PRISONER IS LYING"
DISTRICT ATTORNEY

SHARON, Pa. May u.-That James
Il. Boyle went 70 mis- life term in this
Allegheny penitentiary with a lie on his
lips. IS the declaration of more than one
OF those prominent in the Whftla kid
uaping case. The consensus OF opinion
today is that his stat sment in the Mercer
jaH. after his sentence yesterday, inn
piicating in his crime a well-known resi-
dent of Sharon. is without foundation
What the kidnaper's object was. unless
to win belated sympathy, is hard TO dis
cover.

different tales" says District Attorney
Lininger. Similar statements p come
from all the attorneys ia the case, in
cIuding Judge Miller, who defended
Boyle, and from j. p. Whitla. the man
who would be most interested IN rum

mentioned, If he believed the story.

Boyle'S Parting Shot

MERCER, Pa, May 11.-FOllowing is
the complete statement made by James
Fl. Boyle just before leaving for the
penitentiary:
This is the complete history Of the
Kidnapping Of Willie Whitla, the origin
OF IL, and what led up to it:
"One morning. fourteen years ago. Dan
Heeble. Jr-, was found dead on the
sidewalk in front Of the Mauser block,
East Federal street, Youngstown. Ohio.
and over the PROSTATE form was Harry
ForlNeT. of Sharon, Pa, holding in his
right hand a package OF letters that
we're picked UP from the sidewalk near
the dead body of Mr.. Reeble.
''As he was about to depart from the
vicinity he was intercepted by the
writer and q man who has since died,
Dan Shay. a salOonlzeeper. Of Oak
street, Youngstown, Ohio.
TN Mr.. Forker's hurry to leave the
scene he failed 10 find two envelopes
that contained four letters. They were
picked up by Mr.. Shay, and later taken
to his place OF business on Oak street
The writer and Mr.. Shay examined and
read the contents of these letters. which
proved beyond doubt the presence Of
Mr.. FOrker there at that time.
THE letters were written by a lady,
two from a party in New York State
and two others from Cleveland, Ohio.
At a later date Mr.. Forker was ap-
prised of the fact that the writer held
these letters in his possession, and
asked IL he could use the same. A let
ter was Immediately sent the writer by
Mr.. Forler, stating that he Cdr. Fork
er would like to have personal talk
with the writer, which meeting took
place a day or so after.
Amount Not Sufficient.
''Mn Forker acknowledged he would
pay sum of money for the possession
OF said letters. The amount not being
considered sufficient was refused, an6
from that day on and Up until March,
1905, on the threat or making public the
letters 'and the coincident of Mr.. For
ker being discovered bending over the
PROSTATE form of Mr.. Reeble. the writer
received at different times amounts of
money from Mr.. F'orker TO remain si-
lent
ABOUT six months ago. when I return
ed to Sharon, with my wife, met Mr..
Forker on East State street and in
formed him that unless I received 5000

leave Sharon, / would hold the secret
no longer.
He then informed me that II was I'm
possible for him to get that amount Of
money, but some time in April, 1903, he
was TO come In possession OF a certain
amount of money, and would then turn
some over to me, which was satisfac-
tory at that time.
on my leaving Sharon. on March u
1903. proceeded to Cleveland. Ohio. and
on the same evening, I addressed a let
ter 10 Forl1ers 2449 East State street

decided not TO wait any longer in re-
gard to the money proposition, and II

"On March 16, 1903. I received answer
10 same. which read:
- Friend Bailey-You know that the
circumstances and the promise I made
you when you left here, but if you are
really desperately IN need of money, as
you profess to be. ] will outline little

About ten minutes later the Toy and

him there, and that I would attend to

After making inquiries as to the next

Mr.. Forker, stating that tome one had
informed Mr.. Whitla that they had

officers. zoo delegates to the convention
OF the Independent Order Birth Abra-
ham. presented one of the most unique
spectacles this morning ever seen in the
Capital
The scene from . to Il o'clock this
morning was calculated to out Tammany
an everyday Gotham election. Interest
cente-ed around the choice of grand
master and a grand secretary. Charges
made on the first day OF the convention
that negligence was responsible for the
deficit of about $4,000 in the organiza-
ions funds. and the plea advanced yes
tcrday by Grand Secretary Schoen that
this loss was caused by confidence in
the treasurer and not by disregard Of
the members interests have lined up
the delegates In two factions
Opposition of Sanders.
Supporters of Leon Sanders. the in
surgents' leader, declare tersely that
lone Is enough" and that the admis-
sion Of carelessness units the present
administration for continued power. On
tie other side are the members who are
made by Schoen yesterday to give him
another chance in view OF the heroic
efforts made by him and his associates
TO recoup the orders finances. The ad-
ministration candidate for grand mas
ter Is Sam Scholinsky. OF New York
Three men are running for grand sec
retory, Jacob Schoen. the present in
cumbents Max Eisen, and julius Mayer
The rest Of the ticket is lined UP along
administration and insurgent lines.
Both sides are making a whfrlwind
campaign. The sidewalk and the in
side Of the Masonic Temple Auditorium
are strewn with 7mphlets, cards, and
sample ballots. Women are canvassing
FOR their candidates. and a detail OF
police was appointed to keep order in
the waiting line. Voting was by bal
lot. and was conducted by a large
force of tellers representing both fac
tions.
Campaigners at Work.
Ten men are allowed in the voting
booth at once, and since no one else is
admitted until the entire group has
finished marking its ballot the voting
this morning was a slow process. No
objection was found TO the waiting
lines as It afforded both sides a chance
20 extend their campaign.
The polls closed at o'clock this
afternoon, and the results will be an
nounced this evening. The conven-
tion viii not meet this afternoon.
All three delegates who figured in
an automobile collision with a street
car last evening were on the floor this

shaken up. but none was scratched
save kornfelt, who was bruised about
