Mrs. Mary Rogers Win Not Hang as
northumberland offered Bride
70 Give Her Poison.

WATERBURY,, VT, Feb. AIRS. Mary
Rogers, who was to be hanged to-
day for the murder Of her husband,
has been reprieved until June z by
Governor Bell. The supreme court Will
be asked to grant a new trial. The
case has attracted wide attention.
on December %, 1903, Mrs. Rogers
was found guilty of murder IN the
first degree in KEELING her husband,
Marcus III. Rogers, on August IL, 1902.
The verdict carried the death penalty.
The governor granted a repr1eve
expressly on the ground that MIS-.
Rogers attorney claims she has not
had a fair trial: that the evidence
presented against her was false.
Mr.. Rogers is about q years old, and,
though without a particle of beauty,
she fascinated three men so deeply that
one lost his life. another sold 1t for her
and the third may yet be convicted of
murder, having aided her in the kill
ing of her husband. She was born here
IF poor parents and was married at 10,
but separated from her husband after
two years to receive the attentions of
other men. Her husband worked IN a
mill, and after the separation she Sc
cured a place as q domestic. ii was
shown at the trial hat Mrs. Rogers met
her husband, with whom she had not
been living, on p%retense of effecting a
reconciliation, and, assisted by Leon
Perham and Stella Rates, gave Rogers
chloroforIn. The body was then thrown
into the Willamoosac river. Love FOR
another man and a desire TO get her
husbands life insurance was the al
legged motive.
Windsor, VT, Feb. Alive hundred
dollars was offered TO Harold Harpin, a
guard in the state prison, IL he would
carry a package of poison 10 Mrs. Mary
NJ. Rogers, convicted of the murder of
her husband, who is under death SEN
tence.
The offer was made in an anony-
mols letter from Boston containing
$3.50 In bills which Harpin received re-
Gently. The writer offered to send the
other $3.50 as soon as the poison was
delivered to Mrs. Rogers.
The guard turned the letter over tic
superintendent Cakes, who showed il
TO Governor Bell.
The postal authorities have been
asked 10 investigate the letter.

a m and themselves. For some months
back there has been trouble brewing
In this company, there having been
formed several factions to such an ex-
tent that a ~receiyership was threatened.
Sioux City has several hundred thou
sand dollars invested in the company,
and there is scarcely q city of any size
in the continent that has not some
stockholders. The control of the stock
and the board of directors was in the
he If Denver crowd in whom
the outside stockholders lost confidence.
The Deadwood stockholders went to
Denver with the determination to
know how much stock and bonds re-
manned unsold. The Denver promoters,
it is stated, made a complete backdown.
III. r. Mayham will not be a candidate

Rotation of this company has injured
the Black Hills mining and has acted
asa damper to other investments that
