VERMONT WOMAN TO HANG.
Legislature of the State Refuses Mercy
to Mrs. Mary Rogers.


to Mrs. Mary Rogers.
No one can see Mrs. Mary Rogers, the
Vermont woman, condemned to death by
hanging Feb. g.. She is in her solitary
cell in the State prison at Windsor and
has been since Nov. 1. Mrs. Rogers has
not suffered mentally to such degree that
it has undermined her health or aged her
looks. On the contrary, from the freely
expressed opinions of the members of the
Legislative Committee which journeyed
from Montpelier to Windsor to make the
biennial inspection of the institution, she
is doing little worrying.
The members saw her on their rounds
Of the prison, and the remark made by
one of them later on that she "looked
fine" was concurred in by the others.
Other information trickling out from the
guards who have had charge of her de-
notes that her mental attitude toward
the terrible nature of her crime or her
present situation is of a light-minded ma
ture.
She expects that the Governor will
order a stay of proceedings, which will
throw the mus of her execution upon
another Legislature, two years hence,
when her chances are again good for hav-
ing her sentence committed to life i'm
prisonment.
She does not fret under the prison dis
cipline, and indeed, now she is in soil
tary confinement, the hours of rising and
compulsory work are not as rigid as
when she formed in line and went forth
to daily labor about the institution. The
matron gives her such occupation as can
be taken up in her cell, and sees to her
meals and other requirements. She can
see any of the town clergymen she
chooses, but up to now Chaplain Fuller
of the prison has been her spiritual
adviser.
The gallows to be used is the same
used twenty-five years ago, when the
last murderer to be hanged in the State
was dealt with. The machine was then
taken to pieces and put away. 1t is not
because there has been no murder lone
in Vermont for twenty-five years that
it has not been used. Murders have been
rather frequent, but the power of the
Legislature TO m sentence or to
approve of sending to the asylum for the
insane has been worked to the utmost,
and there are at present three murderers
under committed sentence in the State
prison and a couple in the hospital for
the insane.

Chicago Grieves for Theater Dead on
Anniversary of Disaster.

Anniversary of Disaster.
The memory of the Jroquois theater
fire laid its shadow ON Chicago Friday,
that being the first anniversary of the
disaster. In Willard Hall gathered rela-
tiyes of victims, members of the Iroquois
Memorial Association. which proposes to
erect an emergency hospital, and surviv-
ors of the fire and panic itself. There
were men whose hair has withered in
the last twelve months of suffering;
women in whose faces burrows were i'm
planted by the horror of a year ago;
children on whom the loss of brother or
sister had laid a lifelong sadness.
Fire in the %Iroquois theater, in which,
according to the coroner's records, 5I5
persons were killed. broke out at 1888
p. m. Dec. 30, 1903. The holiday audi
ence was composed chiefly of women and
children. In the latter part of the sec
ond act, as the octet of the "Mr. Blue
beard company was singing in the
Pale Moonlight" a part of the hanging
scenery caught fire, supposedly from an
unprotected light. With the opening of
a stage door to permit the actors to es-
cape a tremendous draft poured into the
theater. 1t carried with it into the face
of the audience a vast sheet of fame.

feet and started to rush out. The upper
exits were choked with the bodies of
struggling victims. Many of the exits
were found closed and bolted. Nearly
all the people on the main floor managed
to force their way out. About seventy
five on this floor lost their lives. OF
those on the first balcony about o per-
ished and of those who were in the gal
lery about 300 were killed. Most of
these victims were supposed to a died
from suffocation. Several of the doors
in the foyer were found locked.
After sitting for about two weeks a
c%oroner's jury returned its verdict as to
responsibility in the loss of so many
lives. The jury's verdict recommended
that the following be held to the grand
jury: Mayor Harrison, Fire Marshal
