last evening by Detective Sergeants
Green and King and Detectives Riley

der of Frank O'Boyle, whose body was
found last Sunday afternoon in the
woods near Elsmere. Boggs was ar
raigned in Municipal Court this morn
ing. and held without bail for a hear
ing on Tuesday morning. This CON
tinuance was granted at the request
OF Boggs, who desired to secure
council.
According TO tho detectives. Boggs
made a complete confession, in which
he stated that he shot the man in his
own defense Boggs claimed that he
never intended TO kill O'Boyle. but
shot low to prevent the man iniuring
him with a big knife. which he claims
the man had, but which has not been
found
On May % OF this year Boggs was
released from the workhouse. where
he had served a two year term for
breaking and entering. His home is
at No. sos Lafayette street. where he
was arrested by the detectives as he

in the Lafayette street house. He
has been in this city ever since the
fatal shooting and has been going
about the streets apparently without
fear OF detection.
Sergeant X ng, who Is assigned TO
the detective squad, received informa-
ton yesterday afternoon, at ] o'clock,
about a Negro man who had .3S
calibre revolver in his possession last
Sunday. O'Boyle was killed by a bsi-
let from a SO calibre revolver.
The detectives also located severa
witnesses who saw a crap game II
progress under the Baltimore anC
Ohio Railroad bridge az Lancaster ave

walk toward the spot where the BODY
OF OBoyle afterward was found. Pre-
vlous to leaving. these witnesses sa,
that Boggs produced his heavy re
volver and fred at the feet o. a MAJ
who was dancing.
Acting on this information. the de
