Rogers followed the expert on the stand. She is a beautiful brunette, perhaps thirty-five years old. She has black halr, dancing brown yes and a soft volee. When she took the stand Cornish, who was In the audi- ence, began tugging at his mustache nervously. He kept his eyes on the witness continuously. Mr. Osborne first questtoned Mrs. Rogers as to her present address, She sald she ved at No. 1% West Forty first street. Mr. Osborne then brought witness back to the date of the crime. Cornish turned his eyes from her to look at the audience, seat uneaally. Mrs, Rogers retold the story of the death of her mather, but her volce was so low that Jurors frequently interrupt- ed and asked her to repeat. She re- lated practically the same story told by Cornish, the death of Mrs, Adams, the culling of the doctors, the summon- ing of the coroner. She sald in one place that she “thought.” Mr. Black objected and he was sustained. As the final question of her direct ex- amination Mr, Osborne asked her: You were divorced from your hur- in rie County—through’a fault of He shifted in his Cross-Examination Began, Mra, Rogers wore a flat hat trimmod with ‘berries and leaves that matched the velvet. Her gown was of black. When Mr. Black began to talk about her first visit to New York Cornish was more restless. Mrs, Rogers was very cool. She has a round, open, frank face, and as Mr, Black ptoceedéd she ap- peared even more beautiful, Q. You are not related by blood to Harry Cognish? A. No, only oy mar- rage, Then followed questions about her per- sonal relations with Cornish. She de- nied the lawyer's inferences. She fought hard against the Intricate web belng woven by the accomplished cross-ex- aminer. “Were you not in the same house with Cornish last Saturday night and until { o'clock Sunday morning! asked Mr. Black, Mrs. Rogers fought on this. She in- sist that che was not alone with Cor- nish, @. You have been fiving in the same house with Cornish for three or four years? A. But with some one else, Cornish looked white as a sheet, He leaned back far In his chair, sank down, chowed vigorously on a wad of gum and apparently did not wish to be seen. Gov. Black continued to delve into the relations of Mrs, Rogers with Cornish, He asked about visits to Fur Rock- away, which, she sald, were made, bit that there Was alway's some one with them.

Black asked Mra, Rogers “Are you and Cornish married jo she smiled as she answered “No. She hecame serious again when Mr. Black wanted to know further about her visits to Rockaway. By Mr. Black's line of questions it was evident that Molineux’s lawyers know every move made by the rosecution’s witnesses. PMirs, Rogers admitted that when she first came to New York she secured a fat under an assumed name. It was not brought out why she had changed her name She admitted having instructed At- torney Settle two days ago to write a letter to Callahan, the letter-box man, demanding that he retract what he has told The Evening oWrld concerning her having rented a box from him under another name.

They floated about for two hours, walting in vain for help, and chilled to the bone in the high wind. Finally Morris, who was not securely tied to the others, slipped off into the water and sank.
