Judge and Attorneys Checking Up Vote. Wrong Candidate Credited In Many Cases. DEPOSITIONS ARE ORDERED Pikeville.

Aug. -(Special.) The work of the Pike Circuit Court to-da in the contest case of Coleman for the Re publican nomination for Circuit Court Clerk has resulted in multiplied find ings of fraud. The chief irregularity found by examining several more bal- boxes to-day is that the returns recorded on the tally sheet are in nearly every case widely at variance with the count made in court by Judge C. C. Marshall and the attorneys for the contending parties.

Pencil marks to indicate where the voter should stamp his ballot were also freely found on ballots in a num ber of precincts. In Pond precinct No. 6 seventeen ballots were found thus marked. All these ballots, stub books, havo been made part of the rec ord for purposes of appeal. In Marrowbone precinct No.

3, which is the home of D. R. Coleman, the contestee. some good-hearted fellow voted for both candidates on the same ballot. Only One Vote.

Many others refused to vote for either candidate, but. out of 170 ballots cast in the race in this precinct W. B. Taylor, tho contestant, received only one vote. No irregularities were dis covered from this precinct.

In com' paring the tally sheets of many of the precincts it was found that many ballots cast for Taylor were counted for Coleman, who. according to the returns, won the nomination by 110 votes majority. In Tong Fork precinct alone ten Taylor were thus transferred to Coleman and one vote too much counted for Coleman. Judge Marshall has ruled that the testimony of witnesses shall be taken by deposi tion in order that he may return to his home at Shelbyville at the close of this week to take up his duties as Circuit Judge there. The testimony of the election officers in all the precincts showing fraud has since the beginning of the trial been ordered to be taken.
