Examined by Mr. Reecder:
I left Kansas city o(n tlhe mornling of the day of the election last
fall, and started to come up to this place past Gum Springs. The
election was held under the authority of the legislature for congressional (lelegate. Before leaving Kansas city I was asked by Mr. Milton
McGee to go over to Wvandott and vote; I said I had no right to
vote as I vwas then a resident of Kansas city. I met very many bet.ween Kansas city and Westport shouting hurrah for Whitfield, and
going towards Kansas citv. After leaving, Westport and coming this
way, (it was then afternoon I should think,) I met some 150 between
there and Shawnee meeting, house, retnining from the polls at the
meeting house. Some were just coming from the polls. I do not
recollect any of their nanmes. At the time I recognized some as citizens of Jackison countey, Missouri; chiefly citizens of that county.
After that I mnet no more after leaving Shliawnee meeting house. The
1)olls for Johnson county were held at Gum Spring or Shawnee meet-house, as it was called. Milton McGee lived about a mile from Kansas
city, onl the AVestport road. Towards Kansas city w(as the usual route
from Westport to Wyvandott.
By Mr. Woodson:
I do not now recollect the names of any one I met there. I was not
present at the election, and saw no one vote. I do not know of any
onie in Kansas city to go into the Territory to vote for Governor
RPeder. I did not vote for Governor Reeder.
