PRAYERS FOR DYING WERE READ
AND PREPARATIONS FOR
HANGING MADE.
Is STUNNED BY GOOD NEWS
WOMAN HAD GIVEN UP ALL
HOPE AND WAS READY
FOR DEATH.

Windsor, VT, Feb A few hours
after receiving the last rites of the
Catholic church and hearing her
father confessor read the prayers for
the dying. Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers,
who was sentenced to die upon the
gallows this afternoon, listened with
amazement to the announcement Of
High Sheriff Henry H. Peck that Gov.
Charles j. Bell had granted her a re-
prieve of four months.
The news from Montpelier that the
governor had consented to defer the
execution of Mrs. Rogers, carried to
the prison by representative Of the
Associated Press, came as a surprise
not only to the condemned woman,
but also to the sheriff, his deputies
and the prison officials, as it had been
generally accepted that the governor
would refuse to interfere.
Ready to End Her Life.
Preparations for the execution had
been perfected. When the news Of
Gov. Bells action was carried to the
prison the officials hesitated to be-
lieve the announcement until Gen.
Bell called up E. w. Cakes, the prison
superintendent, by long distance telc
phone, and formally notified him that
Mrs. Rogers had been granted a re-
prieve so that her claim to not having
had fair trial might be passed upon
by the supreme court.
Sheriff Peck carried the news of the
RI hn mi
companied by Supt. Ooakes, States
Attorney Batchelder and Capt. Fuller.
AS the party approached the grated
door Mrs. Rogers was seated at
table, writing
Letter to Her Mother.
Apparently supposing that the sher-
if had come to read the death war
rant she arose and moved toward the
door.
Mrs. Rogers remained like statue
after the good news was impaired to
her. as though unable to comprehend
the meaning of the words. Without
sign of emotion she gazed at the
sheriff a moment and then said:
81 had given up all hope, but l am
glad that the governor has granted
me more time. He is good man.
Mrs. Rogers then thanked the sher-
if and his companions for the lnfor-
nation they had brought her. she
seemed unaffected by the tidings, and
as the party moved away from the
door of the death cell, she returned TO
| the table and resumed writing.
Would Poison Prisoner.
Five hundred dollars was otfered 70
| Harold Harpin, a guard in the state
| prison, if he would carry a package OF
| poison to Mrs. Rogers. The offer was
made in an anonymous letter IRON
Boston containing $3.50 in bills, which
| Harpin received recently.
| The writer offered to send the oth
er $3.50 as soon as the poison was de
| iiyered to Mrs Rogers. the Suarl
| turned the letter over to Supt. Oakes
| who showed it to Gov Bell. Posta
| authorities have been asked to lnvesti
| gate the matter.
