Sheriff Peck's testimony on Saturday
had to do almost entirely with the inter-
view secured from Mrs Rogers by Miss
Anna Batchelder. The sheriff said he was
not aware that Miss Batchelder wished
to interview the condemned woman until
she had reached the prison. He did not,
he said, communicate with Miss Batchel-
der by telephone.
Supt. Lowell said he could and would
have prevented Miss Batchelder from in
terviewing Mrs. Rogers, had it not been
that she was a sister of the states at
tOrney and a friend of the high sheriff.
He testified emphatically that Sheriff
Peck did talk to Miss Batchelder over the
telephone, at which time he granted her
permission TO interview Mrs. Rogers.
Questioned as 10 the discipline at the
prison, the superintendent said a pris-
oner named Clark escaped from the in
stitution last May and what he believed
to be his body was found in the woods
near Ludlow village.
At the conclusion of this testimony the
commission adjourned to meet in Boston
today, Sept. l. The meeting there will
will be for the purpose of examining mer-
chants who have sold supplies to be used
at the state prison. and others.
1t is intimated that there are other
revelations Of immortality in connection
with the prison which will surprise and
shock people everywhere.
Harold Harpin, son of Edward D. Har-
pin, eX-warden of the prison, is now
cashier of a restaurant in Boston, and in
an interview published by the Boston
Globe Sunday he denied all connection
with the key to Mrs. Rogers's quarters.
He said that as guard he was never en-
ployed in that part of the prison where
Mrs. Rogers was confined, and that he
had no opportunity OF communicating
With her. Harold Harpin further said
N1.aN l.. N...a l.
non Rogers did not go into the cell OF
Mrs. Mary Rogers until fully week after
both Of the Harpins had been discharged.
Harpin talked at length about the case,
saying that Rogers opened the outside
door with a crude key and that Mrs.
Rogers admitted him to her cell by re-
moving the screws 10 the lock of the in
ner door with scissors. The visits of the
"trusty" TO the prisoner lasted about two
weeks, and then, being discovered Mrs.
Rogers was removed to safer quarters in
the central building and Vernon Rogers
was locked up.

AFFAIRs IN VERMONT.


Miss Harriet L. Harris, a prominent
young woman of Rutland, was attacked
one night last week on one of the prin-
cipal residential streets of the city within
few hundred feet of her home. Robbery
was probably the motive. When she was
passing some shrubbery a man suddenly
appeared and thrust a sponge saturated
with cloroform to her nose. Miss Harris
was an athlete at Yassar, and the foot
pad got more than he bargained for.
With a desperate effort she tore the
sponge from her face, and her assailant,
becoming afraid that her cries would at
tract attention, fed. The woman's face
was badly burned by the chloroform, and
as soon as the man had left she tainted.
Thirty minutes before Miss Harris's ex-
perience Miss Hannah Kent was attack
ed on the same block by a man, who
grabbed her by the throat. She struck
him in the face and he fled when he heard
steps approaching.

BOX DELIVERY UNSATISFACTORY.
Postmaster Holt Points Out Some Of
 the Many Disadvantages.

Postmaster w. s. Holt made the following statement to a Democrat reporter recently, says the Little Rock Democrat:
 "The resolution adopted by the Fourth-class Postmasters' Association recommends the dis continuance of box service on star routes and the establish ment of rural routes in their stead. Four years ago the gov ernment, for the first time, un- dertook the delivery of mail on star routes. Contracts for car rying the mail were let to the lowest responsible bidders, but the law permits any one who can read and write and who is sixteen years of age to become carriers. The result is in a great many cases a very poor class of carriers is secured, many ire sponsible boys, and the mail is often mixed ard placed in wrong boxes, resulting in much confus- ion. No general disposition to use this service has been shown by the people. Probably no more than twenty-five families in Pulaski county are using the service. A storm of protests and complaints from those who do attempt to use the service has arisen on account of it's inefficient cy. The service is also very un- satisfactory on account of the irregularity of the delivery, for there are frequent delays of sev- eral hours, making it most in- convenient for patrons who live some distance off the routes. The star routes are under the di- rection of contractors, while the rural routes are under the direct supervision of the postmaster, who is thus enabled to exercise a direct control of the service" "

The former delivered a characteristic speech, consuming one and a half hours, during which he compared his own record as governor with that of Senator Berry as gover- nor, showing that progress of the state during his (Davis') ad- ministration had been very re- markable. He charged that in- dications are in evidence that Congressman Brundidge may yet be substituted for Senator Berry as his opponent.
