She tells me that she is Mrs.
Boyle, the wife of the man imprisoned
on the charge of kidnapping" said
former Judge S. H. Miller, her per-
sonal counsel, land l believe her.
That is all know about her."
The fact remains that every effort
has been made, and successfully, to
keep the woman out of sight of the
residents of Sharon, the home of the
kidnapped boy. Boyle is we'll known
in Sharon. No one there can tell who
the woman is, and only those who ap-
pear to be interested in keeping her
identity a mystery have seen her
since she was arrested in Cleveland
1t is evident that Mrs. Boyle was
gently nutured. Her voice is soft,
and she bears every outward evidence
of refinement. There is trace of
reckleness, Of don't care" that is al
most attractive. and confirms the I'M
Preston that this same spirit led the
young woman from her home out to
a career of daring and unconven-
tional nature.

refinement. In the reckless and jocu-
lar moods she uses a choice assort-
ment Of up-to-date slang, and seems
to be proud Of her knowledge of it.
With the caution of trained law
yer, the modest demeanor of a woman
of good home and family, and that
little catch Of daring and humor that
shows itself now and again, the
woman is battling figure. Since
her arrest no one has been able to
catch single contradictory or leading
statement. Her replies to questions
about her identity have ever been
evasive. Sometimes she refuses to
answer questions at all, and her smile
is more battling than words.
Today Mrs. Boyle declined to have
any further conferences with her law
yer In the Jail. She discovered that
there were peepholes and openings by
which eavesdroppers could watch her
every action and hear even whisp-
cred conversation, and that this means
had been used in the prosecution of
woman once confined there

bettering her condition. Convinced
that the woman was not to be caught
in trap, the sheriff removed her to
larger cell, where she has access to
bathroom. and where there are rugs
on the floor, mirrors. and other ac-
cessories. which she has sadly missed.
She is pleased with her new quarters,
and. seemingly, has not worry in
the world.
There is one outstanding character
istic of the woman. She appears to
despise any one who represents the
law, and especially detectives and po-
lice. Unerringly. she picks cut all
officer on sight. She called the atten-
tion of her lawyer to a detective she
had seen from the window of the Jail
who was disguised as peddler.
The methods of the police she also
hates. She does not fear their de
grees" nor sweating processes. but
has sympathy for any others caught
in their traps. and in her advent in
Jail here possibly may be the saliva
tion of woman in whose case she has
been interested herself.
Il wonder what the women of the
outside world-the mothers-think of
my case now" said Mrs. Boyle today.
l suppose they think i'll 'of HE. But
for that matter they also think ill of
Mrs. Harry, poor little SOUL
DenOunces Extorted "Confessfon."
The woman referred to is the fell
low-prisoner, and is held on the
charge of numbering her husband.
The chief evidence against her is ain
alleged confession obtained by detec-
tives after acruel process Of ques-
tioning. and Mrs. Boyle. who says she
believes in the innocence of Mrs. Har-
ry, has entered campaign to cancel
this confession.
Mrs. Boyle says she has discovered
that the detectives. when they failed
to trap Mrs. Harry after her arrest,
used the fact that the woman was
victim Of morphine to torture her into
a condition bordering on madness by
upon her promise to make "confes-
sion" gave her great quantities . of
morphine. 1t was under the influence
of the drug that Mrs. Harry made the
confession" according to Mrs. Boyle.
There is too much injustice in the
cruel methods of the police" said
Mrs. Boyle. ''They tried all their
methods with me, but did not fall
into any of their traps. This poor
woman did. and now her life is in
danger. AS long as they can make
case the police do not care who suf-
fers in consequence. It's burning
shame the way they treater this
woman. and the green sheriff who
permitted it is largely to blame
The little woman was animated in
the discussion of her fellow prison
er's case. and the reporter thought it
an opportunity to question her about
her own interesting history
