BOYLE'S SPOUSE CONVICTED.
kidnapper's Accomplice Found
Guilty in Mercer.

Mercer, Pa, May S.-Mrs. James
II. Boyle. formerly Anna Macdonald,
of Chicago, was convicted to-day on
charge of aiding, assisting and
abetting the abduction of Willie
Whita, of Sharon, Pa.
A motion for new trial will be
made Monday by her counsel but it
is said that Judge Williams will over
rule the motion and Immediately
pass sentence on the woman and also
her husband, who was convicted Of
kidnapping yesterday.
Both, it is said, probably will be
sent to the western Pennsylvania
penitentiary at Pittsburg for a long
term of years. Boyle is liable to life
Imprisonment and the maximum
sentence in the case of the woman is
Is years.
1t is probable Boyle and the wo-
man will be taken to Pittsburg Mon
day afternoon or Tuesday morning.
Later an appeal to the supreme court
of Pennsylvania will be made by the
attorneys. In the higher court the
question as to whether the Pennsyl-
vania courts have jurisdiction in the
case of the woman will be strenu-
ously fought.
Two ballots were taken by the
jury in the case of the woman to-
day. The first was 1 for conviction
and one for acquittal. The second
ballot was unanimous for the convic-
ton of the woman on the second
count, charging her with being an
accessory.
When Mrs. Boyle left the court
following her conviction a number
of persons were standing about the
building and there was possibly a
dozen near the Jail, but there was no
demonstration.
3 Mrs. Boyle, who has displayed re-
markable nerve and Indifference
since her arrest at Cleveland, O.,
maintained that attitude throughout
the ordeal today.

Desperate Prisoner Shot.

Albany, Ca, May 5.-Ely Holmes,
a desperate negro prisoner in the
Lee county Jail, at Leesburg, was
shot to death this afternoon in a
hand-to-hand fight with Deputy Sher-
iff H. D. Logan in a dark cell in the
Jail, fight in which the loser could
not leave the cell alive. Both men
realized this, according to Deputy
Logan, and when his chance came he
killed the negro. He had entered
Holmes cell and the negro attacked
the deputy with a stool, beating the
officer numerically before the latter
could draw his pistol. Then fight
began for it's possession, which ended
when the deputy fired and the negro
fell to the floor dead.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 9.-At a
late hour tonight Robert Aldrich, a
well known citizen, was shot. and

JURY COULDN'T AGREE.
Homicide Trial at Orangeburg Re-
suits in q Mistrial..

Orangeburg, May 9:-The case of
w. NJ. Carter and H. S. Spires,
charged with the murder of James A.
Reed, was concluded yesterday after
noon at 4:30 and given to the jury:
The jury remained out all night and
returned into court this morning at
ten o'clock and announced that
agreement was impossible and was
discharged by the court.
There is good authority for the
statement that the jury stood II to 1
for acquittal, though early in the
night 1t was rumored that three were
holding out for conviction.
The failure to reach a settlement
of this case is a decided misfortune,
as much bad feeling exists, and will
possibly remain and spread in the
community where the parties con-
cerned reside.

piece of land, from which ne was
shot. He was shot twice, both shots
taking effect. One shot passeo
through his hand while the otner

not vet seen him and the extent OF
his injuries could not be stated.

FANS AND BACTERIA.
Effects Of ventilators Are Harmful
Rather Than Beneficial.

cHeeeS OF ventIiatorS Are harmful
Rather Than Beneficial.
In Bruises an investigation has been
made CT the effect CT ventilating fans
in restaurants and other public places,
says the Scientific American. Some Of
the ventilators simply agitated the air,
while others were connected with
openings in the wall. The experiments
were made by determining the number
OF bacteria in a cubic meter Of air be-
fore the ventilator had been started
and after it had been running an hour
or two hours. The results may be sum-
married. as follows:
In number of cafes and restau-
rants the number of bacteria in a
cubic meter of air in the morning be-
fore the ventilators were started
ranged from 10000 to $4,000. After an
hours running the number ranged
from 1900 to $4,000. After two hours
running the number ranged from 27,-
500 to 5000. Another experiment was
made in laboratory where remedies
for tuberculosis were prepared. Here
the number Of bacteria rose from $500
before the ventilator was started to
$1,000 after one hours running and to
$4,000 after two hours running.
Another experiment was made in a
private parlor. The number Of bac-
terra per cubic meter, $50 before the
starting of the ventilator, rose to 2,5CO
in one hour and to 1000 in two hours.
The ventilator was then stopped. Two
hours later the number Of bacteria
per cubic meter had fallen to TOO.
These figures are so eloquent that no
further discussion is needed to show
that the ventilators used in all these
cases did far more harm than good b.
creating lively current of air, which
stirred up and carried with it dust
containing bacteria.

This high voltage produces in the

ordinary atmospheric air drawn
through the ozonizer into ozone. The
water flows under it's own pressure
into the apparatus and as it moves
along is caused to undergo treat
ment by commingling with the ozone
generated. when the bacteria in the
water are thoroughly removed.
The explanation Of this action is:
Chemical analysis Of the bodies of
bacteria shows that they are made up
of about 81 per cent Of water and 1G of
solids. Of these solids more than half
is made up of carbon. The strong at
finity of oxygen for carbon is well
