will, 1t was to go to Rogers. Thomas
Dobbs, the husband, died a few months
ago in Switzerland. Rogers, through the
newspapers, was located-in prison.
Rogers was convicted Of forgery in Is12

years. He was paroled In September, 1sl5
but broke his parole by being convicted
again Of forgery. For the second Of
