Inquest

--Coroner Richard D. Sanxay, on yesterday, assisted by Constable Freeman, hold an inquest over the body of George Crow; at the Duval street church. They returned a verdict that he came to his death by a gun-shot wound inflicted by Wm. Blankinship with a musket on Monday evening, February 10, 1862. Wm. J. Ragland acted as foreman of the jury. The testimony established the fact that the thigh of deceased was fractured in two places, and that he died from mortification. The affair which led to the death of Crow was briefly alluded to in this paper a few days since. It was stated that Justices Burton and Leigh had sent the prisoner on to be examined before the County Court for malicious shooting. It is presumed that since the death of Crow the prisoner will be arraigned for the more serious offence of murder in the first degree.
