His Wife.
Sheriff's Suspicious Frustrated Plot-Woman Swallow

Affect Her.

for her collapse in court after SEN
tnce had been imposed. All last night
Boyle entreated Sheriff Charles Chess
to allow him to go to Mrs. Boyle'Ss cell
or permit her to visit him that they
might talk over some private affairs.
Sheriff Chess was suspicious, how
ever and without directly refusing the
request put off the meeting. Sheriff
Chess says he believes that the pur-
pose of the razor was to kill Mrs. Boyle
during the interview and then for
Boyle to kill himself At noon to-day
three hairpins were taken from Mrs.
Boyle. The only comment Of Mr..
Whitla, BiIly's father was, I'm glad
it's over
In his charge Judge Williams held
that the kidnapping had aged the
father 20 years and Whitla looked it.
Attorney Miller. for Mrs. Boyle said
that since with good behavior she
would be in the penitentiary only Is
years and months, he thought it
would be no use making an appeal
that might send her back to Ohio for
trial.
Sheriff Chess said he would take the
prisoners to the penitentiary at AL
bany as soon as possible. He fears
Boyle may make another attempt to
escape and wants to get him off his
hands. Later in the day Mrs. Boyle
recovered herself in her cell and talked
volubly. She told a story which she
wanted to tell in court this morning.
She declared that she had no idea
that the boy she harbored at the
Cleveland apartment house was kid
mapped.

OLD GRUDGE

Especial from United Press.)
New York, May 10.-Tony Crizento,
an ex-policeman in Palermo, Italy, lies
in the Harlem hospital today, stabbed
in 26 places as a result of a ten-year-
old grudge held against him by Raphel
Calvenni, whom the former arrested
half a score years ago.
Crizento and Calvenni have been liv-
ing in Harlem for year or so. Each
was unaware OF the others presence.
Early today Crizento stopped to light
a cigar. The match flared up. At
his elbow he heard a cry. He turned
and recognized the man who ten years
ago he had taken into custody in far
off italy. Crizento prepared for what
he knew would be a death struggle.
Calvenni quickly struck Crizento on
the jaw, telling him. When the two
men lay on the sidewalk struggling
Calvenni pulled pocket knife, slash
ing his victim. A policeman saw the
struggling men, pulled them apart,
took Crizento to the hospital and ar
rested Calvenni charging him with
felonious assault.

Washington, May 10. = The case of
John C. Davis, the Washington attor-
ney who is charged with defrauding
people in this city, mostly women, out
of between s25oo 600 and $500. 600, was
presented to the Federal Grand Jury
to-day. A thorough search of Davis
effects has failed to reveal any appre-
ciable facts and as both he and his
brother Martin who is also under ar
rest lived nlodestly and had no ex-
trayagant habits, the authorities are at
a loss to account for the disappearance
of fabulous sums of money alleged to
have been secured from his victims os-
tensibly for investment. A force of
experts was put today on the books
of the building and loan association
which Davis organized several years
ago and of which his brother was sec
rotary. Since his arrest Davis has
been talking in rambling manner,
mostly on religious subjects.
In the opinion of the jailers he is.

POWERFUL PLEA TO

Although Some Chance that
Judge Garretson May
Charge Jury This Even

Will Not Do So Before
Tomorrow.
Especial from United Press.)

Flushing. L. l., May 10.-Parading
before the jury again and again the
alleged acts of William E. Annis with
his wife Of his slayer and making but
thinly yelled attempt to strike the
insanity plea while at the same time
dwelling strongly on the unwritten law
which justifies the killing of home
breakers John F. Mcintyre made a
powerful plea to, the jury to acquit
Captain Peter G. Hams to-day. He
stated when he began his address that
he would consume four hours although
Justice Garretson had limited both
sides to hours. and the burden of his
er when he discovered the alleged rela-
lions between Mrs. Hams and Annis.
There were the usual morbid crowd
in the courtroom. Although there is
chance that Justice Garretson may
charge the jury this evening the gen.
eral impression Is that he will let law
yers for both sides utilize to-day for
their talks and will reserve his charge
until tomorrow. sending the twelve
men to deliberate before noon. Nc
Intyre reviewed at some time the jury
system and dwelt upon the RESPONSE
bility of the twelve. He then called
attention to the fact that Captain
Hams three children are now with
There mother is gone from them"
he said. "and the grandparents will
soon pass to another sphere. If you
send their father to prison they will
be left to fight life's battle alone. 1t
was an act Of Almighty God rather
than that of an insane man when Cap
tain Peter Hams shot and killed Will
liam E. Annis. the seducer of his wife.
I cannot appeal to you under the law
of the old testament. The Assaulterer
Shall Be Put to Death neither can
cite the Roman law ANY Man May
Kill an Adulterer.' But do ask you,
each of you. who has little children
awaiting you at home cared for by a
loving wife. to judge If this man was
not driven to this terrible deed by the
tales told him Of his wife and Annis.''

in DEBATE ON
TARIFF TODAY
ESPECIAL from United Press.)

(Spec1al from OnlIeO FIeSS.J
washingto May 10.-As the OPEN
ing number in the Senate tariff debate
today there was a little clash between
Senators Beveridge and Aldrich. Bev-
eridge had complained several times
that the committee on finance has fall
ed to supply the Senate with satisfac-
tory information regarding the scheo-
ules. In this connection he caused to
be read by the clerk an extract from
the speech of Senator McCumber. (Re-
publican), in which the latter said that
a large store of Information had been
assembled by the House and Senate
committees but it had not been assign
ed in an orderly way for the instruc-
ton of Senators.
= Beveridge also caused to be read a
selection from the speech in the Sen
ate by Aldrich in which the latter ad-
mitted that he had read none of the
testimony given at the hearings and
did not know what went on before the
House committee on Ways and Means.
Aldrich responded somewhat hotly
that the statement in his speech re-
ferred only to Orange mineral. Il
have given thirty years Of study to
this subject he said.
Beveridge started to launch a re-
ply but Hepburn, (Republican. Idaho,)
who had yielded the floor, insisted up
on proceeding with his own speech and
Beveridge had to subside.

Now that confidence has begun to

the evidence is patent that we are
again entering upon an era of imitation

drastic international liquidation,
thorough "house-cleaning'' in the tenn
Piles of securities operations, in bank
ing and like institutions and in rail-

had grown up. The unmistakaBle
proofs of business progress are all the
