better read the verdict to Mr. Jeffords.
This was done. and Mr.. Jeffords then
added: Thesverdict is incomplete. II the
Jury with to d1smiss Miss Flagler they
l must say s0,' or words TO that effect No
\ suggestion as 10 any change in the verdict
came from me- In the first place the cor
| oner and the Jurymen assented to Mr.. JEFF
fords' suggestion.
THE squestion then was what words
should be added. Mr.. Jeffords suggested
form. and l suggested another, the OBJ
Ject OF both being to declare that the jury
could not hold Miss Flagler. Neither
suggestion was accepted, however. DR..
Hammett then said suppose we say, and
upon tue evidence we cannot hold her '
This was acceded to by all the jurymen,
Mr.. Jeffords and myself.
The coroner then suggested that the
verdict would have to be rewritten. De-
string to spare Miss Flagler the continued
anxiety and fearing disturbance might
eDsue among the large crowd, composed
mainly OF colored people outside the sta
tion house II the verdict were known, then
suggested 10 the coroner that he should

cepted by all 10 the verdict.
HE sat down at the table and himself
wrote the words referred to. The jurymen
were asked twice explicitly whether or not
they Consented to the We rtiict in its amended
shape and all assented audjbly. There
was not the slightest expression Of dissent.

HOW THE CASE STANDS.
II will add that public niisapprehension
as to the verdict is very great, as it does
not constitute the slightest OBJ
stacle to the consideration by one or any
number of grand juries of Miss Flagler's
case. 1t is of Importance to her in the fol-
lowing respect only-th a body OF un-
prejudiced citizens holding an inquest at
the usual time have declared that in their
opinion she wasguiltle ss ofany crime"
This finding has a moral effect which
she is entitled to, and which do not intend
that she shall lose. Technically the YER
dict is defective. but 1t is admitted by all
the jurymen that their intention was to dis
charge her from custody"

WIN she attempt to evade the authori-
ties?" was asked.
Not at ALL She will give bail to appear
and answer any charge which may be
brought against her. On the other haud,
she is extremely anxious TO have the whole
affair thoroughly investig ated.'
1t is currently reported to-day that the
shooting OF young Green by Miss Fiagler
was not the frs thine that the young lady
has engaged in pistol practice, with small
coiored boys as targets
1t now appears that five days before
Miss Fiagler's final Ehots at the Green
lad. she discharged her revolver al an
other crowd OF boys near the place where
Green was killed. Fortunately, however,
this shot was not so effective as the one
fired at Green. as it missed the object Of
its aim and struck the ground 1t is said,
however on tais occasion, that Miss Fiagier
informed the boys that If they returned she
would shoottlem. 1t is pot known whether
or not Ernest Green was among the crowd
of boys she shot at on Monday but come of
his COMPANIONS with him the day he was
ki led were at the Flagler residence the
day Miss Bette made her threat.
II is said that interested colored people
who have heard these rumors will give
them a thoro- = investigation and report
to the Indignation meeting which it is
said Will be held tonight. They may, il
true, also go q long way toward tnfluenc-
ing the grand jury in making its decision
when the case is taken up and considered
by It.
