MRS. BOYLE IS DUMB.
Refuses to Answer Question Asked in
Grand Jury Room.

Mercer. Pa. April 2s.-An attempt
was made today by District Attorney
]. NJ. Lininger to have Mrs. James Fl.
Boyle testify before the grand jury
She was taken from the jail to the
grand jury room. When her counsel,
former Judge Miller. heard of 1t, he
rushed to the room and instructed her
to refuse to say a word. She followed
his instructions. Mr.. Lininger then
went before Judge Williams and asked
that the woman be committed for con-
tempt.
Judge williams said it was too seri-
Gus a. matter to decide without having
it fully argued, but ruled that neither
Bowie nor his wife could be compelled
to testify until he decided the question.
The first question asked of Mrs. Boyle
was "Are you married to James H.
Boyle?"
The state will try to prove that she
is not so she can be used as witness
against him.
The grand jury becoming anxious af-
ter an alleged attempt to liberate Boyle
had Sheriff Chess move the prisoner to
another cell.

Mr.. Stewart had been at the hos
pital since March 80. On March 81
he underwent an operation, the ma
ture of which the physicians have not
made public.
A week ago his condition became
worse and he sank steadily until this
morning, when he passed away. Sena-
tor Stewart was 81 years of age and
had been a familiar figure in this city
during the better part of the last half
century.
Ex-senator William Morris Stewart
was born in Lyons, n. Y, August g.,
1927. His early childhood was spent
in Ohio, where he acquired an aca-
demic education. In 1S49 he entered
Yale college, but was attracted by the
gold discoveries in California, and in
May, 1860, landed in San Francisco.
1t was in California that he was
married TO Miss Annie E. Foote.
daughter Of ex-senator Foote. of Mis-
sissippi. Then abandoning the gold
search, he begaH %4studying law, and
was admitted to the bar in 1852. For
a short time prior to his marriage, he
conducted small mining operations
and accumulated some money, but his
law practice proved the best invest
ment In 1854 he had risen to the
position of attorney general of Cali
fornia.
In 1860 he removed to Virginia
city, Nevada, WnefG ne pracIlceQ law,
and It was here that he became inter
ested in the Comstock Lode, one of the
richest mines of the west. In S61 he
was a member of the territorial coun-
Gil, and in 1863 a member of the con-
stitutional convention. He was United
States senator from 1863 to 1875, and
then resumed the practice of law,
which he continued until 1887, when
he was again elected to the senate and
served until 1905. OF recent years he
has lived at Bullfrog, Nevada.
Mr.. Stewart was the living incarna-
tion of Santa Claus and on this ac-
count as we'll as on account of his
kindly disposition he appealed strongly
to the imagination of children. Prob
ably no more picturesque or rugged
character was ever known to the SEN
ate. He was much in evidence around
the senate chamber until within the
last few weeks. Coming to the senate
first in 1865 he had been a member of
that body for 2S years. He entered
the senate as one of the youngest men
in that body and finally left it as one
of the Oldest
Except for the first campaign OF
Bryan is 1896 when the silver issue
was most prominent, Mr.. Stewart was
a Republican. He was however. a
man of independence and often voted
contrary to the wishes of the party
caucus. He took a prominent part in
setting aside the force bill in 1892, and
he never failed to cast his vote in the
interest of the white metal whatever

"The principal features of the lee
ture on Victor Hugo's Les Mis-
erables,' as delivered at Richfield last
Saturday night by Richard ]. Hopkins
were the giving of a short synopsis
of the adventures of Jean Vatican,
and comparison of the harsher treat
ment accorded prisoners in times past,
to the more modern reformatory
methods adopted in the various pris-
ons and reformatories. The lecture
dealt very largely with the characters
of the Bishop, Famine, Javert and
Jean Vatican. The audience paid
strict attention throughout. Even
those who have never read the book
seemed to be interested in every de-
tail of the story.
THE occasion of the entertain
ment was for the purpose of raising
funds to redecorate the interior of the
Richfield church; quite a substantial
sum being realized in this way.
"Richfeld is the county seat of
