THE DEATH TRAP is
SPRUNG AT LAST.

Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers was hang
ed at the Vermont state prison at
Windsor, at 1913 this afternoon for
the murder of her husband, Marcus
Rogers, at Bennington, August 10,
1902. Mrs. Rogers was pronounced
dead by the prison officials at 1:271a.
The execution took place after the
woman had been twice repTieved on
account of appeals made in her case
by her counsel, and after the United
States supreme court had refused to
take action in the case. Only COM
paratively few persons witnessed the
hanging. the number being restricted
to those permitted to attend by the
laws of Vermont.
Mrs. Rogers maintained her COM
posure to the last ana mounted the
gallows with steady step. Although
deadly pallor oyerspread her coun-
tenance, hardly a muscle quivered as

When the words had been spoken
Deputy Sheriff McCauley sprang the
trap and the drop fell. Her neck was

It is as to whether George Miller

to whether Mrs. Gravelle made solfc-
