The CORONER INQUEST.-COrOner Clark
yesterday afternoon held an inquest on the
remains of the man who was murdered
Wednesday evening on the Norris Grant.
Several witnesses were examined among
whom were the coal burner and the rail
road section boss, who heard the shots and
were first to discover the body. The ex-
animation was conducted by District At
fornev Buckley. and the evidence stem
ographically reported by Bing c.
Brier The jury after hearing all the
evidence and discussing the same
among themselves for quite while, made
and signed the following verdict:
d" We, the jury, summoned to inquire into
the identity and cause of death of a man
found dead near Arcade station, in this
county, on the evening of February 4, 1855,
do find that said deceased was named
James W Duffey, aged about AZ years, a
native of Ireland, and that he came to his
death at said time and place from the et-
fects of gunshot wounds, inflicted by some
person or persons whose names to the jury
are unknown. And we further find that
said WOUNDS were SO inflicted feloniously
and with malice aforethOught." The muir
der. so far, seems to be deeply shrouded in
mystery, although the officers are doing all
they can to unrayel it, and no doubt they
have some clue to the perpetrators which
at this time would not be wise to give to
the public.
