Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 26.-That
they came to their death from gun

The jury also commended Sheriff
william Haddock of Allegheny county

in protecting the property and persons
in that vicinity"
Coroner s. C. Jamisoh, in his
charge to the jury, said:
From the testimony introduced
here it is a certainty that riot ex-

deputy sheriffs did their duty when
they fired"
