Have Any Effect.
RAZOR FOUND TODAY
ON PERSON or BOYLE
Their Desire to Have Farewell
Meeting Was Prob babIy With
The Intention of a Double
Suicide.

Mercer, Pa, May 1O.-A carefully
planned scheme on the part of Mr.. and
Mrs. Boyle to cheat justice, was frus-
trated at the Mercer county Jail early
this morning. Mrs. Boyle admits she
took enough morphine to kill two per-
sons, but it did not have the desired
result. She occupied a cell adjoining
that Of Mrs. Ella Parry, who this
morning pleaded guilty to a charge OF
killing her husband. Mrs. Parry is a
victim of the morphine habit and the
drug has been prescribed for her while
she has been in Jail. Mrs. Boyle
learned Mrs. Parry was receiving NOR
phine and she begged some tablets
from the woman. Mrs. Boyle said:
She Gave Up Hope.
Il was convinced that there was nc
hope for us today and after walking
up and down my cell from ten O'Clock
until midnight l decided the time had
come for me to shuttle on. 1 never
used morphine in my life, but l put
all the tablets in a glass. poured in
some water and drank it. There was
sufficient poison to kill two persons
but, my God, it did not kill me. When
lay down on my bed at midnight
prayed that it would be my last slecI
and when the sheriff came this morn
ing he would find me a corpse"
Hatpins Were Found.
Mrs. Boyle was only partly uncon
scious during the night and very sici
this morning. The morphine, it ii
claimed. was partly responsible for hel

had been imposed. At noon toda,
Sheriff Chess took three hatpins from
Mrs Boyle, also all the glasses tha
were in her cell. At ten o'clock thi,
morning he made a thorough search .

New York, May 1O.-The denuncia-
tion of Andrew Carnegie by Alexander
Irvine. socialist lay preacher. at the
Church of the Ascension after his re-
cent praise of John D. Rockefeller to-
day is the topic of earnest discussion
in academic as we'll as socialistic cir
cles.
In his sermon reviewing Mr.. Car
negie's book. Problems of Today"
Mr.. Irvine declared Carnegie to be
the modern Moloch, a destroyer of
thousands Of lives. and the cause of
the maintaining Of thousands of work
men. Pittsburg has denominated as
the greatest city of social cripples and
social shame in the world: a great
city of blazing ingots, an adjunct OF
Wall street, a place where they can
not home at all.
A Grave Charge:
Mr.. Irvine concluded with: "Mr
Carnegie in his attack on socialism
weeps over the American home. Yet
Dr. Devine says the destruction ol
families by loss of life and typhoid
fever in Pittsburg is overwhelming
though both causes are preventable
From typhoid and accidents yearly ir
Pittsburg there are 1000 deaths, man,

1000 homes destroyed yearly in Pitts
burg by Mr.. Carnegie.
THE Pittsburg Survey tells US tna
laborers in Mr.. Carnegie's steel works
of the same grade as their fellow
workers in the Pennsylvania Goa
mines get 40 per cent less in wages
The reason is obvious.
Only Short Hours.
There are 1900 men in the Car
negie plants, yet only 120 work eigh
hours a day. The rest work twelv,
hours day and seven DAYS a week.
In 1907, there were 1000 hospita
injuries; 500 were crippled for life
Fifty of these lost leg each and for
ty-five an arm. Eighty percent of tn,
injured were earning less than SO
week. Five hundred were killed II
the same year. Eighty-eight of tn
families left fatherless as the result o
accidents in the Carnegie plants n

Nothing has been heard by the local
authorities in regard to Mrs. Nellie
Leroy. the diamond thief arrested at
the home of her mother. Mrs. Gray,
at Economy about three weeks ago.
Mrs. Leroy was taken to Cincinnati
where she is charged with grand lar
ceny. Since her arrest 1t has become
known she was one of the most hunt
ed criminals on the rolls of the Gin
cinnati police. After her arrest she
confessed to the theft of diamonds val
ued at $4,000. from the woman she
formerly worked for at the Queen
City.
The woman was arrested at Econ
omy by a subterfuge. She was rail-
roaded to Cincinnati after she had at
first refused to go. She could have
kept off the law long enough to have
effected her escape If she had under
stood it's idiosyncracies. Following
the theft of the diamonds several
months ago., Mrs. lie Roy fled to Vir-
ginia. She was trailed there and then
sought refuge at Washington. D. G.
She had thrown off her pursuers and
seemed safe but learning of the ILL
ness of her mother at Economy, she
went there to nurse her. It was while
on this mission of mercy she was
placed under arrest.

A secret service officer, who had
been working on the case secured a

shadowed there for few days and

himself without power. He secured 9
