ward. His father was a brave Federal
soldier and attained the rank of Cap
tain during the Civil War. He was
one of the most prominent citizens OF
Ohio county and at one time the Re
publican nominee for sheriff Of the
county, at time when 1t was over
whelmingly Democratic. Clayton l..
was the only son of his father by his
first marriage, and at an early age
had the care of the family, be-
cause of the absence of his father in
the army. He was therefore schooled
In adversely and self reliance at an
early age. He inherited from his an
cestors rugged honesty and strength
f1f character which he carried with
him to the grave. No man who ever
lived In Ohio county has surpassed him
In gentleness of spirit, devotion to his
family and friends and steadfastness
to his principles or those ideas which
he conceived TO be right. He was
man Of SPLENDID natural ability, but
Of modest demeanor, and but for this
could have had almost any position
With, the gift of Ohio Co. people.
He filled every position in life to which
he was called with an eye single
to the good of his fellowmen and the
upbuilding OF his community. He
leaves a wife and four children, with
many other relatives and friends TO
mourn his departure from earth, but
they have the satisfaction and the
assurance that he has gone to that
home above, that house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens,
whose maker and builder is God"
May he rest In peace.

BOYLE, kIDNAPER,
QUICKLY CONVICTED
Ahductor Of Billy Whitla Makes
No Defense.
BOYS REPLY CAUSES MIRTH
Accused Man Traced by Witnesses
From Sharon, Pa, Lads Home,
to Cleveland, Ohio - Sentence
Was Deferred.

Mercer, Pa.-James Boyle, charged
with kidnapping Billy Whftla at Sha-
ron last March, was convicted after a
trial lasting only few hours. There
was no defense, and the jury was out
but a few minutes.
The States showing was overpow-
ering. From the night before the abb
duction, when he was seen in Sharon,
till the time of his arrest in Cleve-
land, Ohio, almost every movement
the prisoner made was testified to by
one or more witnesses. A man from
whom he hired horse and buggy,
another who saw Boyle driving with
Billy in the buggy, the barber who
saw the two together and shaved
Boy1e's mustache off, train and cleo
trio railway conductors who saw the
couple on the way to Cleveland and
identified them in court, all told sto-
ries which fitted in perfectly with
that of BILLY" Whitla, and left no
doubt as to the part Boyle had taken
in the case.
AS a result, when the State rested,
counsel for the defense held a confer
erce and announced that they would
OHer no evidence.
Billy Whitla was the first witness,
and before being sworn caused rip
pie of laughter when he answered the
question as to where boys go who do
not tell the truth by saying: They
go to hell" He told the story of the
man who said his name was Mr..
Jones, calling for him with buggy
at the school, and telling him he had
been sent to take him away on ac-
count of smallpox; that he was to
take others also, and that Billy would
meet his friends on the train.
The cross-examination of Billy was
very brief, the questioning indicating
that the defense would attempt to
prove an alibi, but Charles Flowers,
of Sharon, testified positively that
he had seen Boyle in Sharon the night
before the abduction and had spoken
to him.
j. p Whitla, father of the kid
naped boy. told of the abduction and
the three letters he received demand
ing a ransom. of his compliance with
all the conditions imposed, and of the
events leading up to the payment of
the money and the recovery of his
son. On cross-examination Mr. Whit
la denied having had any converse
ton with Boyle in Cleveland prior to
his arrest.
Mrs. B. A. Hendrickson, with
whom the package containing $10,-
900 was left in the Cleveland store,
told of stranger giving the name of
Hayes leaving the package with her
for Mr.. Williams and of Mr. Williams
coming for it, She identified Boyle
as the man who secured the package
from her.
The penalty, which is from one
year to life sentence in the peniten-
tiary, was deferred.
