Mother Declares Girl Was in
Austin, Texas, When
Blaze Was Started.

BB Chifed Press
GEORGETOWN, Texas, Sept. %.
In spite of Identification of Mrs.
Rebecca Bradley Rogers, former CO.
ed, in connection with incendiary
burning of a building in Round
Rock, Texas, defense attorneys di-
rected by her young husband today
were to continue their efforts to
prove an alibi.
Mrs. Grace Bradley, Mrs. Rogers
mother, advanced the alibi plea
shortly before the close of court yes
terday, when she testified that her
daughter met her at the Office in
which she was employed in Austin
on the afternoon of the fire.
The time of the meeting was APP
proximately the same as the time
the house in Round Rock caught
fire, Mrs. Bradley said.
Rogers Tells of Romance
Otis Rogers today abandoned
temporarily his role as chief coun-
sci and became a witness.
Rogers told the story of his ro-
nance with the girl he is trying to
save from prison.
II am proud to say she is my
wife," he said
He told of his first meeting with
the girl, and of their subsequent
friendship and marriage at George
town Courthouse Oct. %, 1925.
The Rev. j. P. Darton, former
pastor of the University Methodist
Church at Austin, was called as a
character witness for Mrs. Rogers.
He told the court she was a. model
young woman, corroborating the
testimony of Mrs. Bradley.
Identified by Four
Previously, Mrs. Rogers had been
Unidentified by four State witnesses
as Grace Lotion" who represented
herself as a newspaper reporter
from Waco when she visited the
Farmers Bank of Round Rock and
asked concerning the towns fire
habits"
1t is the State theory that Mrs.
Rogers planned to rob the bank
while employees of the institution
went to see the fire.
One Of the most positive identifi-
cations was given by j. E. Redding,
grocer, OF Austin, who said he re-
nembered Mrs. Rogers as the pur-
chaser of a can, of kerosene and
some matches on the day of the
fire. His memory was intensified
he said, by the fact she gave him
a worthless check for the purchase.
Mrs. Rogers is also under indict-
ment for robbing the State Bank
of Buda Of $1,000 on Dec. IL. In
that instance also, she was said to
have represented herself as a news
paper reporter, gained the conf
dence of the bank officials, and held
them up.
