MRS. FRED WEBBER
Had Given Up All Nope.
Mrs.Tred Wehlx-r, 19 Wellington St.,
Hrantford, Ont., Second Vice-President
Woman's Industrial Leapue, writes :
"Last fall I caught a severo cold which
caused inflammation ot the internal
organs. I suffered excruciating pains
and kept getting worse and worse until
I gave up all hope.
I mado up my mind to try Poruna for
two months and see what it would do for
"'"'within one month I felt much bet
ter, and at the close of the second I was
like a now woman. I kept improving
aud Oually was fully restored."
Mis Boyle Known.
Wiliia Whi la's Ahduclorno Longer a Mys
tery.
Mrs. Boyle, the alleged wife of
James II. lloyle, abductor of Willie
Whitla. is a mystery no longer.
Absolute information has been
found that the woman is Helen Mc
Dertnott, of Chicago. Previous
stories to the effect that she was a
member of ;i prominent and weil
thy family are without foundation ,
whatever.
Attorney T. C. Cochrane, of
Mercer, representing the prcseeu- '
turn admitte! without qualification
that Mrs. Boyle was Helen McD.r
inott. Her family reside in Chica
go and have been prominently
mentioned in connection with the
case since the woman's arrest at
Cleveland.
It is said that it has been the in
tention of the prosecution to make
public Mrs. , Boyle's real identity
before the beginning of the trial.
By doing this thereby taking away
the fascinating mystery which Ins
surrounded her, the prosecution
hoped to score heavily. It is real
ized that the prosecution has been
successful. Mrs. Boyle is not a
member of a wealthy and promi
nent family as the public has been
informed. Attorney Stranahan
said that Mrs. Boyle's brother hai
visited her once. This was some
time ago, at which time he had a
lengthy talk with his sister and re
turned to Chicago to prepare means
for her defense. Since that time
funds have come from Chicago reg
ularly to Mrs. Boyle. During tlie
latter part of the week a deposit of
$1,000 was made in Mrs. Boyle's fa
vor at. Mercer and through state
ments made by attorneys the pub
lic was led to believe she was a
member of a prominent family.
Bought Grange Store Building.
Dr. C. F. Altmiller ou Saturday
purchased at Sheriff's sale the four
story brick building, corner of
Market and Sixth streets, formerly
owned by H. G. Supplee. The
purchise price, was $7450.
Dr. Altmiller stated that he had
no definite plans for the building's
future.
