K,DNaPpER CONVICTED.
Jury Found James Boyle Guilty in
Short Time-NIrs. Boyle on Trial.

Mercer, Pa, May 6.-James Boyle,
charged with kidnapping Billy
Whitla, was convicted to-daY after a
trial lasting but few hours. No
detense was made, and the jury was
out but fel' minutes. Mrs. Boyle,
indicted under the name of Mary
Doe, with half q dozen aliases, was
Immediately placed upon trial charg-
ed with aiding and abettipg the kid
mapping Hardly had the jury been
sworn in the woman's case when
the lawyers became engaged in a
legal argument regarding the admis-
sion OF certain testimony, and the
case was adjourned until tomorrow
morning.
The first witness called by the
State in Mrs. Boyle's case was Miss
Ella Boyle, a sister of James Boyle.
Apparently, from the line of quesa
tloning, the prosecution wanted to
prove by her hat the kidnapping
conspiracy was formed while Mrs.
Boyle was visiting in Sharon with
her husband, and that she was i'm
plcated In 1t. 1t is surmised the OBJ
1ect this Is to overcome her con-
tention that she could not have vio-
lated law in this State while she
was living in Ohio.
Mrs. Boyle took a prominent part
in the selection Of her jury to-day
prompting her attorneys in nunier-
Gus cases and evidencing prefer
ence for young, unmarried Jurors.
That Boyle's trial came to such an
abrupt ending Immediately after the
State had rested, was due to the fact
that so strong case had been made
against him. From the night before
the abduction, when he was seen in
Sharon. till the time OF his arrest in
Cleveland, almost every movement
he made was testified to by one or
more witnesses, whose stories fitted
IN perfectly with that of Billy"
Whitla, and left no doubt as to the
part Boyle had taken in the case.
Little BILLY" positively identified
Boyle as his abductor.
The penalty is from one year to a
life sentence in the penitentiary.
Sentence has not been pronounced
yet.

DR.. Johnson, of Winthrop, has re-
ceived a letter from Andrew Carne-
gie's secretary stating that MIR. Car

President Johnson should raise
$4,000 more. Mr.. Johnson has
raised $65, 900 more instead. 1t is
his intention to get one hundred
thousand for this school, which he
proposes to make a model school,
second to none anywhere. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Carnegie gave
100000 for the library several years
ago, and this last gift brings his do
nation to Winthrop up to the gener-
Gus sum of $4,000.

G0RMAN NEARLY A

WITH ATCH|S0N
Interesting Sketch of Freight
Traffic Manager Who Be-
comes Vice President of the
Rock Island,

That the Rock Island railway has
a particular preference for Santa Fe
men exemplified in the q 81 of Nudge
n others, Is again shown by the
gobbling by HAT road Of James f..
German after nearly q quarter of a
century OF service with the Santa Fc.
The December Employees Magazine
has the following about Mr.. German:
James Edward German, for nearly
five years freight traffic manager and
for twenty-three years almost contin-
uously in the service of the Santa Fe,
has accepted the position rendered
him as vice president in charge of
traffic for the Rock Island system.
one Of the first official acts or Mr..
Nudge in his capacity of president
Of the Rock Island was TO announce,
ON December @. the appointment of
MI. German rs his freight traffic man
ager. But what could be more nat
ural for Mr.. Nudge, himself schooled
la santa Fc service and therefore
well acquainted with the splendid
training obtained In such service. than
to secure Mr.. German to iii one OF
the most important positions under
him?
Mr.. German has long been n of
the most popular officials on the SAN
ia Fc, and, though they DO not like to
see him leave the service. the hearth
est congratulations of a host of
friends are extended him, coupled
with the desire that he may be as
popular and successful in his new
field as he has been at the old stamp
ing ground. or unquestioned ability,
Mr.. German has risoa from the ranks
to his present responsible position. and
as an incentive to others in the rail-
road world. we print his biography.
