Hempstead.
HEMPSTEAD, May 7. — The inquest on the killing of J.H. Farr is concluded and the verdict rendered in accordance with the facts heretofore published. The examining trial is now in progress and the evidence discloses that Farr was shot in the back without warning. Cloud claims that the publications in the Courier had nothing to do with the homicide, but that he was actuated by the animus of an old quarrel. The widowed wife is Cloud's sister.
