SLAYER OF THREE CoNFEssEs.
Tells of Murder Without the Slight
est Sign of Remorse.

Goshen, n. Y, May Take me
out and kill me any time you please ;
said Charles H. Rogers when at his
journeys end here. He was lock ed
up In the couty Jail charged with
three peculiarly atrocious murders.
He had made full confession that
he was the sole person responsible
for the killing of Fred X. Olney,
Willis Olney and Alice Ingerick
daughter of their housekeeper, Mrs.
Ingerick, whose life he also tried to
take at the Olney farm near Howell's g
Station on the Erie, fourteen miles
from here
The murders were done on Oct. 6
1905. For long time 1t appeared as
II justice would be foiled. Although
Rogers, who was a farm laborer and
a trolley motorman, was under sus-
picion, there was little to connect
him with the crime, except the fact
ha he had disappeared day of the
the murder.
Persistent but vain efforts had
been made to discover Rogers
whereabouts, until the final clue
came in a way that proves again the
truth of the trite saying, murder
will out.

DISTRICT BOUNDARY STONES.
Effort to Secure Appropriation to
Preserve Them.


1t is likely that the Commissioners will
make an effort to obtain an appropria ton
from Congress for the purpose of replacing.
repairing and protecting the various old
boundary stones marking the separating
line of the District of Columbia from Mary
land. Such legislation has been suggested
by a number of patriotic citizens, and
meets with the hearty approval of Commits
sioner mcfarland. The other two Com
missioners have the proposition under con-
sideration. Just what sum will be re-
quired for the purpose has not been def
niteIy settled, but it is believed $1,000
would be sufficient.
The most recent information about the
deplorable condition of the old stones and
an appeal for an appropriation, was re-
ceived by the Commissioners today from
Fred. E. Woodward. He stated that sew
eral of the boundary stones are in a very
precarious condition, and are so situated
that as time passes they will be subjected
to more serious injury
