Her Sister is Sald to Have Given a New Version of the Case. WorcrsrTer, Mass,, June 8.—It is now as- serted that there is evidence to show that the published accounts of how Lillie Hoyle met her death are not strictly correct. The new evidence is sald to place the responsi bility for the drugging of Lillie upon her sister Alice, who is sald to have adminis tered the chloroform. The new story is also to the effect that Alice Hoyle did not got into the wagon with the men at the time Lillie was taken {rem the house, but left the house in advance snd was told to walk ahead down the road. She did so, and it will be remembered that Dr. Brown testl- fled to seeing a woman going by his house, 1t is also said that the girl was met down the road, near the bushes so frequently spoken of, and taken into the wagon. Lil lie had died, and when the fact was dis. closed to Alico she screamed. The two men quieted her and, it is said, prevailed gpon her to keep the secret by telling her that it was from the effects of the chloro- form administered by her that Lillie died, In this manner she was persuaded to keep silent, believing she was the cause of her sister's death and alone criminally respon. ble. If it is true that Alice person that went by Dr. Brown's in the dark as he sat smoking on the piazza, it was not known at the time the grand jury met, or the dootor would have been sum- moned as a witoess as well as the German woman who heard the screams. While this latest storbmay be true so far as itis a statement made by Alice, it is ocertaln that it was not known to the officers be- fore, and it confirms the story frequeutly heard, that Alice Hoyle 1s not reliable and has made several conflicting confessions.
