THE KILLING OF BOWMAN.
Unique Verdict OF tho Coroner's Jury-His
Life Always in Danger.

Unique Verdict OF tho COroner's Jury-His
Life Always in Danger.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22-Interest in the
Chambers Bowman tragedy to-day cen-
tered in the action of the coroner's jury at
Clayton. the county seat of St. Louis
county. After hearing the evidence. which
was substantially reiteration of the
story of the killing as sent out in these
dispatches yesterday, the jury rendered
the following unique verdict: Frank j.
felonious shooting" No reference was
made to who did the shooting. The testi-
mony went to show that just prior to the
firing of the fatal shot by Chambers. Bow
man reached for the pocket where he
usually carried a pistol. No pistol was
found in the pocket, but after death Bow
mans right hand was still in the pocket.
and 1T is claimed by the friends of Cham
bers that the pistol may have dropped out
on the way to Clayton. Chambers will have
preliminary examination tomorrow.
That Bowman's life was considered in
constant peril Is shown by the fact that
two years ago he applied at the st. Louis
agency of the New York Mutual Life In
surance Company for S25. 900 policy on the
ten year endowment plan. Bowman passed
the requisite medical examination, and the
the application reached the New York Office
it was refused, on the ground that while
the physical risk was good the moral haz-
ard" was too great. 1t was, IN short feared
that with all his quarrelsand embroilments
with both men and women somebody would
kill him.
His COmmon-Law Widows Luck.
CHICAGO. Oct 22.-The tragic death of
Col. Frank j. Bowman at the hands of his
old enemy. Chambers. in st. Louis, yester-
day. was the subject of general discussion
in the courthouse to-day. Colonel Bow
man, through the sensational divorce case
in which he was the principal. became
almost as familiar to members of the Chi
cago bar as to those of st. Louis. and the
long trial exposed his professional and pri-
vate record to such an extent that his vio-
lent death was matter of little surprise.
The death of one of the principals in the
case OF Bowman versus Bowman leaves the
Bowman case III peculiar way. 1t was
the first and only case In this country where
a commOn-law wife was held to be entitled
quently been declared to be widows, but
never before has one been decided to be en-
titled to a divorce. AS it turns out, Mrs.
Bowman Is better Off as BOwnau'S widow
than as his divorced wife. Theodore G.

sented Mrs. Bowman throughout her liti-
cation, said this morning "The death of
Mr.. Bowman is little short of an interposi-
tiOn of Providence, because it gives Mrs.
Bowman and her two children all of Bow
mans property wherever found. His first

HBoNLY WANTED TO BRIGHTEN HER.
He Harged Himself In His Endeavors
to Get His Wife's Money,

WATERFOWL, N. Y, May 81 1t seems
probable that Cornelius Donnelly, of this
city, who was found by his wife yesterday
afternoon with rope around his neck and
in the last struggles of strangulation, did
not intend to kill himself and only wanted
to brighten Mrs. Donnelly, to whom he
had been married only about four months,
into giving him possession OF her property,
amounting to about $4,000. On Thurs.
day he took up his razor and told her he
would cut his throat, but was easly'per-
suaded not to do so, and OH Friday after
noon he pretended to try to hang himself
In the manner in which he finally ended
his life. This second attempt was ap-
parently frustrated by his wife. Yester.
day nc tried 1t again, but his wife, believ-
ing him to be feigning, was not so prompt
in rescuing him, aud when she did arrive
he was past saving. He took clothesline,
put moose about his neck and throwing
the line over some clothes hooks on the
wall, he leaned forward, holding the
other end OF the rope in his hands, will a
looking-glass leaned against the window
opposite, so that he might see the pro-
gress OF events. He was handsome fell
low, had good trade and his wife was
dutiiu in everything except the giving up
OF her wealth. About 500 was found in
his pockets.
