MRS. BOYLE GUILTY
WITH HUSBAND
OF KIDNAPPING
Jury Reaches Verdict on First
Ballot That She Aided and
Allotted Crime.
INTRODUCES MYSTERIOUS
THIRD PARTY in ABDUCTION
But Every Effort to Give the
Name Is Suppressed in
Court.

MERCER. Pa, May s.-The jury In
the trial Of Mrs. James Boyle returned
a verdict of guilty as indicated in the
second count" The second count
charged her with aiding and abetting
the kidnapping of BILLY" Whitla.
The case was placed in the jurys
hands at 11:40 o'clock and the verdict
was reached on the first ballot. The
womans husband was found guilty of
the kidnapping yesterday.
Life in the penitentiary would kill
me in week or ten days, and rather
than submit to this I would take the
Dutch route" said Mrs. Boyle today.
.'If Jimmy and are sent to the pen-
itentiary,' she said, I'VE will not go
alone. Others will go with us or join
us soon there.
Half the truth has not yet been told
in this case. One other man who
planned the whole affair has not been
arrested. I am willing to suffer for
any crime I may have committed, but
there is no evidence that have been
mixed UP u this case, and rather than
suffer injustice from this court I will
quit this earth and take justice from
my Maker"

TAX RATE. HELPED
. BY. PAYMENT OF
SEWER BONDS
$50, 1000 Turned Into Sinking
Fund May Reduce the Pro
Rata Assessment.

One and two-fifths points have been
stricken from the prospective tax rate
by the payment of the $4,000 inter-
cepting sewer refunding bonds out of
the $4,000 surplus in the hands of the
Sinking Fund Commission. The re-
funding bonds fell due on April TO-
The issue was but for one year and
was designed to make good a deficit in
the sinking fund on the twenty-year
sewer bonds issued in 1888 For some
reason a sinking fund of only . per
cent. was provided for the original
issue, which was for 100000.
When the bonds matured year ago
there was shortage of $4,000 in the
fund to meet them Accordingly an
issue for that amount for one year was
authorized. 1t was expected that it
would be taken care of by the tax levy,
but with a 81 tax rate menacing it was
decided to meet them out of the $4,000
surplus in the sinking fund from bonds
maturing during March of this year.

SURPLUS Of CITY
|. HALL COMMISSION
TO SINKING FUND
Site of Old Building at Broad and
William Streets to Be Sold
Wednesday.

Future taxpayers are to be bene-
flied by the decision of the financial au-
ithorities of the city with regard to the
use to which the surplus. soon to be
turned over by the new City Hall Com
mission, shall be put Next Wednes-
day the old City Hall property at Will
lam and Broad streets is to be sold at
auction, and with the sale of the
property. the work of the commission
will end. and will give back to the city
a surplus of from $4,000 to $50, 900 that
has not been used in the conducting
of its affairs. This surplus will be made
part of the sinking fund, and will be
used to take care of the 81, 100000 thirty
year City Hall bonds now outstanding
The idea is not to make use of the
money at once. but to continue putting
the sinking fund for the bonds into
the tax levies until 1t becomes apparent
that with the addition of the amount in
hand the bonds will be full. Then the
item will be taken out of the budget
during the remaining life of the bonds.
and the tax levy will be decreased by
that amount

FAMILY SILENCE
ADDS MYSTERY TO
BROKERS' SUICIDE
Refuse to Discuss Self-Destruc.
ton Of Louis D. Leggeit
in MOntclair.

An element Of mystery was today
thrown about the suicide of Louis D.
Leggett. who killed himself last night
in his home, 255 Orange street, Mont
clair. while brooding over financial
troubles. by the absolute refusal on the
part of his relatives to talk When
asked as to the date of the funeral the
vulge was that the funeral will be
strictly private. 1t is said that the re-
cent bull market cost Mr.. Leggett
thousands of dollars. and that his losses
brought on form of melancholia. All
who were in the house at the time OF
the shooting disclaim having heard
any report.
The first intimation that the family
had last night that anything had hap
pened to MIR. I.eggett was a piece o.
paper found on the telephone by his
mother-in-1aw, Mrs. Garrett. On this
was written, "Call DIR. Leslie C. Love
Is Church street, Montclair, at once
This Mrs. Garrett did. and then, in ac-
cordance with the doctor hurried adj
vice, searched the house, to find hel
son-in-law lying across a bed on the
third floor dying of a bullet wound in
the head. Soon after that the doctor
accompanied by Chief OF Police Henry
Gallagher. whom DIR. Love had imme-
diately summoned when Mrs. Garrett
telephoned him the result of her search
arrived. Mr.. Leggett was still breath
ing when the officials came, but in a
few minutes died.
Deputy County Physician Herbert NJ
Simmons, of East Orange. issued a

BANKER
WALSHs WAYS OF
GETTING WEALTHY
Would Get Hold Of Struggling
Enterprises and Sell Them to
Corporations He Started.

ss CHICAGO, May S.-Arguments of
the government in opposition TO the
appeal of the convicted banker, John
r. Walsh, to the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals, are contained in the
brief filed today by Assistant District
Attorney Fletcher Dof5byns. in reply
to the brief filed byscounsel for the de-
fendant month ago. Walsh is under
a sentence of five years imprisonment
for alleged misapplication of the funds
of his bank, the defunct Chicago Ma
tional.
Mr.. Walsh says the brief. was
engaged in the promotion of large
number of struggling enterprises,
which were in desperate need of funds.
Generally speaking, his mode of pro-
cedure was: He would learn of some
enterprise that was. bankrupt or was
to go into bankruptcy and he would
purchase it at a very low price He
would then organize a corporation and
sell the enterprise to this corporation,
taking in payment. the capital stock of
the new corporation and sufficient
number of bonds which at their face
value would more than reimburse him
for the price he originally paid for the
property. If the enterprise was sue
cessful MIR. Walsh made the profit and
the bank got its interest on the bonds.
If the enterprise should fail Mr.. Walsh
lost nothing and the bank lost the
amount of the investment.
when the banks closed Mira Walsh
had taken about 100000 of their
funds for his personal speculation, yet
his name appeared nowhere upon the
books as debtor or borrower"
