TEMPTED BY FOOD
MAN ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
DID NOT STARVE.
Started Out to Kill Himself by Not Eat
ing, but Delioacies Were Too Much
for His Resolution.

GOSHEN. N. Y, Oct. IA murder
trial of more thar passing interest
will begin here on October 81,
when Charles Henry Rogers will
be called on to answer the
charge that he murdered Frederick
and Willis Olney, prosperous dairy
farmers who lived together on the road
between Middletown and Howells, and
the daughter of their housekeeper,
Alice Ingerick.
Rogers is 30 years old, country born
and bred. He has a wife and five chill
dren. none of whom he has seen since
he left his home in Middletown on the
morning of October 6. 1905. a few days
before the commission of the crime
charged against him.
Rogers is said to have confessed to
the crime. According to the confession
he had lost his place and was desper-
ately in need of money, He heard that
the olneys had received $500 and,
armed with a two-foot section of gas
pipe and a loaded pistol, he set out for
the Olney farm. BY pretending that
he was a railroad detective in search
of a desperate character he lured the
Olney brothers into the woods near
their home. There he is alleged to
have shot and killed them and robbed
them of their watches and SIG in
money.
Returning to the Olney farm he is
said to have felled Mrs. Ingerick with
the gas pipe. Then he is also accused of
having killed her little daughter Alice
with the same weapon, and was ran
sacking the house when approaching
neighbors caused him to flee. He went
to Chicago and later to Los Angeles,
and was captured in the latter city last
April, after the police had searched
for him for a year and a half.
After he was brought to the Jail
here Rogers for a time was bent on
elf-destruction by abstention from
food. Delicacies which were brought to
him daily, however, so tempted his
palate that he was unable to carry out
his inclination to starve himself to
death.
The defense is to be insanity, based
injuries received years ago by Rog-
ers in a railroad accident. Alienists
are to testify on both sides.
Rogers's wife, who has been support
ing herself and her FIVE little ones by
days work, called at the lookup the
other day for the first time to see her
husband.
She waited so long she can 60" said
Rogers.

IN BLAST OF DEATH
SHOWER OF MOLTEN METAL
ON WORKERS.
Four Men Killed Instantly, Three Sue
comb to Injuries and Others Are
Not Expected to Recover.

BUTLER, Pa, Oct. IAN explosion,
caused by the upsetting of a metal pot
in the No. 1 cupola of the Standard
Steel Company here late last night
caused the death of four men, fatally
injuring twenty and seriously injured
ten others.
The large wheel plant. $50 by 100 feet,
was demolished. causing a loss esti-
mated at 100000.
The dead are. Nick Dorna, disembow-
eled: Nicholas Bloter, burned TO a
crisp: John Vereck. skull crushed; UNI
known man, totally d~ismembered.
Three of the injured died in a hos
pital here today as the result of the
burns caused by the upsetting of the
molten metal.
More than half the number at the
hospital are expected to die before
night.
The condition Of the men in
jured is pitiable. Although still alive
the features of the majority are mutt
lated beyond recognition. The hot
metal was showered over them, causing
horrible injuries. Arms, fingers and
ears were torn off, while a number OF
the men had their eyes burned out.
Several men are in the hospital with
their legs burned TO q crisp.
The explosion was caused by the p
setting of a metal pot in the cupola
which contained 5000 pounds of molten
metal ready for casting. A span in the
pot broke, allowing the liquid iron to
spill over the wet sand. An explosion
followed so quickly that none of the
workmen in the building had a chance
to escape. Streams of the burning
rnafa1 r,r44,~lI ot1f an the AVOrkmGn.
some of whom were engulfed and liter
ally cooked.
Many were buried under the wreck
age and were not rescued for IN hour
after the catastrophe. Buildings in the
city from the force of the explosion
shivered as II shaken by an earthquake
and people rushed from their homes
panic-stricken.
When flames shot from the burning
works fully 10000 rushed to the scene,
blocking streets and interfering with
fire companies and ambulances. Twenty1|
minutes after the accident fifteen doc
tors were on the scene and the wounded
were carried into the Office of the car
company, where they were cared for.
Through lack of room many of the
injured were compelled to lie for an
hour on cots in street cars before 1t
was possible to take them to the hos
pital, a mile and a half away.
Friends and relatives of the victims
crowded the hospital street cars and
would have risked their lives at the
burning plant in search of those they
knew. Mike Bloter, one of the dead,
was SO terribly burned that his w
did not recognize him. AT the
of the car plant men and women
struggled frantically to gain admis-
sion, and were kept out only by the
assistance of a force of policemen. In
The crush many women were injured,
and their cries of pain and anguish
be heard blocks away.
The car wheel plant was finished last
at a cost of 5000, 900. The wrecked
sHS6ia alone cost $40, oO0. The a works
proper. costing $1,000 900. was in danger
destruction. but the fire department
soon had the blaze under control.
