; INITIAL STEPS BEGUN
TO FREE MRS BOYLE
Prominent Attorney of Pittsburg In
terests Himself in Case of
Kidnaper's Wife.
PITTSBURG, May 15—The initial
step* looking toward the freeing of
Mm. Boyle, convicted of aiding in
kidnaping of Billy Whltla, and to li
tem ed to serve 25 years in prison for
her crime, were taken in Pittsburg
jesterduy afternoon. A prominent
local attorney, believing that Mrs.
! Boyle did not secure Justice in the
Mercer county court, has interested
himself in her case.
The first move in reopening the
|case will be to secure a transcript of
■the testimony given at the trial in
Mercer county last week. When tills
is done It will depend largely upon
the exceptions taken by Mrs. Boyles
attorney during her trial whether the
case will be appealed to the higher
court. If the exceptions are not ade
quate for this purpose, then the only
course remaining will lie the federal
court here, of which a writ of habeas
corpus will lie demanded.
Railroads Refute Charge.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—The at
torneys .for the coal companies in the
suit of the government to dissolve the
sd-cailed coal merger called witnesses
at yesterday's hearing to refute the
contention of the government that the
coal carrying roads charged excessive
rates on coal to force the Independent
operators to make terms with the
roads in the combine. Testimony
was intended to show that the high
rateß were Justified.
