There were a very lw people In. the supreme court room when Judge Connor read his priori, and the room van Intensely quiet.

For that reason tha verdict of that jury was 0""n. 'o an invo U Igation bv a writ of ti)ii":i3 corpus. .Thorofore.lt behooves the petitioners to show evi dence to the contrary. "I have considered this testimony us best I could," said Judge Connor "The question of their guilt or inno cence Is not to bo Inferred from my decision. Thnt would bo an Injustice to either the state or defendants." Judge Connor's Decision. The Judge then read the following , order:: In the Matter of D. S. Rowland and Lillian M. Rowland Habeas Cor ' pus. The writ of habeas corpus in this cause heretofore issued by Hon. Charles M. Cooke, judge of the supe rior court of the Fourth judicial dis trict, was, pursuant to an order duly made In tbq 'pause, returned before me at the supreme court room in Ral eigh on Monday, July 22, 1007, by J. H. Sears, rjsq., sheriff of Wake county, togethor with the bodies of the petitioners, D. S. Rowland and Lillian M. Rowland, It appearing from the said return, and certified copies of tho records of the superior court of Wake county thereto at tached, that the petitioners are in the custody of tho said sheriff by virtue of the order of Hon. Benjamin F. Long, judge presiding In the superior court of Wake county, based upon a true bill or indictment found and re turned by the grand Jury of said county at tho July term, 1907, charg ing the petitioners with the murder of Charles R Strange; it further ap pearing from an inspection of said return, and the records thereto at tached and made a part thereof, that the proceedings had in said court are in all respects regular, the petitioners by their counsel moved that thoy be permitted to enter Into bond with approved security In such sum as the court should deem proper, for their appearance at tho next term of the superior court of Wake county to an swer to said bill of indictment. Said motion was opposed by Hon. Armls tead Jones, the solicitor of the Sixth judicial district, and other counsel representing the respondent. There upon, I proceeded to hear testimony Introduced by tho petitioners and the respondent. Upon a careful consideration of the testimony) being of the opinion that the petitioners are not entitled to bo discharged upon giving bond as prayed, their motion Is denied. Tho sheriff of Wake county Is directed to remand the petitioners to tho com mon Jail of said county and there de tain them until they shall be dis charged according to law. The cost of this proceeding will be taxed by the clerk of the superior court of Wake county and abide the final result of the action. I find that the witnesses under subpoena and examined by petitioners were neces sary.

It was agreed by hoth counsel for the state and defense this morning that there should be no further argu ment in the case: whereupon Judge Connor adjourned the hearing until 12 o'clock, when, ho announced, lie would render his decl;-ion. At ten minutes of 12, however, rinding that counsel were present, the judge be gan preparing. to read his report, and at ten minutes nast 12 those in the court room knew that Dr. and Mrs. Rowland would not be granted hail Prisoners .Not In Court. Dr. and Mrs. ' Rowland wero not present today. For the last three days they had been in the court room, and the strain was telling on her. Although at. times Mrs. Rowland laughed and chatted. It was evident that the confinement, was trying on her nerve.i. The doctor, however, never appeared weary, hut always looked bright. The prisimers were present this morniiiK. however, and seouied very hopeful. They left tho supremo court building with smiles on their faces and Were laughing. A large number of people, both men and wo men, were on the outside and watched them as they passed out. When Defendants Were Arrested. Dr. Rowland was arrested .May 20 for the murder of his son, David Aus tin Rowland, nt Kittrell. Of that chargo he was found not guilty by magistrates sitting ut Henderson. Immediately after his acquittal ho was ro-arrested and lodged In Wako county jail for the alleged poisoning I of Engineer Charles It. Strango on April 6. The body of Strango was dlslntorrcd, tho stomach analyzed, but no poison was found. A coro ner's Jury recommended that hn and Mrs. Rowland bo held for tho murder of Strange. The grand jury ut the July term of cutirt returned a true hill against them, and the case was continued from that court until tho September term. Today euded the habeas cot pus hearing for release on ball Mrs. Rowland was arrested on June 17lh on the report of the coroner's jury, and she has since been confined In tho-.county jail. . Prisoner! to Heiiiiiiii Sepiirute. Mr. "'Hicks --"asked the court, today that, since the prisoners are man and wife to jillow tho prisoners to see each .other and Communicate at. slated times, provided they pay all turn-key fee. Solicitor Jones objected, saying tho sheriff has allowed Mrs. Rowland to walk out for.'cxerclso and Ihero was no objection to thai, fcinco there is a conspiracy charged. Mr. Jones thought II '.best that they be not al lowed to see each other. He had no objection to their taking exercise .sep arately. Colonel Argo did not thlnli his honor had jurisdiction in the mat ter, and Judge? Connor thought so too. Just., before arising Irom his chair he said: . Cenllemen. I lust, desire to be understood that I have said nothing. The sheriff was directed to receive his aiders from the county attorney, who can Inform him ot Judge Longs order for th? care of the prisoners. The AigiDiieiit ticgun. The examination of witnesses and tax books was conciuilett last evening shortly before j o'clock. Mr. T. T Hicks, counsel' for the petitioners then began the argument, before Judge Connor for bail for Dr. and Mrs. Rowland. After detailing the history of the case, beginning with the arrest, May 20. and ending with the habeas corpus proceedings today Mr. Hicks summed up the entire evi dence. There are no grounds for holding the defendants" without hail, he r gued, because there is no proof that tho defendants poisoned Strange. Ho cited instances of sudden death. Dr. Roystcr and Dr. Knox could not. say that Strange's death was similar to a death produced bv aconltlno poison Ol course Strange was not telling it that he had heart trouble, for he would have, lost his job. Mr. 'Hicks read extracts from Dlnckstono peril ncnt to tho question, and from other authorities. Public opinion, the talk of one thousnnd tongues, forced Mrs Strange to Marry Rowland so enrly after her husband s death, and the fact of this marringo excited the sus picion on which tao prosecution baser. itR charge.
