CHARLES JORDAN called and sworn.
To Mr. Reeder:
I pitched my tent in this place on the 21st day of November, 1854.
I am originally from Virginia; from that to Kentucky, then to Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, and to Kansas. I have lived here ever since November, 1854, within a mile and a quarter of this place. I rented a
house in Clay county, put my family in it for two weeks, and came
on here to look at the Territory, and then went back for my family.
I was at the election of the 30th of March, 1855. In the morning,
between nine and ten o'clock, I arrived at Mr. Stinson's, where the
election was held. Three others were in my company, and as we
were getting over the stile four young men, all armed, approached us.
