chizen of the united states entitled to vote at a general election for delegate to congress from voting on oil the ard day of august the learned gentlemen engaged in the ca case on both sides have brought into the dh discussion it a great many questions in which probably I 1 have nothing to for forin in stance the I 1 ie matte the citizenship of ahlan I 1 am not going to decide the merits of liny tiny law in relation to taxes or the di deronce Terence between the poll and property tax or any other I 1 will assume that the complainant in tills this case was a voter quail qualified nned fled to cast his vote for a delegate to congress on the third day til oft august last that he went to polls at the tile city hall inthis in this thib city intend intending ng to exercise his right of voting for a delegate and that white therea there on approaching the ballot box with his ticket in his hand haud lie he wa was 4 challenged the question being as to hl hist i eligibility 0 the time employed in the discussion of that muli Hult jeet leet eat does not appear to have teen been tong long long iong but it closed with the rejection of the voter 1 I am tel hel senoble hible Kible that

been brought into tills tilla case at all and I 1 am compelled therefore to treat thena thuna as aa private citizens the evidence adduced on tho the part of the prosecuting witness mr abdun shows that one jeter clinton who was the judge of election at the polls first refused to accept his vote that that thereupon a dialogue en ensued aued between mr ahlan and the judge of election clinton and that dialogue resulted in the peremptory refusal of the judge of the elee elec election tion to tale take his vote if I 1 remember the testimony mr ahlan correctly and I 1 thin I 1 do he ilo stated that that conven a tion with judge clinton had closed and the deci decision bion blon had been mader maden final before the altercation took tools place between him and antt the defendant smith who was the nimet first of the three defendants that the hindrance to the exercise of his bis privilege as a voter hadart had actually taken place and was an accomplished complis hed fact before any person attempted to remove him from the tho neighborhood of the polls having been refused and the deci decision blon hion made that he could not voto vote there it is not my province to my bay whether he be wasa was a voter or not but assuming that he ilo wasi believe that after beng being redus refus refused edby by the decision of the judge of the election it was his business to walk quietly away I 1 do not think that it is the right of a voter who wilo is IF challenged and his vote refused at any polling place to stand about and discuss questions bearing u upon on his eligibility with the judge odthe of the election if that were a rule to be obb observed ervid in election elections we can easily imagine how readily readily uler uiel electoral privilege could be abused by a vey very ves small
