NO WORD IN Her Counsel Relies on sylvania Courts have 1o Jurisdiction PREfERS DEATH TO PENITENTIARY MRS. BOYLE'S BEHALF - Contefition that Penn - Mrs. Boyle Says that She will Commit Suicide Before |5 5 Al o suye he is She will Suffer Imprisonment—Both Principals De- clare that they Have Not Been Permitted to Tell th Whole Story—Would Bring in Another Person. B PR Mercer, Pa., May 7.—Relying entire- 1y upon their contention that the Penn- sylvania courts have no jurisdiction in her case, counsel for Mrs, James Boyle, who is on trial charged with aldl and abetting and kidnapping of “Billy ‘Whitla, refused today to offer any evidence in her behalf. Arguments to Be Made Toda: Arguments will be made tomorrow @nd the defense hopes to convince the jury of the correctness of its conten- tion. The claim of the prosecution that Mrs. Boyle participated while in this state in the conspiracy to kidnap the boy, which was afterwards carried out, will be combatted by the defense, which will endeavor to have her re- leased in‘Pennsylvania and turned over to the aushorities at Cleveland. Yesterday’s Testimony. The state completed its testimony to- day. It was mainly the same as that given yesterday in the trial of James Boyle, but seme additional witnesses were summoned for the purpose of connecting Mrs. Boyle with the abduc- tion. One of the Cleveland policemen who took part in the arrest testified she said: woman who planned the whole thing. The finding of the ransom money seereted in_her clothing was also tes- tified to. The proprietor of the Gran- ger apartments in_ Cleveland identified Boyle and Mre, Bovle as the couple who rented an apartment from her un- der the name of Walter. An effort was made to prove her connection with the * plot while in Pennsylvanis and her re- mark that she expected to receive some money soon was brought out. Judge Miller of her counsel is pre- paring several points tonight which will be brought to the attention of the court tomorrow. Another Person Connected With the Case? Throughout the proceedings today there was an apparent desire by Boyle and his wife to bring in the name of another person said to have been con- nected with the case. During the trial today Boyle endeavored to tell more than he had been asked. “I want to tell the whole truth about this case now,” he said. #~I want the whole thing cleared up. I was not to blame. The whole blame was on sgmeone else.” Statement by Mrs. Boyle. Tonight in her cell in jail Mrs. Boyle ‘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, T will commit suicide before I will go to the penitentiary. Great interest is being manifested in the community as to whether Boyle or his wife will get a chance to tell what apparently is on their minds before the end of the trial. As the testimony has been closed on both sides, the only chance Boyle would have would be when called upon for any reason he might have why sentence should mot be pronounced. If Mrs. Boyle is con- victed she wouid have the same chance. It she is acquitted she probably would not care to bring anyone eise into the case. FORMER BANKER MORSE IS NOW DEAD BROKE. Once Worth $30,000,000—All His Hold- ings Vanish. New York, May 7.—Charles W. Morse, the former banker, who-is now in the Tombs prison under gentence for violation of the national blnklns Jaw, has not a share of stock, & bon or a piece of real estate left of his former estate of an estimated value of 420,000,000, according %o evidence which ne gave in supplementary proceedings last week, and which was made public today.

When Time Was Called It Looked as if the Opponents Were on Top—Contest to Be Resumed Later—8tate Capitol Gossip. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, May 7.—The public utilities commission matter didn't prove to be as dead as some of those who are op- posed to any kind of a commission were inclined to believe it was, but there s & grave question in the minds of those who have taken the time to g0 over the subject in all its details since yesterday's action as to whieh party to the contention over the mat- ter really retains the advantage at the end of the week, It rather looks as it the opponents of a public utilities com- mission were on top and certainly the opponents of the present bill are. t week the house had accepted the adverse report of the judiclary committee as a compliment ~to the committee, but failed to vote on the rejection of the bill, which was the second half of Chairman Burnes' mo- tlon, which had been divided on the request of Judge Malone of Bristol, and/this was the thing to be tackled when the so-called insurgents—because they are opposed to such as there of a house machine—came into {he house on Tuesday. They were pre- pared for fight and wene at it in high glee, though there was little talking done until after the rofcajl yotd on the rejection of the bill, whicfl failed Dby the small leeway of 14 votes In 234. This small margin and the way in which a number of men voted was very illuminating to the knowing ones. As a matter of fact, the opponents of a commission were wrong in their belief that the welght of sentiment in the house was for makine an end of the Bill and the ject, 0 far as this eneral assembly Is concerned, at once, had been, but the house had run off after strange gods and the attrac- tive talk of this stranger Chandler, who has been trying to upset estab- lished precedents and quoting congress and the legislatures of other slates and Cushing’s Manual ever since the session opened in the effort to intro- duce novelties, had taken more thun one member off his feet. Over Sunday the work done on Thursday had been rubbed in until many a member had become convinced that the plan was to kill off the whole matter at once, and the unfairness of this, in the face of the fact that their home people wanted some sort of a commission to which to tell their trou- bles, was all they could see. There- fore they were ready for anything, enough of them to set the house off on a Jaueer tangent after the motion to rejoct the bill failed, as certainly all of the newspaper men belleved it would from the time they reached the capitol Tuesday morning, ‘When the plan of the “insurgents” to appoint a special committee of nine from among those in the negative vote on the proposition to reject was sprung, therefore, it took. Chandler's leadership, which has now sunk far down towards the horizon, was then at its genith. The motion to appoint such a committee was entirely out of order under the rules of the Connecti- cut general assembly—and those are the only rules which have auything to do with the present situation: it isn't & question of what Is done anywhere else in the world, nor is this the busi- ness of our leglslature—and it was surprising that the speaker didn’t realize this and mo declare it.. It is guite within the possibilities that, with feeling then prevailing, the appeal which would unquestionably have been taken from his ruling would have been sustained by the house, but that does- n't alter the fact that the oaly proper course for him was to so declare it. The point s this: All action in our general assembly is joint acgion. There Is no such thing as individual action on the part of either house independent of the other, except in the case of a house or senate resolution concerning some matter which affects only one body. The recent opinion of Attorney General Holcomb regarding the appro- priation for the Taylor souvenir illus- trates this point. So that when the house lets a joint mepsure, and a house bill or a senate bill s a joint measure just as much as a joint Tesolution, go out of its control and out of the hands of its clerk, as must have been the case when ihis speolal eommittee took hold of it and began its public hear- ings, it Taust refer it to & joint com- mittee. There {sn't any way around that. If the house had Jaid the bill on a poeket which *l‘.l a richly ho'“nd‘bm%.'

Vienna, May 7.—In a fit of despon- dency, due to the fact that the torpe- do boat Pelikan went’ aground in the Adriatic yesterday, Lieutenant Lutter- otti, who was in chares of the vessel at the time of the accident, committed suicide today. The Pelikan has been refloated. Munich, May 7.—Ceunt Zeppelin said today that the proposed airship trip from Friedrichshafen to Berlin would be undertaken before long, but, as the journey depended upon weather con- ditions, he was unable to name the date. The trip was suggested by Em- peror William. Paris, May 7—Charles Woods Gam- native of Sacramendo, Cal, was today found guilty of swindlifg the French public through the selling of shares in @ | California mining companies and con- demned to two years in prison and to pay a fine of $600. CHICAGO HAS ANOTHER BLACK HAND CRIME TO SOLVE. “ bl Ithy Italian Cigarmaker Probably Fatally Shot. Chicago, May 7.—Another Black Hand crime was given to the police to solve tonight. Mariano Zagone, a wealthy cigar manufacturer, who has rarrowly escaped death on three pre- vious occasions, owing to his refusal to comply with the demands of black- mailers, was probably fatally shot while “sitting in his brother-in-law’s saloon, The police found Zagone lying on the sidewalk in front of the sa- loon, a revolver lying under him, Jo- seph and Nicolani %urmalla, saloon keepers, were arrested, but they pro- tested that they knew nothing of the shooting. Inspection showed that Za- gone was shot, probably while reading a paper, and that he had been dragged to the sidewalk afterwards. New London Contestants Pray for Re- vocation of Probate of Will. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, May A petition was filed today In the supreme court of the District of Columbia by Ravmond P, Carolyn A., Clayton B. axid Frankhn A. Smith, ail of New London, praying for the revocation of the probate of fhe will of Addie R. Perkins. The peti- tioners are nieces and nephews of the deceased and set forth that no process was seryed on them. They ailege men- tal incapacity and undue influence on the part of the beneficiary of the will. The estate involved is understood to be quite large and a spirited contest is expected. dare do this for fear the bill would be taken off the table and killed at some moment when their guard was down. This parliamentary point is quite outside the merits of the proposition, of course, but it affects the whole sit- uation. There is also the diplomatic side of the matter, too. It is as good as a certainty that the senate would find in the impliea snub, the imputell lack of confidence, shown by the house a good enough reason for killing off at short notice anything the house might send up under such _circumstances. That doesn’t alter the house’s right to refer the matter to 4 house commit- tee, if such a right existed, but the other paragraph must make it clear that no such right exists. To get back to the situgtion as to the general matter, on Wednesday, after members had had a' chance to sleep on the matter, quité:a number began to see that they had been fol- lowing a hastily accomplished leader- ship and were getting far away from the time honored custom and practice and clear off a conservative basi: Chandler's lack of consistency also was clearer as they thought things over. He was crazy to get the subject away | from the houseand into the hands of nine men, who represented at best only one side of the sentiment of a house pretty nearly evenly divided, and con- tinually implied, though he persistent- ly disclainied o lack of confidence in the house if it tried to amend the bill on the floor, as has always been done under similar situations. Not only that, but he”insisted that this wasn't feasible or practicable, be- cause of the length of the bill and so on, but that a committee of nine could readily make the bill over—when 255 couldn't—because the framework is all there. Anvbedy who knows anything about it, knows that it isn't all to bo done by the changing of a few “thes” and “ands,” as Chandler airily stated, but if it was—and even when it isn’ that 1§ all the more reason why it would be easy for the house to do ft on the floor. phraseology are needed, that is easy. needs no committee 1o’ do it. Well, to get back again: More than one member also realized that the leadership after which a majority of the house was following was an “insur- gent” leadership, and when their blood cooled they commenced to doubt the wisdom of this. All of these reasons, and a hundred more, made the house quite ready to reconsider the action in passing the Chandler motion, and'by the time re- consideration came the “insurgent” leaders had become to come to differ- If but a few changes in 1t now has that, and Banks can appoint whomever he pleases on the house end of_the joint:committee. Where Burnes made his tactical blunder, however, from his side of the fence—he makes no bones of his d helicf in the principle of a commission —was that he and his committee didn’t accept the recommitment of the bill when it was first proposed. Where the supporters of the principle made their greatest blunder was in not pushing the matter to a test vote on the av- ceptance of the committee's adverse report last week Thursday, turning down the committee and then refusing to reject the bill right then. If Chand- ler had done this, which could have been done right afier his speecly on that day, and then placed the bill at the foot of the calendar. he would have been in a position to call it up the first thing Tuesday morning and send out a committee to draft an amended bill without letting the bill get out of the control of the house. That's all over now, though, and the the table and sent out a committee to | pervisor'of automobiles, state tax, i stitute that would Hase hoan entirely | matters, exclse matters, woman eu public | frage—thesa are only a few. There fllk are ot chances are that we will be coming (o Hartford for three months yet. The joint committee, the senate action on which has not yet taken place, must report a bill to the house by June 8. The senate will get the joint resolu- tion to act on Tuesday, and will pre- sumably act on it that day. TRat means that the loint committee will not be appointed before the last of next week, as one day of the legisla- tive week is expected to be devoted to eulogies of Governor Lilley. This glves the select committee three weeks in which to do the work. It is per- fectly safe to assume that whatever it brings in will require any amount of amending in both house and senate. And look at, the host of other import- ant matters on which members who have just begun to find their voices will have to talk on during the mext few weeks! Well, you can't look at them. But take my word for it that they're coming in from committees. Good roads, automobile law and su- creased inheritance tax, educa ences among themselves. and there was no great difficulty in Burnes again getting control of the situation.
