It is reported that Capt. Hay feels
deeply the fate of the unfortunate
young man and that he at first would
nut credit the facts ; aleothat Sergeant
Cady , whose word gees as far as any
( tan's in this country , gives Shrador

The prisoners will doubtless be

TDe 'VERDICT ,
At G o'clock last evening Coroner
Jacobs , accutnpanied by Deputy Sheritf
Crowull and the two prisoners , drove
out to Fort Omaha , whore the inquest
was resumed. The testimony of
Messrs. Squires and Wulsoy Was
taken andthatof Dr. M. A. Robert ,
the post eurgeou , who made the post
mortum. Thu latter testified that the
ball had entered below and back of
thu left car and had lodged in the
atlilial curd , producing itmtallt death.
The testimony of thin two men under
arrest did tot dilfer from that t f the
morntug. Thu jury therefore brought
in the following verdict :
" 1'110 said Eriauuul D. Shrader
came to Fla death by a pistol shat
wound received at the hands of Alfred -
fred Sq'nres , on the flight of August
19th 1882 , near Floreueu. And we ,
