Show Congressman Bowes. When this member of Congress was charged with the first bigamy case, in which he was virtually found guilty, somebody a-ked the Washington Star how hs stood on the Cullom anti-polygamy bill; and the Star replied he was all ritrht on that question, having voted in favor of parsing it. We remarked, on the Start reply, tl a; just such a man as he was represented to be would be sure to take Cullom' s side of the subject, tut wi had no idea then that Bowen would turn up so black an ace as he has. Another An-other charge of bigamy has been pre--jrred against him, making two women deceived with hia pretentions of being an unmarried man. He is also charged with attempted subornation of witnesses wit-nesses to commit perjury, that he might prove his wife a woman as infamous in-famous as himself. And last, to cap the climax, be is accused of murder during the time he was a colonel in the Confederate service; which he once was, though he is now a prominent South Carolina radical. Honors are gathering thick and heavy on Bowen. Of course he is sound on the anti-polygamy anti-polygamy bill. He would also sustain all the recent judicial dcci.-ion.i jjiven here. |
