He was reported resting today.
 Cowens trial lasted three days. Both Cowcn and Mrs. Clark denied that any improper relations had OK isted between them, and Cowen presented an alibi which the state failed to break down. His story of his movements on the night Clark was struck down in his garage was corroborated by two states Wit | nesSes.
 In charging the jury. Justice kaliseh said that it was his per sonal conviction that "thc relations between the defendant and Mrs Clark were illicit"
 "However". he continued. "whic the defendant may be guilty ot moral turpitude, you arc not trying him on that charge"
 Throughout the trial Cowcn was unstrung, and when he testified hC broke down and sobbed. When tho jury returned after being out al hour and 19 minutes, his jaws ant knees trembled and his face grew gray as he waited for the verdict AS he heard it he slumped on hi! knees crying and whimpering;
 Thank Cod! Now they'll believe me. Now thcy'll believe me. Le me go, don't want to see an. more people,"
