NDNAPER BOYLE ACCUSES
UNCLE OF WHITLA BOY
Man Sentenced to Life Imprisonment
for Kidnapping Says He Only Car
ried Out Plans Laid by
Another.

Mercer. Pa-rhat which was in
tended as the closing chapter Of the
Whitla kidnapping case Monday night
proved to be the most sensational
chapter of them all
First, James H. Boyle, convicted of
the kidnapping of Willie Whitla, was
sentenced to life Imprisonment by
Judge A. J. Williams, of the Mercer
county court. and Mrs. Helen Boyle
was sentenced to twenty-five years
Imprisonment with a fine of $4,000
Mrs. Boyle, though crushed by the
weight of her sentence, made an eff
fort TO speak in court, but the Judge
partly turned away. II is thought
that the woman intended at this time
to make the address which she had
threatened to do. exposing persons
whom she claimed had been connected
with this most sensational kidnapping,
but she was noe given the chance.
Boyle, too. tried to enter into an
argument with the court, but he, too,
was not given any leeway and he left
the court house with q smile which
! the people did not then understand
but they did later.
! Within three hours James Boyle
under the shadow of prison for the
rest of his life, had given out a public
| signed statement upon the kidnapping
| of Willie Whitla. In 1t James Boyle
accuses Harry Forker. brother-in-law
| of James p Whitla, father of Willie
Whitla. the kidnapped boy, of having
! framed the entire plot of kidnapping
and he tells of a sensational murder
which occurred IN Youngstown, Ohio
some. years ago. and the convicted
kidnaper alleges In the statement
that he has for years been blackmail
| ing Forker in connection with this
| crime.
To Boyle's charges, both Henry
Forker and James p Whitla have
made emphatic denials

enee in the customs service and for a
year or more had been in charge of the

tary Of the American legation at Picking.
He resigned from the diplomatic service
in 1908. In March of 1906 he declined
the american consulship at Annoy,

from overwork, that he was temporari-
~ insane, and that he took his life
while suffering from the mania Of pros
eeption, as on slip of paper found in
M Bainbridge's desk and in his hand
writing, he expressed himself as being
beset by plot.
