Singular that the court should be in session in 1865. after Chittenden had been out of the courthouse nearly three years. after Jenkinson had been away about two years. and that these individuals should be there keeping the judge companyaud no other lawyer there. no court officer there except Pratt. and no other individual there except those taken there by White. In 1858. when the first papers were taken out. which could be effected in vacation. the parties named would much more likely have been there than in 185. Whites first effort to make himself eligible by reason of his service as a soldier is inconsistent with the fact of naturalization in 1865. His conversations with his lawyers. in consultation with them. and his failure to claim naturalization in 1865. which failure to so claim. when Bell and Moynihan asked him. October 28. if it were not possible that he took out his second papers to enable him to obtain a passport. and his denial thereof. tend to contradict his after claim. Long after these conversations. in which nothing is said about a passport by him. in face of the fact that his attention was called thereto. he begins placing the procurement of his second papers upon the ground that he needed them to secure a passport.
