Ottentot, captain, company E, 179th New York volunteers; believed the pa- pers produced were those found inthe room; also saw several large packages said tocontain soldiers’ yotes, which were afterward given to the three commissioners from the State ot New York. The books produced and other papers Colonel Foster took possession of were those produced in court, Cross-examined by counsel for defence :— Could not say whether the papers in court were all that were found in Col. North’s office: the papers were all signed; he noticed the name, but put no mark upon them; cannot pos- itively say those were the papers, buta bundle of papers was found containing that signature. They were in the back room, witness thought, in oe of the drawers on the south side of the room; there were two drawers; the papers might have been on the table; he could not say poeitively whether or not; he was not willing to locate the papers in any particular part of the room; Col. Foster was with him during the examination; Mr. Dana came in once, soon after the examination; also, Mr. Sands, of the War Department, and another young man; he could not say the papers presen: were all that were found in the room; he had no doubt the papers present were found in that room. The witness was dismissed from the stand, but the counsel for the defence doubting whether the identity of the bundle of papers bad been proven, he was recalled, and, ex- amining the papers separately, identified more than half of them as being the papers taken pom the New York State agency by Colonel ‘oster. Witness thought there was no doubt about the bundle beiog the same; he did not know the handwriting of any of the individuals, and can only remember them by the characters; saw three gentlemen who were there—J udges Parker and Allen, and Mr. Kelly—who repre- sented themselves as commissioners from New York; they took an inventory of the papers that might be needed in this case; the young man who was there offered his services; the Assistant Secretary of War wanted the com- missioners to have all the papers not connect- ed with the case, and a receipt to be taken therefor; Capt. Ottenot’s signature he saw so often tha’ he readily recognised 1t. Colonel roster Was Sworn and deposed as fol- lows :—He was . ge Advocate of that court; he went to the office of the New York State Agency in the company of the last witness (Major Gaines), about the Ist of November, by order of the Secretary of War. He founda number of papers, from which he selected those he deemed most important, wrapped them up, and brought them away with him. The bundle present he identified as being the same he took from the oifice in question. Cross-examined by Mr. Giilet—He went there on the verbalorder of Assistant Secre- tary of War Dana; could not say positively what day it was; it might have been the last day of Uctober, Henry Carver, corporal of the Veteran Re- serve Corps, testified that he had charge of a uard on the 30th of October, at the office of the New York State Agency. He was instracted to keep the rear room entirely closed and al- low noone to enter; he was also instructed not to allow any person except those having au- thority to enter the front room; he kept the key of the back room all the time he was on guard. Cross-examined: He was quite sure noone entered during the time he held the key. On Monday, a tall, elderly gentleman, connected witn the State Agency, was allowed to enter the front room by authority. W. H. Sivong also testified: Am a member of the Veteran Reserve Corps; he relieved last witness from duty, and received from him the key of the backroom, with instructions to allow no one to enter but Col.

Noore bad charge of the guard but the last witness fn himself. _ Charles 1, Palmer, a captain in the 6th New York heavy artillery, was nextexamined. He testified as follows: He was acaptain; his regiment was stationed near Winchester; was in the city the latter part ot October; Mr. Jones came tohim at the Kirk- wood, and wanted nim to go tothe New York Agency totakethe depositions of New York soldiers; went to the office; stayed there some time; saw Mr. Jones, Col. North, and Mr. Cohn there; witness asked how long it would be before he couldcommence work; was told he could commence in half an hour; Mr. Jones cTought out several bundles of envelopes, and wanted him tosign his name to them, which w ‘ness refused to do, and told him it was not the cight way to do it; Jones gotimpatient, and seemed to insist on his doing it, as did another man {whom he could not recognize as being present in court; there werenone but McClellan tickets there; seeing it was & one-sided affair, he left the office. Cross-examined by Colonel Beach:—It was on & Saturday; there were eight or ten persons in the room: he did not know others than those designated; he was not willing to swear posi- tively that Colonel North was there, had not seen him since; had no conversation with him then; he was walking about the room; did not ‘obserye that Uolonel North did any- thing; had conversations with several persons; did not know their names; was there nalf an hour; the first thing occurred was, Mr. Jones wanted him to sign the blanks; he (Jones) was sitting by a table in the front of the room: he exhibited the blanks; witness thought it was a one-sided affair, and told them so; did not know if any votes were putin the envelopes; there were plenty of tickets on the table; was not able to say that Colonel North heard what Mr. Jones said to him (witness;) confmunica- tea the particulars of this interview to Assist- ant Secretary Seward the same day; he went there without receiving a message to doso; had no communication with Mr. Seward prior to that time; made no memorandum ot the events at that time, nor had he made any since, The Judge Advocate presented a number of apers, which, though notsigned, he pro; lo offer in évyidence. The papers showed bons many voters there were in the field from New York, and the names of officers. Oolonet Beach objected to the documents being produced in eviden reasons: ist, fiat neither is in - prt ee of thé ts; 2d, that neither. is Properly. au- thenticated; and 3d, that the: fm: for Uolonel Notth could not be responsi for all the papers which might be 2 responsible for | purchases. collegted in pil Colonel Foster rplied that he was not aware that the law required a paper to be authenti- cated in any articular manner, but thonght that a paper in tbe possession of a man, even without his signature, was considered as be- nging tohim. Those papers were found ia the pitvate room of Colonel North, and in his desk, and, therefore, in Djs possession. The charge against Colonel North was that he vsed his position to facilitate the torging of soldiers’ votes. Ot course, then, & schedule of the condition of the soldiers, prepared for the purpose of ascertaining the number of voters, Was relevant. Another paper, from a person in the army, said that it was necessary to obtainamen of the right adaplatien to procure McClellan votes; another purported to give the names of Officers in the Army of the Potomac. He thonght, therefore, that they were relevant, and should be produced im evidence. Op the question whether the papers shoukt be in evidence or not, the court was cleared for a decision. On reassembling, its decision was, to allow the papers to be received as evidence. The court then adjourned until Taesday morning at 10 o'clock, when some minor cases will Fe disposed of, and the North case resumed at Il o’clock.
