The jury 4 took but two ballots, the first being 0 for acquittal and 3 blank. On the second ballot a unanimous 1 Verdict was agreed upon. 'v a) The lat day of the Bowlsby trial commenced yentcrday, with the defend ant on the stand. He gave a detailed ac count of his trip to Portland, and tow he had puHcd up aide streets, through fear of bcin waylaid by Jennings,' and hi chum. He found that he could not make proper connections, to go overland to his home, o took the steamer Al liance. When he reached Astoria be came up the dock, as he bad telegraphed hi brother-in-law that he was coming on the Alliance Harrold met him and told him that Jennings was in town, and to look out for him. Bowlaby did not go up town out returned to the -steamer. As he boarded the steamer, to go to ma stateroom, he saw two men on the side of the boat, on which bis stateroom waa located, and thought that one of them wna Jcnninirs. He feared to go to hi tatroom, fearing that they would shoot him as they had threatened, ..He went forward and aceinir that the men were Jnninir and his chum, and that they carried their hand in their coat pockets, in the manner in which they threatened to "get him." He took aim and fired. The rent of the atory was told in the other evidence. The last witness for the defense waa John Harrold who awore that Jcnninirs had made the threats, and he bad communicated them to Bowlsby, This ended the evidence for the defense, and Dr. Fulton was called to the stand, by the prosecution. Dr. Fulton testified that when be examined Bowlsby, ac ine jail, a few days after bis arrest, Bowla- by seemed rational. Assistant District Attorney McCue mude a fine opening argument, for the prosecution. He pictured Jennings as an Innocent young man, led on by a woman nearly old enough to be his mother. That ahe had lured Jennings to his death, and that Bowlaby had no riirht to kill the victim. Hia speech was considered strong from the point of view of the state, but be could only prove tie killing. In opening lor the defense How ard Brownell, for the defense, took up the thread of the defendant's life, from the time of his first meeting with Mrs. Bowlsby and carried it up to Us mar riage, the building of his home; its wreckinir and the commission of the crime. His plea was to the understand ing of the jury, as to what would cause the condition that Bowlsby was claimed to be in, when the climax of the trouble came. It waa well delivered and evident ly had an effect on the jury. John H. Smith followed with a forci ble and convincing argument in which he took tip the legal aspect of Bowlsby' conditions and action and while he stat ed that be did not claim a verdict on "unwritten law,", but asked the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty on ac count of insanity. He made a splendid point in bringing Bowlsby's 13-year-oia eon before the jury asking them what they would have done bad they been in Bowl&by's place. District Attorney Hedges closed for the state and Btiongly laid down the law to the jury. The state, he claimed, had proved their case and sentiment should not prevail in their deliberations. Judge McBride then charged the jury, explaining to them the different phases of murder and instructing tliem as to their deliberations on the merits of the evidence. He instructed them that their verdict should be either of five verdicts a follows: Murdef in the first degree; murder in tW second degree; man slaughter; not guilty, on account of in sanity , and not guilty. . . The result of the jury's deliberation is shown above, and gave universal sat isfaction judging from expressions heard after the news of the verdict had been disseminated, v - . Bowlsby, when seen last night, ex pressed himself as very grateful to the jury and the attorneys .who o ably de fended him. He said that Judge Mc Bride's charge waa a most impartial one and that he even had no .feeling against those who tried to convict him, He na turally feels elated though he has all through his ordeal felt that he would be acquitted. .' ,:..' -- : " 'fi, r.

They have grown to resent it and this is the sign of better things. The man who knocks on Astoria at present toon loses any friend he may have in this city. The people are get ting patriotic for the town and they will not stand to hear Astoria knocked. They have become so confident in its future that it is a reflection on their intelligence when' some "fresh" article starts to belittle the city and the efforts of the citizens to place it where it should tand as the leading shipping and distributing point in northwestern Ore gon and southwestern Washington.

Even the Portland paper have become convinced that they cannot ignore the city any longer and yet tell the news of Oregon. During the past two week quite a number of columns have been regretfully given to announce Ihe doings of the railroads in this section . Everything points toward a rapid growth, in the manufacturing and ship ping interests at this point.
