The court adjourned after consultations as contestants agree to review the entire poll, ballot box and poll list from the last county election. John Armstrong, sworn as township clerk, testifies about ballot handling and the ballot box contents, while both sides contest certain Hewitt ballots and vote legitimacy. The tally aligns with the poll list, and a further writeup on alleged illegal voting is planned for the next morning.
