REWARD FOR ROGERS
GOVERNOR OFFERS sl5O FOR HIS
 CAPTURE.
Man Killed Mrs. Lena MoseIy at Party fm Remote Crenshnw County SettIemcAt-NeighbOr
 f@ Aroused.

Governor Jelks yesterday offered reward for the arrest and conviction of Herbert Rogers, who on last Tuesday night killed Mrs. Lena Moseley at her home during the progress of party.
 The offer of the reward was made on the request of Solicitor c. R. Brick on, who gives as his opinion that the homicide vas totally unprovoked and that the gran1 jury will surely find a bill charging him with murder in the first degree.
 The details of the crime are pecu- liarly revolting. Mrs. Moseley lived in a neighborhood of~poor farmers In Crenshaw County. The neighbors had gathered in her home for an evenings s entertainment. Without apparent cause during the progress of the party Rog- CTS fired on the woman as she was holding her little boy in her arms. The shot resulted in instant death. The neighborhood was greatly excited and although the farmers are almost uni- vcrsally poor $l50 was raised by vol untary contribution as a reward to cap- ture the man.
 The State adds to this $50 In the opinion of the Solicitor the man Is still lurking in Crenshaw County. The Sheriff has used every possible efrort to capture Rogers but on account of his forced attendance on court he was cCmpelled to abandon the chase.

JUDGE wEAKLEY MAKES DONA TION OF ENGRAVING.
Dr. Owen Receives One of Few Copies of Rare Picture of President Davis And His Cab-
 fnef.

A rare picture of great historic value
 was yesterday presented to the De-
 partment of Archives and History by
 Chief Justice Samuel D. weakley.
 The picture is a steel engraving of
 of President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet in consultation with General
 Robert E. Lee.
 It was published in 1886 by Thomas
 Kelley of New York but the plates
 from which the picture was made were confiseated and destroyed by the Fed
 eral authorities It Is probable that
 now in existence.
 In the picture are striking like nesses of President Davis, Vice Pres
 ident Alexander H Stephens, Secreta-
 ry of the Navy Stephen R. Mallory.
 Attorney General Judah P. Benjamin,
 Secretary of War Le Roy Pope Walker,
 Postmaster General John H. Reagan,
 Secretary of the Treasury c. G. Mem
 minger. and Secretary of State Robert
 Toombs.
 Tn presenting theN picture Judge Weakley directed the following let ter to Dr. Thomas M. Owen, director of the Department of Archives and
 History:
 March 12. 1906. Dr. T. M. Owen. Montgomery. Dear Sir:-The picture of Jefferson Davis and His Cabinet, with General
 Lee in the Council Chamber at Rich-
 mond." published In 1866 by Thomas
 Kelley of New York, was first seen by me in 1881, where it hung in the parlor of the armory of the Porter
 Guards of Memphis, Tenn, in which company I was an officer. When the company disbanded several years later purchased the picture and 1t has ever since been in my possession. Recently discovered that it was rare picture, and more valuable than I had supposed. | This information came from the book of pr. Wharton, entitled War Songs I of the Confectionery" whefin the pie | ture is reproduced in miniature, from | a copy belonging to Mrs. James T. | Halsey, of Philadelphia, the president of the Daughters of the Confederacy' of that city. Mrs. Halsey, writing to Dr. Wharton upon the subject states that the plates from which the picture was made. were confiscated by the Federal government, and that she sup posed her copy to be the only one in existence. She further stated ctrcum- stances tending to show that her copy had once belonged to President Davis. From never having seen anywhere In the South, any copy of this picture ex- cept my own, and from Mrs. Haisey' s statement, am convinced that the pic ture Is not only rare, but possesses an historical and artistic value. Under the circumstances, it has occurred to me that the copy possessed by me
 should not only be permanently pre- served, but that 1t should be placed
 under the control of the Department of Archives and History of the State of Alabama, in the historic Capitol of this
 State. I, therefore, donate 1t uneondi- tionally to that Department
 Yours very truly, Samuel D. Weakiey. The picture Alas been hung in an att | tractive position in the chamber of the State Senate in which the messages were received which announced the ap- pointment of the members of the orig | inal cabinet,
