Ralston on Stand.

Governor Ralston took the witness stand yesterday in the Terre Haute fraud cases and told of the haste of Sdge Eli Redman to get his comssion. Redman was elected by a tjority of ten votes at the election last November and the first day after the election in the office of Governor Ralston asked for his commission. Ralston refused to grant the commission for two reasons. First because the papers were not properly drawn and second because he had been advised by long distance telephone from Terre Haute that fraud had been committed at the polls.
