THE SHOOTING OF JACKSON.
The Coroner's Jury Think Omcer Oriani Net
justified in Firing.


The dead body of Andrew jackson, the al
lie ged colored thief who died from the effects Of
pistol shot wound of the body inflicted Friday
morning by Policeman Thomas Oriani while
the lntter was pursuing him. as heretofore pub
lished in THE STAR, lay a table in the morgue
OF the Emergency Hospital yesterday when
Deputy Coroner Schaeffer called to make the
post-mortem examination.
Jackson, as heretofore published, was caught
with three jars of milk in a basket at an early
hour Friday morning in alley laading north
from New York avenue between 18th and 18th
streets. He had a conversation with the officers,
claiming that he was employed in the house
from where he had taken the milk, and while
being given an opportunity to verify his claim
he made break for liberty and would proba-
bly, have succeeded in getting away had not the
officer shot him. He had only gone a few
yards from the officer when the first shot was
fred.
LOOKING AFTER THE PROSECUTION.
Assistant District Attorney Armes took charge
Of the case and, being Of the opinion that the
officer was not at all justified in taking the
mans life. he was present at the inquest yes
terday and conducted the case for the govern
ment.
The inquest was held In one Of the rooms in
well took the testimony for the district attor-
ney's Office. The jury was composed of Mars
Cassidy, John Collins, Daniel Washington,
Frank McHenry. Francis Niehaus and John h.
Eubank.
POLICEMAN HARRIsoN's STATEMENT.
Policeman W. II. Harrison was first sworn
and he said that he Witnessed the shooting. He
said that he was with Officer Oriani, detailed
in citizens clothes. They were coming up II
street just west Of 18th, when they saw two
men come out OF an alley. One of them was
about ten feet behind the other and he had a
basket on his arm. 1--WE asked him what he
had in the basket" said witness, land he an
swered il was none Of our business. We looked
in hfs basket and told him we we're officers
Seeing the milk in his basket" the witness con-
tinued, I'VE naturally suspected that he was the
milk thief"
DR.. Schaeffer, interrupting. inquired why he
should take him for milk thief and witness
said that he had been detailed that night with
Oriani to look out for milk thieves.
The negro said that he got the milk at the
back door of the house and was taking it to the
front door. He said to the officers that he was
employed there.

IDAHO TEST LAW.
The Legislative Oath Declared to he
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The Legislative Oath Declared to he
Unconstitutional.
BOISE Ida. Ocs. IA special TO the
Statesman from HALEY says that Judge
Stockslager, of the Fourth district court.
has declared the Idaho test oath law un-
constitutional. The case was brought by a
Mormon whom q registrar in Cassia county
had refused to register because ne refusad
to subscribe to the test oath. The Idaho
constitution provides that no person b0-
longing to an organization that teaches or
encourages polygamy shall exercise tho
franchise, Under this clause the legisla-
ture at its first session provided n test
oath, one feature of which is that the
elector must swear that he has
not. since Jan. l, 1888. belonged
to an organization which teaches or en-
courages polygamy, eto. Since the Nor
mon church renounced polygamy its mem
bers have been qualified to subscribe to the
constitutional provisions. but they cannot
take the Legislative test oath. Judge Stock
slayer holds that the legislative enactment
abridges n right guaranteed by the consti-
tuition; that it ID retrotractive. OK post
faoto, and therefore void.
similar case will be heard by the su-
preme court next week. If that body rules
as Stockslager has done it will increase the
vote of Idaho some 25oO0 and introduce a
new element into the election, the polioal
complexion of which cannot be accurately
determined.
