MRS. BOYLE'S

All O.her Points in Whitla Kidnapping
 Cleared Up.
Abductors Taken to Sharon Today and
 Will be Given Hearing TOm.rrow.

Pittsburg, March 26.-The stay in Pittsburg of Billy Whitla's abductors was short. At one this afternoon James H. Boyle and his supposed wife. Helen Boyle or Falkner, left for Sha- ron, Pa., under a. charge of Kidnapping. They will be given a preliminary hear ing tomorrow. The couple arrived here from Cleveland late last night and were whisked in an automob bile to the Allegheny County jail.
 At Youngstown and Mercer a crowd was awaiting the arrival of the train and the sheriff telegraphed that the crowd was getting riotous. Imme- diately a change of trains was made. The wrath of the Mercer people had cooled considerably to-day, however
 Cleveland, March 26-The identity of the woman in the case is the only mystery that still attaches itself to the Whitla Kidnapping. No more inter- with a crime than that of Helen" Gas she calls herself) Boyle. Rumors about the woman and her past life run the whole gamut of sordid reality the child of rich parents, delicately reared and carefully educated; that she left the home of these through love of adventure. The woman is pink cheeks, generously nolded. in ap- pearance a fit woman for any ad- venture. Her conversation and man. ners bear out the belief that she has known intimately both sides of life. At one moment she will talk like a re- fined woman and then lapse into the language of the saloon and concert hall.
 z Mrs. Boyle has been traced with her husband in St. Louis, Springfield and Sharon. but there is no record of her that antedates the time when she ap- peared with Boyle. Before leaving yesterday for Mercer, Pa. she declar- ed that she came originally from Brooklyn. Later evidence, however points to Chicago.
 w. A. Becker. of Cleveland. veal thy Cleveland ship-owner, told the po- lice that he is practically positive that the woman is Anna McDermott. daugh- ter of his half-sister. who married w. F. McDermott of 5s0 Cleveland ave nue, Chicago. A despatch from Chi cago this morning says that the w F. McDermott family suddenly left town last night. They are supposed to be on their way east to offer aid to Mrs. Boyle.

 Liverpool, March 26-Lutteur III, the French crack. with Parfrement in the saddle, won the Grand National. R. W. Fares Judge was second with F. Bibby's Caubeon third
 The race was worth s15000 to the winner but the honor of being first past, the post in this event is worth much more than money to the British sportsman. The betting against the winner was 100 to 9 with plenty of money on him at the last moment, al- though he receded in the betting after the opening prices were posted.

 MURDER THEORY

Vincennes, Ind, March 26.-The po- lice of Vincannes are convinced that Mrs. Russell Culbertsen who died yes- terday from carbolic acid poisonin g.. was not murdered.

Near Mrs. Culbertson. they say. was found a strip of muslin. from which had been torn the material used to bandage the woman's head as she lay bound and gagged. It is a,so claimed that the handwriting n the threatening letters had been compared with letters known to be in the hand writing of the mysterious, formsr sweetheart of Culbertson and show a greater similarity with the dead wom- ans handwriting. ss
 Still another point that incl,nes the police to disbelieve the murder tn ory, which is advanced by the womanss relatives, is the report that she had attempted suicide a year ago. Chief of Police Evans said to-day that it would have been a simple matter for Mrs. Culbertson to address these threaten ing letters to herself. drink carboio acid place the bandage over h ad and bind her hands so that they should appear firmly bound The family re- fuse to accept the theory that he bride killed herself.

OTHER INCIDENTS OF JUDGE
RoHNERT's JUVENILE COURT.

Edward Bolendahl. the lad whose
mother complained that he had been
farmed out by the superintendent OF
the D'Arcambal farm, was In juvenile
court, Friday, with his mother ana
grandmother. Mrs. Bolendahl explain
ed that she had sent her boy TO the
farm three years ago when her nus
band left her, and recently she learn
ed that he had been adopted by a
kfarner, named Pangborn. near Farm
ington.
Judge Rohnert tried to explain to
the woman that her boy was not
adopted, that he was merely living
with the farmer and going to school.
Mrs. Bolendahl argued that he was
adopted, and she insisted that he be
taken from the farmer and sent TO the
reform school. Judge Rohnert tried
to reason with the women that the
boy was guilty of no crime. Then the
grandmother got into the debate, and
soon had her daughter and Judge
Rohnert faded" She insisted that
the boy be put where he could be sent
To school at the state expense.
What is education for" the old
lady shouted, waving her hand aloft,
but to keep the glorious flag waving
above our dear country. and" but
at that point Judge Rohnert silenced
her, and ordered both women to shut
up.
Since you women are determined
to take the boy from good. clean
home, where he goes to school every
day. will have him brought into the
city" said the court. You can take
him, and | will see that he goes to
school every day.
When the women grabbed the boy
and led him from the court the sym
patty of the spectators went with him.
Jennie Rohl, the 10-year-old girl
found living In a shack near Dearborn
with her stepfather mother and man
named Cousineau, was sent to the
House of the Good Shepherd until her
mother finds a better home for her.
The child wept pitifully and pleaded
to be allowed to remain with her
mother.
The testimony disclosed that the
four people live in small shack Oh
two rooms, that Cousineau occupies
the only bed In the place, and the
other three sleep on the floor on
few dirty old clothes, and covered with
carpet. About all they have to eat Is
game caught in traps.
Title Yost, of No. 1873 Roosevelt
ave, will probably go TO the industrial
school. She ran away from home six
weeks ago, and she whispered to the
Judge the kind of life she had been
living recently.
