Coroner's Inquest -
(527) Peter Carnes, July 10,1900
Verdict: I find that Peter Carnes, came to his death on the morning of the 10th of July, 1900 from the effects of a pistol shot wound in the chest received at the hands of Arch Dye. The killing occurred about 6:30 o'clock on the morning of the above date, on the corner of East 5th and Market Streets, New Albany, along side the saloon of John Ruhr, near 5th street entrance. The evidence of the witnesses who were near at the time of the shooting gives me no clue as to the provocation for the killing. One shot was fired, which entered the chest on the right side, below 1st & 2nd rib, about an inch to right of sternum, death resulting instantly.
