2 GRAHAM HELD JUSTIFIABLE. VINDICATED BV ACTION OP THE COHOXEH’S JURY. It Wu Fonnrt That Graham Acted In Self-Defense. Ill* Life Being Threatened by Bradford When the Fatal Shot Wo* Fired—Verdict Ac cented a* Jnotified by All the Fact* Presented. ' Tailahassee, Fla., June s.—Omitting the formal parts, the verdict of the Wakulla county coroners Inquest, upon the body of John T. Bradford, sensationally killed Sunday night at St. Marks, by John A. Graham, the Savannah capitalist, Is as follows: "Said John T. Bradford, on the third day of June S, 1900, about 7:30 o’clock p. m., did come to his death by means of several gunshot wounds, Inflicted by a pistol of about 38-calibre, in the hands of one John A. Graham, by whom the shots causing the death of the said Bradford, were fired; and we further find that In shooting said Bradford, the said John A. Graham acted only in self-defense, his life being in instant and imminent peril through a malicious and murderous as sault, then being committed upon him by the said Bradford; and we further find the killing of the said Bradford by the said John A. Graham, was justifiable homi cide In manner aforesaid, etc.” The verdict is seemingly accepted here as justified by all facts yet put in evi dence. HORTON WAS ACQUITTED.
