Father to Help Daughter.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 27.-Wil-
liam McDermott, the retired Chicago
fireman, who believes that Mrs.
James H. Boyle, one of the alleged
kidnappers of Willie Whitla, is his
daughter, has retracted his declara-
ton made yesterday that he would
not assist the woman and on his ar
rival in this city to-day is said to
have retained an attorney. to look
after the case. McDermott did not
get a chance to see Mrs. Boyle, as the
woman had been taken away. After
the departure of the prisoner it was
learned that her sudden removal
from this city was due to a fear on
the part of the detectives connected
with the case that McDermott would
institute habeas corpus proceedings
to secure the release of the woman
he believes is his daughter.
McDermott is thought to have gone
to Mercer, a lawyer accompanying
him.
A special to the Gazette-Times, of
this city, from Mercer tonight says
that Mrs. Boyle admitted to the cor
respondent that she was Anna Nc
Dermott and that her father was
William McDermott, of Chicago.

Married Men Change.

We wonder how many Of our
readers have noticed the difference
between the man who has been mar
ried but short time and one who
has been married several years. You
can always tell young husband
from an old one. When man has
been married few months, you will
generally see him working in the
garden or fixing up about the house
and while he works he whistles, or
sings, or occasionally looks up to-
ward the window to see if any one is
watching him. A year later he is still
working in the garden, but the smile
has been exchanged for frown and
he occasionally. looks up toward the
house wondering why in the thunder
breakfast is not ready. Another
year rolls by and his looks would
sour milk, but he is still at work,
stopping occasionally to kick the dog
or throw brick at the cat. The
next year we find him sitting on the
front porch, smoking pipe, while
his wife does the digging in the gar
den. Now just watch our young
men, as one by one, they are caught
in Cupid's net and see if this rule
does not work out the problem cor
rectly.

Revenue Officers Laid Off.

Greenville, March 24.-Internal
revenue inspectors, several employees
and raiding deputies, whose services
are not absolutely necessary for the
conduct Of offices of revenue head
quarters in South Carolina, have
been told that they can take a rest
of so days beginning with April l.
The information coming TN the form
Of a letter from United States Com
missioner of Internal Revenue John
G. Capers, in Washington, was con-
veyed to four men here this week.
They are: Inspector V. B. McGaha,
Special Employees J. c. McGravey and
H. B. Hendrick, white men, and Jas.
Bryer, negro, who has drawn a
salary from the government for
looking after denatured alcohol. In
Columbia like letter has been re-
ceived and there It. will affect eight
or ten men.
Commissioner Capers says in his
letter that the appropriation for his
department is not sufficient to war
rant him in paying the warrants
drawn by the revenue men. He
therefore wants the raiding on Illicit
stills to cease for two months while
the deficit in his department is being
brushed aside.

Travelling Man Put in Jail.

Lexington, March 24.-W. E.
Lawrence, alias w. E. Lake, alias w
E. Landham, travelling man, is in
Jail here tonight, having been ar
rested in Columbia by Sheriff P. H,
Corley to-day on the charge of skip
ping his hotel bill here. Lawrence
came in on the late train last night
and registered at the Meetz hotel as
w. E. Lawrence, Rochester, N. Y.
He did not bring his baggage up
from the depot and left on the
1918 train this morning, it is
charged, without paying his bill at
the hotel. Sheriff Coriey worked a
shrewd game on Lawrence. He To-
Gated his baggage. at the union
depot and took a seat nearby. 1t was
not long before the transfer man
came with the checks for the bag
gage. The sheriff followed in hack.
Lawrence was placed under arrest
at the Wheeler stables and carried
to the police station, while Sheriff
Corley went over to Brookland to Sc
cure a warrant.
When seen at the jail tonight
Lawrence declined to have anything
to say.
He claimed to represent an adver-
tising house in New York. 1t is said
that he sold some stamps to a mer-
chant here to-day. Lawrence is a
young man of good appearance. He
seemed very nervous.

NEGROES CONDEMNED TO DIE.

of Murder.

Richmond, Va, March 24.-At

jury after 40 minutes deliberation
returned a verdict finding Joe and
Isham Taylor guilty of murder in the
first degree and John Brown guilty
of murder in the second degree and
fixing the latter's punishment at Ii
years in the penitentiary. The first
degree murder verdict carries with it
death in the electric chair.
The men are three of a number OF

Johnson, the manager of her estate
and afterwards setting fire to the
historic home, Southeast.
William Brown, son of John
Brown, is also under indictment and
his trial will commence tomorrow
1t is expected that hearing will re-
quire only a few hours and that the
verdict will be had in this case to-
morrow afternoon.
There was no indication of trouble
on the part of the large crowd in at
tendance at the trial and none is an
ticipated. The negroes seem not to
realize their position and received
the verdict calmly.

BOYS Kidnapper Lodged in Jail.

Mercer, Pa, March 26.-Heavily
manacled to Sheriff Chess and guard
ed by several detectives, James Boyle
one of the kidnappers of little Billie
Whitla. was brought here to-day
from Pittsburg and lodged in the
Mercer county Jail. His wife, it is
said, will be brought from Pitts
burg tomorrow, and the couple will
be formally arraigped on a charge of
kidnapping in a few days. Boyle
feared violence on his arrival in
Mercer and on the journey from
Pittsburg asked Sheriff Chess if he
thought the crowd would harm him.
The prisoner looked greatly relieved
when he saw only scattering OF peo-
pie at the Mercer station. Boyle was
hurried into waiting bus and taken
to the jail, where he was locked IN a
cell on the second tier. An armed
guard was placed in front of Boyle
cell, and a patrolman will be sta
toned outside the Jail all night.
Sheriff Chess said that the jail would
be guarded until the trial of the
Boyles was over.
The officials questioned the prls-
oner about his wife's identity, but
other than to say that there was no
question about the fact that he was
married, he would say nothing.
