Judge Mc
Closkey and he wished to compare
them. When his tally sheet or
book was returned, Engclhardt tes
tified. it had been altered both by
the insertion of additional leaves,
the erasure and addition on tally
marks, and by a change in the ex
tent ion of the addition of the vote
for McCloskey from 298 to 328.
Engelhardt was recalled as to
days first witnes for lurcher cross
examination.
Commissioner on Stand
He admitted that he had testi
fied before the congressional com
mittee which investigated the elec
tion that he had given the whole
business" tally book, poll list and

er. who identified copies of the 14th

Says Pages Added
Mr. Wachter admitted under cross
examination that he could make a
mistake in identifying documents
and their manner of manufacture,
but remained firm in his conclusion
that tile substitutions had been
made.
The trial today attracted only a
luuidlul of spectators, fewer tli&n
forty being present, a half dozen j
of them women.
"They were slipped into another
book without doubt,” Wachter tes
tified upon further cross-examina
tion concerning the alleged extra
sheets in the two tally books.
He admitted, however, that it
would have been possible for the
pin-point sized holes to have been
punched, in the sheets in question
both before and after the books
were made.
Enwi on Stand

buildings and grounds for the San j
Antonio board of education, was the i

The full envelope was taken back
