Nevertheless, a rose by any oth- er name is still a rose, and when the verdict came in after just 30 minutes of deliberation, it was a clear victory for The Unwritten Law: “Not Guilty on Account of Insanity.” But the headline the Morning Oregonian chose to apply to its fi nal article on the Bowlsby-Jen- nings affair nicely sums up the growing ambivalence the news- paper was feeling about The Unwritten Law: “ANOTHER SLAYER ACQUITTED.” It was an ambivalence that would ripen into full-blown re- volt later that same year, in an event involving a jealous wife- beater, a philandering police- man, a saloon and a gunfi ght. We’ll talk about that case next week. (Sources: Portland Morning Oregonian archives, June 15 & 20 and Oct. 13, 1907) Finn J.D.
