A New York Paper Declares That
Two Deputies Held the Ro0e Taut
While the Woman Was Strangled
to Death—The Rope 8tretched and
Her Feet Touched the Floor.
New York, Dec. 13—Since Satur
day considerable attention has been
given the story published fac a New
York paper by William Hotter,
which the official announcement
the execution of Mary Rogers *
Windsor, Vt., is emphatically denied
and the sensational announcement
made that the woman was not hang,
ed ,but strangled to death by two
deputies; that the hanging was badly
bungled and when the trap was
sprung the rope was so long as to al
low the woman's feet to rest on the
floor. The paper says.
The hanging was bungled.
An imperfect strand of rope
used .which, when subjected tft-:
full weight of the woman’s' »
stretched and sagged; her feet 8^^.
ed the floor, her form doubled- dp
spasmodically, and to put a quick Mid
to the sickening spectacle two depu
ty sheriffs seized the rope and, drag
ging the body free from the grbttAd,
held It suspended until life whs lex-
tlnct.
She died ,not on the crosstree of
a gallows, hut suspended In the air at
the end of a rope held taut by the
hands of ghastly faced deputies.
For fourteen and one half minutes
this horrible scene lasted. Then the
hands that held the rope relaxed and
the body of the dead woman dropped
down until, with the feet resting
lightly on the floor, the frame slowly
bent backward and was only pje*
vented from falling in a heap to
floor by the knotted rope about the
throat. |
After the hanging strenuous
were made by the cffl&alf
to keep the detai|%p£flie b»
BROTHER KILLED BY
It was the Second Fight In Which
Sumter County Brothere had En
gaged, In Which Pistols Were used.
Coroner Goes to the Scene for an
’ Inquest
Amerlcus, Ga., Dec. 14—Melg Pow
ell, a farmer 22 years old, shot and
Instantly killed his brother, Thomas
Powell, last night at their home In
ie country near Amerlcus
The homicide Is supposed to have
been the result of a former disagree
ment between the brothers, wherein
Thomas Powell received a pistol
wound In the arm. The first difficul
ty was suppressed and only recently
became public.
Yesterday the Powell brothers came
to Amerlcue and upon returning home
late last evening the tragedy resulted,
Thomas Powell receiving a bullet In
his brain
Coroner Duckworth Is at the Pow
ell home tonight conducting an In-
vcstlgation of the homicide, and the
details in the case are not ye} known
here.
Thomas Powell leaves a family.
Both men stand very well In their
community

Ing one of Ayer’s Pills nt h*!cHI»>
In- the ^pfllcial report pi
given out It was stated that “there
were no sensational incidents In con
nection with the hanging.” Mrs. Rog
ers’ execution was declared to be
“free from harrowing incidents.” It
was admitted that “the woman’s feet
barely touched the floor for an in
stant,” but the impression conveyed
was that the hanging was devoid of
sensational or untoward incident.
The newspaper correspondent has
positive confirmation of the facts
stated In the opening paragraphs of
this article.
The scene when the weight of the
woman’s body stretched tne rope un
til her feet scraped on the , floor,
whereupon the frightened deputy* sher
lffs jumped to the rope, pulled It’taut
and thus held the body suspended
In the air, was a truly horrifying
spectacle.
Among those who connrm this ver
sion of the hanging Is former Judge
Charles A. McCarthy, of counsel for
Mrs. Rogers, Deputy Sheriff
who saw the whole spectacle,
!y admits the truth of Mary Rogers’
hanging to be ns stated above.
They did not cut the body down.
Tho noose was simply slipped over
her head and tho body placed In the t r pui« V l?
waiting casket.
Opinion Is divided ns to whether
the woman’s neck was broken
whether she was slowly strangled to
death while held suspended In the
air by the three deputy sheriffs. The
official report states that “her neck
was broken at the second ccrvl8|‘ver-
tebra by the fall, and she lost*<con-
sclousness instantly.*• **
HELP TO INDICT BROTHER.
