BECKY ROGERS' INSANITY PLEA IS THREATENED State Alienist Declares Co-Ed Bandit Stole to Pay Debt. By United Press NEW BRAUNFELS. Tex.. Sept. 17. The carefully erected defense that Rebecca Bradley Rogers, co-ed bank bandit, was insane when she robbed the Farmers’ National bank of Buda. Tex of SI,OOO in 1926. was threatened today by rebuttal# witnesses for the District Attorney Fred Brundell hammered away at the insanity plea while Mrs. Rogers’ lawyer-husband. Otis, hardly recovered from an extended illness, voiced objection after objection. Brundell listened almost a week to scores of defense witnesses. With a monotony that came to have emphasis, they testified Becky was, in their opinions, insane. Then the district attorney was waved to the floor by the young lawyer, who had gone through two other legal encounters in his efforts to free Becky of the charge of stealing SI,OOO shortly after she married him while they were students at the University of Texas. Brundell called Dr. J. S. Wooten. Austin, Tex., alienist. Dr. Wooten testified he had been asked to examine the young wife and subjected her to exhaustive mental tests. “I told Rogers then,” the alienist said, “I could be of no help to him in defending Mrs. Rogers on a plea of insanity.” Under questioning by Brundell and the shouted objections of Rogers. Dr. Wooten declared he believed Mrs. Rogers robbed the bank to pay a debt he knew her to owe a Dr. Ramsdell, then secretary of the State Historical Society. Rogers contended there was no motive for the act of which his wife was accused, saying she was employed, while he himself was practicing law, and that she was not in need or money. Brundell’s testimony was obtained despite almost constant defense objections. It was believed the district attorney would complete the rebuttal and attorneys might begin final pleas -to the jury in a night session. The state is asking a penitentiary sentence under the charge, which is punishable in Texas by death. HEALTtTwORKERS GO TO TUBERCULOSIS PARLEY
