Ballard Coldwell Testifies.
Baitard Coldwell testified: "I was
supervisor at precinct 6. A negro man
came in. He came up and was talking
to Mr. Pence and said he wanted to
vote the county ring ticket. I noticed
that Pence had scratched every ring
name. I told him about it. Pence
gave him another ticket and he said
to me: Tou fix it then.' Pence had
made out the ticket directly opposite
to the way the man said he wanted
"My recollection is I only made out
three tickets. I may have made out
three or four more. On the outside 1
could not have scratched more than
eight tickets. The ones I did scratch
-were more anti ring than ring.
"I did not take any one into the
back room. There was a table there
back of the fire wagon. There were
voters back there. I went back there
as supervisor. When I -was mark
ing the tickets, I remember two in
stances where Mr. Boone was stand
ing near. I would call out the names;
Mr. Boone would say when I called out
an antl ring man's name: Vote for
him. He is a good man.'
Says Opening "Was Delayed.
The witness said that when he ar
rived at the polls the judges were not
doing anything. He stated that there
seemed to be an inclination to delay
the election as much as possible. He
said the polls were opened about S:S0
oclock
The wnness sttted that a man came
to the poll-s who had been transferred.
His name was -written in ink on one of
the transfers. The name, he said, was
written on the sheets Defore it was
delivered to the polling olace.
Mr. Pence, he said, did not make
any protest to him during the election
day. The witness stated that the pro
test appeared ti come up after the
contest started. If he made any sug
gestion, the -witness said, it was done
only to facilitate the election.
Pence, he said, was very slow and
could not keep up the ballot. He tes
tified that the election was not going
as fast as it should.
"I never heard of Medina being an
Interpreter," the -witness said. "I told
Medina that Pence had no authority
to discharge him. I never said a word
to Mr. Pence. As to "rough house.' I
don't use that sort of language, only
occasionally. What Pence heard was

witness said, came in with an anti
card. The negro, he" said, went to the
table in the rear and was making out
an antl ring ticket.
"I admit.' the negro said, 'that I
used the ticket to make out my bal
lot' Pence said: 'All right, go ahead
and vote.'" (
The antl ring supervisor, the wit
ness stated, was calling off the names
on the ballots. He said he protested,
and the man stopped. The following
day,- the witness stated, the man called
more names.
The witness referred to a ticket, he
said, where a line was drawn between
the names of judge Walthall and judge
Clark. The anti ring man, he stated,
insisted that the vote wns for Clark.
It was left to an antl ring supervisor, t
"You know the result? asked the wit
ness. Pitch Coins to Unke Tallies.
In keeping the tally sheets, the wit
ness stated, that when there was a
discrepancy they would pitch coins to
decide it. He said they did this eight
times, and he lost six of the tosses.
On cross examination the witness
stated that -when he arriTed at the
polls there were 10 or 12 voters -waiting.
He said he assumed they were
ring men. The witness stated that
Pence was trying to delay the game,
and he insisted that Pence open the
polls. The witness said that he argued
with Pence a half hour about a ticket
which was left to the anti ring super
visor. "Medina suited me, i-nd that -was all
we wanted." said the witness. "I kept
a note book. I did not keep a memo
randa of the negro whose ticket was
made out wrong. I kept a memoranda
of the negro who used the antl ring
ticket to make out his ticket. I state
now, if I had been running that elec
tion we would have had more votes.
The result of my wrangle with Pence
was Hughes was not sworn in as an
officer of the election.
"I asked them to open the polls
when I got there. I merely called
Pence's attention to the fact that the
negro's ticket was not marked as. the
man wanted to vote.
There As Ring Supervisor.
"I was there as what was known
as the ring supervisor, and to repre
sent their interests In anything that
might arise.
"I was supervisor. I had nothing to
do with the election.
"In most instances I spoke up and
told the people there when things
were going wrong. I don't recall the
instances."
Sow But One Flask of AVhlsky.
William H. Brooks testified: "I
represented the ring as associate judge
In precinct No. 2. G. S. Brooks, my
son. was there. I saw one flask of
-whisky, and that was pulled out of an
anti ring commissioner's pocket. That
Was the only flask I saw."
Falvey 1t was reported your son
-was so drunk he vomited.'"
Says Son "Was Sick.
Witness "That's a lie. My son told
me he had eaten something. He has
a weak stomach. I never saw him
drunk. I never saw any drunken
men. I saw only a half a flask of
whisky. I think that was on Sunday.
None of them -were under the influ
ence of liquor."
On cross examination the witness
stated that he saw one man under the
influence of liquor who came in to
vote. He said that he did not see
any whisky on election day.
"I read Mr. Schilling-s testimony
that he saw 35 or 40 men come in
there with those dummy tickets. I
only saw one and I called his atten
tion. I won't swear that Schilling did
not see them. I -will swear that I did
not. My son spilled the Ink on the
tally sheets. I only destroyed one bal
lot to get the name of a local can
didate. There were not more than
five or six ballots destroyed"
Tickets on the Floor.

there three or four minutes. I don't
recollect how long he stayed. People
were voting. A good many negroes
voted there. I did not ask them wheth
er they were Republicans or Democrats.
That I thought the presiding judge
ought to do. I don't think he did. I
did not make any inquiry as to that.
I got $100 for a month's work to help
Dr. Yard as campaign manager.
"I was employed at the head
quarters." Says One Man Was Impaired.
John Saunders stated: "I was pre
siding judge of precinct 3. I was at ?
the polls on the morning of the elec- i
tion at 6:30. If there was any whisky
brought in I don't know It, unless It
was by Albert Gonzales. There was
only one man there that I could say
was impaired from performing his
duties and that was Albert Gonzales."
On cross-examination he testified: "I
did not drink a drop. I saw Fred Del
gado. I don't know how many 'times
he came in. I don't remember -whether
he was in there or not I remember he
asked me how the thing was going.
That might have been three times he
asked me that That was on election
day. I might have been making out
tickets. I don't know. Delgado came
to the window and asked me through
the window. I made out 90 per cent
of the votes of the Illiterate people,
and I was so busy I could not tell you
just who came In.
Did Aot Question Politics.
"I never asked a man his politics. The
voter, if he -was a Mexican, would
either say he -wanted to vote for Alder
ete and his companions, or Escajeda. A
negro would say he wanted to vote
the straight ring ticket or the straight
ant.1 ring ticket A negro came in and
said he wanted to vote the ring ticket
with the exception of Alderete. I
struck out Alderete's and Escajeda's
names. To correct that I wrote on the
margin Ike Alderete's name. That Is
the only instance I remember. I never
mismarked anybody's ticket Intention
ally. "I did not call off the name of any
candidate to the voter.
"C. E. Kelly might have been there
a half dozen times. He was there one
time. He was never In the building,
not one time. If Kelly was In that
building I never saw him. I saw him
on the streets. Mr. Kelly never told
me to mark the tickets.
"Gonzales said to me that as I was
presiding judge I ought to designate
some one to mark the tickets for the
illiterate voters. I said If my interpre
tation of the law was right I would
designate myself.
"I don't know whether Delgado voted
there or not I did not try to keep any
cases on Delgado. I was a busy man.
I saw Delgado nearer than 100 feet.
I saw all the voters less than that I
saw Ed Brvant rubbering around like
Delgado. He might have been across
the street or up in the window. I
never saw him at the window.
Did Not Talk to Delgado.
T gave the Instructions to the offi
cers not to let any one come in who
did not have any business there. I
did not see Delgado In there. I did not
lose time to keep cases on everybody.
I know that If there was any irregu
larity I would have called attention to
it I did not say anything to Del
gado. I don't remember, I don't think
I did.
"I did not have time to say anything
to anybody. I don't remember Ed
Bryant coming in. Kelly was not In
there to be put out
Says He "Was Xot Intoxicated.
G. S. Brook testified: "I was super
visor in No. 2. I turned over the ink
stand but I was not intoxicated. I
had on a stiff cuff. I did not drink
anything on election day. I did not
drink until Monday and then only three
drinks. " The witness said that he ate
a hamburger and it made him sick, and
he vomited. He stated that he had a
weak stomach.
On cross-examination: "I saw some
whisky on the outside. A Mexican
across the street had a bottle of
whlskv. I have been appointed deputy
constable since the election under Mon
toya. I made out a few tickets. There
were some men who came in who were
under the Influence of something. They
knew what they were doing. I did not
see any ballots on the floor."
Policemen, the witness said came In
the polls to get water. Ho said he
brought water out to the police and
did this to keep them from coming In.
He stated that It was not a part of
his duty to carry the water. The
witness said that he would carry the
water whenever there was a rush.
He stated that he did not know it
was against the law for the police to
come in: The witness said that he saw

until Medina gave him the ticket, and
told him to put it in the box. Bull, he
said, was standing near the table, and
he called his attention to the ticket.
Medina, he said, stated that he had
only made a mistake in the name.
He stated that he wanted to vote for
the entire anti-ring ticket, and he
voted that way.

Thurmond "Do you know of any
electioneering being done In that place
by Coldwell and Medina?"
Says Medina Wns Electioneering.
Witness "Yes, sir. The boy, Medina,
who I had sworn in, was out two or
three times electioneering. I warned
him and finally I discharged him. I
told him that was against the law. I

Coldwell knew that I had remonstrated
with Medina. He heard the conversa

he wanted to vote for Alderete and
his associates. I heard Medina say:
'This is the anti-ring ticket' I
looked over his shoulder and saw
that he was voting the ring ticket I
called him out and told him not to do
that any more. He claimed he made
a mistake. I told him he was lying. I
replaced the ticket
"I saw Medina go out In the streets
and talk to the voters. I don't think I
eer heard Coldwell tell anyone how to
vote. I told Medina that he could not
work for either ticket in his position.
Could Not Find Policeman.
"When Coldwell said there would be
a rough house if Medina was put out

If I had found one I would have had
Coldwell taken out of there.
