Mrs Mary Rogers
He C0NFERS WITH Fits
Tremendous Movement 10 Save
Mrs. Rogers Beginning TO
Have an Effect.
He C0NFERS WITH Fits

Growing in force and in organize d
effort with each new day, the determin-
ed fight now being made by the wo-
men OF the country to save Mrs Mary
Rogers from the scaffold continues
with undated vigor.
The most recent phase OF the fight
for Mary Rogerss life is the reliably
authenticated report that in his con-
ference with Attorney General Fits,
which is to be held in Brattleboro,
Governor Bell will discuss the posi-
bility of his granting a reprieve to
Mary Rogers, under the powers grant
ed him by the constitution.
Competent legal authorities differ as
to the power of the Chief Executive in
the Interpretation OF the statute cover
ing a reprieve. Should the Attorney
General decide that the Governor may
grant reprieve, the hanging OF the
woman may be postponed until the
next session of the Legislature, in 1906.
Inthe meantime State Representative
Frank f. Archibald, of Manchester,
who was chief counsel for Mary Rogers
in her trial, is preparing petition to
the Supreme Court, setting forth rea
sons why the woman should receive a
new trail. With the presentation of
this petition to two judges of the Su-
preme Court a stay OF execution could
be granted until the petition was pass
ed upon.
Preparations for the execution of
Mrs Rogers on February Sd are going
on, although thousands OF women in
all parts Of the country are endeavor-
ing to save her from death.
Sheriff Fl. IL. Peck, with three dep
uties, has visited the prison and thor
oughly looked over the ground with a
view to completing arrangements for
the hanging.
The tickets for admission to the ex-
ecution have been printed and are
about the size of visiting card.
Mrs Charles j. Bell, wife OF the Gov
ernor OF Vermont, has received tele.
gram from Mrs Devereux-Blake, presi-
dent of the National Legislative Lea
que, in which the latter urged Mrs Bell
to use her influence to secure clemency
for Mary Rogers.
Mrs Bellhas become deeply impress
ed by the widespread movement for
the saving of Mrs Rogers's life, and it
is believed that her moral influence is
being used to prevent the hanging.

CIRCULATED TODAY
Miss Susie Rogers and Miss Eta
Streeter Are Circulating
the Paper.

A petition is being circulated here
asking Coy Bell to reprieve Mary NJ.
Rogers. This effort in her behalf is
the result of considerable feeling in
town to give the condemned woman an
opportunity to be examined as to her
sanity.
The paper is being circulated by
Miss Susie Rogers and Miss Eta
Streeter who are working for another
person whose name is withheld. 1t is
stated, however, that it is not Mrs
Blickensderfer who has made an APP
peal for the murderess.
The ladies are having little difficulty
in securing names to the document but
are somewhat hindered by lack of time
as they wish to forward it to Gov Bell
early next week.
In going about town there seems to
be change in the opinion OF many
people who until recently we're in favor

Editor Banner

Editor Banner
Your sensible editorial in
Monday evenings Banner on the last
Sunday law enacted at Montpelier as
also the explanations OF the law by
Others are leading people to think and
ask questions something after the fol-
lowing:
From what source does the state de.
rive its authority to enact laws for
the punishment of sin? Or to ordain
that it shall be misdemeanor or
crime punishable by fines, imprison-
ment, and as some high in authority
have advocated, capital punishment
for an act on Sunday which is not
only lawful but even commendable on
any other day of the week ? Why
does the state assume the right to
abridge in the least degree the natural
and unalienable rights of one of it's
citizens ? Surely such an assumption
of authority has no warrant in the
constitution of the state or general
government. On the contrary, religi-
Gus questions pertaining solely to the
relationship of the individual consci-
ence to the Creator, is expressly pro-
hibited.
1t is we'll that the Sunday law theory
should come before the public for con
sideration and ventilation, for there
are principles involved 10 the present
world wide agitation for Sunday laws
which, il rightly understood, would
soon be relegated by the people to the
dark ages when they originated.
All sorts of excuses are offered now,
as in times past, to make Sunday
laws appear righteous. But there is
no righteousness only in that which is
