Fesugation or the most remarkable and
sensational murder case that has come IN
lor tflaI IN this section in a generation
that OF DR.. David s. Rowland. a LEADING
physician with large practice in this city,
and his beautiful widow bride. formerly
Mrs. Lillian Strange OF Omaha, Neb.
where she married her first husband ton
years ago. Locomotive Engineer Charles r.
Strange. the man whom the two prisoners
are accused Of having murdered In this city
last April by poison or other foul means.
the doctor and the newly made widow hay-
ing married six weeks after the sudden
death OF Strange. whom DR. Rowland at
tended in his last moments
Al the coroners investigation the prosecu-
ton was dependent almost entirely on cir
cumstantal evidence. But chain strong
enough to warrant the commitment of both
TO jail without bond was soon forged
II DR.. and the present Mrs. Rowland are
entirely innocent of the death OF the former
husband of the remarkable and handsome
and Intellectual woman in the case they ara
both the victims of most remarkable
chain OF appearances and developments.
Yet. while this chain was sufficient to hold
them. II Is believed the state will have a
difficult task when 1t shall ask a Jury to
hang them on such evidence.
Because of this latter fact the prosecuting
solicitor for the state and the strong array
of lawyers employed to assist in the prose-
cution by the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers and others are today delving in
the grand jury room trying to discover and
secure additional evidence upon which to
convict the prisoners.
Remarkable Woman in the Case.
Mrs. Lillian Stranger Rowland Is a woman
Of both handsome and intellectual counte-
nance. She has a strong and striking face
and a handsome figure. She Is about thirty
years Old and had been married to Engineer
Strange for ten years. but the couple had
no children. One of her lawyers said to me
today: She Is the bravest woman I ever
knew" She and DR.. Rowland are devoted
to each other, and It is apparently a case
OF mutual attraction and admiration and
love- II the circumstantial evidence ad-
duced at the coroners investigation is true
it had been guilty love for several months
before their marriage two months ago. both
while the former husband lived for some
weeks. possibly longer, and after his death.
while Mrs. Strange was wearing the first OF
the widows weeds" which yet constitute
her wardrobe In public at least.
On the other hand, 1t is claimed that the
appearances were deceitful Lawyer J. n.
Holding, one of Mrs. Rowlands attorneys.
stated to ne today that the early marriage
of the doctor and the widow. which tho
prosecution holds as the most suspicious
act in the chain OF circumstantial evidence,
was in reality the act OF a man disposed to
do the honorable thing TO protect the good
name of an innocent woman.

Albany, N. Y: Albert I, Patrick

day from the death chair, in the shad-
ow OF which he has stood for nearly
Ave years, He was convicted March
10, 1902, OF the murder Of William
Marsh Rice, an aged New York mil
lionaire, formerly of Houston. In a
brief memorandum. laying stress upon
the dissenting opinions Of the judges
of the court of appeals, which affirmed
Patrick's conviction by vote of four
to three, the governor announced he
had commuted the death sentence. In
the memorandum Governor Higgins
calls attention to the fact that II is
not claimed that Patrick committed the
murder himself, but he caused the act
to be done, and that he had been CON
victed principally on the Testimony of
Charles F. Jones, Rice's valet, who,
by his testimony that he murdered his
master while his master was asleep, at
Patricks instigatlon, purchased I'M
munity from punishment
The governor strongly intlmated q
doubt of Patrick's sanity. He was
shown a dispatch In which 1t was as
serted that Patrick denied having sent
the governor any appeal for clemency
and would refuse to accept the com
mutation and insist upon his right to
die"

Tho American Adder,

A full-grown adder may measure
two feet in length and about six inches
around the thickest part of its body.
It's movements are sluggish, and Of
course the universal idea prevailing
among the natives Of this country that
It is capable Of transferring It's head
from one extremity TO the other once
every six months is due simply to SUI
perstition. The fact is that the tan Of
this snake does not terminate In a
point as with ophidians generally. but
is stumpy and resembles the head so
much that It Is difficult for an OBJ
server situated at distance OF q few
yards TO distinguish the one from tho
other, hence the story OF its being two
headed, the fallacy Of which no Intelll-
gent observer could fail to detect.
