cent encounter in the Peerless saloon be- tween Thomas G. Hewlett and Harry Haynes, which resulted in the death of Hewlett and of John T. Shugart, the coroner's jury yesterday afternoon agreed upon two verdicts, both of which charge Haynes with unlawfully firing the fatal shots. No reference was made of course, by the coroners jury to the injuries re- ceved by the three others at the time of the shooting
 A few hours after the shooting Friday night, May 4, Coroner w. D. Paris com menced to empannel q jury to investigate the killing of MT. Hewlett-sIr. Shugart being still alive. On the following morn ing the jury of six met and after organ ization, viewed the remains of Hewlett at the undertaking establishment of Lige Loy. Last Sunday Mir. Shugart died and the following day an inquest was held by the jury over his remains. Since that time the coroners jury has held sessions daily, witness after witness being examined behind locked doors.
 Two Witnesses Visited.
 Yesterday afternoon the jury visited the home of Dave Tyeus. one of the three men who received slight injuries at Woodlawn. Later a visit was paid to the hospital and Leonard Poss, second victim who was injured. was interviewed This completed the taking of the testi- mony and in the afternoon the jury met at the court house and drafted a verdict. It will be seen from the above that Juror Dunlap did not sign the first verdict but did the second. It is said that this juror would not agree with his colleagues on the shooting of Hewlett.
 The testimony offered by all of the witnesses before the coroners jury was reported In detail and it will be sub mltted probably to the grand jury when that body takes up the case this week.
 Since I have been coroner of Jefferson county I have never known of case so thoroughly investigated by a jury em- panneled by me. as this one has been" said Coroner Paris last night. Both of the bodies were examined, and all of the witnesses summoned were questioned closely.
 ''There is no doubt in my mind that only two bullets struck MT. Shugart, opinions of others who did not have the opportunity to investigate the case, to the contrary, notwiths landing. Dr. Copeland and Dr. Wyman and the mem bers of the jury agree that the fatal bullet entered MT. Shugart's left side and penetrated the body. The bullet which had steel jacket struck the weapon carried by Mir Shugart in his right hip pocket, and embedded itself back in the same wound. This fact will reveal itself to anyone who will examine the clothing worn by Mir. Shugart at the time of the s3ooting.'
