BODY THAT OF
JOHN H, BOYLEN
GLOUCESTER, NJ.
Died From Exposure in
Woods at Warwick
Fairfax Co.
MISSING SINCE MAY -
Hod Been in Private Sanitarium-
Was Former Mayor and Chief of
Police of Gloucester, \. j.

The skeleton found at Warwick,
Fairfax county, about three miles
south of Alexandria, is that of John
Hugh Boylen, about sixty years old,
of 326 Mercer street, Gloucester, y.
j., former mayor and chief OF po-
lice of Gloucester The Identified
ton was established by means of the
metal tag found on the body which
was issued by the Sun Shipbuilding
Company, Chester, Pa, where Boylen
was formerly employed as a guard.
Boylen recently suffered a nervous
breakdown and according to infor-
nation received here May - he
eluded the attendants at the institu>
ton and came to Alexandria.
Chief of Police Goods today again
visited the scene accompanied by
several newspaper men and took a
view of the situation. 1t Is the
opinion of the chief that the man un>
doubtedly died from exposure and
was not victim of foul play as first
reported. The blood on his coat
and other clothing he wore probably
was caused when dogs knawed his
body.
Chief Goods this morning inter
viewed w. T. O'Neal, local manager
for the Western Union Telegraph
Company, and after having the des-
cription of the dead man furnished,
ne recalled that on the morning OF
Nav II a man answering the des-
cription of Boylen entered his office
and set a message to man in Glou-
cester, n j., asking that fifteen dol
lars be sent him. No answer was
received that day or the next and on
Nav 10 the records disclosed that
telegram was received on May lS.
However. Boylen failcC- TO show up
for the telegram and the same af-
ternoon his wife accompanied by an
other woman arrived here and insti,
tuted a search for the missing man
His wife remained over till the fol
lowing day, she thinking that posi-
blv her husband might be employed
at the ship plant here. All efforts to
trace his whereabouts failed and his
wife in the meantime had left money
with Mr.. O'Ne2l sufticinet to warrant
his return home. Boylen, however,
failed to show up again and he was
lost track of.
It is the belief of the authorities
that he wandered down to Warwick
and died in the woods, death probably
being due to exposure.
His wife has been notified and j;
is regarded as more than probable
that the remains will be shipped TO-
morrow to Gloucester, y. J, for hu-
rial.
hold an inquest and viii issue a GER
tificate in accordance with the facts
presented him in the case.
It was first thought by the Fairfax
authorities that the man had been Z
victim of foul play because OF the
fact that bloodstains were found on
his clothing.

ing murder mystery for the authori-
ties of Fairfax county to solve.

policy to be expected as a result OF
the overthrow of Llovd George.
London. Oct. lQ.-The succession
of Andrew Bonar Law to the prem
iership means that the British En-
pire will be led back firmly by mas
terband to course of traditional con-
servatism in international affairs,
which means abstenance from ven
ture abroad, determination not to
mingle in the affairs Of other nations
and fled policy of maintaining the
historic traditions of the British En-
nire Il is an old truth that wars
and international complications have
bapn studiously avoided by the con-
servatives. Whenever thev have been
ont of power the nation has become
entangled abroad, and in the end 1t
has been the conservative element
ON whom has fallen the task OF eX-
trivation.
The adventures of the Lloyd
George government brought things
TO a Climax and forced the conserva-
tive majority in the coalition to as
sert its principals.
The crash was inevitable.
Bonar Law represents in the full
est sense the true unalloyed policy Of
Britain's ancient conservatism He
is a careful. conscientious thinking
man who never acts on impulse. II
ANYTHING. he errs on the side of eau
tion. He is imbued with the spirit
Of the old scotch covenanter. He
has no sympathy with international
SPECULATION. His premiership will be
remarkable more for steady, uswerv>
inc determination, first, to get the
house in order before attempting to
put on decorations.
So far as his attitude toward the
United States is concerned, / can
safely prophesy that his understand
ng of and sympathy for the Amer
ican democracy is deep and well
founded. He, perhaps, more than
any other statesman. understands the
American people. their hopes and
their aspirations, and I regard it as
a magnificent augury for an even
closer understanding between the two
great democracies that Bonar Law
Should be the first minister of the
British Democracy.
