started with the death on June 10th,
1895, of Dan Feeble, ir., who fell to
death from a window OF his room on the
top floor OF a youngstown rooming
house. This was at daylight. Boyle
says he happened by and saw bending
over Reeble's body the Sharon man
whom be now accuses. He says this
man was gathering up letters which bad
fallen from Reeble's pocket. Boyle de-
clares the Sharon man dropped four oil
the letters, which he picked up snd by
means OF which be blackmaled the
Sharon mau until this spring. de claims
further that .be Sharon man to escape
the blackmailrg, turned Billy Whitls
over to him at Warren. Donnelly was
the pstrolman on the beat at the time
Reebles fell from the window. He says
he stood across the street not more than
200 feet away. He was The first man
to reach the spot and remained there

Pittsburg, Pa, May 11.-"Tell the
people leave behind me that | appre-
, ciste all the sympathy and good wishes
+, tina! have been extended to me and that
though am, for time, unable to do
anything to help my cause, think there
will be found not few who will work
for me aud who will not let me long be
martyr to the cause of revenge"
This was the only message coming to
day from 1862 A." otherwise Helen
Boyle, who last night began her rs years
sentence in the Western penitentisry for
her participation in the kidnapping OF
Billy Whitls. There Is one thing that
is worrying Mrs. Boyle today. There
is no nanicurist at the Western peni-
Tertiary.
"I Eant to know" she said, chow
an to get my nails manicured. You see |
an proud of nv hands and the condition
of my nails 1t would be simply awful
to have your nails grow long while one
s growing quickly old aud the prison
pallor bleaches your features. However,

accomplishing exactly what l want"
Jimmy Boyle is in anything bat q
good humor today. The prison barber
is through with him. he was in the
barber's chair when asked II he had any
message to give ont.
"TeIl the public to go To-" was all
he had to say. However, his appetite is
good. II Mrs. Boyle knows anything
about cooking the prison authorities will
, likely place her in the kitchen. They
are undecided as yet what to do with
Jimmy.
