Mary Rogers was deeply loved b >

her husband Tiring of her Ufo withthis quiet unpretentious man sheleft him In her unfortunate life thatfollowed In Bennlngton she met ayouth barely 17 years old by thename of Leon Perham a half breedIndian who became enamoured ofher Perham wanted to marry her

that1butwell known citizen of Bennlngtonwho however was not aware of herpassion for him As a woman of thestreet she knew she could not winhim and In her simple way bethoughtthat once In possession of her hus-bands
