The jury consisting of E. M. Mckay, J. W. Eglecomb, Chas. Heath, W. c. Russell, J. R. Mckay and c. sslcido, impanellsd at Fairbank yesterday to inquire into the causes leading to the death of Richard A. Holmos, were un- able to obtain any testimony there which would warrant them in making any further statement that deceased met his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by the hand of an unknown person. Thinking an interview with the prisoner might throw some light on the matter, they adjourned to meet at Tombstone where they arrived last night. and requested the sherifis to bring the prisoner to Justice Alyord's office. This the sheriff, acting under instructions from Attorney General Herring, refused to do, as the prisoner was under arrest for murder. The verdict consequently remained un- changed.
