BCWDOiN'S VACATION.
Fall Term Closes and Students Leave
for Home.

Brunswick, Me, Dec. 22.-(SpeoiaD.-
Yesterday saw great part OF the
3owdoin student body start for their
homes, every train in each direction
bearing it's quota. Today still more
left, and, tonight, the campus has n
decidedly deserted appearance The
only men remaining are the Senior and
Freshman Greek students, who have
their final examinations, tomorrow
morning. These, too, will take their
departure Immediately after the
exams" and by sunset, tomorrow
night there will be scarcely college
man within the precincts of Brunswick
The winter term will open. Wedncs-
day, Jan. 5. and from now till then the
men will take a well-earned rest from
the labOrs of the term and to prepare
for those of the winter.
With the coming of the winter term
Will come the Needless" adding a good
ly number of men to BoWdoin's stu
dents. Though in the years ago the So
students were not looked upon by the
academic men as very closely allied to
the college, there has been in the past
few years a growing tendency to do So
1t is felt that the medical students are
a real part Of the college, and that they
should be so regarded. The opening Of
the Medical school in November after
this year, thus lengthening the college
year will doubtless serve to intensity
this feeling.
a large part of the athletic interest
this winter will center in the b. A. A.
meet in which Bowdoin will take part as
usual. The meet will be held in February
which will give the team about a
months practice. Bowdoin's re.ay
team, this year, should be Il strong one
But two old men are lost and there
seems to be plenty OF material to fill
these places, with good men. Perhaps
the most promising candidate for the
relay team is Kinsman, the freshman
who distinguished himself in football
this fall. There are also several other
new men who will doubtless give q
good account of themselves
Baseball work in the cage will also
start in with the opening of the winter
term and a big squad Of candidates is
assured. The schedule of games will
doubtless be given out at the beginning
of the term. This would have been
done before this time. had there not
been several delays. One of the prob
lens in this connection is the matter
of reviewing athletic relations with
Tufts. Contests between the two col
leges have been suspended for several
years. 1t seems pretty certain, how
ever, that relations in baseball, at least,
will be renewed and that Bowdoin and
Tufts will meet on the diamond, next
spring.

capped.

VERDICT OF GUILTY
Found Against Mrs. Rogers by
Jury at Bennington.
Convicted Of Murder Of Husband
Under Atrocious circumstances.
The Trembling Prisoner Nerves Her.
self to Face Verdict.

Bennington, VT, Dec. "A verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree was
returned, Tuesday, against Mary A.
Rogers in the Bennington county court
and before the present term of court
finally adjourns, she will be sentenced
to death by hanging.
The scene in the little court room
when the jury with appraised hands,
faced the trembling prisoner in the dock
and nodded assent to the verdict spok-
en- by the foreman, was a dramatic eli
max to trial rich in sensational Incl
dents.
AS she arose at word of command
from the clerk to hear the words that
meant her life or death, Mrs. Rogers
face blanched almost to marble white
ness, her limbs trembled so violently
that she supported herself with diff :
Guilty and it was only by supreme effort
she controlled her feelings. When the
verdict was announced she buried her
face in her handkerchief and sank back
in the cage sobbing violently, to be led
away moment later to her cell in the
county Jail.
The proceedings in court, Tuesday,
occupied hardly 10 minutes, further
proceedings in the case being deferred
to next Tuesday. 1t is expected at that
time some move will be made by the
defendants counsel, looking to a new
trial. AS 20 days is allowed under the
law for the filing of exceptions, how
ever it is possible that no formal step
will be taken, Tuesday.
Even if nothing whatever is done to
prevent the carrying out of the sem
tence OF death which will be passed
upon Mrs. Rogers during the present
term of court, under the Vermont law
that sentence cannot be carried into
execution before 1905. In this state
the power of committing the sentence
of death rests with the Legislature in
stead of the governor and the law pro-
vides that a session of the Legislature
tence OF death is passed and it's eXecu-
ton. If the Legislature, which will
meet about year hence, refuses to
commute Mrs. Rogers sentence, the
execution will be the first in this state
in more than a dozen years. The last
execution took place in 1891, when Syl-
vester Bell of Fairfax, was hanged for
the murder of his wife.
The cases of Leon Perham, the con-
fessed accomplice of Mrs. Rogers in the
murder. and of Stella Bates, who is
charged with completely in the crime
will be taken up late in the term. 1t is
not expected that protracted trials will
result in either case.
