WOMAN GOES

TO GALLONS
Mrs. Rogers Hanged IN YER
mont Slate Prison.
PAYS PENALTY FOR ONE OF
MOST BRUTAL MURDERS KNOWN
Entlced Trusting Husband to Lonely
Spot and There ChIoroformed
Her Victim.


Windsor, Vermont, Dec. S.--With-
out tremor and without word Mrs.
Mary Mabel Rogers today marched to
her death on the gallows at the state
prison here and paid the penalty of
numbering her husband, Marcus Rog-
ers, at Bennington on August 13, 1902.
To all appearances Mrs. Rogers was
the calmest person in the chamber OF
death.
She faced her end with the same
stoical indifference that had marked
her demeanor ever since her arrest
more than three years ago.
Greatly to the relief of those Off
cials who were assisting in executing
the sentence, Mary Rogers last hour
was remarkably free from narrowing
incidents.
There were no sensational incidents
in connection with the hanging. X
The crime for which Mrs. Mary Ma
bel Rogers was sentenced to death was
the murder of her husband, Marcus
Rogers at Bennington, August 13,
1902. At the time the crime was COM
mitted Mrs. Rogers was only 10 years
old. She had been separated from her
husband for some time was desirous
Of marrying young man named Maui
rice Knapp, On the day of the mur-
der Marcus Rogers went to Benning
ton to visit his wife. and that night
she arranged to meet him in the woods
near the Walloomsac river. While
caressing him she induced him to all
low her to bind his hands and while
he was poweress she chloroformed
him. In this she was aided by Leon
Perham, half -witted boy who was
the son Of the woman with whom she
boarded. Another woman, Estelia
Bates was present.

and Mrs. Rogers rolled the body into
the river where 1t was found next day.
IN order to divert suspicion. the wom-
an wrote d note to which she signed
her husbands name. giving the i'm
preston that he had committed spi-
eide.
Immediately the murderer, Mrs.
Rogers, endeavored to collect her hus-
bands life insurance. amounting to
$500, and also made arrangements TO
purchase furniture. for the house
where she expected to live when she
married Knapp.
A few days after the murder Mrs,
Rogers, Perham and the Bates woman
were arrested. Perham made a COM
r1ete confession and both he and Mrs,
Rogers were found guilty of murder In
the first degree Perham was SEN

the sentence of court in Mrs. Rogers
case was death on the gallows.

VIEWS OF MAUD ADAMS
ON MODERN BOOK PL AVS
Does Not Think Them Evil and Holds That They Have
Rescued Stage From Medocrty

Maude Adams does not give out inter
views or submit TO them. In all the course
OF her stage. career she has never au-
thorized single statement of her views
on the stage. For that reason-and
many others-the following digest Of a
recent talk with her on the two related
subjects Of book plays and the immoral
drama viii have unusual interest.
Miss Adams Is inclined 10 the belief
that It IS not bad idea- to revive n
play. though it may bear the title of
pelng an old one. An old play, if it is
a good one, according to MISS Adams
method of reasoning, is oftentines pre-
1erred by discriminating public to a
new plav. though it may be regarded
as novelty. Miss Adams finds It pleas
