Verdict on the Baltimore Slaush
fer.

BALTIMORE, August 3.-Thc coroners
jury in the case OF the persons killed in
the late riot by the members Of the Eighth
regiment, after deliberation Of three and
a half hours, comes to the conclusion that
the soldiers being dcmoralized, a great
deal OF unnecessary firing was done
in Baltimore streets and especially at
Gay street; the responsibility for the
killing rests entirely with the rioters,
who attacked the soldiers. We are fur.
ther of the opinion that the authorities
after adding TO the already great excite
ment by sounding the military call should
have had a police force at the armory
sufficiently large to project the Assem-.
bling soldiers from the assaults which
forced them to use their weapons in self
defense.

Patgera. John Blanchard, engineer in
the factory, died soon after from injuries
received. Two girls and one man, Isaac
