Helen Boyle
Is Cleared Up
Attorney Admits
She Is Helen
McDern1ott

MERCER, Pa, April 22.-Mrs.
Boyle, the alleged wife OF James H.
Boyle. abductot Of Willie Whitla, is a
mystery no longer last night the
Associated Press was given absolute
information that the woman is Helen
McDermott, of Chicago. Previous
stories to the effect she was a mem.
Der Of a prominent and wealthy fam
lily are without any foundation what
ever. Last night Attorney t. c.
Cochrane, representing the prosecu-
ton admitted that Mrs. Boyle was
Heyeu MoDermott. Her family re-
sides in Chicago and have been prom.
inently mentioned In connection with
the case since the woman's arrest.
Attorney j. P. stranahan, Jr., con.
firmed the Identification absolutely.
1t is said that It has been intentions
Of the prosecution to make public
Mrs, Boyle's real IDENTITY before the
beginning Of the trial. BY doing this,
thereby taking away the fascinating
mystery which has surrounded her,
the prosecution hoped to score heav-
lily. 1t is realibed that tae prosecu-
tion has been successful. Mrs. Boyle
is not a member of wealthy and
prominent family as the public has
been informed.
Money Sent Regularly.
Attorney Stranahan said last night
that Mrs. Boyle's brother had visited
her once.
He returned to Chicago to prepare
means for her defense. Since that
time, funds have come from Chicago
regularly to Mrs. Boyle. During the
latter part of the week a deposit Of
$1,000 was made In Mrs. Boyle's favor
here.
Attorney Cochrane has had posses
sion of all the facts, concerning the
woman for some time and promises
a brilliant expose of her varied ca
reer. Facts IN regard to her alleged
visits in Kansas City. st. Louis, Den
yer, East st. Louis, Louisville, Detroit.
Chicago, Cleveland, st. Joseph, Mo-.
and Brooklyn are to be made public
by the prosecuting counsel.
Three days ago, the woman's coun-
sci were surprised to ascertain that
the agents OF the prosecution had
wormed from the McDermott family
the life history Of the elusive Helen
as sae signs her name.

should do so.
To accomplish as much as possible, the organization
should have secretary who could give considerable time
to the work, and who should be paid for his time. To
meet this and other necessary expenses good plan would
be for the members to pay monthly dues. These Matters
however, and the scope and character of the work. be
decided upon by the members The main thing at present
is to get the organization started
line of work which such an organization could prop

The matter of securing business industries for

1t is reasonable to suppose that
before many years a branch rail-
road will be built along the north
fork Of the Flathead river, in
Flathead county, and thence into
the British possessions, and the
fact that various railroad inter-
ests are seeking charters from
the Canadian government to
build through this country shows
that it is looked upon as a prob
able desirable move for the fu-
ture. 1t hardly seems probable,
however, that any construction
work will be done upon such a
line in the immediate future,
but with the rapid development
that this section of the country
is undergoing the time may not
be far distant when the road will
be built.
