SAYS HIS WIFE is INNOCENT.
A few minutes before the Erie train
left the station, the couple was hur-
ried from Central police station to
the depot I'm parol wagon A squad
OF patrolmen had been sent in ad-
vance to prevent a crush, but as the
prisoners alighted from the wagon a
great throng surged about them and
1t was with difficulty tnat path
was cleared TO the coaches. AS Boyle
and his wife, each accompanied by
| two patrolmen, walked through the
train shed. thecrowd greeted them
with boots and iecrs.
That Mrs. Boyle had nothing to do
with the actua! kidnapping of Willie
lWhltla was the statement made by
the woman and her husband. Police
Prosecutor Daniel Gull was in con-
versation with Boyle and the latter
said that although he expects to be
"railroaded' when tried in Pennsyl-
| vania, there is absolutely no way to
connect his wife with any offcnse
committed in that state. He referred
to Mrs. Boyle as "the woman"
To the Associated Press, Mrs Boyle
said she first saw "Billy" here in
Cleveland, and that she "had nothing
to do with the other part of the case
Mrs. Boyle apparently was in good
spirits, but her husband maintained
an Indifferent manner, having little to
say. Most OF the questions asked
were addressed to Mrs. Boyle, and
all eyes in the small circle of listen

"Why don't some one look at MT.
Boyle?" asked Chief Kohler.
NOT so CHARMING AS HIS WIFE.
''He is not so charming" came

''But maybe III get the chance now"
she added merrIIy.
Mrs. Boyle also denied that she IS
anyway related to the Whitla family.
She said she had never been in Glove
land before, but when asked If she
had been in Sharon a smile at her
husband was the only answer.
"What dld YOU think of Billy?"
Mrs, Boyle was asked.
HHe is a dear child, and really
hated to part with him." she said.
TO Chief Kohler, Mrs. Boyle said
she was born and reared in Chicago
and that her father is a resident of
that city.
The last doubt as TO the identity
of Boyle was removed when Thomas
r. Boyle, of Sharon, called at the
police station and said the prisoner
is his brother.
Thomas Boyle, after leaving the
office Of Chief Kohler said it would
have been better had his brother
James been killed Tuesday night by
the officers, who shot In the air, when
Boyle attempted TO escape arrest.

gums I'M Cleveland that night that
the bullets had reached their mark"
Thomas Boyle said, the tears start
