BOYLE PLACED ON TRIAL She Is Indicted Under the Name of Mary Doe, with Half a Dozen Aliases, Charged with Aid ing and Abetting. Mercer, Pa. —James Boyle, charged "with kidnaping "Billy" Whitla, was convicted yesterday after a trial lasting but a few hours. No de fense was made and the jury was out but a few minutes. Mrs. Boyle, in dicted under the name of Mary Doe, with half a dozen aliases, was imme diately placed upon trial, charged with aiding and abetting the kidnaping. Strong Case Against Boyle. That Boyle's trial came to such an abrupt ending immediately after the state had rested was due to the fact that so strong a ease had been made against him. From the night before the abduction, when he was seen in Sharon, till the time of his arrest in Cleveland, almost every movement he made was testified to by one or more witnesses. A man who hired him a horse and buggy, another who saw Boyle driving with "Billy" in the bug gy, the barber who saw the two to gether and shaved Hoyle's mustache off. train and electric railway conduc tors who saw the couple on the way to Cleveland and identified them in court, all told stories which fitted in perfectly with that of "Billy" Whitla and left no doubt as to the part Boyle had taken in the case. Relying entirely upon their conten tion that the Pennsylvania courts have no jurisdiction in her case, counsel for Mrs. James Boyle refused to offer any evidence in her behalf at the second day's trial.

Cleveland, O. —Swinging among the branches of a tree within a stone's throw of the scene of an accident that had broken his life 18 months ago, the dead body of John Thoina, an aged farmer, was found near Corlett stattion yesterday. With the suicide has come to light the pathetic story of a broken-hearted old man, struggling in vain under a weight of grief and misfortune, until physical endurance could withstand the pain no longer. Thoma had lived for years in the neighborhood of Corlett station, grow ing old, happy and contented with the wife who had been at his side through years of labor in his adopted country. Eighteen months ago the sudden accidental death of his wife prostrated the old man. For months he did not rally, wan dering aimlessly about his little farm, trying vainly to pick up the broken thread of his former peaceful life. Business became a thing beyond his grasp, and gradually misfortune after misfortune robbed him of *the savings of a lifetime. Thus broken, hopeless and weary, his mind seemed at times to wander and neighbors noted and spoke pity ingly of the wreck of their once pros perous friend. Unable to bear his burden longer, the old man wandered on Wednesday to the scene of his wife's sudden death and there ended the great trouble.

OVER 10,000 PEOPLE KILLED IN TARSUS ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY FA NATICAL MOHAMMEDANS ARE SICKENING. MANY VILLAGES WIPED OUT An Insensate Orgy of Lust and Vio lence in the Name of Race and Religion Which Lasted Ten Days. Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey.—Authentic details of the atrocities committed by the fanatical Mohammedans in the villages and farms in this district are now coming into Tarsus with sicken ing abundance. The worst particulars of these narratives cannot be men tioned, but they set forth without doubt that at least 10,000 persons lost their lives in this province, and some estimates place the total casualty list at 25,000. Villages like Osmanieh, Bazsche, llamadieh, Kara, Kristian, Keoy and Kezolook were actually wiped out. Slaughter Unsparing. Each of these places had populations of from 500 to 600 people. In one town of 4,000 people there are less than 100 left, nearly all women and children. It was the same thing with the hundreds of chiftliks, or farms, that dot this wide and fertile plain. The slaughter was unsparing; even Greeks and Syrians were struck down with the Armenians. Entire families were burned to death in their homes. Hundreds of girls and women were maltreated and carried off to the ha rems, where the womeh were sepa rated from the men. Terrible Deeds of Turks. The correspondent was informed that at one place a party of 100 Ar menians surrendered to the soldiers. The prisoners were taken to an open field, where the women were ordered to stand apart from the men. Every one of the men was then shot. In many cases they were done to death with their women clinging to them, trying to save their lives. A large number of women were wounded be cause of their persistence. Sixty men who were brought down into this district from Hadjin are now held as slaves. Young Turks around Tarsus are today trading Armenian girls among each other for horses and modern repeating rifles. The entire 10 days seem to have been an insen sate orgy of lust and violence in the name of race and religion. Adana Still Lawless. Adana, Asiatic Turkey.—Adana is still lawless. More people have been killed in the city. There are 30,000 dead in Adana province as a result of the massacres, and 35,000 homeless and penniless refugees are wandering in the vilayet. The deaths in Adana city alone are estimated at 6,500. Adana is terrorized by 4,000 soldiers, who are looting, shooting and burning. No respect is paid to foreign properties. Both the French schools have beeu destroyed, and it is feared that the American school, commercial and mis sionary interests in Adana are totally ruined.

AN ASTOUNDING STCRY BOAT SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN LOST SEIZED BY VENEZUELANS Escaped Prisoner Says Captain and Crew of American Whaler Are Incarcerated. Kingstown. St. Vincent. B. W. I.— It may be that Capt. Rollin Steph enson and the crew of the Amer ican whaling ship Carrie I). Knowles, long since thought to have been lost at sea, are still alive in a Venezuelan prison. An American seaman who gives the name of Payne, an escaped prisoner from Venezuela, has made his way to Kingstown, where he laid before the authorities an astounding story of the seizure of the Carrie D. Knowles at a Venezuela port, where she arrived five years ago in distress, and the incarceration by the Venezue lans of the captain and his men. So convinced are the authorities here that there is truth in Payne's story that they have taken down his full statement and have already taken steps looking to a speedy and thor ough investigation of the case. Escaped Prisoner's Story. On January 27, 1904, the Carrie D. Knowles sailed from Provincetown, Mass., on a whaling voyage. Her cap tain was Collin Stephenson and her first mate H. A. Martin. In addition she carried a crew of about a dozen men. These are the names as given by Payne to the authorities here, and as far as he could remember the names of the members of the crew were: Wallace, Warner, Robertson, Hazell, Sam, Davis, Pierre, Grant, Lewis and John. Payne asserts positively that all of these men are at the present time confined in a Venezuelan prison. Vessel Supposed to Have Been Lost. The vessel was supposed to have been lost in a West Indian storm with all hands. Some of the men belonged in St. Vincent and after all hope was given up of their return their relatives put on mourning and the local insur ance company eventually paid the claims against it, on the assumption that the sailors were dead. Payne declared the whaler had been disabled in a storm off the Vene zuelan coast and had made port in distress. This was five years ago, but the ex act date he could not remember. She was at once seized and the captain and crew were made prisoners and thrown into jail. He states that all the men are alive, but are still closely confined. Americans Become Interested. Provincetown, Mass. —The despatch from Kingstown outlining the story told by the escaped Venezuelan prisoner, to the effect that the crew of the lost Provincetown whaler Carrie D. Knowles were incarcerated in a prison in Venezuela, was natur ally of intense interest here. As the entire crew of the Knowles were na tives of the West Indies, there are few means here of verifying Payne's state ments. The identity of Payne is not clear, but it may be that he is no other than Elisha Payne, a seaman of Provincetown, who mysteriously dis appeared from this port previous to or about the time of the sailing of the Knowles. BOATS STONED BY STRIKERS Men Who Tried to Take Off Crew of Steamer Were Met With Volley of Shots. Buffalo, N. Y. —Strikers who rushed on board the steamer Charles W. Kotcher at the Export Elevator dock here last night to take off the crew were met with a volley of shots by the special watchmen on board. The strikers stuck to the boat until the police reserves arrived. Then they scattered and ran. No one was hit by the revolver shots. A number of members of the crew of the Badger State were badly beaten on the dock at Tonawanda just before the steamer sailed last night. Union seamen and cooks left the steamers J. S. Morrow and Frederick 11. Wells here yesterday. The steamers America and Williams Castle Rhodes sailed with non-union crews. A crowd of strikers showered the America with stones as she passed out of the harbor. These package freighters left with union crews: Averill, Rome, Ogdens burg and Wilkesbarre.
