VETERAN BOYCE ON
WAY HERE, ESCAPES
WRECK UNFRAMED
Belated Word Relieves Fear
for Washington G. A. R.
Delegate.

After msny hours OF sleepless uncer-
tainty. Mrs. E. A. Boyce, Of S31 Twenty
second street northwest, received a
Telegram early this morning stating her
husband, James Boyce, G. A. R.
veteran, has been located and that he
VIII be home tonight. When Mrs. Boyce
retired last night she believed he was
lying among the unidentified dead in
a Rochester morgue. victim of the
Manchester train wreck.
1T was like receiving a message from
the grave" said Mrs. Boyce this MORN
ing. Mr.. Boyce is very much alive,
and he will be here in q few hours. Yes
terday, though l tried hard to believe
otherwise, had given up hope, and
every hour seemed to make 1t more
certain he had been killed.
When they told me Major Sylvester
had received a message from the police
In Rochester saying there was no James
Boyce among the wreck victims, i felt
better, but still thought he was there
in the morgue. but had not been identi-
fed. You see the description Of the man
who wore cuff buttons marked b was
SO like Mr.. Boyce, that both myself
and his friends feared it must be he"
One Of the many kilograms sent to
Rochester by Mrs. Boyce, her son, JOS
eph X. BoyCe, and the police, found its
way last night to somebody who knew
the veteran. He Immediately wired, say
ing Mr.. Boyce was on his way home,
and that letter written just after the
convention train was wrecked evidently
had gone astray. Boyce was on the
convention train, but was in one of the
coaches that did not leave the trestle,
and escaped with a shaking up.
The son started for Rochester from
Atlantic City last night, but when he
discovered his father was alive and on
his way to Washington, he came on to
his home.
Mrs. Boyce spent all day yesterday
at home alone. wracked by anxiety, and
she was on the verge of nervous col
lapse when the messages came that re-
lteved her fears.
