Mr. and Mrs. Boyle Convicted of
Abducting Willie Whitla.
She Declares That Life in Penitentiary
Wil! Not Be Indured---Mysterious
Third Party Sought.
Mércer, Pa.~—Manifesting an indif
forence to her fate, Mrs, James H.
Boyle sat immovable as the jury re-.
turned a verdiet 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
pounced that he will make a motion
for a new trial. The penalty in Mrs.
Boyle's 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 ifi said to be claimed
by Boyle that & prominent man of
Sharon, of good family, was the insti
gator of the abduction plot, that he
had been paving 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
me in a week or ten days and rather
than submit to this, 1 would commit
suicide,” said Mrs. By, 'R W
husband and I are sent to the peni
tentiary. we will not go alone. Haif
the truth has not been told in this
case. Omne other man, who planned
the whole affair, has not been ar
rested.”
“Jimmy has something to say and
ought not to be gagged. 1 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.
1 have made all -arrangements. Jim
mie wilil do the same.
“Do you think I am going to the
penitentiary for many years? No, sir;
when my sentence would expire I
would be an old women. [ 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 I not in-a very poor position
to celebrate the event? I am inno
cent of 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 pad over there?
In that I will scon write my will and
last message.” :
Regarding the kidnaping, she says:
1 wish the penalty for kidnaping
were death. Innocent as I am, I
would -plead guilty if T 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 counzel 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. Boyle apeared calm through
out the disturbance and said:
“My! 1 ought to feel flattered Dby
this reception.”
The cheriff and counsel for the ac
cused woman finally succeeded in get
ting her to a place of safety.
GOVERNMENT WINS CASE.
Bucket Shop Promoters Used U. S.
Mails to Defraud.
Cincinnati, Onio.—The jury in the
ease of Louis W. Foster and five
others, 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 guilty
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 $5,000 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
pest advantage to the defendants. The
government contended that actual
stock was not dealt in, but that the
deals were nothing more nor less
than zambling on future prices of
stocks,

WHOLESALE EXECUTIONS.
25,000 Armenians Have Been Murdered
By the Turks.
Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey, Via Con
stantinople.—Authentic detalls 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
leaslt ten thousand lost their lives In
his province, and some estimates even
place the total casualties at 25,000,
Villages like Osmanieh, Bazsche, Ha
madieh, Kara, Kristian, Keoy and Kez
vlook were actually wiped out, Each
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 and 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?e,ld as slaves,
Young Turks around Tarsus are
trading Armenian girls for horses and
modern repeating rifles. The entire
ten days seem to have be2n an in
sensate orgie of lust and violen®e in
the name of race and religion. In the
massacres of fourteen years Aago
there was no such desire to kill wom
en and children as has been evidenc
ed in the last days. Now, 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 frash execution.
The local authorities are giving to
day 4 cents a day for each refugee
in Tarsus. There are about 4,000 ref
ugees, and this sum does not suffice.
The government allotment i 3 being
supplemented by the funds of the
American mission. The local officials
say they are soon going to discon
tinue their contributidon, ard if this
is done there will be a tamine.
The vard of the American mission
house looks like a prison pen. The
men wander around all night on the
floors of the school rooms. Very few
of them have beds. In the day time
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 the
denial 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 plans
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.
PLANS FOR THE A, B. & A
New Road May Be Put Soon on a

marks the preliminary step to place

ers, on a firmer basis financially. The
members of the committee are allied
closely with interests identified with
the company’s securities, The exact
course which the campaign of reor
ganization will take has not yet been
announced, but it 1s believed that it
includes a scaling down in the bond
ed debt. So far as possible, it is be
lieved that the first mortgage under

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 subalterm who was
ordered away to the wars. Not dar
ing to speak, he sent a rosegay of
yellow roses 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, when he was 2
ljame 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 cught to know best. If
you had not refused to answer that
note in the becuquet of yel]ow roses !
might have been a happier man.” “T he
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 the long delay
ed proposal was accepted at lagt.—

NOT DRUGS
Food Did It.
After using laxative and cathartie
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 |
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 I
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 my 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 troudle, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested immedi
ately from the first, and in a few days
1 was convinced that this was just
what my system needed.
“The bowels performed their funec
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.”
