Returns A Verdict After Five Min

THE WOMAN THREATENS SUICIDE.
She Says She viii Kill Herself Rather
Than Go To Prison--Attempt
Made To implicate An
other Person.

Mercer, Pa, May S.--After being out
only five minutes the jury this after
noon returned verdict holding Mrs.
James Boyle guilty of aiding and abet-
: ting IN the KIDNAPPING of Willie Whitla.
The extreme penalty IS 20 years in
the penitentiary. She, says she will
commit suicide before she will go to
prison.
Relying entirely upon their conten-
tion that the Pennsylvania courts
have no jurisdiction in her case. coun-
sci for Mrs. Boyle refused to offer any
evidence in her behalf.
The claim of the prosecution that
Mrs Boyle participated while in this
state in the formation of conspiracy
to kidnap the boy, which was after
wards carried out, will be combatted
by the defense, which will endeaVor

Little Change In Testimony. s
The state completed it's testimony
yesterday afternoon. II was mainly
the. same as that given Thursday in
the trial of James Boyle, but there
were some additional witnesses sum-
moned to connect Mrs. Boyle with
the abduction. One of the Cleveland
policemen, who took part in the ar,
rest, testified that she said: s 81
Il am the frail little woman who
planned the whole thing" "a
4 The finding of the ransom money
secreted in her clothing was also
testified to. The proprietor of the
Granger apartments in Cleveland
identified Boyle and Mrs. Boyle as
the couple who rented an apartment
from her under the name of Walter.
An effort was made to prove her con-
nection with framing up the plot
while in Pennsylvania and her remark
that she expected to receive some
money soon, was brought out. IT,.
Try to lmplieate Third Person.
Throughout the proceedings there
was an apparent desire upon the part
of Boyle and his wife to bring out the
name of another person said to have
been connected with the case Dur
ing the trial Boyle endeayored to tell
more than he had been asked. %
want to tell the whole truth about
this case now" said he. Il want the
whole thing cleared up. i was not to

Great interest is being manifested
In the community as to whether
Boyle or his wife will get chance
to tell what apparently is on thei
minds before the end of the trial. Al
the testimony has been closed OF
both sides, the only chance Boyle
would have would be when callet
upon for any reason he might hav'
why sentence should not be pro
nounced. If Mrs Boyle Is convicted
she would have the same chance.
