SECOND JURY ALSO D1sAeREEs.
Charles T.. Fowler VIII Have to Have
Another Trial.

Another Trial
The second trial OF Charles F. Fowler
who is charged with attempting to kill
Policeman Henry C. cambridge on the
night of January 1S last, which ended last
evening again resulted in the jury failing
to agree on verdict. The hearing was
begun in Criminal Court No. yesterday
before Justice Bradley and the case was
given to the jury for deliberation al 3
p. m, and it retired TO the consultation
room.
As 1t was generally admitted by those
who heard the testimony that the Govern
ment made out a much stronger case than
at the first trial of Fowler, the result was
somewhat of a surprise. This. however,
was greatly increased, when ii was learned
that the jury. when polled on the hnal
vote before entering the court, stood eleven
for acquittal and one for conviction AS
an illustration Of how differently testi-
mony is viewed by different persons. IL
may be stated in this connection that at
the former trial of Fowler for the same
offence and with practically the same tes-
timony to consider the jury. 1t is said on
the very best of authority, stood eleven
for conviction and one for acquittal.
According to the testimony adduced by
the Government. on the night OF January
13 last Fowler and some friends boarded
a westbound car OF the Capital Traction
Company in East Washington with the in
tention Of going to the northwestern sec
ton of the city. 1t was stated that the
party was in such excellent spirits that the
members became noisy to such degree as
to necessitate the conductor in charge oil
the car to request them to keep quiet
Fowler and his friends became offended at
the remarks of the conductor and refused
TO be quiet BY this time the car was roll
ing down Capitol Hill, and seeing that
Fowler and his friends were intent upon
creating trouble the conductor called upon

ordered them to do so.
The car was stopped in order that one
of the party might regain possession of
his hat, which had been blown off his heal.
Fowler stepped off the car to wait for his
friend to return. AT this point the testi-
mony for the Government and the defence
is very contradictory The witnesses for
the former testify that without any war
rant or provocation Fowler deliberate y
drew a revolver from his pocket and firei
point blank at cambridge while the W.T.
