MRS. ROGERS
CASE ENDED
Arguments Concluded
Today.
N0DEFENCE WASENTERED
Respondents Attorneys Claim Stats
Evidence Is insufficient to
Convict.

4 Bennington, Dec Relying upon the
ability Of her council TO convince the jury
Of her Innocence, Mrs. Mary H. Rogers,
who Cor nearly two weeks has been on
! trial in the Bennington county court
on a charge of numbering her hus.
band, Saturday consented to submit the
case to the jury without making any de-
! fence
It had been the intention Of counsel
for the defense to put number of wit
nesses on the stand in an attempt to offset
evidence introduced by the state, but at
the opening Of court Saturday it was an
nounced that this plan had been aban-
doned.
Arguments for the state and the de.
fence were then made by States Attorney
Stakeholder and Daniel A. Guiltman, re-
spectively, before court adjourned Satur-
day, The concluding arguments were
made by associate counsel this forenoon
and the case will 60 to the jury before
court adiourns today.
la summing up for the prosecution,
States Attorney Stakeholder laid particu-
lar stress upon the testimony of Levi Per
ham, the confessed accompliee Of Mrs.
Rogers Ia the alleged murder of her hus-
band. His story, said the states attor-
ney, was without doubt an accurate ac-
count OF the facts.
He argued that Mrs. Rogers was the
only person who could have proitted BY
Rogers death. Her guilty love for Nor
ris Knapp ana her desire to obtain the in
surance on her husbands life, he said,
was sufficient motive for the crime.
During the entire argument, which oc-
eupied more than an hour and half, Mrs
Rogers sat with her face buried In her
hands, sobbing eonvulsively.
Mr.. Guiltman said the defence had de-
clded to rest ID the case on the evidence OF
the prosecution, because the latter by its
own witness had dlsoredIted all the i'm
portant points alleged against the pris-
oner.
The relations which had existed be-
tween MIR. and Mrs. Rogers, be said. were
as pleasant as those between the majority |
of married people, and all testimony to |
the contrary, be claimed, was inspired BY |
a desire to have the respondent found |
guilty Of the crime with which she is
charged

truth and people like him. Indeed those
inclined to eriticse evangelists have been
rather at loss for something to say.
Mr. Davidson is utterly free from the
coarse, lurid emotionalism traditionally
associated with men Of bis profession. He
never harrows the feelings, never deals 10
grewsome death-bed descriptions, never
plays upon the memory OF sorrow and be-
.reayement That was a fine touch Of SAN
ity when in advertising the childrenis S
meeting, he said, You fathers and moth
ers need not be afraid to send your chill
dTen | shall not play upon their fears
nor seek to crowd into them hasty profess
slons, nor send them home crying The
whole service will be bright and happy,
as a service for children ought to be-
His style is worth noting. frank, ear
nest, direct, incisive, persuasive, are per-
haps the words that best describe It. His
English consists largely Of simple Saxon
words. His sentences are clear as crystal
He is humorous but never frivolous, ten
der but never fearful, satirieal but never
stinging, truthful but always kind and
just.
A year ago last winter Mr.. Davidson
was In Brattleboro, and the 'iRef0rmer''
had this to say of him, "The evangelist's
delivery is quiet, and his methods the
farther removed from sensationalism He
has announced that his appeal will be to
reason and common sense, more than to
the emotions that there win be no
crowding or embarrassment for those
who attend the services, and that
he shall not try to make them do
what they do not want to do, but rather
TO make them want TO do the right thing.
His simple and direct ways have won the
confidence Of those who have heard him,
and heis already making his way into the
affections Of the people He Is striking
the right note in the right way and has
gotten hold or his audiences. Those
who do not hear him are missing some
thing And such Is the nvariabIe testi-
mony Of impartial judges wherever he has
been.
The people OF Barre are cordially in
vited and earnestly urged to give hear
ing, IN the spirit Of frankness and candor,
to the claims Of religion as set forth BY
this gracious man Of God.

The Evangelist who il Coming to Barre

The Rev. f. T. Davidson Of Newton

meetings in this city next Sunday under
the auspices Of the Baptist, Methodist
and Congregational churches, is no ordlna-
ry man. lis individuality is marked.
His ability is exceptional. His success
has been conspicuous. As an evangelist
he belongs ia the class Of d. l.. Moody
and G.. Campbell Morgan. His work has
been done with the most substantial
churches Of the country. Aud were it
not that he is naturally quiet man, Of
the kind who shun notoriety, his reputa-
tion would be national.
The following quotations viii indicate
the impression he has made in the COM
munities where he has laboTed The first
is from an editorial In the Watertown
(Mass.) Enterprise:
Rev. Edgar e. Davidson has surprised
everybody by his unusual methods. He
does not say or do what one would expect
him 70 say or do. But his surprises are in
the direction Of qaietness and gentleness
and not in the line of sensationalism or
emotionalism. His sermons have been
marked by great plainness and directness

TESTIMONY ALL In
In GARETTO'S DEFENCE
County Court Rsconvened This After
noon at D O'clock After Re
cess Over Sunday.

Montpelier, Dec 21.-After a recess
from Saturday forenoon at IL o'clock to
this afternoon at o'clock, the defense III
the trial Of the case Of State vs. Garetto,
charged with the murder Of Eli Corti In
Barre on Oct 3, was resumed with the ex-
animation of witnesses. 1t Is probable
that the defense. will conclude its testi-
mony either this afternoon or tomorrow
forenoon; then few witnesses will eput
on in Tebuttal, and Judge Stafford will
give his charge to the jury.
The defense is going 70 put Joseph Ber-
nasconi on. He was unable to appear 10
court Saturday because Of a recent opera
tion for an abscess, but his physician says
he can come. Bernaseoni is the Socialist
about whom so much has been said on
both sides during the trial. It is claimed
that he is the man with whom the anar-
chists first began to pick row ON the
night Corti was shot.
The defense rested at $50 this after
noon. A few witnesses were put on, in-
Guiding Bernasconi, but nothing important
WIS brought out.
