BOYLE GETS LIFE SENTENCE;
WIFE Is YEARS
CONTINUED from raxe o.eJ


lutte silence. While the prisoners
were being led back to their cells
there was no demonstration OF any
kind.
The only comment OF ]. p. Whitla.
Billy's father, was: I'm glad it's
over"
In his charge Judge Williams said
that the kidnapping had aged the father
20 years, and Whitla looked it.
Attorney Miller, for Mrs. Boyle, said
that since with good behavior she
would be in the psnitentiary only 10
years and three months. he thought 1t
would be no use making an appeal
that might send her back to Ohio for
trial.
Sheriff Chess. said he would take the
prisoners to the penitentiary at Ale
gheny as soon as possible. He fears
Boyle may make another attempt to
escape and wants TO get him of his
hands.
On the street the general sentiment
was one OF satisfaction that the pair
got the limit sentence.
Later In the day Mrs. Boyle recov-
cred herself in her cell and talked
volubly. She told story which she
said she wanted to tell in court this
morning. She declared that she had
no idea that the boy she harbored at
the Cleveland apartment hottse-wa
kidnapped. She never saw the papers.
"At first thought 1t might be news
boy Jimmy had picked up on the
street." she said. Later Jimmy told
me it was a boy he had taken from
school and was keeping because the
school was quarantined for smallpox;
and | believed him. All the time
was in the fiat expected Billy's father
to come for him."
Yesterday was big day for Mrs.
Boyle. II was her twenty-third birth
day and she was allowed many priv
ileges. Jimmy sent her a message
and some money with which she sent
out and bought box OF chocolates.
AS she munched these she conversed
with her many callers about her inno-
cence and about suicide.
Sheriff Chess today told for the
first time all about Jimmy Boyle's
desperate attempts TO break jail.
Boyle, he said. had wrenched three
foot iron bar from his cell bunk and
hidden 1t. Then he pretended to be-
come suddenly sick The plot as re-
vealed to the sheriff by foreigner
who was imprisoned In the same
range OF cells, was TO lure Chess to
the cell and strike him down and
seize his keys. The sheriff also de-
scribed two other attempts OF Boyle,
one to make his getaway with the
help OF raid from the outside and
revolver struggled to him by which
he was to shoot his way out when
the attack began; the other by saw
ing the bars. Boyle had plenty or
help from outside.
The authorities place little reliance
In his wild accusations. They say
that they have investigated all his
charges aud have failed TO implicate
anyone else In the crime.

Wise Investments


The whole science Of profitable
reality investments, anywhere on
on earth, lies in knowing how to
look ahead, not to accept the con-
dition Of today, but to forsee the
conditions of six months a year
---of five years hence. It is not
difficult to do. All business moves
along settled, we'll defined lines.
The successful men who have
grown rich in real estate invest
ments, are those who had the abil-
ity and willingness to look ahead,
to see what was coming before
other men saw it, by discounting

LONG BEACH, oct. 16.-W. Scott
Cummings, who disappeared a week
ago last night, leaving his wife and
4-months-old baby at their Pacific
avenue home, has been found. His
wife last night received a letter writ
ten by him at San Francisco stating
he was there and i'll. Mrs. Cummings
today refused to give any further de-
tails about the letter or to state what
Cummings reasons were, if she knew,
for his sudden departure.
There are things which are hard TO
understand just when they take place, -
said a COnfidant Of Mrs Cummings,
but we feel sure everything is com
ing out right, both for her and for
him."
This woman said, further, that Cum
mings would probably not return to
Long Beach, and intimated that his
wife might go to san Francisco. So
far as could be learned today Cum
mings had been in no trouble with
former. employers and had not quar-
relied with his wife. 1t is supposed
he became Respondent over financial
troubles and struck out for the north,
believing he could secure better en-
ployment there and make more money.
Mrs Cummings said this afternoon
she expected to communicate with her
husband soon. She had feared he had
committed suicide or had wandered
away, mentally deranged. Cards bear
ing his picture and description had
been sent broadcast.

DELEGATES WILL BE NAMED
AT TODAY'S MEETING
Harbor City Wholesale Company Is
Preparing to Place Evidence
Before the Interstate

rspecial to The Herald.l ]

SAN PEDRO, Oct. ia meeting of
the Harbor City Wholesale company
has been called for tomorrow morning,
at which time it will be decided just
who will go to San Francisco to be
present at the hearing of the suit for
terminal rates before the interstate
commerce commission.
Attorney Miner P. Goodrich will go,
and it is probable that one of the pilots
here and possibly others familiar with
the conditions also Will SO.
From the associated jCbbers Of Los
Angeles, who are backing The suit in
stituted by the local company viii 50
Attorneys Kuster and Loeb. Traffic EN-
pert Gregson and Robert Dollar Of
the Dollar steamship company. At
san Francisco also Will be found many
seafaring men who are familiar WIKI
the conditions at this port VINO Viii
offer their testimony in rhs cc--a2-
tion that san Pedro is entitled - EsE-
minal rates.
The contention Of the railroad e =
said. will be that there IS nor 8 sGc-
ficient volume of competitive r-s-<1-
passing through Los Angeles h2-e2-
to warrant a terminal rate. The ar
torneys for the company and r1cSe
for the jobbers contend that the har-
Dor is entitled TO all the privileges Of
a terminal point.
As the obtaining Of terminal rates
is of vital interest 10 this portion Of

SUIT OF CLOTHES CAUSES
MERRIMENT IN SAN PEDRO
J. E. Wright Amuses Spectators Wher
He Tells About Rament Bought
on InstaIlment Plan

SAN PEDRO. Oct. 1.-THE lawsuit
for the balance due on new suit of
clothes purchased through suit club
conducted by I. MeyersOn under the
name Of the New York Suit club, oc-
cupied several hours in Justice Stieg-
litz' court this morning and caused no
end of amusement to the crowd of
spectators. Some months ago J. E
Wright of East San Pedro signed a
contract to buy a tailor-made suit fol-
S37 at 81 per week. the suit to cost the
full amount unless he was lucky
enough to draw a winning number be-
fore the expiration of the thirty-seVen
weeks. Wright ordered his suit early
in the contest, but when delivered to
him claimed it did not fit. He offered
to pay the balance of $40 as soon as
the suit was properly made.
Attorney Earl Niemeir appeared for
the tailor, while Senator Savage rep
resented the defendant. In the course
of the trial Wright tried on the suit,
which he said was all wrong, being
entirely too large and not we'll made.
1t was finally agreed after numerous
expert witnesses We're called to the
stand, that there was fault on both
sides of the contest and Wright agreed
to pay the $50 plus One-half the costs
if the suit was made to fit right. JUS
tice Stieglitz decided he was not a
sufficient Judge of the fitness OF
clothes, but would leave it to a dis
interested party to decide when the
suit was made to fit the corpulent
form of the defendant.
It looked as if the matter would be
settled amicably, but Meyerson decid-
ed he would not take the word of the
defendant as to the payment and de-
manded that the money or a bond be
forthcoming before he started in tc
alter his work. Wright refused to put
up the money and Justice Stieglit1
took the case under advisement for q
few days.

endeavor to reach the boy, who was
later found where his bed had stood,
burned to a crisp. He had evidently
never awakened. The origin of the fire
is not known.
