the gun was discharged; I turned in
stantly around and deseased was
etill leaning against the wagon, and
as he staggered from it, JorJen
jumped up and caught him and eas
ed him to the ground. He died, 1
think in ten minute. 1 think his
death was caused by the accidental
discharge of his gun in his own
bands. , I do not know how the gun
was discharged, but think, thaf it
was left cocked, and by some unac
countable w ay it was discharged.
Mr. Jordan - was sitting within
about ten feet" of diseased, when -the
gun went off. No gun was near Jpr

in wringing out Iris socks

charge passed througq both hands

THK VERDICT.
We, tln jurors upon our oath do say
that the said John Johnson, diseased,
came to his death ou the 4th day ef
