ROGERS III DEATH. of a ang- 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.

VALDOSTA, Ga| 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.
