INQUEST. – Our readers are aware that a cold-blooded murder was committed on Sunday evening last, at Chimborazo, by which an inoffensive young white man, who was a mere spectator of a rock-battle, lost his life at the hands of a negro, who deliberately shot him through the heart. We thought an inquest would have been held on the body, but no inquest was held.
