EFFORT TO LAND RIVAL
IN PRISON A BOOMERANG
Collegian and ParoIed Convict Dis
pleased Because Divorced Wife
viii Marry Again

SAN FRANCISCO, May Staggered
by his divorced wife's promise to marry
w. f. Woodward, an Alaskan miner,
Jasper B. Kefford, college graduate and
paroled convict, signed Woodward's
name to worthless checks and, imper-
sonating him, passed them in an at
tempt tc land his rival in prison.
The effort was a boomerang, and
Kefford now faces a long term of i'm
prisonnent which he had planned for
Woodward.
Kefford was sentenced to San Quentin
from Los Angeles in 1906 for passing a
fictitious check. His wife, who is d
trained nurse in this city, procured a
divorce during his Imprisonment, but,
relenting, promised to marry him on
his release, so he claims.
Kefford was paroled from San Quen-
tin prison nine days ago. When he
discovered his former wife's prefer
ence for Woodward he was filled with
jealous rage and a desire for revenge.
He tore two blank checks from his
wife's check book, signed Woodward s
name to them and, representing him
self as the miner, procured goods from
a haberdasher.
These he ordered sent to Woodward S
room. Woodward was arrested; but
the police became convinced that Kef-
ford was the guilty man, and he was
arrested. The police sweated Kefford
severely and finally obtained confess
sion from him.

BRIDE-TO-BE VICTIM OF HOR-
RID MEASLES
Marriage Postponed in Chicago When
Girl Breaks Out with Plague
and Has to Be Quar-
antincd

CHICAGO, May S.-Measles, just
plain measles, but aided and abetted by
the Chicago department of health, has
baked young Cupid.
In consequence the marriage of Miss
Louise Wilson, the principal sufferer
from the measles-inaSmuch as she has
them and must await their disappear
ance before she can wed-and Arthur
McCracken has been postponed at least
two weeks.
1t was arranged to take place today.
The wedding announcements were out,
and all preparations had been made
last Monday for today's ceremony. 1t
was to be at the home of the father of
Miss Wilson.
Then, Monday evening, the bride-to-
be became ill.
"M-m-m!" muttered DIR. J. S. Beaudy
when he had seen the patient. IA

light attack, but still the measles. l
must notify the health department"
And, there being no help for it, the
health department was notified. And
the health department quarantined the
house.
Meantime there could be no wedding.
Pleadings were of no avail. The bride
to-be was a trifie superstitious about
postponed weddings and said it.
She even said she would be married
today or not at ALL which caused the
prospective bridegroom to urge that
all means be used to persuade the
health department. But his pleadings
were vain.
And so the wedding ceremony re-
mains postponed.

both persons agreed to follow.
The first provision is that Mrs. Cal
lahan must place a corrugated iron
sheathing three feet in the ground on
the boundary line. The fence to eX-
tend the length of her house; on top
of this she must build four-foot
board fence which will run from the

Must Control Tongues
The second provision concerns both
women: Neither must speak to the
other; they must not speak slightingly
of one another and must not in any
way indicate to the neighbors any
thing that would tend to cause re-
newal of the quarrel.
Both women agreed to the terms set
down by Alexander, and left the office
thanking him for settling a difference
that has caused much worry to them
selves.
Those who learned of Alexander's
successful decision in the matter con-
graduated him for displaying such
rare judgment in settling quarrel
where women were concerned, ana
complimented him on his Solomon-like
decision.
In the future, it is thought, all trou-
bles where women are concerned Will
be given to Alexander to handle, be-
cause of his, resourceful methods in
adjusting such matters.

motion for a new trial will be
made Monday. 1t is said that Judge
Williams will overrule the motion and
Immediately pass sentence on the
woman and also on her husband, who
yesterday was convicted of kidnapping.
Both, it is said, probably will be sent
to the Western Pennsylvania peniten-
tiary at Pittsburg for long terms.
Boyle is liable to life imurisonment,
and the maximum sentence in the case
of the woman is twenty-five years.
An appeal to the supreme court of
Pennsylvania will be made. In the
higher court the question as to whether
the Pennsylvania courts have jurisdic-
tion in the case of Mrs. Boyle will, 1t
is said, be fought.
Two ballots were taken by the jury
In the case of the woman.
Woman Is StoicaI
The first was IL for conviction and 1
for acquittal. The second was unanl-
nous for conviction.
Manifesting the same stoical 1ndif-
ference to her fate which characterized
her throughout her trial, Mrs. James
II. Boyle sat immovable as the jury re-
turned its verdict. A heavy veil which
she has worn throughout the trial con-
cealed her features SO that 1t could not
be seen whether her color changed, but
there was not a movement of her body
to indicate that she as much as heard
her doom pronounced. Her indifference
was even more pronounced than 1T mas
been during preceding portions of the
trial.

to suffocation when the jury filed in
at 1:3O and the foreman announced
they had agreed. The crowd was
warned that no demonstration would
be tolerated, and the verdict was read
in silence.
Quietly, as if preparing to go out
for a walk, Mrs. Boyle drew on her
gloves, arose from her chair and went
with the sheriff back to her CELL
To Ask New Trial
Judge Miller, Mrs Boyle's attorney
has announced that he will make a
motion on Monday for new trial
1t is believed here that the motion
will be overruled and that both Boyle
and his wife will be sentenced Mon
day The penalty in Boyle's case is
from one year in the penitentiary to
a life sentence, and in Mrs. Boyle's
case the maximum is twenty-five
years
On her way to Jail after her convic-
ton Mrs. Boyle expressed the belief
that she had been convicted to satisfy
the venom and jealousy of some Mer-
GER women.
Had 1 been a plain girl" she said,
"these same women would have pitied
me. If the jury had acquitted me I
believe these women would have tarred
and feathered me. A sacrifice had to
be made and Jimmie and l are the vic
tins.
"They think they will railroad me
to the penitentiary. They will find
they are mistaken"
1t was reported several days ago
that Boyle had asserted a prominent
man of Sharon instigated the abduc-
ton.

WOMAN DRINKS
CARBOLIC ACID
Continued from Page One,

phoned to Mr.. Burton, who is a real
estate dealer living at 1903 Lake street
with offices in the H. w. Hellman
building, that she wanted to see him
at once. He did not call on her as re-
quested, and Mrs. w. e. Harrison, who
has apartments at the South Figueroa
street house, noticed that Mrs. Robin
son seemed very much depressed in
spirit and acted strangely.
Says Farewell
Yesterday about noon Mr.. Burton
called on Mrs. Robinson at her apart
ments and was with her for some time.
What passed between them is not
known, but suddenly she arose from
the floor where she was sitting in front
of a little pile of trinkets, presents
from Burton, and a photograph of
himself, which she had gathered, and
going to a dressing case, took from a
drawer a two-ounce vial of carbolic
acid, and, drawing the stopper, placed
the vial to her lips with an exclamation
of farewell.
Young Mr.. Burton sprang to her side
and Wrenched the bottle from her, but
not before she had swallowed at least
half an ounce of the corrosive stuff.
Finding that she had swallowed some
of the poison, he ran from the mouse TO
a nearby drug sore and secured
physician and bottle of whisky, with
which he hurried back to the house.
THE antidote was promptly admins
tered to the woman, and after the
physician had worked with her for
some time she was pronounced out of
danger. Later she was removed to the
Good Samaritan hospital, where 1T is
reported she will be well enough to
leave in a few days.
Photographer Tries to Die
Despondent because he was out of
work, penniless and dependent on char
ity for food for himself and wife, Carl
Bodendick, a young photographer, yes
terday afternoon drank an eight-ounce
bottle of hyposulphite, used by photog-
raphers as a toning solution, and laid
himself down on the floor of the k1tch-
en- at his house, SCI Agate street, to die.
A few minutes later his wife, Mrs
Lydia Bodendick, who had been out
trying to secure work for herself, came
home and found him in conVulslons
She at once gave the alarm, and Pa
trolman Fowler came to her aid. He
sent a call for the police ambulance
and then forced a mixture of mustard
and warm water down the mans
throat, which caused him to eject much
of the poison.
When Bodendick arrived at the re-
ceiving hospital DR.. Bonynge stated
that because of the first aid treatment
by the policeman he would live.
