And thereupon Richard Crowley, Esq., the Attorney of the United States for the said District, prayed the process of the said District Court for the arrest of the said Susan B.

Anthony upon the said process: and the said Susan B. Anthony, being Duly arranged upon the said Indictment called upon to plead thereto, pleaded that she was not guilty of the offenses charged therein, in manner and form as the same are therein set forth, and of this she put herself upon the country, and said United States of America did the like.

And at the May term of said District Court held at the City of Rochester on the 22nd day of May, the said Richard Crowley the Attorney of the United States, for the Northern District of New York, moved that the said Indictment and the issue joined thereon be transmitted to the Circuit Court of the United States for the said Northern District of New York for disposal therein, and the said motion was granted.

Anthony being present in open Court, and having heard the said verdict is inquired of by the Court if she has anything to say why the judgment of the law should not be pronounced upon her according to the said verdict; and no sufficient answer being given, His Honor the Judge of the said Court, in the presence of the said Susan B.
