After a tedious investigation of two days, the verdict of the Coroner’s jury holding an inquest over the dead body of Aaron Cochrane, a freedman, found on Thursday last about three-fourths of a mile back of the residence of Mrs. S.S.L. Cochrane has been rendered.
The jury find that the deceased came to his death from a pistol or gun-shot wound, or both, inflicted by the hands of one or more parties, to the jury known. They find that some of them were attempting arrest, and also say “that while they regret the spirit of lawlessness manifested in such cases as here presented, still they are of the opinion that much of it is caused by the apathy and inefficiency of the peace officers of the county.
