"Boots" Stage-Struck;
Wants Chance to Appear
Sue "Boota" Rogers wouldn't
mind golnjr on the stage. She Mild so
in a little note she wrote in answer
to a query.
"If I got a Rood chnnec I would
BO on the stage," she bni'd.
"Every ono would llko to see the
'notorloitH Marie Bogers.' Don't
make me, laugh so much.
"BOOTS."
The defence fought a losing fight to
day to keep the case of Sue "Boots"
Bogers from the jury which has been
trying her in Criminal Court No. 'J
for her part in the murder of Henry T,
Fclrce. ,
Though her counsel succeeded in per
Minding Judge Atidenrled to order tho
more serious charge ugainst her that
of murder dropped by tho common
wealth, bt refused to direct an acquittal
of tho (second charge, that of being an
accessory after the fact.
The defense, failing in its attach on
the accessory charge, offered In testi
mony. "Boots" did not take the stand
in her own behalf, nor were any other
witnesses summoned.
Assistant District Attorney Hpelser,
appearing for the commonwealth, made
a strong nddress, deman.dlng that
"Boots" bo found guilty on the minor
Indictment; asserting that she had tried
to shield Peter D. Treadway, her so
called lover, and hud been willing to
sacrifice Joseph "Archie" SIoss, who
pleaded guilty Tuesday to being an ac
cessory and now awaits sentence, If by
so doing she could save the man who is
now In jail convicted of second degree
murder.
Girl Turns Sober
"Boots," who began the day with
some more of the attempted "vamping"
iiictlrs which she employed jestcrday,
liet-anio very sober-faced as sho lis
tened to the mid r ess of the district at
torney. Though she was nuiet. and
watched jliim intently, she gave no sign
of losing her nerve, and took in every
Hun! he said an attentively npd intelll
gpntly as her attorneys.
Mr. Spelser'a address wns followed
hy her counsel's closing speech, In
which ho argued that no case had been
proven, and begged the Jury to cast
prejudlco uside and decide tho case
ftiletly on" Its merits.
Judge Audenrlcd ordered a recess for
an hour after tho attorney for the dc
fi'ase was through. Tli Judge's charge
will follow, and the case will go to the
jury some time this afternoon.
"Hoots" seemed cheerful when she left
court at the noon adjournment. She was
curbing a little pair of rubber hoots
mat somo one nan given ncr joKlngly,
and said she "felt fine and was conti
deat of acquittal."
She wiir taken to tho cellroom, where
die had luncheon with her mother, Sirs.
Julius I'lanovsky, and her husband,
liohs Ilogcrs.
The crux of tho defense rested on
the fight to get the bills submitted to
tlie jury and the girl released on tho
ground there was not sufficient evidence
to hold hor.
Jury Sent From Boom
Tho commonwealth closed Its case
after only one witness, a court sfenog-
rftf'her, who read the notes of "Boots' "
testimony against Moss, had been on
the witness stand.
Immediately her attorney asked that
nc jury be sent from tho room. Sir.
epelser agreed, and Judge Audcnricd
tent them out.

Sloisehauser in the suit for divorce in
stituted against her by James A. Still

Beauvais, an Indian guide, who was
named in the bnuker's complaint as co
respondent and accused of being the
father of Sirs. Stillman's infant son,

Pleads Kecrhnlnatlons
The deols.on set forth that Mrs. Still
man had pleaded recriminations In her
nnswer to the banker's complaint and
that both husband und wife made
chnrges "founded upon nn allegation of
adultery."
"A husband or wife is not com
petent to testify against the other" on
such allegations, the declsioti said. The
justice decided that the allidavits to
which the letters were appended con
tained matters thnt Sir. Stillmnn could
not testify to. and it was upon this
ground that the communications were
barred.
lustlce Slorsehnuser pointed out thut
letter written to Sir. Stlllman b. his

charged by counsel for the banker she
