INV YORK, August 3.-No particular
change in the state OF affairs along the main
llse OF the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad. a spirit OF lawlessneSS

Verdict I'm the baltimore Riot Case
BALTIMORE, Md, August 3.-The jury OF
inquest in the case of the persons killed IN
The late riot by the members of the 9Th regi-
ment, after deliberation of three and half
hours, rendered the following verdict: The
jury fiEd that Thomas Byrne aud niue others
came 10 their deaths by musket balls fired
10y members OF the 9Th regiment Maryland
National Guards, unknown 10 the Jury. on
the nlgDt Ol FRIDAY, 10th OF July, 1871, be
tween and O'Clock, at the corner of Front
and Fayette streets, on Front TO Baltimore
street, and on Baltimore street from Front TO
Light street. 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 be-
ing killed. The soldiers should have
acted, as body, under orders only
OF the commanding officer In clearing the
streets of a hostile mob, and in so far are
blameable ps soldiers disobeying the orders
not 10 fire, though, nevertheless, as no orders
10 fire were given, the soldiers were COM
Eelled, for their own protection, TO defend
themselves individually as well as they
could. Still the jury are of opinion that the
soldiers, being demoralized a great deal of
unnecessary firing was done on Baltimore
street, especially west OF Gay street The
responsibility for the killing OF these per
SONS rests entirely with the rioters who at
tackled the soldiers. We are further OF the
opinion that the authorities, after adding to
the already great excitement by sounding
the military call, should have had police
force at the armory sufficiently large 10 pro
tect the assembling soldiers from the assaults
seli-defence."
