SINGULAR VERDICT The verdict OF tie
Jury in Bowler's case, ia Rich non1, is very sur.
prising Chas. II. Rogers was found near
Richmond dead with two bullet holes in the
back of his head. His uerson was robbed CT a
considerable amount OF money, &c, he vas
known to have about him. Bowler was the
last person seen with the deceased and be- H.
medlately..fad There are other circumstances
going 10 show BoWIer's connection with tie
crime. However, the jury brought him in
guilty of murder in the second degree and fixed
his sentenc, at nine years 10 the panitaptiary.
This is very remarkable. Bowler either Killed
Rogers or be did not xiii him, In the first
case he certainly committed the iou'est Of mu:-
dcr+; if be did not kill him then the verde;
should have teen mot guilty.
