We have to say that the report of the testimony taken before the Coroner’s jury published in the Star, (on the day after,) was written by a member of the Washington bar, and accorded to the Star office by way of verifying the accuracy of the report made by the editor of the Star in person, at the same time, of course. It was duly com with the latter report, with which it agreed in all rticulars. Being written in a more legible hand ban the report made by the editor of the Star, it was used In preference to that.
