The Case of Mrs. Rogers.
The Question as to Whether
She shall Hang for the
Murder of her Husband
now up to the Governor
of Vermont.
The Hupremo court of (lie Unit
ed States has refused to intervene
in the csiao nl \1 r? IMmtv*
Rogers, of Vermont, under sentence
of death tor the murder of
her husband; and it appears that
she must hang on Decc mber 8th.
Either that or the governor of the
state must assume the responsibility
of commuting her pari in
mcntA
great deal of discussion, pro

woman hoti! I he hanged, has an

reviews during the last lew
months, apropos the case of Mrs.
Rogers. No arguments !. ive been

The horror of having to say the
word that sets a fellow creature
to dancing "with nimble feet,"
"upon the air" must be poignant
enough when that tellow creature
is a man. And how much more
keen when it is a woman who is
caught in law's "iron gin!" Who
wants to b1 the man singled out
from all men to say that such a
woman because she has sinned
shall go to this repulsive death ?
d'nibtly repulsive because she is
