DowUby of coure admitted to the sheriff that he hot the man with a .41 Remington revolver. The Sheriff aw nd (.poke to Jenningn ami Jenning aid "I'm "hot. I have nothing to ay," The gun wa produced but it made no imprelon on Anybody connected with the eae. leant of ell, with HowUhy and Mr. Howlhy. Ilowloby Admitted that he,wa afraid omeone might ee him with the gun, before he had hot Jenning. and would take it Away from him. There wa an lnterinlion whilst the Sheriff wa on the tand In order that eounel on Iwth li!e might Indulge In liberal do-play of their legal knowhlge. Tlie deptity pninN-til ing attorney wa . undoubtedly "natW" Ami the flow of word wa quite pirlted.

Mrs. How bv nave this evidence without a lilu-n . h limit a siL-n of shame, and in the most mntter of fact And cohl-blooueu manner it i Mssible to imagine. Ilei brother, her huslmnd, ulid her ister-in law were in court but this npparently ad no effect upon the entire Indifference iliich ha marked her manner since she r.i aiioenrod before the Coroner, Mr HowUliv, she said, had elways ten gronl hnslwnd to her and had aJwavs treated her ktmtiy. n is posnn mm her feelings may be entirely hidddn and that he is attempting now ly A sacri lice of her-elf and her shnme to save the wrecWng of two live on Account of her own indiscretion. It- would be some thinir to lie able to give her credit for this. For so fur as human 1a w is con corned no tiuni-hment can ever touch her. She still maintains that her age is 3.1. Another dispute between counsel occurred as to admissable evidence and the iirocediire which resulted in the dc feoM Advising the district Attorney to hi hue library in hi nocket. A dismite os to the introduction of certain letters which McCue desired should he held for the state was waxing very hot when letters were snatched from one to another until the court interposed, and the facetious constanble murmured "sot to voce" that he would "arrest the whole cheese." Mrs, Uowlshy was on the stand a long time And slie said that Mrs. Watson the wife of a doctor at North Dend had sent her A telegram to look out for Mowlshy as he was coming on the Alliance disguised, She said she received letter from Jenning through this woman and Miss Jennings and that Mitt. Jennings had advised her to leave Bowlshy and go Away with the Jennings' family. Mrs. Uowlshy however said she would not leave her children and she know Uowlshy would not let her take them away, . Mrs. Jennings told Mrs. Bowlsbv at Mrs. Watson's to wait till Bowlshy died and then she and Clevef could marry. Ilarrol introduced some new. evi dence to the effect that he went with ON the or at any other old time YOU Can't look IN A "Wise"su.T HERMAN WISE Astoria's Leader in Men's and Boys' Wearables Jenning to the post office to cAh money order. On IeAving IlArrol asked Jenning if he intended to go AWAy And be have. To which Jennings replied tliAt he and hi friend had waited two nights At the depot for Bowlshy And if they saw him intended to shoot him a he passed between them. Hurrol had la-en to the district Attor ney' oltU And the chief of polico on the receipt of the telegrAm from Mrs. Watson to ask for protection as he be lieved Bowlsbv would kill his sister. It is possible the friend Jennings Attended to in his talk with Ilarrol wa Tom Whitemore. This evidence of Ilarrols is entirely new And never was hinted At nt the inquest. In the course of An other dispute which Arose between coun sel MeCure told Winton (for the de fense), that he (McCue) did not care a rap for Winton's 40 year oil the lench and at the bar, but he would like him to know that he (McCue) was no green horn. The evidence was shortly after concluded and Justice fioodman in giving his verdict said that he thought Bowlsbv hud Ih'cu so persecuted that he was half craned when he did the shooting and that he was perfectly satisfied After hearing the evidence that Bowlshy had lieen so terribly tried that he was not ic-poi.sible for his act, he therefore dis missed the case, At this juncture the people collected in the small room of the Justice Court jumped up to clasp Bowlshy by the hand and congratulated him. The Deputy 'Prosecuting Attorney immediately ordered the Sheriff to re arrest Bowlshy and hold him without Imil pending the filinj; of an informa tion against him in the circuit court charging murder in the first degree. iBowlsby was much put out and at tempted to argue matters with Sheriff l'omeroy. This however the Sheriff quickly' stopped and led tlie prisouer back to the county jail. When there Bowlshy tore off his hat and coat, and desperately demanded why they did not hang him now. He said he had twice boon acquitted and but for the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney he would be free. : In a talk with Judge MeBride, before whom the case will probably be tried in the circuit court, the Judge wns asked if he would make any comment on the case or on Justice Goodman's action. The Judge replied that he knew nothing About the case, that he had not read the newspaper reports, and never did read those reports on cases he was likely to have to try, nor did he rend criticisms ol hi, judgments. He said however that ho had heard that "Bowlshy had beer. arrested and that the unwritten law had been vindicated," The Judge said that lie knew of no such thing as the un written law; that he recognized no such thing in this country and that when people spoke of it he understood that to mean the beginning of mob law. This was most emphatic. - FuU House At Occident Barber Shop Yesterday was a busy day At the Occident Barber Shop; five cliAirs were kept busy from morn till ere And there were no long waits, either, ..
