MRS. BOYLE WILL
NOT BE TRIED
OPINION SPREADING THAT SHE
WILL SOON BE AT
LIBERTY.

Mercer, Pa, March 30.-The opin
ionn is spreading among the people OF
this county that Mrs. Boyle will not
be prosecuted but that she will very
soon be entirely eliminated from the
case and be allowed to depart. There
is said to be no local proof whatever
to connect her with the abduction
and as she absolutely refuses to aid
the local authorities in the least, the
suppositon is that she will soon be
free. This is borne out by the delay
in arranging her. Although it was
positively stated yesterday by the dis
trict attorney that they" would take
her to Sharon today for final arraign-
ment, it was stated last night that
the trip to Sharon has been aban-
doned for the present and that Mrs.
Boyle had agreed not to demand an
early hearing 1t is said her prosecu-
ton is not eagerly desired by Mrs.
Whitla, whose wishes are likely to
be respected No results are known
of an attempt to locate alleged ac-
completes and it looks as though
Boyle is to be made to bear the entire
punishment for the abduction.

Vermillion, S. d., March 30.-There
is much feeling at Burbank over the
death of young Vinson near his home
and a thorough investigation of the
case will be made. Vinson was found
dead by the roadside early in the
morning, where he had evidently been
lying since the evening before. He
was but IA years of age.
The supposition is that Vinson,
while at Burbank, had been given
whisky, enough to make him drunk.
He started for his home, a mile dis
tant, about o'clock, but never
reached it. When found his clothes
were a mass of mud. 1t is thought he
became sleepy, laid down, and was
chilled to death.
