ers OF the District of Columbia, TO uphold their
rights, and to aid members Of the trade, who
may be imposed upon by uespass or aggres-
sion. Members mutually agree TO pledge to
each other their honor as gentlemen and as

ton, and trust, those only whom they know TO

reyes apart from political organizations or as

INQUEST AND EXAMINATION BEFORE THE
MAGIsTRATE-Yesterda Coroner Woodward
held an inquest in view OF the body of VIM. III.
Petit, who was knocked down on the corner
OF 9TH and II streets north the evening pre- yious
and so injured that death ensued in a few
hours. The facts, stated in the Star yester-
day, were reiterated by the witnesses and the
jury returned a verdict that the death OF the
deceased was caused by the reckless riding of
the colOred boy Amos Heamer. The jury also
reprehended S.the practice, now. too common,
OF fast riding and driving upon the public
streets and avenues, thus endangering the lives
of citizens; and they are convinced that only
the most stringent laws, i'm posing the seyerest
penalties, can obviate the evil"
The clerks OF the Land Office, with which
the deceased.was connected, have taken charge
of the remains to remove them to Elkhorn,
Wisconsin, where the family of the deceased
reside.
At3K O'Clock p. m, the boy Amos Heamer
was brought out for trial before Justice Thomp-
son at the Central Guardhouse.
Sergeant SkippOn, of the Third Ward police.
testified that when he arrived at the place
where the deceased was arrested the prisoner
was already in the custody of a gentleman
named killen. Witness took the prisoner to
the guard-hOuse, and on the way questioned
him about the owner of the horse, and how he
got IT. He said il was Miss Frenchy's (Hor-
tense ROberts) horse, and she gave him author
ity to practice him.
Hortsnse Roberts testified that the horse is
hers, and is as as gentle as dog, but if struck
with whip becomes Interchangeable. She d d
not authorize the boy to practice the horse. He
took the animal without leave.
Her statement was confirmed by several wit
nesses, among them John w. Hamilton, COL
ored, who testified that the boy has not good
sense.
DR.. Thompson testified that the death of VIM
II. Petit was caused by fracture of the skull,
caused by being struck by the horse or by the
fall to the ground.
Justice Thompson committed the prisoner to
Jail for court.
The prisoner is about fifteen years of age and
does not seem TO appreciate his condition, being
apparently Indifferent about everything except
something to eat. He came from South Car
slina, and said his name (Heamer) is his old
masters name.
