Count, Which Charges Aiding
And Abetting Kidnapping.
NOW sHElyvANTs TO TELL ALL
says Not the Half Has Been Told
She and Jimmie Will Not Go
TO Prison Alone.

Mercer Pa, May s.The jury in the
trial Of Mrs. James n. Boyle returned
verdict Of Guilty as indicated in the
second count" The second count
charged her with aiding and abetting
the kidnapping.
The jury reached verdict on the
first ballot this morning.
Life in the penitentiarN would kill
me in week or 10 days, and rather
than submit to this 1 would take the
Dutch route" said Mrs. Boyle this
morning. Like her husband, she is
anxious to tell more than has been
brought out in the trial of herself or
her husband regarding the kidnapping OF
|. "I5llly" Whitla.
IF Jimmie and i are sent to the peni-
tertiary" she said, ''we will not go
alone. Others will go with us or join
us there. Half the truth has not been
told in this case. One other man who
planned the whole affair has not been
arrested 1 ann willing to suffer for
any crime may have committed, but
there is no evidence that have been
mixed up in this case and rather than

Judge Miller. counsel for Mrs. Boyle.
asked for instructions to the jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty..
Judge Miller intimated that powerful
influences were being brought to bear
to convict the woman and there were
yelled references to the suppression OF
efforts Of the Boyles to bring into the
case the name of a third party.
ON WAY TO JAIL.
On her way to JAIL. after conviction,
Mrs Boyle expressed. the belief that
she had been convicted to satisfy the
venom and Jealousy Of some Mercer
women.
Had | been a plain girl she said
these same women would have pitied
me. If the jury had acquitted me
believe these women would have tarred
and adhered me. A sacrifice had to
be made and Jimmie and i are the vic
tins.
..They think they will railroad me to
the penitentiary. They will find they
are mistaken. My fight has only been
begun. Jimmie and i were not al
lowed to open our mouths at the trial.
Now we will do the talking and the
people will know upon whom the blame
should fall.

to me at Cleveland; that / cared for
