A thousand women and men sur
rounded the little schoolhouse where
the trials are held, and as the Boyles
appeared demonstration was started
A stalwart woman advanced on Helen
Boyle and shouted:
"There she is, the dirty huzzy! Let's
get her and hang her! We don't need
any juryw
Women With Brooms Threaten Her.
Helen Boyle made defiant response
and raised her shackled hand in spite
of the efforts Of Deputy Sheriff Stuart
to restrain her. Instantly the crowd
was in an uproar Many of the wom-
en- were armed with brooms and sticks
They pressed forward with threaten
ing gestures and forced the prisoners
and their guards into the road.
Boyle, who was handcuffed to Sheriff
Chess. tried to reach Helen Boyle's
side. Chess made ready to draw a
pistol as he held Boyle back, and as
leaders in the crowd saw the weapon
there was a brief lull in the demon
stration. Deputy Sheriff Stuart took
advantage of it to hustle his prisoner
Inside.
PASTOR Tried to Help Deputy.
The Rev. j. S. Duncan, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian church, tried to as
sist Stuart, but the crowd blocked his
way. AS Helen Boyle reached the
door she turned and shouted
"If they would let me go unfettered
I'd make you all climb trees, you cow
ards!'
As she sat in court after this excit-
ing incident Mrs. Boyle, who is twen-
ty-eight years old and quite good look
ing, was smiling and at her ease She
wore a small black hat and veil and a
gray coat and black dress.
During the selection of the jury Mrs.
Boyle conferred with her counsel, Of
fering suggestions as to who should or
should not be accepted as jurors. Mrs.
Boyle showed a decided preference for
young and unmarried men as jurors,
and eight such were chosen among the
twelve.
Boyle's Sister Witness.
The first witness called was Miss
Ella Boyle, sister Of James h Boyle.
The prosecution sought to prove by
her that the kidnapping conspiracy was
formed while the Boyles were visiting
Sharon last winter.
The object of this line of question
ing was said to be to overcome Helen
Boyles' contention that she could not
have violated Pennsylvania law, as
she was living in Ohio at the time of
Blllie's abduction.
The defense opposed every effort to
prove that Helen Boyle had anything
to do with the kidnapping beyond be-
ing housekeeper Of the fiat where Bill
lie was held captive.
Willie Whitla Identifies Her.
Willie Whitla, who had been the
chief witness In the trial of James II.
Boyle, gave similar testimony against
the woman, whom he identified as one
of the pair who kept him a prisoner
for FIVE days in house In Cleveland.

Mr.. Root at ALBANY.

In his address to the New York Iegis-
lature Thursday night thanking that body
for his election to the Senate Mr.. Root
said some excellent things.
Opening with a modest reference to
himself. he promised:
81 shall do my best to justify your Sc
lection, with not too much confidence in
the result, because I do not think that as

comfortable sense that 1t will be quite i'm

kindly and delightful things that have
been said about me by my friends in the

months"
Mr. Root may have had in mind. and
many reading his remarks will recall. the
experience of FIR. Evarts in the Senate.

ator he was the leader of the New York

man. Boiler plate stuff is not solicited
or accepted by him.
Such writing is as little influential as
the boiler plate petition, scattered far
and wide for signatures. That DEVICE ac-
complishes nothing. Lawmakers, In Con-
gress or in state legislatures. solicited In
that way to support this or that thing,
pay no heed. If they become curious al
all it is to know the source Of the move
ment and the controlling agency. They
we'll understand how easy 1t Is to secure
signatures to a petition; that hundreds
sign without thought or care as to the
subject. And sometimes the signatures
are bogus. There Is no danger IN waste
basketing such appeals.
This New York movement is one sign
of the size of the impending battle be-
tween Gov. Hughes and the republican
machine leaders Of the state. The propo-
sition Of the governor strikes at the root
of the machine tree. Many men have
been sheltering for years under the cover
of the caucus. limited. In the matter OF
nominations. and often Of elections, they
have been the people. Great influence and
profit have. come to them, and naturally
they are opposed to change. What does
this New York lawyer. SO lately come into
notice and office know about the sub
ject?
Much or little the governors knowledge
is now in action. He has looked into the
matter, become convinced that a change
Is necessary in the public interests. and
Is leading the fight for it. And he is
doughty champion. as his enemies in both
parties are aware.
