I think I have got hold of the right case. There was no proof the man was a citizen. except he had voted. ie stated that he had been naturalized at two different places. but that his naturalization papers had been burned up. and when they came to search the records at each of those places they could not lind any such naturalization papers. In order to have standing in the court lie was. required to be a citizen of the United States. because this is an Indian depredation claim. Now.. that is the thing in a nutshell. The question is whether a man can avail himself of the privilege of citizenship simply because he voted but was never naturalized. When they went to the place where he said lie was naturalized they found the records did not show it.
