SUPPOSED TO HAVE
AN INTERESTING PAST

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
CLEVELAND. O.. March 26.-The iden-|
tity OF the woman in the case is the only
mystery that sim attached itself TO the
Whitla kidnapping. No more interesting
personality was ever connected with
crime than that OF "Helen''-as she calls
herrolf-Boyle. Rumors about the woman
and her past life run the whole gamurof
sordid reality and gilded romance. They
say she is the child OF rich parents, deli
cately reared and carefully educated, that
she left the home Of case through love Of
adventure.
The woman is beautiful. less than 25
years old. auburn hair. pink cheeks, gen
erously moulded. in appearance ht
heroine for any adventure. Her conversa-
tion and manners bear out the belief that
she has known intimately both sides Of
life. At one moment she will talk like a
refined woman and then lapse into the Ian
guage of the saloon and concert hall.
Mrs Boyle has been traced with her
husband in St. Louis. Springfield and
Sharon. but there IS no record Of her that
antedates the time when she appeared
with Boyle. Before leaving yesterday for
Mercer she declared that she came origl-
nally from Brooklyn Later evidence, how
ever. points to Chicago.
W. 4. Becker, OF Cleveland. a wealthy
Cleveland ship owner, told the police that
lie Is practically positive that the woman
IS Anna McDermott daughter Of his half
sister. who married ". F. McDermott. of
Chicago. a despatch from Chicago this
morning. says that the W. F. McDermott
family suddenly left town last night. They
are supposed TO be on their way east to
ofer aid TO Mrs. Boyle.
