having been shot and instantly killed. The ball
entered near the right and came out on the left
side of the head Coroner Sparklin held an inquest
over the body and the evidence was very meagre
throwing but little light the subject. Sarah
Ann Cape, who lives at the corner of Hugh
and French streets, testified to having heard
| the report of pistol, when she went
to the door, and saw three men go down High
sire ct. She aw the deceased lying on the pave
ment opposite, when she exclaimed, f'My God there
| lies man dead! p When she used the expression
a man dressed in light clothing passed her house
stopped, gazed in her face, and although she re-
| peated the exclamation he passed heedessly on.
| Mrs. Ellen Houseman, No. Al Front street, testi-
| fed to hearing the ciy of murder and afterwards
the report of pi. tol or gun.
| Miss c. Constance No. 7 McElderry street. testi-
fled as follows: Deceased called to see witness
about o'clock on Wednesday, he slightly in
| toxicated; told witness that he had voted the
American ticket; witness induced him to remain at
the house until O'Clock; he told witness that be
was afraid to go home, because man named Phipp
Davis had threatened to kill him, and he felt sure
that Davis would execute the threat if an oppor-
tunty offered; witness heard of his death about I2
o'clock at night.

street; heard hallooing, and looking out of the
window saw deceased running also saw the fash of
pistol and deceased fell; at the time there were
| four men standing on the corner of Centre and
Front streets; when the shot was fired thew ran
away; thinks one of that party fired the shot
! Several other witnesses were examined but
nothing elected which tends to fasten the crime on
any particular individual.
Coroner Sparklin went to the home of Phipp Davis
Daily, the latter being his correct name but failed
to find him, his mother stating that he was not at
home. The only evidence pointing to Daily, was
that of Miss Constance and the jury did not deem
1t sufficient to implcate him, and therefore render
ed verdict of "death from gun pistol shot,
hred by person or persons unknown to the jury"
