CI.ARksBuRG, March ls-No preliminary
hearing in the Boyles murder case has yet
been had. No doubt the prisoner viii
waive an examination. The whole affair
grew oat of the connection woman had
with the matter. 1t is now rumored that
several men among whom were Boyles and
Ashcroft were to meet woman at the
house Of the latter. A letter had been writ
ten with this view, the knowledge Of which
Boyle's friends claims Ashcroft knew, as
well as its contents. However, prior to the
anticipated meeting, Ashcroft notified the
parties, more particularly Boyles not to
come to his house. Notwithstanding this
at the appointed time all came. Ashcroft
told Boyles not to enter the house, and
went out on the hill close by to gather some
wood. When he returned he found Boyles
and another man playing cards in the
house, to which he entered his protest.
Boyles left the house, challenging a per-
sonsl encounter. Ashcroft came to the
door with a gun. Boyles advanced in the
direction of the house and was killed by
Ashcroft, The latter insists the whole mat
ter was caused by the intimacy Of Boyles
with his wife.
