WOMAN THREATENS SUICIDE
Defendant says She VIII XIII Her

Mercer, Pa.-Arguments were be
gun by counsel Saturday in the case
OF Mrs. James Boyle. charged with
aiding and 'abetting her husband who
was convicted Thursday of kidnapping
Willie Whitla. 1t is believed q verdict
will be returned before night and the
general opinion Is that the woman
will be convicted. She says she will
commit suicide before she will go to
prison.

have no jurisdiction In her case, coun

evidence in her behalf. 81 lsss - :,
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

In her cell in jail Friday night Mrs,
Boyle said: ...s

to tell the whole story in connection

permitted to do so. 1t is not justice.
Everything should be heard and
threshed out AS for myself will

penitentiary."
Great interest is being manifested
in the community as to whether
Boyle or his wife will get chance
to tell what apparently is on their
minds before the end of the trial. AS
the testimony has been closed on
both sides, the only chance Boyle
would have would be when called
upon for any reason he might have
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced II Mrs. Boyle Is convicted
she would have the same chance.

CARDS the antiquity OF this book and the
rank assigned to II in the early church. II
may suffice to mention that Josephus
quotes largely from II, and follows its au-
thority. It is quoted also by Clemens

Athanasius and other fathers. Nothing
can be clearer on the other hand than
that II is rightly included among the
Apocrypha. That II was never known
to exist in Hebrew and formed no part

A two-fold design 10 discernible In the
compiler OF the book. One was to intro
tuce and give Scriptural sanction to the
legend about Zerubbabel: the other to
explain the great obscnrities OF the Book
OF Ezra. in which the author has signally
failed. AS regards the time and place
when the compilation was made, the orig
inal portion is that which alone affords
much cIew. This seems to indicate that
the writer was thoroughly conversant
with Hebrew, even II he did not write
the book In that language. He was well
acquainted too. with the Books OF Esther
and Daniel. and other books Of Scripture.

Boycott All Other Roads.

Guthrie, Ok, Dec 1.-Changing that
They would have a government for
their own protection without a willing
ness to contribute their fair share to

has addressed g letter to the state
board of public affairs advising boy
colt on all the railroads of the state
which were given a temporary order re-
straining the state auditor from col
lecting the gross revenue tax as pro-
vided by the first legislature.
In his letter Governor Haskell sug-
gests that all the shipping of the state
incident to its regular business and the
building of public institutions, should
as far as practicable be thrown to the
tax paying roads. and adds that there
are two lines-the Rock Island and the
year and are therefore entitled to this
recognition.
The governors letter concludes:
Il believe it is perfectly proper for
the state and for every citizen of the
state to recognize this mutual obliga-
ton and wherever possible patronize
the railroads that pay their fair share
of taxes necessary to support our gov

Royal ]. Allen. a member of the af-
fairs board, stated that the governor
suggestion would be followed.

the governor are the Santa Fe, the

satisfactory to officials. They have
