VERDICT GIVEN
IN HENRY CASE

The coroner's jury empanelled to
hold an inquest in the case Of Addison
Henry, colored, who was slain by 2
fellow workman in a section gang on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, n
June 10. returned a verdict last even
ing as follows:
Addison Henry, colored, came TO his
death on June 10 from a crushed skull
inflicted by an iron bar at the hands
of Gaetano Viscido."
The testimony did not show the mo-
tive of the murderer for killing his
fellow workman. Both men were con -
sidered splendid workmen and as far
as could be learned there was no bad
feeling between them.
Several of the witnesses, countrymen
of the alleged murderer. attempted TO
show that Henry was a bad man and
was constantly at war with the 70 ,
eigners in the gang. other witnesses.
among them the foreman of the gang
however, testified that Henry was quiet
and Industrious and was never heard
TO revile the foreigners.
It came out at the hearing. Z that
another man, a countryman of Viscido,
who was seen running down the en-
bankment at the time Henry was killed
and was there when the tragedy oc-
CURED, has disappeared along with
Viscido.
Robbery is supposed to have been
the only motive for the crime.
