the three reporters refused to sign
this report, but gave out no different
story of his own; of how the incident
leaked" out and was pounced upon
by the city yellow journals for SEN
sation, and exploited to the detriment
of Vermont and the Times queries
if the three Vermont newspaper men
really did effective service in trying
to suppress the untoward episode.
The Bennington Banner, whose edi-
tor was one of the select committee
to witness the hanging takes the mat
ter up from a different standpoint. II
alludes to the well known fact that
for weeks Governor Bell, the officials
charged with the keeping and hang
ing of Mary Rogers, the court judges
and Vermont as whole had been
subjected to insult and reproach with
out cause by lying stories in the city
newspapers. how these yellow jour
nails sent horde of lurid writer's to
see the execution, who were instruct
ed to regard to the truth; OF the anger
of these correspondents when they
found the door shut in their faces and
were compelled to take second hand
version of the hanging from Vermont
sources; of their threats to do" the
thing in their own way; of the hang
ing itself-the Banner says when the
drop fell Mrs. Rogers feet cleared the
floor by several inches and she was
held there until death came, when
the body relaxed enough to permit her
toes to sweep the floor lightly, where
upon the deputies, unduly frightened.
hurried to the rope and drew her up,
wnen the physicians pronounced her
dead of the question that confronted
the press representatives relative to
the wisdom of making this incident
known to the yellow reporters out
side, eagerly watching and hoping for
just such thing with which to de-
fame everybody connected; and Of
their final understanding that, mas
much as the execution itself had been
certainly successful, It would serve
no good purpose to report a feature
that would hardly be used to make II
appear that the execution was not
successful.
II required quick judgment on their
part, and we believe that most people
would say these reporters acted wise
ly. II was not their fault that the in
cidelt became known, and the respon-
sibility for making it public did not
rest upon them. Had it really hap
pened that the execution had been a
bungle, they could have been depend
ed on to so report Ii was not, how
ever and anything they might have
said to discredit it, even by inference
or suspicion, would have laid them
open to severe blame.-Randolph Her
