The Daily Dispatch: June 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], $10 reward (search)
a pistol shot was fired from a window of a house on the corner of 7th and Locust streets, which took effect in the shoulder of one of the captains, when he gave the word to fire. Another is that a soldier accidentally discharged his rifle in the ranks, at which the whole company became frightened, and discharged a full volley into the crowd on the sidewalks and windows of the house. The Recorder's Court was in session, and the room was crowded with prisoners and spectators. Policeman Pratt was shot in the side, and died in ten minutes. Deputy Marshall Franzo received three balls in his legs, and will undoubtedly die. The names of the other persons who were killed on the pavement below have not been ascertained. The window just behind the Recorder's desk was riddled with bullets, and the broken glass was scatterred over his desk. The bodies of the killed and wounded were removed to the residences of their families. A thorough investigation of the affair will be had,
