more familiar with the work than be-
fore.

Mercer, Pa, May 7.-Relying entire
" upon their contention that the Penn
sylvania courts have no jurisdiction in
her case, counsel for Mrs. James Boyle.
who is on trial charged with aiding
and abetting and kidnapping Of Billy
Whitla, refused today to offer any
evidence in her behalf.
Arguments to Be Made Today.
Arguments will be made tomorrow
and the defense hopes to convince the
jury OF the correctness of its conten-
tion. The claim Of the prosecution that
Mrs. Boyle participated while In this
state in the conspiracy TO kidnap the
boy, which was afterwards carried out,
will be combatted by the defense,
which will endeavor to have her re-
leased insPenusylvania and turned over
TO the authorities at Cleveland.
Yesterdays Testimony.
The state completed its testimony to-
day 1t was mainly the same as that
given yesterday in the trial of James
BOYLE but some additional witnesses
were summoned for the purpose Of
connecting Mrs. Boyle with the abduc-
ton. One of the Cleveland policemen
who took part in the arrest testified
that she said:
II am the frail little woman who
planned the whole thing"
The finding of the ransom money
seereted in her clothing was also tes-
tifed to. The proprietor of the Gran
ger apartments in Cleveland identified
Boyle and Mrs. BOYLE as the couple
who rented an apartment from her un-
der the name Of Walter. An effort was
made to prove her connection with the
plot while in Pennsylvania and her re-
mark that she expected to receive some
money soon was brought out.

Her Counsel Relies on Contention that Penn
Sylvania Courts have no Jurisdiction
PREFERS DEATH TO PENITENTIARY
Mrs. Boyle Says that She will Commit Suicide Before
She will Suffer imprisonment Principals De-
clare that they Have Not Been Permitted to Tell the
Whole Story-Would Bring in Another Person.

Judge Miller of her counsel is pre-
pairing several points tonight which
will be brought to the attention OF the
court tomorrow.
Another Person Connected With the
Case7
Throughout the proceedings today
there was an apparent desire by Boyle
and his wife to bring in the name OF
another person said to have been con-
nected with the case. During the trial
today Boyle. endeavored to tell more
than he had been asked. Il want to
tell the whole truth about this case
now" he said. ~ want the whole
thing cleared up. was not to blame.
The whole blame was on someone
else"
Statement by Mrs. Boyle.
Tonight in her cell in Jail Mrs. Boyle
said:
both Jimmie and myself have tried
to tell the whole story in connection
with this case. We have not been
pernitted to do so. 1t is not justice.
Everything should be heard and
threshed out. AS for myself, will
commit suicide before 1 will go to the
penitentiary."
Great interest is being manifested in
the community as to whether Boyle or
his wife will get chance to tell what
apparently is on their minds before
the end Of the trial. AS the testimony
has been closed on both sides. the only
chance Boyle would have would be
when called upon for any reason he
might have why sentence should not
be pronounced. If Mrs. Boyle is con-
victed she would have the same chance.
If she is acquitted she probably would
not care to bring anyone else into the
case.
