CowLEs CHARGED WITH KILLING His
WIFE,

= Our New Haven correspondent, last
week wrote of the death of Mrs. Cowles,
wife of S. b. Cowles, banker in Nebras-
ka and son of Mr.. Josiah Cowles of
New Haven. The suppostion was that
she had been killed by burglars. A
further chapter of the story is told by
press dispatch printed in the papers of
Tuesday. 1t is dated Clarks, Neb., Feb.
lG, and reads as follows:
S. b. Cowes, an old citizen and banker,
was arrested to-day, as he was leaving the
city, for the murder of his wife on Febru-
airy 4. She was found choked to death
and the banker was lying near her body
with wound in his head. He said a
burglar knocked him down and killed
Mrs. Cowles. Some money was also
missing, but later it was found hid in the
house. The crime is said to have been
committed for $4,000 insurance on Mrs.
Cowles' life. The people are divided in
belief as to his guilt. A preliminary
examination was waived and the trial
will occur Thursday.
Cowles asserts that he was aroused
from sleep about o'clock on the morn
ing of the murder, and as he sprang up a
masked burglar struck him with large
revolver. 1t was only noticed that he
was quite bloody when first seen, and
not until two days later, when suspicion
was directed toward him by detectives,
was the wound on his head examined.
Then it was found to be so slight that
physicians expressed doubt that the
blood on the person of the banker at the
time could have followed from the cuts.
Cowles has retained four or five lawyers
and expresses confidence that he will be
vindicated.
While there is every evidence that the
banker is in no need of money, it is init
mated that developments will show that
the $1,000 for which his wifes life was
insured is quite badly needed to tide over
the strngency existing. Cowles explains
that the insurance was placed ten years
ago. a swarm of detectives from Chi
cago, Omaha ana Denver have been in
the city at work on the case since the
crime, attracted by the $4,000 reward
offered by Cowles for the apprehension
of his wife's murderer. The complaint
was filed by Robert Gregg, ex-sheriff OF
Saunders county.
