Efforts of Her Attorney to Have Her

MERCER. Pa, April H.-It was learned
here tonight that the effort OF former
Judge Miller. counsel for Mrs. James II.

have the Ohio courts claim jurisoict'o on

Ohio authorities expect to TAX no action
in the case unless the woman's convic-
tion in Pennsylvania should fail. Had the
Cleveland officials desired Mrs. Boyle,
habeas corpus proceedings could have
been instituted on the ground OF the prior
indictment in that state. However, the
Ohio authorities have agreed to let her
be tried here first on account Of the
more stringent laws of this state.
Judge Miller has not returned and It is
understood he is cndeavoring to secure
witnesses to establish an slibi for Mrs.
Boyle. Attorney T. c. Cochran. who will
prosecute the cases. said:
Grand jury indictments against the
Boyles charging kidnapping will be re-
turned Friday morning. The trials will

rate trials. Boyle being arraigned first.

While Boyle is reputed to nave called
on his relatives for enough money to buy

in luxury. II is reported that rich rela-
tives have deposited to her credit here
$1,000. No one but her attorney, 1t is said,
knows where 1t came from, but it is
taken as evidence of the truth of the re-
port that she is from a prominent and
wealthy family. That she is best known
near st. Louis Is evidenced by the guam
tity of mail she receives from there. It
is said that she gets many letters from
East st. Louis and that in one which ar
rived a few days ago there was a golden
brooch with a heart of gold pendant. 1t
