0f Gov. Bells Reprieye For
Mrs. Rogers.
WAS SIGNED LAST EVENING
Meanwhile woman's Defense viii Be
Argued Before the United States
Supreme court--out Of
Death Cell.

Brattleboro, June 23.--The reprieve
until December s for Mrs. Mary NJ.
Rogers, the condemned murderess, yes
terday was signed by Governor Charles
]. Bell, and for the third time the
woman who was to have been hanged
at Windsor today for killing her hus-
band has been saved through the opera
tion OF the governors power Of stay
ing the execution. The reprieve was
granted in order that the case may be
carried to the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States circuit court. Mrs. Rogers
attorneys petitioned for her release on
writ of habeas corpus.
Criticised Former Procedure.
In announcing his decision Judge
Wheeler criticised the procedure Of the
state courts, without, however, specii-
caIly pointing to any particular feature
of the prosecution which did not meet
his appreciation. But he did not believe
he should take it to be within his
province to grant the petition without
committing himself expressly to the
adoption Of any definite attitude in the
case. The Judge gave the attorneys to
understand in his finding that it would
be well for higher court to pass upon
the questions involved.
Judge Wheeler dwelt particularly on
the length of time during which Mrs
Rogers had been kept in solitary con
finement. He said the effect Of the gov
ernor's reprieve had been to keep tht
prisoner in solitary confinement not only
during the three months specified by
| law, but for the entire time since ther
and also siLce the dismissal of the pc
tition to the supreme court. This, h
said, appeared in violation Of the Law
and gave the respondent no opportunity
to be heard. The purpose Of the stat
ute being to give the supreme cour
the right to determine how the respond
ent should be kept during her confine
ment until she was executed and sh
already having served three months il
solitary confinement without the cour
having made an order Judge Wheele
was 81 the opinion she il now bein
kept in solitary confinement without du
process of the law. He said howeve
the matter was not sufficiently clear t
| him as d direct violation Of the fedora
constitution and statutes to warrant hi
discharging the woman.

said:

requested that denial Of the story be

STORIES INVESTIGATED

Company Has Decided to Return to a
2o-Hour Schedule Instead of Try
ing to Beat the
Wind.

Cleveland, June 23.-There is some
circumstantial evidence that a boy was
the cause Of the wreck Of the goth Cen
tury Limited at Mentor. Two men while
going to the wreck twenty minutes af-
ter it occurred met a boy carrying a
lantern. The boy said he had ben to
shut the switch. General Superiuten-
dent Storrs says he heard of Mentor
lad who told boy that it was easy
to open the switch and showed key
with which he could do it.
The supposition is that the boy with
the lantern and the one with the key
are the same. A rigid investigation Of
the two tales is being made.
