CORONER'S VERDICT ON THE BALTIMORE
SLAIN.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.-The jury in the
case OF the persons killed in the late
riots return the following verdict, which
was signed by all the members:
That Thomas Byrne and nine others
came to their death by musket balls
fired by the members OF the Sixth Regi-
ment of Maryland National Guards, un-
known 10 the jury, on the night of July
20, 1877, between and O'Clock, at the
corner Ol Trout aud Fayette streets, on
Front street to Baltimore street, and on
Baltimore street from Front TO Ligh /
streets. Said regiment was on duty on
orders of the authorities Of the
State of Maryland, when they were
attacked by large mum Der OF disorderly
persons and in danger OF being killed,
and the soldiers should have acted as
body only on orders OF the commanding
officer III cleaning the streets of hos
tile mob, and in so Tar are blameable as
soldiers dlsobeying the orders not to
tire, though never, ,heless, as no orders
to fre were given the soldiers they were
for their own protection, TO
defend themselves Individually as wei
as they could; still the jury think that
the soldiers being demOrttlZ9d great
deal ol unnecessary firing was doue on
Baltimore street, especially ives of Gray
street, and the killing OF these people
rests with the rioters entirely. We are
Of tue Uplnlon that the authorities after
adding already to the great excitement
by sounding a military call should have
had police force at the armUry lar ge
enough to protect the soldiers from an
assault whlcl forced them to use their
weapons in sell-defense."
THE ENGINEERS WILL NOT STRIKE.
COLUMBUS, Aug. An reply TO di-
rect question upon the subject Chief
Arthur, Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
i've Engineers, replied:
1--WE shall not strike-We have posi-
lively refused to do SO at this time. Al
hough the railroad companies have
reated us unfairly in taking adVan-
ages, and have driven us heretofore
nto five strikes, in three OF which we
laVe been successful, yet we think it
would be cowardly in US TO take advan-
axe OF them at this time, and We wiz
lot do it,"
