tence Not Yet Pronounced.

MERCER, Pa, May 6.-James w.

trial lasting few hours.
No defense was made and the Jury

That Boyle's trial came to such an

fore the abduction until his arrest in
Cleveland.
When the state rested, counsel for
the defense held conference and an

dence. The court at once summed up
the evidence and gave the case to the
jury.
The penalty is from one year to- a
life sentence in the penitentiary. SEN
tence has not yet been pronounced.

HELENA, May 6.-Word has been
received here that former Governor
Joseph K. Toole, wife and family, who
have been spending several months
in the east, are now en- route to Hele-

Child Is Taken From Its Mother
While Walking Upon the
Streets of the Cap
ital City.
CHILD RECOVERED
AS Mother With Friend Were Walking
to Street Car, They Are Attacked by
Lee Family, Who Seize Child and
Hurry 1t Upon Train.-Caught at
Helena.

HELENA. May 6.-Sensational in
deed was the kidnapping of young
Charles Peabody at the union station
here today, by the members of the
family of James Lee, when by sheer
force of strength the 6-year-old child
was taken from it's mother and anoth-
er woman and hustled aboard a North
ern Pacific train just departing for
the west. A warrant has been placed
in the hands of the sheriff, who ex-
pected to apprehend the Lees and the
child upon arrival of the train at
Missoula.
The affair was evidently planned
with great care, and was carried out
in brutal fashion. Lee, for number
of years, has been section foreman for
the Northern Pacific at Marysville. a
mining camp near here, while Pea
body is one of it's more prominent
merchants.
Six years ago child was born to
the Peabody family, and the mother
being in an enfeebled condition, Sc.
cured the services of Mrs. Lee in its
care. After some little time, Mrs.
Peabody recovered, made settlement,
with Mrs. Lee for her service, and
took the child to her home. From it's
temporary residence with them, the
entire Lee family became greatly at
tached to the infant, and this contin-
ued throughout their residence in
Marysville.
Lee was last week ordered from
Marysville and he prepared to re-
move. Mrs. Peabody was asked to
bring the child to Helena, that they
might bid it farewell. This Mrs. Pea
vody consented to do, that the parting
between the families might be friend
ly. Mrs. Peabody and son arrived
yesterday, and all met at the station
Just before the arrival of the west
bound transcontinental train.
There were many affectionate fare
wells between the Peabody child and
members of the Lee family, and the
separation finally came. The Lees
boarded the train, while Mrs. Peabody
and a Mrs. Irwin, who had accompa-
MED her to the station, started for the
street car, each holding hand of
the youngster. Before they realized
it, they were set upon by members of
the Lee family and the child wrested
from them and taken aboard the train.
The mother screamed with fright,
while Mrs. Irwin was told to hurry
along, that it was none of her affair.
Those who witnessed the affair were
too bewildered to act and the train
soon started with the child aboard
and in the custody of the Lees.
AS soon as she could collect her
wits, Mrs. Peabody hurried up town
and, calling upon her counsel for ad-
vice, they visited the county attorneys
office, where warrant was issued.
This was given to Sheriff Higgins for
service and he expects to apprehend
the Lees and the Peabody child at
Missoula.
A special to the Record from Mis-
soula states that Lee was arrested
upon the arrival of the train there,
and he and the Peabody child are now
in the custody of the officials. Sher-
iff Higgins departed this afternoon
for Missoula and will restore the child
to it's mother, while Lee will be pros
ecuted on kidnapping charge.
