Rowland found not guilty on the first
ballot yesterday. following the disa-
greement OF the jury in the Oliver c.

somewhat discouraged in trying to
convict the alleged conspirato-s in the

time to arrive at conclusion. The
members received the case shortly af-
ter 3 o'clock, discussed it for a while
and then took ballot and came back
with the verdict CT not guilty at 8
O'Clock. Conflicting statements of many
of the important witnesses OF the state

For he can meet them all half way,
And they'll flock to him on that day.
And everybody here'll see Cunlmins,
