NO NEW TRIAL
Mrs Rogers May Go to the GAL
lows Next Friday
COUNSEL STILL FIGHTING
VIII Appeal TO Federal Supreme
Court In Hope of Saving Wom-
ans Life--Decision on Insanity
Plea of the Murderess

Montpelier, VT, May 29.-Mrs. Mary
NJ. Rogers, the convicted murderess of
her husband, Marcus Rogers of Ben
nington, was denied a new trial in a
decision handed down in the Vermont
supreme court. Two of the justices
dissented
Counsel for Mrs. Rogers, after ap-
pealing in vain for an opportunity to
present additional newly discovered
evidence before the court, and to secure
continuance of six weeks, announced
their intention of carrying the case to
the United States supreme court.
A writ Of error will be presented to
the state supreme court for the ell
dorsement of the chief justice and clerk
and will then be filed with the clerk
of the United States supreme court
The endorsement of, the writ of error
by the chief justice of the Vermont
supreme court will act as a stay of eX-
ecution.
In carrying the case to the United
States supreme court the counsel for
Mrs. Rogers will have exhausted every
means in their power in behalf of the
prisoner.
On Friday next the reprieve granted
Mrs. Rogers last February by Governor
Bell will expire. If her counsel are
unable to.g get the case before the United
States supreme court previous to Fri
day. the woman will be hanged, as
Governor Bell granted the reprieve
only for the sake of allowing Mrs
Rogers counsel to present newly dis
covered evidence to the state supreme
court.
The last portion Of the courts opin-
ion took up the theory advanced by
Mrs. Rogers counsel that the woman
was insane at the time of the murder.
The court said:
'In spite of the evidence introduced
and the affidavits produced. the court
las no reason to doubt but that the
petitioner at the time of the homicide
was of the mental ability to distinguish
between right and wrong and to com
prehend the nature of the crime which
she was to commit, and that she had
sufficient will-power to enable her to
refuse to commit it.
1T was through deliberate exercise
of will-power that the crime was COM
mitted. She deliberately planned to
make it appear that her husband COM
mitted suicide, to conceal her crime.
In her appearance at the inquest she
affected ignorance of the means of Ter
husbands death, in the hope that The
theory of suicide might be adopted.
She was sound and healthy of mimi,
not weak and sabled; intelligent, not
unintelligent; she acted with the rea-
son of sanity, not as one insane, and
the evidence showed that she was
guilty of murder-of wilful, deliberate
killing.
After careful consideration of tie
new evidence it does not appear in our
judgment sufficient to warrant a new
trial 1t is the opinion of the court
that the petition ought to be and is dis
missed"
The decision covered 40 closely writ
ten pages.
