KIDNAPERS ARE GUILTY
Mr. and Mrs. Boyle Convicted of
Abducting Willie Whitla.
WOMAN THREATENS SUICIDE
She Declares That Life in Penitentiary
Will Not Be Indured---Mysterious
Third Party Sought.
Merc, r, Pa.- Manifesting an indif
ference to her fate, Mrs. James H.
Hoyle nat immovable as the jury re
turned it verdict of guilty on the sec
ond count of the indictment, against
her.
When the verdict was read, Mrs.
Boyle calmly drew on her gloves,
arose from their chair and went with
the sheriff back to her cell. Mr. Mil
ler, Mrs. Boyle’s attorney, has an
nounced that ho will make a motion
for anew trial. The penalty in Mrs.
Boyles case is, as a maximum, 25
years.
District Attorney Lininger has ar
ranged to go to Sharon to investigate
the identity of a third party alleged
to have been implicated in the ab
duction. No one could be found who
was in a position to discuss the mat
ter officially. It is said to be claimed
by Boyle that a prominent man of
Sharon, of good family, was the insti
gator of the abduction plot,, that ho
had been paying Boyle money and
when the payments failed the man
suggested the abduction to Boyle, and
it was arranged that he and Boyle
should divide the ransom.
“Life in the penitentiary would kill
nu* in a week or ten days and rather
than submit to this, I would commit
suicide,” said Mrs. Boyle. "If my
husband and I arc* sent, to the peni
tentiary. we will not go alone. Half
the truth has not. been told in this
case. One other man, who planned
the whole affair, has not been ar
rested.”
“Jimmy has something to say and
ought not to be gagged. I will not
say anything, but Jimmy will, and 1
will aid him.
“Seriously, I want to tell you there
is going to be a double suicide. 1
will not spend much time In the pen.
I have made all arrangements. Jim
mie will do the same.
“Do you think 1 am going to the
penitentiary for many years? No, sir;
when my sentence would expire I
would be an old women. I would
have no friends and no money. Who
wants anything to do with an old
woman? 1 would rather die young.
“This is my twenty-third birthday,
and am 1 not In a very poor position
to celebrate the event? I am inno
cent ot crime, however, and maybe
God, in His goodness, will yet allow
me to spend many anniversaries. But
yet there is the shadow of the peni
tentiary and the remedy—suicide. Do
you see that writing [tad over there?
In that I will soon write my will and
last message.”
Regarding the kidnaping, she says:
“I wi-sh the penalty for kidnaping
were death. Innocent as I am, I
would plead guilty if I were sure of
being put to death.”
A mob of more than 100 women
set upon Mrs. Boyle, as she was leav
ing the court house on her way to
the jail, and only the prompt action
of Sheriff Chess, his three deputies
and counsel for Mrs. Boyle prevented
what seemed to be an effort to harm
the prisoner.
Cries of ”tar and feather her,” “get
a rope” and such other remarks were
screamed by the women in the crowd.
Mrs. IJoyle apeared calm through
out the disturbance and said:
“My! I ought to feel flattered by
this reception.”
The sheriff and counsel for the ac
cused woman finally succeeded in get
ting her to a place of safety.
BOVtRNMtNI WINS CASE.
Bucket Shop Promoters Used U. S.
Mails to Defraud.
Cincinnati, Ohio.—The jury in the
case of Louis W. Foster and five
oihcrs, who were charged with using
the mails to defraud in the running
■of a so-called “bucket shop,” return
ed a verdict of guilty in the United
States district court here.
The defendants were found guilt>
on the charge of using the United
States mails to further a scheme to
defraud. The penalty Is a fine of
from SI,OOO to s.'>,ooo eighteen months
In the penitentiary, or both.
The verdict is a clean victory for
the government, which contended
that the defendants did not even play
the bucket shop game honestly, but
by slow wires and fast wires to Chi
cago and New York, took advantage
of the market quotations and closed
out trades with their customers to the
best, advantage to the defendants. Tin
government contended that actual
stock was not dealt in, but that the
deals were nothing more nor less
than gambling on future prices of
stocks.

WHOLESALE EXECUTIONS.
25,000 Armenians Have Been Murdered
By the Turks.
Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey, Via Con
stantinople.- Authentic details of the
atrocities committed by the fanatical
Mohammedans in the villages and
farms in this district are now com
ing into Tarsus with sickening abun
dance. The worst, particulars of these
narratives cannot, be mentioned, but
they set forth without doubt that at
least ten thousand lost their lives in
his province, and some estimates even
place the total casualties at 25,000.
Villages like Osmanieh, Ba/.sche, lia
madieh, Kara, Kristian, Keoy and Kez
olooi; were act ually wiped out. Eacn
of these places had populations of
from 500 to 600 people, in one town
of 4,000 people, there are fewer than
100 left, nearly all women and chil
dren. it was the same thing with
the hundreds of farms that dot. this
wide anil fertile play. The slaughter
was unsparing, even Greeks and Sy
rians were struck down with the Ar
menians. Entire families were burn
ed to death in their homes. Hundreds
of girls and women were maltreated
and carried off to the harems.
Sixty men who were brought down
into this district from Hadjin are
now l?jld as slaves.
Young Turks around Tarsus are
trading Armenian girls for horses and
modern repeating rifles. The entire
ten days seem to have been an in
sensate orgie of lust and violence in
the name of race and religion. In the
massacres of fourteen years ago
there was no such desire to kill wom
en and children as has been evidenc
ed in the last days. Nfow, however,
there have been numerous instances
of the murdering of women and chil
dren with deliberation, and there are
other instances where women were
brought out. one by one and shot
down, the bystanders clapping their
hands at. each frsh execution.
The local authorities are giving to
day 4 cent3 a day for each refugee
in Tarsus. There are about 4,000 ref
ugees, and this sum does not suffice.
The government allotment is being
supplemented by the funds of the
American mission. The local officials
say they are soon going to discon
tinue their contribution, and if this
is done there will be a famine.
The yard of the American mission
house looks like a prison pen. The
men wander around all night on the
floor.*: of the school rooms. Very few
of them have beds. In the day timo
the men sleep, usually curling up in
the sunshine outside.
SOUTHERN STEEL WILL REORGANIZE.
Petition to Prevent Same is Denied by
New York Supreme Court.
New York City. The Southern
Steel Company is gloating over t'le
genial by the supreme court of the
petition of Louis Mardeau, who applied
for an injunction restraining the re
organization committee of that com
mittee from proceeding with its pians
for the reorginaztion.
The company was unable to meet
its liabilities during the recent panic,
and in order that its assets might not
be lost, it has arranged to form a
new company to be known as the
Southern Iron and Steel Company,
which was to take over the plant and
other assets of the old company and
form the new corporation, with a
capital stock of $29,000,000.

LONG DELAYED PROPOSAL.
French Story of Note in Bouauet That
Was for Years Unanswered.
One of the longest delayed proposals
on record is related in a French story
of a shy young subaltern who was
ordered away to the wars. 'Not dar
ing to speak, he sent a rcsegay of
yellow rose 3 to the girl he loved, with
a little note inside 'begging her, if
she returned his love, to wear one of
the flowers in her breast that night
at the ball. She appeared without it,
and he went away broken hearted.
Years afterward., wihen he was a
lame old General, 'he again met his
old love, now a white ‘haired widow.
One day his old sweetheart gently ask
ed him why he 'had never married.
"Madam,” he answered somewhat
sternly, “you ought to know best. If
you had not refused to answer that
note in the bouquet of yellow roses I
might have been a happieriman.” “The
note in the bouquet?” she repeated,
growing pale.
She opened an old cabinet and took
out from a drawer a shrivelled bou
quet of what 'had been yellow roses,
among whose leafless stalks lurked a
scrap of paper yellow with age. “See!
I never had your note,” she said, hold
ing the bouquet up. “If I had I would
not have answered it as you fancied.
“Then answer it now,” said the gal
lant old soldier. And tibe long delay
ed /proposal was accepted at last.

NOT DRUGS
Food Did It.
After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic and apparently incurable con
stipation yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, in a few days.
“From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that 1
had to use laxatives continuously, go
ing from one drug to another and suf
fering more or less all the time.
“A prominent physician whom 1
consulted told me the muscles of the
digestive organs were partially par
alyzed and could not perform their
work without help of some kind, so I
have tried at different" times about
every laxative and cathartic known,
but found no help that was at all per
manent. I had finally become dis
couraged and had given m. case up
as hopeless when I began to use the
pre-digested food, Grape-Nuts.
“Although I had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested Immedi
ately from the first, and in a few days
I was convinced that thi3 was just
what my system needed.
“The bowels performed their func
tions regularly and I am now com
pletely and permanently cured of this
awful trouble.
“Truly the power of scientific food
must be unlimited." “There's a Rea
son.”

General.
According to present plans, the of
ficers of the 1 United Confederate Vet
erans will make the unveiling of the
statue of General Stephen D. Bee,
late commander-in-chief, one of the
principal features of the reunion in
Memphis, early in June. The site of

being completed to run special trains
to the park from Memphis, as soon

with the unveiling will form part of
the official program of the reunion.
The most unusual sentence ever
served in the state penitentiary was
begun and completed at Baton Rough,
La., in one day. It was that of El
more \Villiams, a negro, sentenced to
one hour in prison for involuntary
manslaughter. Williams made more
money in serving his sentence than
he had ever made before in his life,
being given upon his discharge, the
customary $5 in cash, anew suit of
clothes and a pair of shoes.
Rev. Charles J. Little, president of
the Garrett Biblical institute, deliver
ed the commencement address to the
fifty-four graduates of the Chicago
Training school and told them their
task is not mere play and requires
the best efforts of intelligent women.
The abolution of poverty and disease,
he declared, is the great work of the
twentieth century. “No amount of
sobbing and shrieking ever helps any
body,” said Dr. Little, “and much
that is in print in this age is merely
that, but there is no injustice in it.
In no age has there been such a de
mand women generally as in
our age and in no other age has there
been such sensitiveness to the woes
of the race.”

Declaring that the remarks of Sen
ator Martin N. Johnson of North Da
kota who said that a staue erected to
the memory of Alexander Hamilton,
on a government reservation in Wash
ington, would be dynamited by the

were “futile imbecile, absurd and not
to be taken seriously,” leaders in the
association laughed at the North Da

The National Association of Em

A story of President Taft’s visit to
the home of Representative Carlin, at
Alexandria, recently, has just
leaked out. The congressman is a
hospitable Virginian, who had heard
that the president was on the water
wagon, but took no chances. He is
said to have had on ice plain and vin
tage champagne, red and white wines,
whiskies, brandies, beer and malt
beverages. Also, he had sparkling
and still waters, Jersey and ,Holston
buttermilk, ginger ale and sarsaparil
la. pop and lemonade. “Would you
like some refreshments, Mr. Taft?”
the host inquired. “That hot ride
has made me thirsty,” said the pres
ident. “I would like something to
drink.” “What can I serve you?”
asked Carlin, brightening up. “I
would like a cup of hot tea.” As the
story is told the climax came in the
discovery that there was not a hit of
tea nearer than the grocery store.
The government has filed in the su
preme eburt of errors at Hartford,
Conn., its brief in the case of Edgar
G. Mondon, plaintiff, against the New

by permission of the court, is allowed
to intervene and file a brief in sup

act, which had been challenged by
the defendant company.
