The Killing of Samuel Howard KinseY.
The Coroner's Inquest was held at four
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, by Coroner
Woodward, and the following jury was en-
panneled. viz: John Robinson, Thomas Burr,
James j. Fisher, John NJ. Tucker, Judson 5.
Brown, Oscar Il. Harris, Moses T. Parker,
Joseph F. Wannall, Joseph L. Maddox, Val.
entine Dengel, James Larconbe, and William
Egan.
Mr. Brown was appointed foreman of the
jury; and after all had been sworn, Mr.. Straf-
ford Ecans was called and testified to the same
facts as given at the hearing before Justice
Thompson. When deceased got of the wagon,
and was on the pavement, witness heard the
colored boy Courtney call Kinsey white son
OF b-h. Deceased then struck at the colored
boy. but did not hit him. and then as Kinsey
started 10 go 10 the store door, apparently with
the intention of avoiding any further dispute,
Courtney struck deceased with his fist in the
pit CT his stomach, and deceased then remarked
that he would go in aud get stick, and while
returning he tell down, aud in u few moments
died. Witness thought the colored boy struck
deceased in furious manner. His rhe negro's)
manLer was much excited, and the blow struck
was powerful one, and TO the mind OF the
Witness malicious one He (witness) thought
1t was blow intended TO do much harm. Wit
ness positively heard the negro call deceased q
1'White son of b-h." Witness understood
that the calling OF the name was the cause OF
deceased striking at the negro, and he judged
from the manner in which Courtney struck
deceased that he struck him TO hurt him.
Nv S. De Vaughan heard the colored boy using
bad language and he looked over his shoulder
and saw the deceased receding from the colored
boy, and the cClored boy struck deceased in
the stomach, and witness thought at the time
that the blow was sufficient to cause death.
he negro appeared determined TO infiict a
serious blow. Witness does not think the boy
lived more than three or four minutes after re-
ceiying the blow. Witness thinks any OF who
would give 80 hard blow was given BY the
negro had some intention to hurt.
Samuel Koran was coming down street. and
some boy said 10 him to look at that negro and
Mr. Evans boy fighting, and he saw Courtney
strike the deceased, and after " ards the latter
staggered into the store.
Sergean. Skippoa testified that his attention
was called TO the fact that this boy had been
killed, and he brought the corpse 70 the station
house
Mr.. Brans, recalled, and testified that ever
since the boy was in his employ he knew him
TO be perfectly amiable, and good natured
boy.
kr. Geo. Boyer testified that Courtney was in
his employ. He never heard OF difficulty
gether !. rough way rnsy o ss1. .s Rss to
one another, and In play have SPARED with
each other. CouI they was good boy, and wit
mess never knew him to BE- quarrelsome. He
Courtney had never quarrelled In his witt
messy presence.
The testimony closed, and the Jury retired,
and IN few moments retuT ned with verdict
that deceased died from q blow inflicted in the
stomach by Baylor Courtney, colored.
The corpse of kinsey vas then removed to
his fathers residence on ID street. from whence
