MRS. ROGERS LIFE
STILL IN BALANCE
Governors Answer to Petition
for Reprieve Not Yet
Made
HAVE NEW EVIDENCE IN CASE

Montpelier, VT, Feb 2. - Whether
Mary Mabel Rogers, now occupying
The death cell at the Windsor state
prison, will die on the gallows to-
morrow afternoon, as ordered by the
court in which she was found guilty
of numbering her husband, Marcus
Rogers, or be granted reprieve while
the supreme court is petitioned for a
new trial, will be announced at Water
bury this evening by Governor Bell.
This much was made known by the
governor at the conclusion of a hear
ing given by him, and at which he
was urged to grant a stay Of execution.
Governor Bell added that the privil-
ege to resign belonged to the sheriff
and deputies, who we're among the
petitioners.
The hearing presented the unusual
spectacle of five officers of the law
charged with the infiction Of the death
penalty pleading with the governor
of the state to delay their duties.
These officers and the condemned wo-
man were represented by counsel. At
torney General Fits alone appeared
in opposition.
Briefly, Governor Bell was asked to
delay the execution until newly dis
covered evidence could be presented
before the supreme court with petit
ton for a new trial The petitioners
alleged that Leon Perham, now serv-
ing a life sentence for completely in
the crime, had recently confessed that
he had lied on the stand, swearing
away Mrs. Rogers life to save him
self from the gallows: that Mrs. Rog-
ers was an accessory rather than the
principal, according to Perham's al
legged confession, in which he was
quoted as admitting that he and not
Mrs. Rogers administered the chloro-
form; that there was hereditary in
sanity in the Rogers family, and that
the physical condition of the con-
demned woman at the time the crime
was committed was such as to make
her mentally incapacitated
The attorney general said that the
state did not desire vengeance, but
that 1t did want Justice, sure and
swift" The evidence brought out at
the trial was, he said, too conclusive
to justify Governor Bell in granting
reprieve.
Governor Bell stated that in reply
10 the petition of the sheriffs of Wind
sor county, he would say that if any
sheriff in that county desired to retire
from Office, he had the privilege of
doing So and that he would give his
answer at Waterbury.

TEN WOMEN DEAD
IN AWFUL CRASH
Train Ran Into a Sleigh With
Results That Were
Frightful
THREE OTHERS BADLY INJURED

Hornellsville. n. Y. Feb. "A pas
senger train on the Pittsburg, Shaw
NUT and Northern Railroad crashed
into a sleigh containing 13 women,
killing seven outright, and so seri-
ously iniuring the remaining six that
three of them died after being removed
to the hospital. OF the others two
are in a serious condition. The acct
dent occurred near Arkport. The
sleigh was one of three carrying a
party from the Universalist Church,
of this city.
The dead are: Mrs. Mary Gillette,
Mrs Charles Thomas, Mrs. Eugene
Shaw, Mrs. Joseph Hallett, Mrs. c. G.
Graves, Mrs Bert Moore. Mrs. Ruth
Patchen, Mrs. Coates and Mrs. Fred
Green, Mrs. Fred. Boubhton.
The injured are: Mrs. f. r. Row
ley, Mrs. Bond and Mrs. W. Clark.
Members of the Ladies' Aid Society
of the Unlversalist Church went TO a
farm house near Airport to spend the
afternoon. II was nearly dark when
they started on the return trip 10 the
city. The occupants Of the leading
sleigh saw the train approaching as
they neared the Shawmut crossing
The driver urged his horses ahead,
and the sleigh passed over the tracks
in safety The women in the first
sleigh then attempted to warn those
in the one following of the danger,
and they did succeed in directing their
attention to the rapidly approaching
train. The driver pulled up his
horses, but he could not check the
heavy bob sleigh quickly enough, and
when it came to a standstill the box
of the sleigh was directly across the
railroad track. The pilot of the en-
gine struck the sleigh with great
force. reducing it to splinters and
hurling the women in all directions.
Every woman on the sleigh was killed
or injured.
The other members of the party
hurried back to the assistance of their
unfortunate companions, and the train
was stopped and backed up to the
crossing.
The bodies of the dead were placed
upon the train and the injured we're
laid upon improvised cots in the bag
gage car The train then proceeded
to Hornellsville. The news OF the
accident had been telephoned to tho
city. and hundreds of friends and rela-
tives of the unfortunate women were
waiting at the station. The dead were
at once taken to the morgue and the
injured were placed in ambulances
and taken to the Mercy hospital
Elisha Quick, driver Of the second
Sleigh was badly hurt, but was able
to make the following statement:
81 was driving along at a sharp
canter when / suddenly saw the flash
of the headlight and heard the ladies
in the front sleigh call out not to at
tempt to cross. The women in my
sleigh saw the train at the same time.
and. realizing their peril, began to
scream and Shrek for help. Their
cries and the glare of the light so
frightened the horses that l was I'M
able to stop them, and they sprang
upon the track. They succeeded in
clearing IT, but just as the sleigh was
half way across the engine struck us
with a terrible crash, and I remember
nothing more until | found myself
being picked up out Of the snow |
simply could not control my horses" 4"
