Mary Malile Rogers became a wife at the age of sixteen, a murderess at nineteen and was hanged when only twenty one years of age. She killed her young husband while kissing and caressing him, after hav ing secured his consent for her to tie his hands “Just for fun." Her case has been in court three years .during which time she (had twice been face to face with tho gal lows, each time being reprlved. It is estimated that in all her peti tions more than half a million women of the United States have attached their signatures. A new petition con taining 43,000 names was presented Just before her execution. In declining to stop the execution Friday, Governor Bell said: “I know of no law that is not as much for a woman as it is for a man. For me to meddle in this case would place me as executive of the state of Ver mont in a ridiculous position." Mrs. Rogers cunningly planned the deatn of her husband and fiendishly and treacherously executed it. She Bent for him to come to see her. They had boon separated. She promised to remain with him, nnd whllo she kissed him, she tfed his hands, chlo roformed him and rolled his body Into the river, forging his namo to n note In which It was stated that ho had killed himself. It was tho hand writing that led to tho wife’s arrest and conviction. A NEW GOVERNOR. South Georgia Shrlnors at their Valdosta banquet talked politics as well as frattrnallsm.
