THE ROGERS MURDER. J & Remarkable Statement by a Criminal in the White Ptains Jail. Some time ago, it will be remethbered, @ man named Cunningham was arrested upon a charge of bigamy preferred against him by & young woman whose acquaintance he made one day at Tarrytown, and to whom he Was married on the same evening. On the day preceding he bad married a young lady, and it was the latter miarriage that was the means of placing the festive youth where he now is—im the Westehester.County Jail, at White Plains, Jt was at the time considered very remarkable that CWO marriages should be indulged in by shy Man—even an individual of polygamic prociiviues—in so ortef a period of time as about Gurty-six hours. This man Cunningham is now reported to have made the following extraordi- nary statement of the ¢ireumstances which, he al- jeges, led to his second marriage, and which develops f most astounding theory of the plot of the Rogers murder, Of course these statements are made by a man who is now under indictment for one of the Dasest of all criminal @ffences, and may be the cre- ation of his imagination since his imprisonment, At ali, events, they should be “taken for what they are worth,’ and the responses of some of the oficials named may put the qmetus to the whole affatr:— THE STATEMEN Whe name by which lam here Known, Wilham ©, Cunningham, is not my real name, That lamnot now prepared to state. My motner isk widow lady of unquestionabie respectability, restding in Eleventh street, in the city of New York, The number of the house 1 shall not tell. I have for twenty years re- sided in the city of New York, and, owing to the re- Jattons I have sustained to the parties who com- mitted it, 1 am able to date the facts, which fully solve the mystery in which the murder of Mr, Rogers, of Twel(th street, in December last, appeara to be so inexplicably Involved. Iam, and from boy- hood up had been, well and intumately acquainted with Mitchell and James Logan No. 2, John Robert- son, Edward Riley, James Tallent, John McGibbons others, who have been for the last ten years comnected with the gang of desperadoes known as the “Nineteenth street aye of these James Logan was a particular nd of might, mdeed, say that we were bosom friends, was no*matter which he feared to confide to ie; no more was there any which I feared to confide to him. It is use of this extreme intimacy, and neither had a secret which the other did not al a Tam able to tell you as much of bis secret hi as I am about to divulge. The murder of ‘charles MI 3 was the growth of a prejudice, and that prejudice grew out cf some evidence given by Mr. rs OD atrial of Logan m New Jersey, in 1889, on a charge of burgiary, which secured Me Pgh conviction. These are the circumstances:—T! Laeenk ine was committed in rson. Mr, to over Were on the day on whic! it Was. cut Souamnisted and was detained by business anti] jate tn the night. While he was passing through e of the streets on his way bome he thought heard a rather singular poise in a closed store which he was pass- ing, and, convineéd that burglars were at work Were, notified its owner. With some pelicemen and some neighbors he surrounded the store. 1 was at that time pear the store, engaged as e Sy in behalf of those who were inside. As soon as I saw the threatening danger] notified the burglars and fed ower part of the city; returning not long al- terwards, | mingied with the crowd which had gath- ered around the store, and witnessed the arrest of my friends Logan and Robertson. They were subse- quently tried for the offence, and through the agency of Rogers mainly were convicted and sentenced to a , term of imprisonment, They served their time and, came oat. ‘the first thing which 10- gav “said to me upon our next meeting was that he had sworn revenge upon Rogers oh the of his conviction, and that noth- img but Kogers’ heart's blood "would satisfy i. A ute while subsequently Logan and Tallent were caught by Rogers at the St. Nicholes Hotel, in the ty of New York, couimitting room robberies, and he immediately bad them arrested. His trial, conviction and sentence upon this charge re.nspired Logan with bis old aniljus against Rogers. Nor did it at ail abate during the course of the term of service which, as @ result, he was condemned to spend at Stuy Sing. Froni that time forward plans were de- ‘vised and schemes were laid for the taking of his hfe. The day of that second conviction makes the commencement of the period durmg which he man. moved jut the world @ doomed For uw years these plots brought nothing of success. Among the many trusted beings whom wad gathered about him his mistress, Miss ae most 40, What of rascality he did not Know she did. She was a sort of Nancy Sikes to iim—the promoter of ajf his schemes and and the par- ticipant in all his crivaes. It may therefore, that she had a part asa lots inaugurated for the of Rogers. provided her with a suit of attire and instructed her m that @isguise to foliow lis victim means trying to find out when Rogers should have business or pieasnre on hand which would call him from the city, He desired, if possible, to avoid a murder in the city. He would commit it at some seciuded rural spot if be could ever find his victim at such # spot. The mater would in that case excite ies# attention, it ‘was thought, and be less vigorously worked up. Miss Who is a Dutchess county girl, agreed to do this work on condition that he wouid full a pro- mise made to her willle he was in prison in Sew Jersey, bot broken 43 Soon as he was rei oo | ner.

To- wards the aaron of October last Miss , inding herseif ugh her connections with Lo- gan, inbereted he her airenoer that the marriage must jakeplace Immediately. Logan refused to consent to this, and a rupture occurred between them.

At the third shot the ball from Mr. Jewell’s rifle through the coat sleeve of Mr. rie on a tue with his heart.
