"oo'" iiOiit "iiCil iiC Niott carly
Monday morning. The evidence
taken before the coroncr's jury was
I somewhat conflicting, but the facts
seem to be that Mr. English met Po-
liccmcn Rose and Daniels in front Of
Mr.. David's grocery on Assembly
street, and some words ensucd. Po-
liccman Rose denies that he struck
him, but witnesses testify that they
heard the blow ola club, and that
Daniels told Rose not to strike him
again. Mr.. English fell inscnsiblc,
and the policemen took him over to
the guardhousc. Attempts to recover
him failed, when physician was sent
for. The injured man was taken TO
the Central Hotel where nc died short.
ly after. DR.. Tallcy testified that he
died Of an injury to the brain from cx-
tcrnal violence. The coroncr's Jury
found that he died from u blow on the
head "inilictcd by some person or per-
sons unknown"
The next morning, says the Reqis-
ter, Captain Radcliffe, Chief Of Police,
appeared at the otlicc Of Trial Justice
Marshall and made affidavit that Mr..
}. Nj. English, the brother Of the de-
ceased, had threatened to shoot Police
man Rose Oh sight, and asked for 4
warrant for his arrest and to have him
bound over to keep the peace. Justice
Marshall issued the warrant, aud de-
livcrcd it to his constable, Mr.. John Ii.
Alice, to he served. Mr.. Altce started
to the Central Hotel TO arrest Mr.. j. NJ.
English. After Mr.. Aztec had left the
Office, Justice Marshall directed Police
man Rose, who was present with Po-
liccnian Daniels, to go home and re-
main out OF the way till Mr.. English
had given bond to keep the peace.
They went out Of the office, but it
seems from what followed that Justice
Marshalfs advice was disregardcd
Mr.. Altce met Col. Wallacc's carriage
at the Wheeler House, containing Mr..
English, Col. Wallace and the culored
driver. They were on thcir way to
Justice Marshalls Office to take out 4
warrant for Policeman Rose. Mr..
Alice stopped the carriage. They i'll
vitcd him to ride with them to the Of
lico. lie got in the carriage telling
MIR. English chat he had Il warrant for
his arrest, to which Mr. English assent
cd.
AS the carriage turned the corner by
Law Range, Policeman Rose and
Daniels were standing on puiXotto's
corner. andas soon as tho carriage
came opposite them the firing OF pis-
tolls began, Mr.. English firing from
the carriage and both policemen firing
at the carriage. Accounts differ us to
Which fired first. Az least five shots
were fired altogether. No one fired
from the carriage but Mr.. English.
AS soon as Mr.. English drew his pis-
tol Mr.. Altcc graspcd tho hand in
Which he held 1t, and the driver caught
tho other hand. After some .slrug-
Cling Mr.. English succeeded in getting
his hand out OF tho carriage, and fired
till his pistol, for some reason, would
shoot no longer. From the appear
ancc ofthc pistol it seemed that he fired
three times. Mr.. English says he had
all tho time regarded Mr.. Daniels with
especially friendly feelings, as, al
though he did not know him personal
ly, he heard that Daniels had inter
icrcd and prevented Rose from strik-
ing his brother ofincr, and he had
boon inquring for him in order to get
true statement OFT the matter from him
he did not know that the policeman
with Rose was Daniels, and he saw
both policemen draw their pistols be-
fore he drew his. BY the time Mr..
English could fire the first shot the car
riagc had proceeded as far as in front
of Bachman 81 Ioumans' office. The
horse became frightened by the firing
and ran past the Trial Justices Office,
and could not be stopped till he reach
cii the court house corner, halfa square
away.
1t seems almost miraculous that no
ono was killed, as there were four pcr-
sons in the carriage. Mr.. Alteo fell
from the carriage and was picked up
in a senscless condition and taken to
Mr.. MarshalPs office. For some time
it was thought that he was shot and
killed, but after an examination it was
concluded that he was only stunned by
a blow on the head received in falling.
Late last night, however, DR.. Turnip-
seed having made q further examina-
lion, expressed the opinion that the
concussion on his head had been caus-
cd by pistol bullet grazing it. We
wore glad TO learn that he was doing
well and his wound was not considered
dangerous.
Mr.. English was arrested and re-
quircd to give bond Of 5000 to keep
the peace. Policeman Rose was also
arrested and lodged in Jail Oh the
charge OF murder III killing Mr.. John
English, and Policeman Daniels was
also required to give bond Of $500 to
appear before Justice Marshall next
"Wednesday and answer to the charge
of assault and battery with intent to
kill. ~ second warrant was also issu-
cd against Mr.. j. M. English on a
