The Verdict of the Roanoke Jury in
Regard to the Shooting of Eight Men
Last Week.
United Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
ROANOKE, VA, Sept. 27.-The cor
oner's Jury rendered verdict last night
as a result of their investigation into
the cause of the death of the eight men
who were shot down during the riot on
last Wednesday night.
Their finding is to the effect that "the
men came to their death by weapons in
the hands of men or soldiers Of the
Roanoke Light Infantry, under the com
msnd OF Captain John Bird and other
officers" and that the evidence showed
that he was acting under instructions
from Mayor Trout. The Jurors think it
best to recommend that the grand jury
or other competent court or authority
take charge of and investigate the
legality of the acts of said officials.
Captain Bird was cross, examined by
the jury and reiterated his statements
that he considered himself dealing with
mob and not citizens. He had given
the order to fire in a low tone OF voice
to the four men called to the window
looking out upon the door, which was
being battered in by the mob. 1t was
produced in the evidence of another
witness that Eddy, one of the boys
wounded, had Just thrown rock
through the Jail window before being
hit, and that John Mills was among the
mob near the west side door where the
demonstration was the loudest.
The verdict is received with general
favor here, it being considered all that
the jury could justifably find from the
evidence in the case.

by the illing of articles of incorporation
Of the Mississippi Lumber Company

magnitude than 1t really is.
The knowledge that the new concern
embraces every lumber and log mag
nate doing business on the Mississippi

ter.
The trust will be limited to an exist
ence of 20 years and cannot contract

army to fight against the people OF
which the soldiers are part. Without
doubt, quite portion of the army would
improve any feasible means of joining
the ranks of the contestants against the
throne. The Germans are slow to move;
but when they are once aroused they
are fierce and unyielding.
Socialism IS so very repulsive to the
general American sentiment that the
sympathies of Americans are generally
on the side of the kaiser in this contest.
Americans do not believe In the army
bill; they think it unnecessary and un-
wise; but their dislike for socialism is
SO strong that they would prefer the
bill should 60 through than that the
socialists should gain victory. But
the socialism of Germany is the out
growth largely of the financial situa-
ton of the country: situation which
owes its existence almost entirely to
milifarism and the aggressive foreign
policy of the crown. There is an ex-
cuse for the existence of socialistic
sentiment in Germany which does not
exist here or in England.
