| -. II - RIOT AT BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, August 3.-The following is
an extract OF the verdict of the coroner's
! Jury in the late riot: The said regiment
was on duty under orders OF the authorities
of the State OF Maryland when attacked by
great number Of disorderly persons. and
in danger OF being killed. The soldiers
should have acted as body only under
orders of the ding officer in clear
ing the streets Of hostile mob, and in so
far are blamable as soldiers disobcying the
the orders not to fire. Though neverthe-
less. as no orders to fire were given, the SOL
diers were compelled, for their own pro-
lection, to defend themselves individually
as we'll as they could; still the jury are OF
opinion that, the soldiers being demoralized,
| q great deal Of unnecessary firing was done
on Baltimore street, especially west OF Gay
street The responsibility for the killing
of these persons rests tentirely with the
rioters, who attacked the soldiers.
