EX-CONVICT ADDS TO HIS CONFESSION

Baby Waldo Insanity Plea Probable
Defense in Case of Rogers

I through the front door. The key
young Rogers had given him, however,
refused to unlock the door and he was
obliged to give up the attempt. The
absence of Mr. Rogers from home the
following night and the presence OF
young VIII Rogers in the house pre-
sented an admirable opportunity for
carrying out the plot. Virgins and
Rogers availed themselves of it.
1t is rumored that young Rogers
probable defense will be insanity. He
has remarked to some of the officers
that he believes he was insane when
he plotted the crime and put it into
execution. Throughout the ordeals of
last night and today he has remained
cool and collected, however, showing
his remarkable nerve. His only soli-
citation is for his parents, whose sor-
row he feels keenly, knowing that his
crime has brought upon them the
greatest anguish.
The father and mother of the boy
are Frustrated. Both received atten-
tions from physician last night and
today. Either is likely to break un-
der the strain at any moment. A. T..
Rogers, ir., the brother of the kid
naper, is bowed down with grief. He
was among the last to believe the
terrible truth and did not give 1t
credence until the last possible doubt
had been dispelled
This morning the money, the aVari
cious desire for which caused the
downfall of an upright young man
and brought grief to one of the bes1
families in New Mexico, was taker

Will rogers and JOE Virgins
Waive PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
AND ARE COMMITTED TO PRISON

Virgins came to his store short
time later and demanded some more
supplies. He was refused. Word
was sent to Rogers by Virgins that
he could obtain no more supplies.
Rogers then went to Joe Danziger.
"Danziger," he said, "can you keep
a secret?"
Danziger replied that he could.
WELL" continued Rogers, quietly
get word to Joe Virgins that l want
to see him here in your store and
have a private conversation with him.
Let nobody know about the meeting
of Virgins and myself"
Danziger promised and the meeting
occurred some time last week. What
transpired when the two men met Is
not known. Danziger failed to see
anything suspicious in the meeting of
Rogers and Virgins and never told
the officers anything about it, until
last night
Geenrous credit for the arrest
of the kidnapers should be given
Captain Fornoff, Detective O'Leary,
Mounted Policeman Apolonio A. Sena,
Sheriff Romero, Cleofes Romero and
Deputy Sheriff Enrique Sena. 1t was
Fornoff who first got on Virgins
track. It was Sena who worked up
the case against Virgins and secured
his first confession. 1t was OLeary,
the trained man hunter, who advised
and assisted and was instrumental in
securing large amount of evidence
leading to the confessions of Virgins
md Will Rogers. 1t was Deputy Sher-
F Sena who discovered no tracks |
lad been left by men or horses near
where the money was alleged to have
,een paid over; evidence which point
ID strongly to Rogers guilt. 1t was
Sheriff Romero and Warden Cleofes

THEY'RE OFF in
THE Big LEAGUES
THOUSANDS OF ROoTERs LET
LOOSE TODAY AT OPENING OF
BASEBALL SEASON

New York, April 12.-Play ball.
They're off in the big leagues. From
the throats of dozen umpires doomed
forth this afternoon the command
that a million baseball lovers have
been waiting for during the long
dreary baseball-less months, and the
teams of the National and American
leagues, and the American association
started on their journey for the covet-
ed championship flags. The weather
man threatened to interfere and bring
grief to the fans in a number OF cit
les. At Chicago the lovers of the
national game this morning looked
grumpily at the rain soaked streets.
So did the rooters at st. Louis, Gin
cinnati and Louisville; while at Wash
ington, where President Taft has
been in training for the purpose OF
pitching the first ball from his box
in the new concrete grandstand, over
cast skies and the prediction OF rain
brought gloom to the hearts of the
baseball enthusiasts. But in the other
cities of the big leagues conditions
were favorable and there were tre-
mendous crowds at the opening
games. In the National league, Brook
|lyn played at Boston; St. Louist at
Chicago; Philadelphia at New York,
and Pittsburg at Cincinnati. In the
American league Boston opened at
Washington; Chicago at Detroit;
Cleveland at st. Louis, and New York
at Philadelphia.
