The prisoners upon their arrival az the pen
itentiary here were taken first TO a side room

arms around "Jimmys" neck and kissed him.
She said, ave must take il the best we can
The prisoners then shook hands and the matron
red Mrs BOYLE from the room. When she
reached the corridor. she burst into tears and
asked to be permitted again 10 see her
husband. The request granted. and she

mirror she carried. saying, L CO not want TO
leave il behind, that would make me have

Mercer, but Mercer Will sleep quieter tonight
sleepy old Mercer. since we are out of it." Mr.

1t has been decided tonight, so far as Mrs
Boyle is concerned at least that no appeal will

an appeal to the Superior Court in the hope OF
securing her freedom another trial; but II

Grated she would be returned to Ohio for trial.
and that while her maximum sentence there
on one charge would be but twenty years, there
was another on which she might receive five

Youngstown Ohio May 10-The association
of the name of Harry Forker by James H. Boyle
the convicted kidnapper of Willie Whitla- with
allegations that he was connected with the
death Of Dan Rebel. jr, here in June, 1895. has
not been confirmed Dy Jne ponce IeColOS III
Youngstown
Patrolman Michael Donnelly, still an active
member Of the Police Department talked with
Rebel only an hour prior 10 his death The
two men seated at the foot Of the stairs
of the building in which Rebel lived Leaving
Rebel, DOnneliy was less than block away on
his beat when he heard noise in the direction
Of the Mauser building. He returned and found
Rebel on the sidewalk liyilSs but unconscious.
No one was in sight Rebel had been in the
habit of sitting his window sill before retfr-
ing. No ever has been suspected of know
ing the exact manner of his death. Dan Shea,
n mentioned by Boyle, was a saloonkeeper here,
and died about two years ago.
Daniel Reebe. father of the dead man, said
to-night that he would not ask the authorities
TO take any action in the matter. Reebe says
he is well acquainted with Boyle. and distrusts
him enough not TO believe his allegations.
Il believe the Coroner made a thorough in
vestigation into my sons death at the time or
the accident ReebIe said There was nothing
on which to base a suspicion that he came TO
his end by foul play. Boyle's story about my
knowing Harry For1er I DO not believe TO
be true. Neither nor any one Of my family
knows Forker and none Of US ever heard Dan
speak Of him"
