THE ROANOKE TRAGEDY.
The Coroner’s Jury Renders a Verdict
Which Meets With Favor.
V Roanoke, Va., special says: • The
coroner’s jnry rendered a verdict Tues
day night as a result of their investi
gation into the cause of the death of
eight men who were recently shot
down during the reign of mob law.
Their finding is to tho effect that tho
men came to their death “by weapons
in the hands of men or soldiers of the
Roanake Light Infantry, under tho
command of Captain John Bird and
other officers,” and that the evidence
showed that he was acting under in
structions of Mayor Trout. Thejurors
think it best to reccommend that the
grand jury or other competent court
or authorities take chargo of and in
vestigate the legality of the acts of the
said officials.
Captain Bird was cross examined by
the jury and reiterated his statements
made previously that he considered
himself dealing with a mob and not
with citizens. He had given the or
der to tiro in a low tone of voice to
the four men called to the window
looking out upon the door being bat
tered in by the mob. It was pro
duced in the evidence of another wit
ness thet Eddy, one of the boys wound
ed, had just thrown a rock through
the jail window before being hit, and
that John Mills was among tho mob
near the west side door where the
demonstration was the loudest. The
verdict is received with goneral favor
in the city, it being considered, in
fact, all that the jury could justifiably
find from the evidence in the case.
