ty shcriffs Yesterday. waiting FOR re-
plv IN a telephone message that he sent
his mother in Boston 10 help him get
So 600 bail. Boyd did not lose his smile
for minute
Rovd's arrest came about through
his failure To- settle with Allen g
Woodsidc. also 81 Boston. for n bill
of So. .156 for automobile hire. Woodside
learned that Boyd had gone to New
York and communicated with lrNlns
Kremer. an attorney. who at once drew
UP papers in suit.
Woodsidc complained that BOYD
agreed with him 10 pay 81 an hour Tor
tho use Of an automobile. That was IN
April 1912. From that time to Nu-
gust. 1913. Boyd used an automo"ile
from time to time. until the bill
amounted to S223s. When the hilI
reached that amount Woodside sus-
gested a settlement.
BOYD asked for time, and assured the
owner Of the car that ne was fully re
sponsiblc for the money. as he Was A
large stockholdcr and treasurer IN nc
John Hancock Life Insurance Com
pany and was one Of the largest stock
holders and a director Of the Burk-
hardt Brewing Company. OF Boston.

neither a director nor q stockhoider Of
the Burkhardt Brewing COMPANY, nor
is he treasurer or stockholder Of the
John Hancock Life Insurance Com
pany. These charges were made after
BOYD had run up a bill OF 1851 under
the new agreement.
The investigation purported TO show
further that Boyd owned a yacht. but
that he owed her commander, Captain
Cavcrlv. 500 for services. that he
owes the Boston Yacht club 500. the
