 The police authorities of Washington county are probing the mystery of the death of Andrew Rogers, whose body was found in the pine woods near Wood River Junction, relatives of the deceased believing that death was caused by murder rather than suicide, Rogers had been missing since last April and it is believed that the body had been in the woods since that time until it's discovery two weeks ago. While it is conceded that the imple- ment of death was a razor owned by Rogers, it is thought possible that it was wielded by hand other than that of Rogers, as his watch and valuables were missing and nothing of value was found on his person.
 Andrew Rogers was known to many residents of Westerly. as he was em- ployed in the Campbell & Henault mill in Main street as boss carder a dozen or more years ago.
