ALBANY. n. Y. Aug 29.-The mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Rogers. who left
their two boys, Rex. aged six years. and
Jack, aged six months. at the hotel Ten
Eyck, is as dense as ever It was.
No trace Of them has been discovered
but the movements OF the pair before
they arrived here give rise TO the i'm
preston that Rogers had engaged in
banking transactions which may have
necessitated his hurried departure for
Canada. Another theory is that Mr.. and
Mrs. Rogers. having reached the end
Of their financial resources, decided 10
die together and abandoned their little
ones in a manner that would insure
their being well cared for.
In the trunks left by the pair were
found. in addition TO many touching
love letters that passed between little
Rex and his parents. two checks for
a,49l. each drawn on the Kern VaiIey-

Ing. 1t seems though wooster is tax

The courtroom was filled TO its utmost
capacity several times before the court
bailif convened the session and the
lower and upper halls leading to the
courtroom were lined with hundreds OF
disappointed people.
Mrs. Taggart was a little late getting
to the witness chair this morning.
She entered in company with her sis
ter. Mrs Shield. and DR.. Vose. and the
three hurriedly edged their way through
the crowded aisle toward the bar The
witness was out of breath when she
reached her seat at the left hand of

Suspicious Feature.

he suspicious feature OF these stamps
and checks is that the California Con-
solidated Oil Fields Company. the pur-
ported drawer of them. disowns the
checks. Tho Kern Valley Bank does
not know Rogers. and the cashier of
that institution does not sign as ..R. II.
Mcdonald. but as Ronald Mcdonald -
1t was also learned from New York
that Rogers had tried to engage passage
for himself. wife and children on the
Campania for last Saturday. and had
offered in payment a certified check for
several thousands on the Kern Valley
Bank which the steamship agency had
refused to honor.
Rogers told the steamship agent hC
would send the money for the tickets
but did not do so. II was also learned
that the Rogerses left the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. New York. leaving an unpaid
bill of 800.
The case is one of the most mysterious
in the experience of the police depart
ment here, and the more il is inyesti-
gated the more puzZling il becomes
So far not the slightest clue has been

There was a pathetic scene in the hotel
when Rex was told that he must leave
