Execution of Scott and Rogan.
scott's confession and autobiography. Sydney, January 20. The Wantabadgery bushrangers — Scott, alias Moonlight, and Rogan — were executed to-day. The sentence of death was carried out privately, the public being excluded. Scott's confession and autobiography have been handed to Canon Rich. It is expected they may form the subject of inquiry into the Egerton Bank robbery. They are said to implicate others in the conspiracy. Scott finally denied having shot Bowen, the constable, or being concerned in the death of Mr F. M. Bates, the actor. He ■wrote voluminously. Mrs Ames, his affianced wife, attended him to the last, and defrayed the cost of the funeral.
