IA DYING MAs.-Coroner Bohnstedt of Hoboken con-
lciuded IN inquest yesterday at New-Durham on the
yody of young Frcnchman named Antoine Souiler,
artificial aower-maker of No. pa Avenne A, New
York, who lost his life on Tuesday last by tue dis
Icharge of gun while in an aflray
II appears from the evidence that Soulier was up
at Seacaucus hunting and was accompanied by FRAN
els Pasini of West Hoboken. They started to cross
Adrian Posts farm for the purpose of reaching the
Paterson plankroad, when Mr.. Post ordered tpem
off, and they turned to leave the premises, when 1t IS

knocked kown, and just at this time the gun was dis

above the knee, causing wound four inches III
depth. SCATTERING The bones and seyerng both arte-
res and Veins While this was taking place, Pasini
was having a struggle with Posts con, who had come
up and was trying TO wrest his gun out of bis hands,
and his back being turned, did not know %hether
the fowling piece was discharged by accident or
design ~
Post does not seem TO have been satisfied with the
injury that Souer had sustained, and accordingly,
after considerable delay took the injured man in
wagon and proceeded to New.Durham and applied
to Justice of the Peace for warrant against the
parties for trespass, but was refused.
Pasini testified that while the injured man was
being conveyed to New.Durham he repeatedly
begged of Post to drive fast in order to procure d
physician, offering to pay well for it, but that Post
paid no heed to his entreaties. Finally, after de-
ceased had been in the wagon nearly three hours,
and 4 warrant had been refused, Post started for
physician, but before procuring one Souier breatbed

Dr. Westell w. Gibbs, who made post-mortem
examination, testified that in his opinion deceased
came to Lis death from pro5raton and loss of Blood
that if he had been attended to Immediately he might
have been saved.
The Jury rendered the following verdict: That
deceased came to his death by the accidental dis
charge of his gun. At the same time, the Jury Gen.
