young to work, and the mother is oblig-

and other articles of wearing apparel
besides good hearty supper. Later in

Hours of Tomorrow.

Mary Rogers attorneys, L. B. Flynn, G..

BELIEVED PROSPECTS BRIcHTER
One Of Mary Rogers Attorneys So Stat
ed Last Night.

Rutland, Dec. THE prospects for
saving Mary Rogers are much brighter,
and j think we shall be able to squeeze
ont OF it, This was the statement
OF E. B. Finn Of Springfield at the
close of conference of attorneys work
ing in behalf of the woman, held at
the Bardwell last evening This state
ment il given more weight because the
attorneys last night invited Hon. II.
Fl. Powers of Morrisyille to their con-
ference, and the presence Of q man Of
his legal standing has given The move
more character than it has heretofore
possessed.
The attorneys are reticent about Civ
ing out their plan, but it is known they
had before them a large amount Of doc
uments relating to the mental condition
of Mary Rogers by which they hope
to show that she was of deprayed
nature and was not responsible for the
crime Of which she has been legally
convicted

LEWIS JARVIS PRAISED
LAWYER 7. P. WICKES
Were One and the Same---Wickes Found
Found Guilty Of BlackmaiI and
VIII Be Sentenced Next
Week.

New York, Dec. Z. Thomas z. Nickes,
prominent attorney and former assist
ant corporation counsel, yesterday was
found guilty of blackmal after trial
before iury in the criminal branch of
the supreme court. He was remanded
for sentence next week
The case of Wickes il one OF the most
peculiar in criminal annals. While oe-
cupying a prominent place in the legal
profession and enjoying high reputa-
tion, it has been learned that under the
name Of Lewis Jarvis, which he assumed
for the purpose, Wickes wrote hundreds
of letters to persons who We're interested
in cases with which he was connected
Nearly all Of these letters were confined
entirely to praise of Wickesy the man
and his ability in the legal profession.
Clients were congratulated upon having
obtained the services Of so able a gentle
man, and prospective clients were adj
vised to retain Wickes at any cost.
Some OF the letters, however, are said
TO have other ends in view and ii was
one OF these which resulted in the undo
ing Of Wickes.
To DIR. Edward Weston of Newark, N.
u, several of these Lewis Jarvis let
ters were written, advising Or, Weston
to settle a certain litigation brought by
DIR. A. p. GrinnelI, formerly of Burling-
ton, VT, against himself by paying sew
eral thousand dollars. These letters
evidently were written BY some one in
innate with the case, and DIR. Weston
gave them to detectives. Wickes was
found out and arrested when he went to
i postoffice for letters addressed to
Lewis Jarvis.
During the present trial he admitted
that lie was the writer Of the letters.
