This Insures Or chard an easy life in the state peni tentiary of Idaho. Orchard was in conference with Detective McPartland. and Prosecu tors Hawley aud Borah in Hawley's office' last ; night.

Talk of Habeas "Coii lags Counsel Refuses- to "Allow Visitors to See Prisoners Case to "Go 6efore July Coin.' The Jury which heard the testi mony of witnesses yesterday concern ing the doath ot the late Engineer Charles R. Strange, last night ren dered its verdict, recommending that both Dr. D. a. Rowland and Mrs. Rowland be held for the action of the grand Jury at the next session of Wake superior court, beginning July 8. Tiie coroner's Jury did not charge anyone with having caused the death of Strange, but gave their opinion that the deceased came to his death by some unknown cause. The result of the inquest was not an entire surprise to many who have taken an interest in this most extra ordinary case, although the opinion that evidence sufficient to convict the Rowlands of murder will be difficult to obtain. Mrs. Rowland's statement that she did not know Dr. Rowland until the day of her husband's death, has been strongly contradicted by the evidence,' showing, that she has had. intimate relations .with Dr. Row land 'since 'last Christmas, : j. , The outcome of the case will be awaited -anxiously, and will show that the persons now held: In Jail are either the vlotlme- most" unfortu nate circumstances, or are guilty of one of the most awful.cold-biooded crimes, known In North Carolina. Whether or not Rowland .desired to get Strange out of the way, so that his attentions, to the pretty wife of the engineer might not be interfered with, remains to be Bhown. The fact that Dr. Syme did not find any. poison "in Stcange's stomach, death having neen caused hy "poison, as there are circumstances where fatal poisons cannot be detected In a cnemicai analysis or tne stomach. Witnesses told of seeing Dr. Rowland make , a, hypodermic Injection into Strange' a arm on the morning of his death, and of Mrs. Si range's refusaf to allow Dr. itowland a Short time afterwards, to Insert anything Into her own arm. .There 1 ? supposition that she f oared Dr. Rowland at the time of her busband's-death. There was. some tilk about the Streets 'this 'morning concerning the probability of an application from the RoVlahd counsel for a wrif of habeas corpus for. release pn b6nd, although no action has ' yet been taken: along that line, y Both Dr. Rowland and his wife, the widow of the late C. gtrahge, ai'e'fely locked In Jail, where they will remain until court opens in July. : N9 visitors are permittee- to see them. - . , .

"We prefer, an early disposition of the case finally,'.' said Mr. Holding,,, "and y bolleve we can got that by an acquittal at the July term of court.
