laws of the commonwealth"
This makes it certain that Mrs.
Mary Rogers, who is the first woman
to pay the death penalty in Vermont
for seventy years, will be hanged
in the state prison at Windsor, Feb
ruary 3. The prison officials are re
ceiving letters from cranks in var
lous places threatening violence of
all kinds If they put the woman to
death.
Mrs. Rogers killed her husband
on August 12, 1902. Leon Pelham.
who assisted her in the crime. con-
fessed, and was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. According to the con-
fession. Mrs. Rogers lured her hus-
band into the woods. where she tied
his hands and chloroformed him. His
body was then tossed into the river.
To get few hundred dollars in
surance on Rogers life was the mo-
tive of the crime.
Mrs. Rogers has confessed all. She
says that she entered into con-
splracy with Pelham, sought out her
husband and returned to his home,
Then she took him down by the riv-
erside. and threw her arms around
his neck She produced rope and
suggested that she could tie him so
he could not get away. He let her
try, and easily freed himself Then
she suggested that Pelham could tie
him so he could not disentangle him
self.
The dupe submitted and soon
found himself fast A bottle of chlor-
oform was pressed to Rogers nos
trils. he was rolled down into the
water, where he drowned A note
was left. purporting to have been
written by Rogers. that he had
drowned himself.
