THE SUN, SUNDAY, AUGUST 1, 1915.
MRS. WALTERS WED
TO LORLYS ROGERS
Woman .Who Killed Hor Two
Children Is Married in
Jersey City.
TRIALS NOT AFFECTED
Lortys Elton rioters, once an actor,
now a lawyer, and Ida finlffen Walters,
who Ut December administered to her
If and their two children n done of
bichloride of mercury which kilted the
children and almost ended her own life,
were married liy l'ollce Judge James P.
Dolnn yesterday afternoon In Jersey
City. The ceremony waa performed ex
actly twenty-four hours after City Clerk
Michael I. Kagen Rave them u marriage
license In his private office. The wed
1 dins; If not a surprise to their friends or
to the county officials here conotrned
In their tangled romance, but It wai
hastened becauso Mrs. Rogers will
shortly become a mother again.
The couple are out on ball on separate
charges growing out of Hotrcrs's love
mtfalrs he on an Indictment under, the
o-called State white slave statute and
he on n charge of murdering the two
children she bore to Rogers while he was
till wedded to his second wife,. Mrs.
Caroline Olddlngs Rogers. Tho latter
obtained a dual divorce decreo only
last Thursday, Rogers was forbidden
by tho court to remarry In this State,
and his bride of yesterday when sho was
freed on ball by Justice Hartow S.
Weeks was warned not to leave the
Jurisdiction of the Stuto. Owing to the
circumstances, however. It Is not likely
that any action win be taken against
her on that score.
Rogers's thlnl bride was scarcely
tnore than a shadow of her former self.
A nurse, one of the witnesses nt the
simple civil marriage ceremony, attends
her constantly. She Is highly nervous
and delicate and It Is thought that per
haps the legal ceremony was quickened
in order to afford her mind the satisfac
tion of knowing that her child would
bear a father's name.
Rogers ttoothra Ilia llrlilr.
Rogers on the other hand Is the same
polished Southerner, rather ruddy of
face now, showing all gentleness to the
woman who caused the cxposuro of his
former double life. He comforted her
at every point, especially when she suil
tanly burst Into tears and sobs when
the newspaper photographers snapped
her picture.
They had a long three hour wait In
the office of I. Vaerbor Ooldenhorn, a
lawyer associate of Rogers, who helped
them get a license In secret late Friday
afternoon, before Magistrate Dolan
would perform the ceremony. New Jer
sey marriage laws require the expiration
of twenty-four hours between the Is
suance of the license and the marriage.
Originally they planned to get married
at 2 o'clock and leave town without
newspaper notoriety. They reached Mr.
Ooldenhorn's office at IS Exchange place
about 1 :30 o'clock. Mr. Ooldenhorn had
tried first to get Magistrate Charles
O'Brien to marry them, but the latter
refused. At his home It was said that
ha had telephoned his refusal to Dis
trict Attorney Francis Martin of The
Bronx as well as to Mr. Ooldenhorn, and
that he had gone to Rockland La'kn.
Judge Dolan arrived about 4 :15 and
the ceremony .was over ten minutes later.
Ha used the simple civil marriage pro
cedure, Incidentally Including the word
"obey." The witnesses were Joseph
Greenberg of 412 Newark street, Ilo
boken: Goldonharn's clerk, and Mm.
Rorers's nurse. Miss Theresa GallagehK'J
ew are extremely happy," Rogers
aid after the ceremony, "eW are very
grateful that this tage has been reached.
There has never Men a time when at the
moment thai I could marry her I would
not have done so. A nd you oan say for
me that when these cases (the charges
against both In The Ilronx) re tried.
If they ever are tried, this marriage will
not Interfere with the testimony of either
of us. We shall testify Just as freely
a If there had been no marriage."
Roarers to Practise Again.
"Our honeymoon will be sptnt In New
Tork State. I cannot tell you where.
We won't stay In Jersey ,Clty. I am
Coins; to practise law again when these
affairs blow over, but 1 do not think It
would be dignified to take up profes
sional practice at this time. No, I am
not engaged In any other business or
profession. There Is nothing, however,
to prevent my practising law right
way."
During the marriage ceremony Mrs.
Rogers's nervousness was mnr.- appar
ent than before. When Judge Dolan
put the usual questions to her Rogers
had to lean close to her and repeat them
to her before her whispered answer
reached the Judge's ears. Tho newly
married couple hoarded a tube train to
New York. Although both gave, thejr
address to City Clerk Fi.ran ns Stif
fs, N. Y It Is believed they have been
living In this city.
Dr. W. O. Hague, tho physician who
attended Mrs. Rogers In the Lebanon
Hospital after she and her two children
wallowed bichloride of mercury, was
responsible for the opinion that Rogers
and she were married at this time be
cause of her nervous state of mind and
the quieting effect the marriage would
have on her mind.
District Attorney Martin, who secured
the Indictment of both Hoers and tho
then Mrs, Walters, said that tho court
had expressly forbidden Mrs. Rogers to
leave the State. He asserted that ho
could. If he wished, bring the woman
to court for contempt and have her
bond set aside or Increased. It Is
highly probale that he will do neither.
He Insists though that the marriage of
Rogers at this late dato to the mother
of his two children, whoso murder It
charged to her, will not quaHh the white
lave charge against him, Mr. Martin
declared that the marringo had nothing
to do with the question of guilt or
Innocence,

Last month Gonzales drove Zapata

ROOT'S SPEECH
MAY SHAKE DP
THE OLD GUARD
Continued from Firit Papt.
directly to the Governor as tho executive
head of the State.
Opposition Is made to this plan upon
the ground that we may womeitlmes have
another Sulzer In the Gubernatorial
chair. To this It Is replied that If the
cfllca of Governor will get real power
nnd dignity and a term of oftlce long
enough to enable the Governor to master
the manifold duties of his office It
will prove attractive to the best men In
the Stato and thecjianee of another
Sulzer would be reduced to a negligible
quantity, and they say that If a man of
the Sulzer type should again be elected
the very power and responsibility with
which he would be clothed would deter
him from the abuses of power which are
now possible.
It Is noticeable that the advocates of
tho proposed plan include all of the dele
gates who have hart any experience In
tho Federal Government and who have
thus become conversant with the great
Improvement which follows upon effect
ive organization and terms of nfllce
long enough to permit the incumbent to
acquire knowledge of his duties and
carry out a doflnlte policy.
The opponents of tho plan are largely
men who have served In the Stat
legislature and who are Jealous of In
terference by the Governor with the pre
rogatives of the legislative branch, not
primarily designed for the benefit of the
public
The fundamental question Involved
In whether or not a majority of the
delegates will unite In an attempt to
systematize and make efficient the State
government, or whether they will con
tinue the present system.
On this Issue Senator Root and his
supporters express treat confidence of
being nhlo to win. They feel that
when the people come to understand
Just what the present situation Is and
just what Is proposed popular pressure
will be brought to bear upon the dele
gates who now waver In their support
which will Induce them to finally cast
their lots for the new system.
What the attitude of the Democrats
will be on tho question Is not yet known,
although Judgo Dykeman of Rrooklyn,
who was tho Democratic member of the
sub-commltee of the Tanner committee
along with Mr. Tanner and Mr. Stlm
sen, wrvj draftee! the reorgaplzatlon plan,
l enthusiastically In favor of It. Hut
ex-Gov. Olynn Is not.
"Consolidation of some departments,"
said Mr. Glynn, "can be made with
much advantage to the State. For In
stance a consolidation Into one depart
ment of the officers of State Engineer,
Superintendent of Public Works, State
Architect and State Commissioner of
Highways would prove most economical
and would result In more efficiency,
"There are sound reasons why the
management of our Insane nnd chari
table institutions should be placed under
one administration head,
"Tho State Tirx Commission, except as
It acts as a State Hoard of Assessors,
h only an excuse for more Jobi.
"While tho reasons for consolidating
these several departments are compell
ing from the standpoint of economy and
effective sorvlce, any consolidation
which would permit the Qovernor to use
them to build up a great political ma
clilno ought not to be made,
"The creation of a dangerous political
power would bo by far too great a price
to pay for llie saving secured.
"If the Constitutional Convention
should provide for theso three great de
partments they should be made Inde
pendent of the power of the Governor.'
DOESN'T CLAIM ISLAND.
Col. .1 nn n Gives Ills View of Ills
Occupancy of It.
Col. William D. Mann, editor of Town
7oplo, against whom the Btat Conser
vation sCoramlaalon has a tailed aa aetloa
-Puts
Oen. Flerro's Vllllsta column, which by
forced marches waa able to occupy
Pachuca. Instead of sending a small
force against Flerro, Oonzalcs decided
to Inflict a crushing blow that would
eliminate Flerro as a future menaco
when tha capital waa reoccuplcd,
"The plan proved eminently success
ful, though misunderstood and misrepre
sented by those not taken Into Gon
zales's confidence. Having retaken
Pachuca, routed and dispersed the VII
list as, Oonzalea then returned, and his
forces under Oen. Lechuga reoccupled
Mexico city last night.
"Food supplies are being rushed from
farious directions. There Is great re
joicing here."
The second telegram referred to tho
efforts of tha Constitutionalists to pre
serve order In Mexico city. It follows :
"Oen. Oonzalea court-martlallcd and
shot a lieutenant, a corporal and two
privates for violating his order enforc
ing respect of persons and property.
"Reports alleged to havo been sent out
by Consul Canada that hundreds of
Americans have complained of robbery
and destruction of property and that
many troops are arriving here and
transports are being loaded for flight
are absolutely without foundation. On
the contrary, supplies are being shipped
for Obregon."
U. S. TO ACT IN 10 DAYS.
Will Attain Demand That .Mexican
Chiefs Hold Conference.
Wasiiinoton, July 31. Tho first step
of tho Wilson Administration In Its re
newed effort to restore order In Mexico
will be probably taken within ten days.
It Is understood to bo tho purpose of
tho Secretary of Stato again to demand
on the part of the United States that
the Mexican chieftains enter Into a con
ference with n view to tho selection of a
leader or group to set up a provisional
government.
It Is taken for granted that Villa.
Zapata and other leaders Identified with
the Vllllsta movement will onco more
give ncqulesccnse to the settlement of
Mexico's trouble by such means. Car
ranaa, on the other hand, probably will
refuse assent to any plan that contem
plates his elimination.
With the refusal of Carranza to enter
Into any conference with Villa on terms
of peace, tho Administration probably
will nt once shut off tho First Chief's
supply of arms and ammunition: coln
cldentally. It ts expected, certain power
ful leaders, some of them not now ac
tive In Mexico, will form a group, select
a provisional President and with tho
moral support of the United States move
on Mexico city.
This Is tho tentative, plan devised, It
It understood by Mexican leaders. The
prediction Is made that If this plan can
be executed as expeditiously as this Gov
ernment has been led to believe Car
ranza's days In Mexico nro numbered.

LEGAL MURDER, SAYS
SING SING OFFICIAL
Deputy Warden Charles II.
Johnson Calls Prison Hu
man Slaughter House.
WOULD END EXECUTIONS
OsstNlNO, July 31. Deputy Warden
Charles II. Johnson of Sing Sing prison
was opposed to capital punishment long
before his duty required him to show
his personal friend. Charles Becker, to
the electric chair, but the execution of
Ilecker moved Mr, Johnson to speak
strongly to-day. To his mind, capital
punishment Is murder, even though tho
State takes life.
"Ilecker has been killed," he aald to
day, "but what possible good 'has been
accomplished by killing htm? I sat
with Becker from 1:30 A. M. until
4 :30 A. M and we talked of many
things, for Uockor was an Intelligent
man, who had Ideas to express. And
then, an hour nnd a quarter nftcr our
long talk, 1 killed him. How can that
be justified?
"Many persons still believe that capi
tal punishment Is a deterrent to crime.
But how can that bo proved positively?
It is only b guess, an Inference, nt
best. They killed tho four gunmen up
here for tho purpose of deterring others
from murder, but only a few days later
other gunmen killed a citizen of New
York.
"The whole thing Is Illogical. The
Stato tells the Individual, 'Thou shall
not kill' and then Immediately does col
lectively what It will not permit an In
dividual to do. It killed Decker, and In
doing so did Mrs. Decker more harm
even than If It had killed her too. It Is
nil brutality and plain murder, this
archalo theory of on eye for an eye, a
tooth for u tooth, u life for a life.
"Whcro Is the spirit of Christianity
apparent In such procedure? We are
supposed to be a Christian nation, a
Christian commonwealth, but we havo
not displayed any Christianity In mur
dering Charles Decker. In the cells of
the dimth house are men awaiting exe
cution twenty-three of them. Their
health l sedulously protected. Their
smallest aches and pains are quickly at
tended to. Why? Merely that they may
be In prime condition when tho btate Is
ready to kill them. This place Is a
human slaughter house and totally out
of harmony with the civilization of the
twentieth century."
Mr. Johnson has formed his ldean
htrongly on the subject for the reason,
probably, that circumstances have com
pelled him to tako charge of executions
since Warden Thomas Mott Osborne has
ben at the head of tho prison. Mr. Os
borne's detestation of oalptat punishment
Is so pronounced that he will not appear
In the death chamber when the hour
comes for condemned men to walk to the
electrla chair.
A few mlmries before Decker waa
executed on Friday morning Mr. Os
borne left the prison and went for a
wnlk. Therefore It fell to Charles H.
Juhnsun, Harvard, '02, and an enthusi
astic worker In the cause if bettering
social conditions, to superintend the
death of Decker, ns he had directed the
execution of six others since last Janu
ary. Decker and the negro, Sam H.iyues,
mado the number eight, and In the
course of tho next few months It will
be Mr. Johnson's duty to direct the exe
cution of at least eighteen persona.
"I could evade the dreadful duty by
quitting my place," he said, "hut that
I shall nt do. prison work Is my life
work. There are In this place great
opportunities for doing good, and these
opportunities I shall continue to seek.
If I quit the executions would not stop

'MURDERED BY GOVERNOR,'
WORDS ON BECKER COFFIN
Continued from Firit Page.
Charles Decker shared his police graft.
What actually did happen, says Man
ton, who was counsel for Decker, was
that the Governor asked him If Decker
oould "give anything on tho present
municipal administration." Mr. Manton
says he told the Oovcrnor that would
have to be learned from Uecker, and as
serts that the Governor went on to men
tion four namea, three belonging to men
"who aro not now Importnnt," but ono
of whom la now holding a high office In
the city's government,
Mr. Manton, who on Friday sent a
telegram to the Oovcrnor, demanding to
know whether Oov, Vrhrtman had Bald
what Albany despatches quoted him as
saying In rtgnrd to Mr. Manton's Inter
view with him, failed to receUc an
answer yesterday morning, so ho tele
phoned to his office directions to make
his statement public, "as he had given
the Governor plenty of time to answer
It."
Manton's Statement.
This Is tho statement:
"The World yesterday morning In a
despatch from' Albany attributes this
statement to Gov, Whitman s
" "To Decker's denial that ho had
agreed to make revelations of graft
ing, the Governor said Martin T. Man
ton had given him u statement con
taining the names of five men, two
dead and throe living, who were Im
plicated in tho grafting.'
"Immediately on reading it I Inquired
by telegraph addressed to the Governor
whether he had actually used this
language. Ills failure to answer renders
It necessary that I should stato exactly
what happened during tho Interview to
which he refers.
"I had sought the Governor for the
purpose of asking him, In view of the
fact that ho was the prosecutor who
had brought about Decker's conviction,
to take the advice of somo eminent
citizen concerning the action that should
be taken by him as Governor with re
spect to enforcing tho sentence of death.
"Coupled with this I stated that
Decker would answer any questions
that might be propounded to him by
such commissioner,
quotes the Gm-rrnnr.
"The Governor said :
"Manton. ou need not answer this
unless you want to. but can Decker
give me anything on this municipal ad
ministration? "I said 'I do not know. You had
better got that nt first hand from
Decker's Hps.'
"He then went on to mention four
names, three of which he said were
of men who aro not now Important,
but ono was that of n person actually
holding high office In the city govern
ment. "Concerning that one he said, "Did
he (mentioning his name) have any
thing to do with this?'
"I said 'I do not know, Ilecker had
never told me, but he said he will an
swer any questions your commissioner
will ask him.'
"He said he would take all this un
der ndvlsement. This subject was not
referred to at tho second Interview,
when he simply announced his refusal
to appoint a commissioner nnd at the
same tlmo granted Decker a reprieve
to afford an opportunity for asking
for n writ of error from the Supreme
Court to bring up for review the Judg
,ment ponounced against him.
"It would give needless pain to the
persons mentioned to give the names
to which tho Governor referred."

alleged grafters, but he did say that In
return for ft commutation of sentence
Decker would glvo evldenco against live
men.
"Mr. Manton gave mo tho names In
confidence," said thn Governor, 'And as
I could not nccept Decker's offer I can
not reveal them. I am not certain as
to tho exact number, but ns I recall It
he named flvo men, threo of whom are
living.
"After Mr. Manton had made thi
statement to mo ho had something to
eay about my making the names public,
and my reply was that It was up to Mr.
Manton to give out the names he had
mentioned to me If ho cared to mako
them public. I said he had my permis
sion to do so. I could not do It because
I had given my word to him that I
would not.
"I shall have nothing further to say
about the Decker case. Ko far as I am
Concerned the case Is closed. The man
was guilty and he paid tho penalty'
On July 3 the newspapers quoted Mr.
Manton ns saying that he had carried a
story to the Governor which the Gover
nor had shown no Inclination to follow
up. He said he would be liable for
punishment If ho mado the story public,
ns Decker had stipulated that no one
wns to hear It but the Governor. Mr.
Manton added :
"If I made public the names such pub
lication might bring falsely accused
men Into the case."
And the next day Gov. Whitman said:
"Mr. Manton gave me no Information
whatever relative to graft or to the
murder of Rosenthal. He dirt state to
me substantially that he believed that
Decker could Involvo In the Infamous
system of police blackmail of which ho
was a pnrt three or four persons, men
tioning their names."

The anawer ia obvious when you knew the

It'a simply because, regardless of price reduction,
regardless of new models, there la no other car
of such superior character at a similar price.

RILEY STRIPS OSBORNE
OF 132 MORE CONVICTS
Transfer Hclicved liennwal of
Old Fight While Wnitlcn
Is in Trouble.
OsatNtNd, July 81. In an order rs.
celved at Sing King prison to-day from
Stipt. John U. Riley directing that
132 convicts be sent to other pnj.
ons attaches saw a new dig at Wurdsn
Thomas Mott Osborne, who has oprM
such transfers. The order caused a r.m
rumor that Osborne contemplated re.
signing,
Supt. Riley ordered that slxty-s x tt
the Mutual Welfare I.engue member !,
sent to Auburn and sixty-six to ur .it
Meadow prison at Cnmstock. It, Vj
Idea wus to put an end to the p! (
of two convicts In a cell. It was r n
practice that drew the first attack iftm
Osborne from Rltcy three weeks r It
also caused criticism from the Mitt
Prison Commission.
The prisoners are to go an,v on
Monday or Tuesday. The attache-, ot
the prison believe that Osborne mil try
to prevent the departure of the jlj
convicts. They think he will open u new
dormitory In the cart and wagon bii'M
Ing, which Riley has refused to .h no
tion. As the prison population Is l.tOn th
removal of tho 132 would leave or.I
1.40S convicts. For theso there noilj
be ample room without nny "donhi tj
up." In the ps,Bt removals were not
ordered unless there was a prison p .pu.
latlon of from 1,700 to 1.100,
The belief hero Is that Osborne kt ally
displeased Gov. Whitman because lie mi
not prevent Joseph Murphy mid other
convicts from entering the death I,, uw
to see Charles Decker. Riley, t Is
thought, Is taking advantage of the
warden's present dlsfuvor to renew an
old attack upon him.
If Osborne means to resign he ha told
nobody In authority ut tho prison Ihe
warden Is at Saratoga. lie Is exp .d
to return to tho prison on Monday ,,nj
