The decree or order goes on the orderbook. And yet gentlemen say these decrees of divorce are forged. and in this way the endeavor is made to bring these records of Allen County into disrepute. If. as is insisted upon this floor. the uniform custom is to issue the papers of naturalization in duplicate. leave one of record and give the other to the person naturalized. that the judge need not sign them. is the naturalization of individuals in Allen County in the usual form except the oneisolated case of James B.White? Even the case of John D. Sardinghausen par excellence a good record. His naturalization appears on the orderbook in 1868. but the order is not signed by the judge. and for this reason. although Sardiughausen bad been given a certificate. he. Sardinghaien. went again in 1885. and took out papers again. Can parol testimony be introduced to prove naturalization ? My idea of a record is that it speaks for itself and can not be proven by parol until lost or destroyed. An exemplified copy. though not the best evidence. is admissible to prove the record.
