This memorial Is to be erected by
the offerings of many thousands of
Americans who in this way show their
love for the man who won a place In
the hearts Of all by his kindness and
whose death By the hand of the assassin

The Hanging Will Not Take
Place Friday Because They
Will Take The Case Higher
In Any Case.

Windsor, june 21.-Attorney General
Fits of Brattleboro, who was to argue
against the habeas corpus writ Of Mary
Rogers, sentenced to be hanged Friday
for the murder Of her husband, Marcus

he could not get to Windsor in time
for the hearing, which was set for two
O'Clock this afternoon. 1t was, therefore,
arranged to transfer the hearing to Brat

Attorney General Fits will not be pre-
pared to argue at length this afternoon,
and that he will consent to an adjourn
ment for a month.
In that event Governor Bell will nee
essarily have to issue another respite.

THERE'LL BE NO HANGING
Mrs. Rogers Attorneys Say They VIII
Take Her Case Directly to
United States
Court.

IF Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler Of the
United States circuit court should deny
the writ Of habeas corpus for Mary
Rogers. it il asserted that the
woman's attorneys will take direct APP
peal TO the United States supreme court.
This probable action was tacitly admit.
ted by Attorneys T. w. Moloney and
f. NJ. Butler at Rutland last evening.
These attorneys claimed that unless
something misses fire there Is no possi-
bility that the woman will be hanged
Friday for the murder of her husband,
for this reason, that pending the action
of the United States supreme court all
proceedings taken against the woman
under the Vermont law will be null and
void
Mrs. Rogers attorneys base their
opinions on section 766 of the United
States statutes which provides for a
stay Of all proceedings pending the hear
ing on the habeas corpus case and the
appeal and on chapter SIG, section 5,
of the laws Of the 51st Congress, which
states that appeals of this kind may,
instead of being taken to the circuit
court of the United States, be taken
direct to the United States supreme
court, ii in such appeal it is claimed
that any state law or part thereof con-
fiicts with any part OF the constitution
Of the United States. Mr.. Butler stated
that Judge Wheeler is aware Of these
statutes.
The other two grounds stated in the
application will be test as to the
validity Of the Vermont statutes which
abolish county supreme courts except
at Montpelier. The statutes of 1892
abolishing the supreme court in the
several counties and fixing the sessions
at Montpelier, is claimed to be uncon-
stitutional.
