| The ELECTION RIOT IN BALTIMoRB-Inresti-
| got,on by Corners Jury.-The riot which oc-
Cured at one OF the voting precincts of the sixth
| ward in Baltimore on Thursday evening was
| partially investigated by Coroner Sultzer last
| evening, who held an inquest over the BODY of
| the boy Isaac Boss, who was killed by a straw
| bullet The American OF this morning SAYS
"All OF the witnesses neglected to mention that
| there was brisk firing from the party that were
| standing at the voting window as well as from
| the men Who were standing on the opposite side
OF the street until this most i'm portant fact was
| brought out by question asked by one of
the jurors. The theory set up by those who
charge that the republicans began the riot is
that there wac an intention on the part of certain
| coored men to kill q man of their own race
named Jonathan Walters, who is an active
democratic politician, and that they fired into
| the crowd for that purpose. From the testimony
| 1t would seem that the first shot was fired by a
| man standing on the opposite side OF the street
in what might be called the Republican
| crowd as distinguished from the men standing
| at the window, who constituted the sdemocratic
| crowd After this there was a general exchange
| of shots, and both parties ran away. Several
| witnesses testified to having heard colored men
make threats against Walters during the after
| noon.'
