NEGRO STUBBORNLY
HANGS TO LIFE HE
ATTEMPTED TO END

Charles Rogers, the colored man
who has fingered between life ard
death at the county hospital for three
weeks following an attempt to suicide
by drinking poison, Still lived yester-
day. The nurses and physicians
the hospital had expected that thf
man would die in spite of every care
some days ago and his condition has
become quite a puzzle.
Rogers was charged with the murder
of a soldier from the Tenth cavalry
who was shot to death in White City
resort rear Ft. H1uachuca. While
awaiting trial in the superior court
Rogers was confined in the county
iail at Tombstone and it was while
there that he drank poison. He drank
quantity Of Sani-Flush. a cleaning
and disinfectant preparation.
Deputy sheriffs have guarded the
man since his. removal to the county
hospital and three deputies have been
employed at this unpleasant and
monotonous task. While the greater
part of the time Rogers appears to
be so weak that he could not escape II
he wished, there have been other times
when his strength has returned and
when he might have fled if the guard
had been absent.
