Ballet Konnd la Body of kounff Re
porter Prove* to be 38, Thu* Clear
ing Brown and McDonald, From
Whoae Pistol* It Could Not Have
Been Fired—Quiet Reign*.
The coroner’* jury investigating
the death of Sidney J. Cohen return
ed the following verdict at 1.07
o'clock Thursday morning:
“That the said Sidney J. Cohen
came to his death October 15, 1915,
at Roper hospital, Charleston County,
from a 38 calibre pistol shot wound,
said pistol .having been fired from
vicinity of doorway between ante
room and executive committee room
on the southwest corner King and
Qeorge streets, Charleston county, by
party or parties unknown to this
July, on October 15, 1915.’'
According Co the report of the cor
respondent of The State Wednesday's
testimony was so voluminous that
only the high lights can be Indicated.
Ktvy Pearlstlne, M. D.. who perform
ed the autopsy upon Mr. Cohen, said
death resulted from hemorrhage, due
to a gunshot wound entering the
right hip, ranging forward and up
ward across the body, piercing the
small and the large Intestine, sever
ing the Internal Iliac artery and pro
ducing hemorrhage Into the abdomi
nal cavity.
The bullet lodged in an abdomi
nal muscle on the left side, about
three Inches above and a like dis
tance forward of the point of en
trance on the other side. The only
external bruise was one on the chin
made by use of a pulmotor in an at
tempt to revive Mr. Cohen.
Dr. Pearlstlne produced the bullet
be had removed from the body, which
he said was of lead and in calibre
was 3 8. He said he had kept It con-
etantly under his own eyes until he
had given It to the coroner under
eeal In an envelope Indorsed In his
handwriting. He opened this en
velope in court and Identified the bul
let.
This bullet had assumed great Im
portance. because teetimony had been
given from which either Henry J.
Brown or Edward R. McDonald, the
under arr**t, might have been
ted of flring the shot that kill
Ir. Cohen. But the police Thurs
day Identified as Brown’s weapon a
Colt revolver of It calibre and as
McDonald's a Colt automatic pistol of
the same calibre, but carrying steal
Jacketed lead bullets
Other teetimony was that all the
police officers preeeat acre armed
with revolvers carrying lead bullets
Boms of thane officers, among th
Chief Cantwell and Special Officer
Frank Hogan, had II calibre guns.
Some of th* testimony Indicated that
both of thee* officers discharged
their revolvers la the melee Wheth
*r or not any of the other II calibre
revolvers taken from persona In th*
nlttee headquarters Friday had
ion fired did not appear In evidence.
John Murphy, a Grace commlttee-
that Brown fired north
ureetward. Mr. Cohen fell la the
southeast corner. He said he could
positively swear that th* bullet from
Chief Cantwell’s gun, when the
pon was discharged In the scuffle
with Brown, went through a window
He said he could see both of Win
gate's hands while he and Brown
were struggling but saw no pistol in
Wingate's possession
William O'Brien said he saw Win
gate on the floor bleeding, while
Brown stood nearby, gun In one hand
and box of cartridges in the other,
apparently reloading
Max Goldman said he saw Jlogan
disarm Rentiers In the snteroom.
“That started the whole trouble,” he
declared. The witness said he was
aot armed.
Frank Hogan, for two years a spe
cial plain clothes police officer, and
generally known in the community as
“Rumpty Raffles,” was on the stand
for some time. Much of his testi
mony had been anticipated In that of
other witnesses. He said he saw
Brown run into the room, wheel and
fire back into the doorway upon Win
gate. He himself “covered" and dis
armed several persons, he said,
among them Harry Steencken, George
Rentiers and John Healy. He de
nied that he fired at any time his own
gun, a 38 police revolver. 1
"Brown fired the very first shot,
he asserted. "It went into the side
of the door frame and is there yet
"John Healy, a former sergeant of
police, had stood guard over the bal
lot boxes stored in the committee
headquarters overnight.
"Hogan was there, apparently
drinking," he said. The witness de
clared he saw weapons in nobody’s
hands except those of Chief Cantwell
and Hogan. “I saw Private Quinn
deliberately start to shoot into the
committee room," said Healy.
■said, ‘For God’s sake, man, don’t|_ admi T t T te d he . ha d t ^tforked
shoot,’ and he did not fire.” He saw
Hogan and Chief Cantwell come in
with drawn guns. He saw the chf^f
fire at Brown. This was about the
last shot. W. Turner Logan didn’t
shoot, though he had his pistol out.
There must have been 15 to 18 shots.
W. 8. Moore, a restaurant keeper,
ified as to threats he said Brown
made In his place to "turn a
tricltiJ’ at the committee meeting
with a pistol which he displayed.
Moore admitted he served Brown
with beer <nd whiskey. The witness
said be knew both Brown and Mc
Donald. He identified them when
they were produced Thunday.
J, K. Livingston aaid he aaw
Brown burst Into the committee
vhtrl around and fire on Wtn-
“That was th* first shot,” he

Chief Ontwsil testified at
ad spa Slag Asftag
■
( hMrrnaa Black of tha committee.
Ha himself did not eater ths reams
until ha had heard several shots. He
Inquired, “Who did th* uhootiagr n
and a number of voices answered,
“Brown and McDonald.”
The-chief said he faltered at th*
door, because these men had once
been officers under him aad he knew
them to be desperate men and strong
partisans. McDonald had killed a
negro while he was on the force.
Brown had struck a 'man with an
ax*. He saw Brown In th* northeast
corner with s pistol. He claimed to
be a deputy. The witness' gun went
off In his struggle with Drown. The
bullet went out of the window.
Brown then submitted and police pro
tected him from the crowd, including
Wingate’s father.
Chief Cantwell Identified a note
picked up by Sergeant Fosberry as
one made Just before the riot by Mr.
Cohen. The bandwriting was verified
by iMr. Emerson of The Evening Post.
The memorandum read: "Meeting
called to order at noon, large squad
police cleared room to doorway." The
paper was torn and bloodstained.
Brown's and McDonald's weapons
were identified by Chief Cantwell and
opened. Brown's revolver was load-,
ed all round. McDonald’s had an
empty shell In the barrel and lacked
one more cartridge of containing Us
capacity of ten. The witness said the
police hold six other guns besides
these, all of them confiscated at the
committee rooms. He denied that
Hogan said to him, “There will be
hell when I get there." He denied
he had pointed a gun at Steencken.
Denied he bad said to Hyde wit
nesses: “Come In, you cowards.'’
Chief Cantwell attributes the whole
trouble to arming of irresponsible
persons as deputies and putting them
there without any sign of such au
thority. Several of them, including
Brown, had no other evidence of a
right to carry a gun than old war
rants. Two McDonald carried were
two months old. These warrants
were placed In evidence Thursday.
M. Rutledge Rivers, former chair
man of the committee, who attended
the meeting as attorney for Maj.
Hyde, gave a vivid description of the
fight. He saw Brown back In, draw
ing his pistol, and shoot down Win
gate. Brown was there as one of bis
witnesses. He aaw James Sottlle
picking up a gun from the anteroom
floor. He saw no weapon in the
hands of Wingate at any time.
Brown’s back as he fired was toward
where Cohen bad been seated
W. Turner Logan said he saw
Brown and Wingate quarreling, but
was swept Into the anteroom then by
the ruth of men and when he re
turned. pistol In hand. Wingate lay
on the floor. Policemen protected
Brown after he surrendered. ’He
heard somebody In th* room say Mc
Donald had killed Cohen The flrat
shot he henrd was at the door, near
which he sat
Sergeant Quinn said he had taken
Rea tiers to th* call box In the street
and did not got back Into the room

8. Wingate, father of WUI’.am Win-
gat*, told ef seeing Brown shoot
down his son Brown’s, hs said, was
lbs first shot fired. Afterwards. It
appeared to him, he aaid, that
“Brown was picking his men to shoot
at and McDonald likewise." He
McDonald fire in the direction of
Cohen. The witness said, answering
a question from Foreman Geer, that
his son was Improving and he believ
ed would recover though hit skull
had been penetrated
Spocial Officer Doar told of seeing
Brown shoot Wingate. The witn
said he had on his person a 38 calibre
revolver but did not use It
I ..Policeman Buck told of wringing
a pistol from s man Chief Cantwe’l
and other officers were trying to
overpower.
Policeman Tumbleston said be
grappled with Brown on seeing him
shoot down Wingate. He heard shot
to his right and aaw Cohen fall. Hr
saw no one but Brown with his pistol
out.
Policeman Walsh said Chief Cant
well’s bullet went through the win
dow and struck a wall across the
street.
Policeman Murphy gave similar
testimony as to what became of this
bullet^ "McDonald,” he said, "was
holding his pistol in his right hand.
He was facing north.” Other wit
nesses had testified that Mr. Cohen
when he fell was at McDonald’s
right.
Policeman Charles E. Ryon said
he grabbed Goldman as he slid down
the pole and then clubbed a man
who tried to rescue the prisoner.
iM. S. Denson said that from street
he saw Frank Hogan come .out on the
balcony, unbreech his revolver and
apparently reload it, then reenter the
room. He had heard Wingate say
just before the meeting, “There is
only one man we want to get." The

Official estimates of the navy’s
part in the administration’s billion
dollar national defense program were
made public Tuesday night by Secre
tary Daniels. They show that within
five years It is proposed to spend
$502,482,214 on construction of new
ships, development of aircraft and

the personnel it Is estimated that all
battleships not more then 15 years
old, destroyers and submarines built
within 12 years, half of the cruisers
and all of the gunboats and neces
sary fleet auxiliaries, can be manned
and an adequate reserve be maintain
ed for veaeela on tbe reserve list. To

He asserted that A. H. Brouthers
started for him Friday with a knife
and he tried then to draw his gun
from its holster under his left
shoulder, but Dan Lesesne interfered
and Brouthers desisted. A few min
utes later, after others had fired sev
eral shots, he saw Cohen fkll, col
lapsing Just as a shot sounded from
the doorway. He saw Wingate ad
vancing toward Brown and started
over there but was seized by Jerry
O’Brien.
The witness said he got his pistol,
for which O’Brien and others were
grasping, and held it in his right
hand across hls body, his thumb
against the safety catch to prevent Its
being discharged. If it went off In
the scuffle he doesn’t knoqr It. He
gave up to Sergeant Fosberry, but
after that officer had taken bis gun,
he left him to tbe gang without pro
tection.
He heard M. 8. Sullivan aay to
Cantwell. “My God. chief, can't you
kill that man.” The witness grubbed
the chief's gun and said, “My God,
chief, don’t kill him.” The wUneus

eaid:
“The bureau of construction and

production of the new battleehips,
estimates that each dreadnought will
