ELECTIONS, § 243 — misconduct of judges, evidence and punishment. Election judge was properly found guilty of misbehavior, where it appeared that he had given a clerk a list of 50 names and requested her to make out applications for those persons, when 52 excess ballots were found defendant behaved in a suspicious manner in endeavoring to dispose of them, but sentence of three years was excessive, and penalty of one year in jail would have been sufficient punishment.
