WOMAN WILL FANG.
Vermont Murderess Not Disturbed by
the Fact that She Will Be
Gihhetted Eehruaru 3

Rutland, VT. Jan. 2l.-John n. Wood
fl of this city, chairman of the board of
state prison directors. said today that he
has talked with Mrs. Mary Rogers, the
condemned murderess at Windsor this
week. He says she is Il remarkable wom-
an. He says that the reports that Mrs.
Rogers has broken down and lost her
nerve are absolutely false. There is moth
ing in her demeanor that would Indicate
that she is in the shade of the gallows.
She appears to he in the best Of health
and spirits and 10 have no fear what
ever.
Mrs. Rogers now knows that she will
undoubtedly be put to death on February
3, but she looks at this in the same mat
ter-of-fact way that she has regarded
everything since going to the State prison.
Mr.. Woodtin says that the woman seems
to be sorry that she murdered her hus-
band, but does not act as though she
realized the enorm:ty of her crime, and
refers to it much as one would TO q mat
ter of much less Importance.
Mrs. Rogers is given considerable lib
erty at the State prison for a condemned
murderess. She is in a large sitting
room," and can walk about. read and
otherwise amuse herself. There is a WIN
dow in the room looking out over the sur
rounding country and she spends much
time looking out through it. There is
nothing to prevent her from seeing the
scores of Gamers tiends who 20 to Wind
sor to take photographs of her and her
surroundings. but none of them seem to
realize that the handsome young woman
at the barred window is the Bennington
murderess and SO do not snap her.
Word was received from the prison to.
day by Chairman Woodfin, that packages,
boxes. bundles. etc. of every description
are pouring into the prison with every
train arrival. The number OF these is
enormous and they are nearly all directed
to Mrs. Rogers. They contain a varied lot
of articles. Fruit, flowers and foods of
various kinds. candy and delicacies are
sent to the condemned murderess BY
cranis all over the country. The letters
which are daily sent to her would keep
her busy every minute in the twenty-four
hours of the day if she We're allowed to
read them.
None of the presents has as yet been
seen by the woman, and Mr.. Woodlin
has given orders that they be destroyed.
He does not think it would be safe to
let her have the food and candy. be-
cause there is no knowing what might be
contained in some of it. Her food is of
the plainest and is cooked in the prison
kitchen. She makes no complaint of this
and seems to be satisfied with conditions.
