Lincoln admitted firing shots, hut denied an intention to kill. The jury returned a verdict of murder by persons unidentified. The foreman said that they wished to add a rider as follows: “ We are of opinion that there has been a grave miscarriage of justice.” The Coroner refused to accept this rider, saying: “You have no business to express such an opinion after the case has been tried by a higher court.”
