Prospect of Early Trial
Non Cheers Ida Walters
Hope of Acquitta Brings Also Promise That Coming

By ELEANOR TOOTH SIMMONS.

staring her in the face would be un-
boarable."
When | saw Mrs. Walters yesterday
she had been undergoing a hard two
hours examination by two allenists,
DR.. Graeme Stewart and DR.. Gregory,
head Of the psychopathic ward at Belle
vue Hospital. The ordeal had left her
completely unnerved, and Mr.. Rogers,
who is with her every minute OF the
time that prison rules will permit,
talked for her. And another man who
talked for Mrs. Walters, though 1t
wasn't with her that saw him, but
downstairs in the lobby Of the jail, was
Sheriff O'Brien, who declared to me
that if Everybody knew the case as he
knew it" she would be free to-day.
She is woman Of the highest
ideals he said. There is no doubt
that she was temporarily insane when
she gave the bichlorde of mercury to
her little ones. understand that Rog-
ers was having difficulty in securing
his divorce from Mrs. Caroline Gid
dings Rogers. Mrs. Walters, fearing he
could he unable 10 marry her, was over
taken by melancholy and felt there was
nothing but death for her. And the in
stinctive feeling of the mother was TO
take her children with her. Most
mothers would feel that way. There
were two little ones with no father.
What would they do in the world with
no mother, either? So she gave them
the poison, too.
Mr.. Rogers's devotion to the mother
OF his children seems TO have won
Sheriff O'Brien's admiration, too.
"That man and woman are soul
mates. That's what they are-mcant
for each other" declared the Sheriff,
who evidently has a lot of romance I'M
der his burly exterior. Rogers
we'll, he may have peculiar ideas about
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-05-06

social procedure, but he's wrapped up
in that woman. He's here at 1880 in
the morning always with n book or =
flower or something TO give her. and
he stays several hours, and comes
again in the afternoon and evening.
IF she was Harry Thaw she couldn't
be treated better" he declared. "And
III tell you another thing. Whatever
happened. her child wouldn't be born
in jail. II she were in my custody
when the time came she would be
transferred to hospital"
Mrs. lnez Milholland Boissevain,
lawyer and suffragist, thinks there
should be no more delay in the case
81 believe in carly trials, not only
for Mrs. Walters, but for all accused"
Mrs. Bossevain told me. 81 have
somewhere in my lies a heap Of clip
pings of cases where prisoners have
been kept for months in jsil-and
then found innocent. Whatever the
final verdict may be, no case should
be permitted to lag.
There are several reasons Ter the
laws delays. Judges may be rather
lazy. 1t wouldn't hurt them to sit
little longer each day, say from 10 TO
3, though. of course, a judges work
doesn't end with the days session.
"The greatest cause of sloUness is
in the machinery of the law itself. II
is so OVERLAND with technicalities and
ponderous methods Of procedure that
it can scarcely go. By degrees il will
slough these of, and then a woman
like Mrs. Walters won't have 10 wait
weeks and months TO know her fate"
Sheriff O'Brien declares it TO he his
firm conviction that Mrs. Walters will
be acquitted. "They can't convict that
woman now" he told me. And il she
is acquitted, she will unquestionably
become Mr. Rogers's wife, for he has
declared his intention to marry her
when free from his former wife, and
this freedom was granted yesterday
when Justice Giegerich signed the in.
terlocutory decree in the divorce suit
brought by Mrs. Caroline Giddings
Rogers against Lorlys Elton Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers is forbidden to marry
again in this state, but if ths woman
who is waiting in the chapel of The
Bronx Jail to-day is freed by the
courts, he can take her to another
state and give what reparation he can
by making her his wife in name as
well as in fact"

the Bronx County Jail, turned into
temporary cell for Mrs. Ida Snifen
Walters by Sheriff James A. O'brien'
and with the addition OF wicker rock
ing chair and bed and table not at all
an uncheerful place.
Then, standing by the bed. | saw n
tall Young woman with a sad, sad face,
pale and fixed under her brown hair,
and realized that il "stone walls do
not a prison make" neither can sun
light and comforts make q prison not
a prison. or take the grief and terror
from the mind of the woman who, made
motherless by her own wild act, looks
forward from under the shadow OF an
indictment for murder to the birth OF
another child.
But a raw OF another sort OF light
struck Yesterday through the night
that encompasses Mrs. Walters, and
that was the certainty of an early
trial. The date Of the opening is set
almost positively for MAY IA. II will
surely be about that time, and both
sides intend that il shall be a speedy
trial, so when the expected child comes,
four months from now. one way or an
other the mother will know her fate.
"An early trial is what we have
wanted from the first, Lorlys Elton

Opportunities.

In our individual life there como opportunities, which we may miss be- ca1se we have such false standards by which we judge things. We wait for the great event and for the great oc' casion, and We call that great which makes big splash in the world, Or. when the trial comes we shrink from iI through false modesty, saying ta ourselves that some other more worthy instrument should be chosen. If our general attitude were right, we woulS see the meaning of all that is called opportunity. We are not alive to tho gracious possibilities of the unregard' ed chances of every day.

WHEAT AND CORN PRICES DECLINE
 AFTER ADVANCE

Chicago, Aug. 3.-After a hesitating start, wheat advanced today, influ enced by reports from North Dakota that black rust was developing fast. Near Fargo, where recently there had been no trace of the rust, a large area was said to be now badly af- fected. Lower quotations from Liver pool tended to weaken the market here at the opening, and so, too, did prospects ot clearing weather in the domestic winter crop belt. Opening prices, which ranged from 1c decline to o-Sc advance, were followed by moderate rise above last nights lev el all around.
 Corn buying was stimulated by a good shipping demand from the East jand as result of upturns in wheat. Country offerings were light. Prices opened 1-SMAc to 3-Sm 1ac higher and seemed inclined to hold at about that range.
 Excessive rain spelling the harvest brought about decidedly higher values for oats. There were many complaints that quality of shipments would be poor.
 Aggressive selling weakened provi- sions. Higher prices on hogs were ignored
 Weakness developed later in wheat, owing to slowness of export inquiry and because of warmer temperatures in the Canadian northwest, where, yesterday, there was frost. The close was unsettled, F M3-4c under last night.
 Later the corn market reacted somewhat with wheat. The close was at the same as last night to Ac down.

What Scandal la

Of scandal, the New Republic writes: There are few of us who do not enjoy this sense of really know. Ing what's what. It extends our ex. perience, and gives us vicarious i'm. portance. If we cannot live great passions, we can at least read about Mime Du Barry's bOudoir; if we can net be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge Of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peo- ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip is perhaps a genuine primi- tive art in whicz there Is interest through pity and fear and pride and joy. One woman leaves her husband: . hundred women chatter about 1t, and their passionate interest might make a cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emn' tons of a great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam radiators. Gossip Is ex-
 perience without responsibility. It is 8 means of taking part in inter- esting or important events without any of the risk that comes of being an actor in them. Gossip, in short,
 is tho pleasure ot the spectator ct the
 business c. ltfe."
