ONLY HOPE NOW CAN COME FROM
THE GOVERNOR
SUPREME COURT SO DECIDES
Execution Of Vermont Woman is Set For
December 8th-COurt Lays No Stress
Upon Sex Of the Convicted.

A special fro N Washington
says:
The supreme court Of the Uni
ted States has affirmed the de-
cision of the district court Of
Vermont in case of Mrs. Mary
Mabel Rogers, VINO is under SEN
tence Of death in Vermont for the
murder of her husband. The eff
feet of the decision will be to
again place the responsibility of
dealing with the case in the hands
of the state authorities, and if in
the meanwhile neither the gov
ernor nor the state courts take
action in Mrs. Rogers behalf her
execution must occur on the day
set, which is Dec. next
The court held in effect that it
was without jurisdiction in a |
the points raised.
The opinion in the case con-
clGded with an order that the
mandate issue at once. This will
obviate the raising Of the ques-
tion of possible postponement of
the day of execution.
II his opinion, Justice Day laid
no stress upon the sex OF Mrs
Rogers. but dealt with the case
upon purely legal grounds. Re-
citing the proceedings in the case
be took up the various conten-
tons made in the womans behalf,
holding each in turn to be inef-
fective.
On the point that Mrs. Rogers
has been held in solitary confne-
ment for more than three months,
he said the record does not show
that she is so he'll, though ad l.
mi. tedly held in close confine-
ment. This course was, he said.
within the rights of the state, and
could not be used as grounds for
interference by the federal court.
He also said that the state su-
preme court could not be requir-
ed TO fix time for execution: that
whether the state supreme court
should sit in Bennington county
is matter Of state practice only,
