 IS NOT FINISHED

 SHOOTING NEGRO.
Brown Loudly Cursed All Officers of City and County and Threatened
 to Kill Several of Them.

HNf'SN hhNARN0J 0A hbOh NJ AOl lAiNt Patrolman Harry Hall, had cursed all the officers of both city and county for the vilest of names, and had made specific threats that he would take the life of several patrolman, the mayor, and Police Judge Archer, was evidence adduced at the coroner's in quest started last ngnt at the court house by Coroner Dr. ]. P. Randolph,
 Brown made one single exception to the vile epithets he applied to all the officers, and that exception was in the instance of Prosecutor J. B. Wood. Almost the last thing Brown said as he stood at the saloon bar from which he was shot, was that they are all - except Judge Wood, and l will get some of them, and l will get you, too"
 This was addressed to Harry Hall.
 Here and there during the examina- tion counsel for Hall managed to get in evidence about Browns desperate and dangerous character in the com munity, and the facts that Brown had shot and killed one negro in the same saloon and had shot through the coat of white man in that saloon, were referred to.
 That. Brown was under indictment for having killed the negro waiter in the saloon previously, and that he had never been prosecuted for that tragedy, will be developed later in the hearing That this prosecution still hung over Browns head is taken to probably account for the fact that in his general villification of all off. cials, he saved an exception to the present occupant of the prosecutors office.
 Police Judge Jack Archer, from the evidence of last night, was probably the first one who Brown would have attempted to kill had he not met his death Thursday Last Monday morn ing Brown was in police court under charge of carrying pistol as { weapon. He entered plea of guilty Judge Archer fined him $100
 T,deya Arobo,. ,tc,,aIlxt par,,,ft- fbacr fined for carrying weapons to have them back, with the admonition not to carry them any more, but knowing the desperate condition in which Brown was, and that he had threat. ened the lives of several. Judge Ar cher did not permit Brown to carry his pistol from the court room Brown stated afterwards. according to evi- dence presented last night, that Judge Archer would not be walking the streets alive if he had gotten his pistol back that day after being fined $100.
 The crowd in the court room last night was not as large as might have been anticipated, but it filled the room and gallery. It was very much mixed, negroes being in evidence throughout the room. Police officers were stationed here and there in the crowd for purposes of public safety Officers Wiley, Lankford, Davis Dave and John Young, Moshier, Walz Brown and others kept close watch on the crowd.
 The wife, two Ntle children and several friends of Hall were seated about the first of the crowd. Two sls ters also occupied places nearby. Pros ecutor Wood represented the state Attorneys George P Wilmington and Dave Ryan looked after the interests of Hall.
 There was little of the spectacular In the proceedings, except after the examination of the physicians, wher the first real eye witness to the trag edy took the stand.
 The attending physicians wert widely varied in their evidence. Dr Bush, first witness from the physi clans, was certain the ball had en tered from the right side, ranget through the body, struck a rib, anC came out on the left side.
 It's entrance, according to Dr. Bush was rather posterior to the body or the right side, making it somewhat O shot from behind, entering lowei down than from where it came out Dr. John S. Wood stated the bulle entered on the right side along tho fleshy part of the arm, ranged into the body, and described the outside wound the same. His evidence mad | the wound of the bullet more forwars than the evidence of Dr. Bush. Dr John Proctor thought the bullet en tered the left side, and ranged ou the right, and his remembrance wa that he and Dr. Bush had agreed ol their theory when the examination was made Dr. Bush did not remem Der that the arm had been penetrat
