WOMAN THREATENS SUICIDE Attempt to Drag in Name of Another Said to Have Been Implicated in Whitla Case. Mercer, Pa., May 8.—James Boyle, charged with kidnapping Willie Whit- la, was convicted yesterday. after a trial lasting only a few hours. No defense was made, and the jury was out only a few minutes. Mrs. Boyle, indicted under the name of Mary Doe, with half a dozen aliases, was immediately placed on trial, charged with aiding and abetting the kidnap- ping. Hardly had the jury been sworn in the woman’s case when the lawyers became engaged in a legal argument regarding the admission of certain testimony, and the case was adjourned till morning. Much Depends on Decision. The first witness called by the state in Mrs. Boyle’s case was Miss Ella Boyle, a sister of James Boyle. Apparently from the line of question- ing, the prosecution wanted to prove by her that the kidnapping conspira- cy was formed when Mrs. Boyle was visiting in Sharon with her husband, and that she was implicated in it. It is surmised the object of this is to overcame her contention that she could not have violated a law in this state when she was living in Ohio. From the earnestness with which the defense opposed the questions asked, it is believed a great deal will depend upon the court’s decision as to the admissibility of the testimony in dispute. Boyle Makes No Defense. That Boyle’s trial came to such an abrupt ending, immediately after the state had rested, was due to the fact that so strong a case had been made against him. From the night before the abduction, when he was seen in Sharon, till the time of his arrest in Cleveland, almost every movement he made was testified to by one or more witnesses. A man who hired him a horse and buggy, another who saw Boyle driving with Willie Whitla in the buggy, the barber who saw the two together and shaved off Boyle’s mustache, train and electric railway conductors who saw the couple on the way to Cleveland and {identified them in court, all told stories which fitted in perfectly with that of Willie Whitla and left no doubt as to the part Boyle had taken in the case, Jury Acts Quickly. When the state rested, counsel for the defense held a consultation and announced that they would offer no evidence. The court at once summed up the evidence, gave the case to and a verdict was agreed upon in a few minutes. Makes No Defense for Mrs. Boyle. Mercer, Pa., May 9. —’ Relying en- tirely upon their contention that the Pennsylvania courts have no jurisdic- tion in her case, counsel for Mrs. James Boyle, on trial charged witn aiding and abetting the kidnapping of Whitla, yesterday refused to offer any evidence in her behalf. Ar- guments will be made today. The claim of the prosecution that Mrs. Boyle participated while in this state in the formation of the conspiracy to kidnap the boy, which was afterwards carried out, will be combatted by the defense, which will endeavor to have her released in Pennsylvania ana turned over to the Cleveland author- ities. Testify Against Woman, The state completed its testimony yesterday afternoon. It was mainly the same as that given in the trial of James Boyle, but there were some ad- ditional witnesses summoned to con- nect Mrs. Boyle with the abduction. One of the Cleveland policemen who took part in the arrest testified that she said: “IT am the frail little woman who planned the whole thing.” The finding of the ransom money secreted in her clothing was also tes- tified to. The -proprietor of the Gran- ger apartments in Cleveland identified Boyle and Mrs. Boyle as the couple who rented an apartment from her under the name of Walker. An effort was made to prove her connection with framing up the plot while in Pennsylvania, and her remarks that she expected to receive some money soon was brought out. Try to Drag Another In. Throughout the proceedings yester- day there was an apparent desire upon the part of Boyle and his wife to bring out the name of another party said to have been connected with the case. Boyle endeavored to tell more than he had been asked. “I want to tell the whole truth about this case now,” said he. “I want the whole thing cleared up. I was not to blame.- The whole blame was on some one else.” Last night in her cell in jail Mrs. Boyle said: “Both Jimmie and myself have tried to tell the whole story in connection with this case. We have not been permitted to do so. It is not justice. Everything should be heard and threshed out. As for myself I will commit suicide before I go to the pen- itentiary.” TO GIRD SWORD ON MEHMED \ No Foreign Eyes Will Witness Ancicni Rite to Mosque at Con- stantinople. Constantinople, May 11—Reviewing stands are being put up in the princi- pal streets of Stamboul in preparation for the procession today, following the girding of the sword upon Meh- med V. This ceremony, which corre sponds to that of coronation, will take place in the Mosque Aynob, the sin- gle mosque in Constantinople which Christians are not allowed to enter or even congregate about the en- trance or court yard. It will last only a few minutes, and no foreign eyes will witness the ancient rite of the spiritual power consigning the tempo- ral power to the sultan. A stand has been erected for the diplomatic corps and distinguished foreigners eight or ten blocks from the mosque. Guilty Will Be Punished. The government is taking hold of the relief work in Adana province with vigor. It was announced yester- day that $150,000 had been sent there. The grand vizier and Ferid Pasha, minister of the interior, received a deputation of the Armenian clergy and laity yesterday. The delegation was assured that the government would inquire thoroughly into the Adana massacres and severely pun- ish those guilty of inciting them, The minister said the investigation would be conducted by a military court. Ferid Pasha told the delegation that eight physicians had been sent from Smyrna to Adana and that several also had gone there from Constanti nople. Now Feel Safer. Tarsus, May 11—Since the procla- mation of the new sultan there has been a_ general feeling of security here. Those in charge of the relief work are thinning out the dependents by sending them into the country.
