OF Gall0way-Evidence that CON.
verts an Apparent Street Fight
into . Brutal and UnprovOked
Murder.
Coroner Weldin, this morning,
held an inquest III the case of Peter
Galloway, who died esterday from
the effects Of a serious stab IN the
abdomen, inflicted on the night Of
July 4th, at Fifth and Church streets,
by Orlando Rose. The evidence was
very important, and unless contra
verted, shows that what was sup
posed to be the fatal result OF a
casual street fight was, in reality, a
brutal and unprovoked murder. The
following gentlemen composed the
jury: George Mccall, foreman
Theodore w. Francis, secretary
James Curlett, James A. Pennell,
VIM. Stilley, Caleb Taylor, Jacob
Williams. The jury met in Esquire
VIM. II. Brady's office, Third ana
Market streets.
The first witness was DR.. Thomas
A. Brown, who explained the char
acter Of Galloway's wound, and tes-
tilted that it caused his death.
Michael Maloney then testified.
He said That on Fourth of July eyen-
ing he heard dispute at Fifth and
Church streets, and looking in the
direction saw Galloway, Rose Henry
| Ward and man named Wright.
Galloway was very quiet, but Rose
seemed quite violent, and finally,
without provocation, hit Galloway
a hard blow in the face. The other
three men thea went up Church
street, leaving Galloway on the cor
ner. His uose was bleeding, and
John Maloney, Ia cousin of the wit
ness and the young man who was
first arrested on suspicion of hays
ing committed the assault), who
came up just then, gave Galloway
handkerchief with which to wipe the
blood from his face.
] DELHI BERATELY STABBED.
A few minutes later while the wit.
ness was talking to Galloway, Rose
came down Church street run against
Galloway, and commenced assaulting
him again, sticking him in the stomach.
The witness Maloney, did not see any
knite in Roses hand, and was not aware
Of the cutting, until Galloway threw
his arm across witness shoulder and
exclaimed "Oh, Mike, I'm stabbed !;
oh, my God, Pm stabbed p
| Immediately after the cutting Rose
ran up Church street, pursued by John
Maloney, Edward Murine and several
others at Seventh and Locustsstreets he
was seized by Erby Leech and Booney
Graham and MulIine wanted them to
take him to the police station, but they
did not comprehend his ofiense at the
time, and let him 60. Meanwhile Mich
ael Maloney assisted Galloway to a
resting place, and later, accompanied
by Murine, took bim to England's drug
store, Sixth and Lombard streets. Mr..
England said he could do nothing for
him, whereupon they proceeded at once
to DR.. Browns and fortunately found
him in. He dressed Galloway's wound,
aud he was then taken to his boarding
house, No. 81 Filth street.
The above testimony, which the
witness gave in the most clear and
positive manner, was corroborated in
every particular by Edward Murine,
who also saw the whole affair, from
the time that Rose struck Galloway
the first blow. He said that when
Rose struck Galloway in the face he
remarked "You s. of b-h,
come around the corner and I'll see
what. l can do with you," Murine
: saw Rose making the second attack
upon Galloway, but supposed he was
merely Furnishing him with his fists
until Galloway cned out that he was
/ stabbed. He also saw John Maloney
pick up the knife which Rose dropped
when he was first arrested at Seventh
aud Locust streets.
Chief of Police Maxwell testified to
having Rose arrested, and also to his
Identification, by Galloway, as being
tho assailant. The Chief also exhib.
tied the knife which was picked up by
, John Maloney. 1t was large pocket.
knife with two blades, the large blade
being about three inches long. The
Chief said that Rose, in talking with
him about the affair. said he did 1t IL
,, selt-defGnse, and that the knife he die
, it with was at home.
Esquire Brady testified that he callec
. ON Gallo way, on Tuesday, July 9th, ant
took his deposition, the substance o
which he related to the jury. The state
ments Of the deposition tally preclsel,
with the evidence of Maloney and Al ul
1 rine, as to the first unprovoked assault
BY Rose upon Galloway, and the subse
: quent stabbing. Galloway said Ros,
and his companions were strangers t,
him, but he gave an accurate description
of Rose, and afterwards positively iden
. titled him as his ass ailant.
