 COURTS
After Careful DeHberation Jury Renders Verdict, But Make No Recommendation at the Inquest.

LOWELL. Nov. S.-The inquest in the Lee-Davis case was held this afternosn at , p. m. in Judge Hogan's office. The jurors were all present except Ar. Butler. who will have to show cause tomorrow morning why he should not be punished for con tempt.
 Fhe first witness sworn in was Mrs R. G. Mcbride. in front of whose door the shooting took place. Mrs NC Bride testified that she heard J. ID. Lee say he would get C. L. Davis, and she also testified that Lee went to his own. house twice, presumably to get his sbotgan: she claims that Lee was behind an oil cloth, which hung over d fenoe that divided her premises from Lees, and that Davis could not see Lee when he came up the path. Mrs. Nc13ride claims that she saw Davis stand near the bank building at Lo- well fthe Mason building. which IS plainly visible from the place where fne shooting took place, and that she sent word by her little Ocy, Rcose- welt, to Davis, that he should not come up to the house. but in spite of that Davis came up the hill with his coat thrown loosely over his should CTS Mrs. MeBride, when questioned, stated that it might have been poss- ible that Davis carried gun when coming toward her house, but that she was not aware of it, and never knew Davis to carry a gun. nor had she ever heard him utter threats against anybody However. when she saw Davis come through the lower en- trance in her premises sine screamed to him, but he seemed not to pay any attention. and shortly after that the shooting took place.
 The witness claimed that the first shot must have killed Davis, and that the second shot went too high. or it would have hit her. The witness identified various articles taken from the. dend man. also the shotgun with which She execution was done
 The witness testified Lee had threat ened rs "get" Davis. and also that he intended to get Mrs. Lee. The note that Mrs. Mcbride sent to warn Davis that Lee was there to "get" him, spe- officially advised him to come hooked up."
 F. A. Stevens, Cora Johnson. color ed. and Lizzie Robinson. colored, wee other witnesses called. but their .esI!- mony was immaterial. Not so in :he case of Attorney L. Kearney, who testified to seeing the deceased light after the shooting. Mir. Kearney on the witness stand. testified that Dav.s in course of conversation short time before the shooting, when he told him of the serious consequences, his living in open adultery with Mrs. Lee might have for him, answered that he did not care a d., as it was merely a question of who could get his gun first. and that he thought he had Lee foul on that score.
 Pete Williams testified to knowing Davis as an ex-convict and an all round bad man. who at one time last spring, while he was running sa- loon at Lowell. was looking for Lee with gun on his person for the evi- dent purpose of killing him.
 Clark Wynans testified to being the first person on the ground after the shooting. and finding the loaded re- yolyer of deceased between his legs.
 The jury was very particular to get af tke facts. and deliberated for some time ever their verdict Finally they agreed on the verdict that the de- ceased. C. l.. Davis was a native or Pennsylvania. aged 8 years, and that he came to bis death in Cochise coun- ty oa the 9th day of November. 1906. from a wound inflicted by shotgun in the hands of J. D. Lee.
 Nothing more. the case therefore will be fought out in the courts. Lee was represented at the inquest by J. w Ross, and it Is understood that the firm of Neale < Ross besidesa other able legal talent will defend Lee.
