story u the Woman,s crime.

The crime for which Mrs. Mary
Mabel Rogers was sentenced to death
was the murder of her husband, Mar
Gus Rogers, at Bennington, Aug. 10,
1902. At the time the crime was COM
mitted Mrs. Rogers was only 10 years
old. She had been separated from her
husband for some time and was desir-
GUS Of marrying young man named
Maurice Knapp. On the day of the
murder Marcus Rogers went to Ben
nington to visit his wife, and that
night she arranged to meet him In
the woods near the Walloomsac river.
While caressing him she induced him
to allow her to bind his hands, and
while he was powerless she chloro-
formed him. In this she was aided by
Leon Perham, half-witted boy, who
was the son Of the woman with whom
she boarded. Another woman, Estella
Bates, was present.
After chloroforming Rogers, Perham
and Mrs. Rogers rolled the body into
the river, where 1t was found the next
day. In order to divert suspicion the
woman wrote a note, to which she
signed her husbands name, giving
the impression that he had committed
suicide.
Immediately after the murder Mrs.
Rogers endeavored to collect her hus-
bands life insurance, amounting to
$500, and also made arrangements to-
purchase furniture for the house where
she expected to live when she had
married Knapp.
A few days after the murder Mrs.
Rogers, Perham and the Bates woman
were arrested. Perham made a COM
plete confession and both he and Mrs
Rogers were found guilty of MURDER

HATCH|NG PERCH
ON A BIG SCALE
Plans of Commission to
Stock the Potomac.
HOW THE SPAWN is HANDLED
This Toothsome Fish Is Now Being
Rapidly Exterminated-Hope
to Increase Catch.

Work has begun at the station of the
Bureau of Fisheries of the Department
Of Commerce and Labor, at Bryans
point, to replenish the fast-disappearing
yellow perch IN the Potomac. Fifty
million young fish Will be placed In the
historic stream, with the hope that IN a
few years the supply will be equal to
what it was in former years before the
lax laws allowed them TO be destroyed
While spawning. Extra men were sent
down to the point today. and from now
on eggs are to be gathered and hatched
rapidly.
1t is the purpose to double the num-
river is well stocked 1t was announced
there are 5000 spawn fish already on
hand at the station, and that more are
being obtained daily from the fishermen
Caught in Nets.
The majority of the fish for breeding
purposes are caught in nets in Occoquan
bay, from where they are taken to
Bryan's point in 'live" boxes. Three
days ago 200 Of these fish were moved
at one time, with no loss.
The yellow perch, which has been eS-
ieemed for his general toothsomeness
as pan fish from the time Chief Pow
haitian and Capt. John Smith, is one OF
The earliest to spawn, which has had
much to do with his practical extinction.
The fish is the first to appear in the
spring, boats on the Potomac being piled
with them long before the shad and
herring make their appearance.
The First to Appear.
Coming first they have in the past
been eaten in vast numbers, from Wash
ington to the Virginia capes. 1t is said
that at one time they were SO thick
in the Potomac as to be nuisance
But the fish did not seem to multiply
Whole lay may De Spent on the Potomac

being caught.
The yellow perch deposits its eggs
differently from any other part of the
population Of the water. The eggs are
laid III long zigzag strings, resembling
the bellows OF an accordian. One fish
weighing twenty-four ounces, laid
string eighty-cnes inches long and
weighing after it had become water

These strings are gathered by the en-
rloyes at Bryan's point. placed in
