UNWRITTEN Law
One to Which Gardener Must Answen
In Maryland.


Laplata, Md, July 12.-It took tha
jury In the Bowie murder trial to-day
but five minutes to decide that In
Southern Maryland, at least, the ..un-
written law" is the law to which the
seducer must hold himself answerable.
And while there was no marked DEM
onstration when the verdict becama
known, there was sufficient evidences
that the verdict Of the jury was the
verdict Of the people Of this section
Of the country.
Both jury and people aequit Mrss
Mary E. Bowie and her son Harry, oa
all blame for their acknowledged slay-
ing last January of Hubert Posey, the
seducer of their daughter and sister,
Priscilla Bowie, who with her father-
less child has made a most pathetic
picture in the court room during the
progress Of the trial. That there was
no demonstration was wdoubtless due
to the fact that the verdict of the jury
was announced to the judges while
they were at dinner during a recessy
Just prior to the taking Of which the
jury had retired.
