4 SENSATIONAL
MURDER CASE
WILL CONE UP FOR TRIAL IN
RALEI0H. N. G.
DOCTOR ROWLAND ACCUSED
OF Having Killed First Husband OF
Bride By Giving Him Poison--A
Most Remarkable Chain Of Circun-
stances Developed.

Raleigh. Y. Cone Of the most re-
markable and sensational cases OF al
legged murder that has stirred TINS sec
ton in a generation will be called for
trial-that of DIR. David 5. Rowland
a leading physician with a large prar-
tice in this city, and his beautiful
widow-bride. formerly Mrs. Lillian
Strange Of Omaha, Neb. The two are
charged with having murdered the
woman's first husband, Charles Il.
Strange. in this city last April by
poison or other foul means.
Suspicion against the accused was
first aroused by the fact that Dr. Row
land and the widow were marnsd
within six weeks after the sudden
death Of Strange, whom DR. Rowland
attended in his last illness. At the
coroner's investigation the proseeu-
ton was dependent almost entirely
on circumstantial evidence. But
chain strong enough to bring about
the lntltlDtll Vi bvtH Va - "A~'
charge was soon forged.
If the accused pair are entirely Ia
nocent Of the death Of the woman 5
husband they are both the victims OF
a most remarkable chain of appear
ances and developments. If the cir
cumstantial evidence adduced as tho
preliminary hearing is true 1t had
been a guilty love between DR.. Row.
land and Mrs. Strange for some. time
before the death Of the woman hus-
band. On the other hand, the attor-
news for the accused declare that
the appearances are deceitful. They
declare that the early marriage of the
doctor and the widow, which the pros
ecution holds AS the most suspicious
act in the chain of circumstantial ev-
idence was in reality the act of man
disposed to do the honorable thing 10
protect the good name Of an inno-
cent woman.
Charles X. Strange, the alleged viz
tim Of the pair, was locomotive en-
eineer and the Brotherhood Of Loco.
motive Engineers, of which he was a
rember, has hired council to assist
in the prosecution of DR.. Rowland
and his bride.
