Anient Ever Heard In Mercer Ooun
Ky Says State Might Just as Well
Have Left Case to Mob. .
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Mercer, Pa., May 8 The jury in
the case of Mrs. Helen Boyle return
ed a verdict this afternoon finding
her guilty of aiding, abetting and as
sisting in the kidnapping of Willie
Whltla, of Sharon. She was convict
ed on the second count in the indict
ment. The Jury , retired shortly be
fore noon and reached a verdict after
taking but a single ballot. Without
revealing the result to the court, they
were tafcen to the Hotel Humes for
luncheon ; and upon thei return to
court announced thclr verdict.
Mercer,, Pa., May 8 Sitting beside
her brother, William McDermott, of
Chicago, Helen Boyle listened to the
arguments of counsel touay in her bat
tie for freedom on the charges of kid
napping and aiding and abetting in
tire kidnapping of Willie Whltla.
There was an affecting meeting in the
Jail when the brother visited his sis
ter..' At 8:50 o'clock the Whltla party
arrived from Sharon and when court
opened at 9 o'clock the room was
completely filled. Mrs. Boyle held
numerous conversations with her
brother, who remained seated at the
counsel table with her.
"Both Jimmle and myself have
tried to tell the whole story in con
nection with this case," said Mrs.
Boyle, "We have not been permitted
to do so. It Is injustice. Everything
should be heard and thrashed out. As
for myself, I win commit suicide be
fore 1 go to the penitentiary."
At 9 o'clock court opened and At
torney Miller, for the defense, Q. A.
Gordon, for the commonwealth, and
Judge .Williams had a short confer
ence. Then Judge Miller presented
eight points of law In the case.
Immediately after presenting his
points on which he wished the Jury to
be charged, he began his address to
the Jury.
The address of former Judge Miller
was one of the ablest and most elo
quent ever heard in Mercer county.
In effect he said that Mrs. Boyle bad
never been proved to have been mixed
up in the kidnapping of Billy Whitla.
It was for that reason, he said, that
the second charge of "aiding and
abetting" was added.
Judge Miller said the prosecution
were "trying James Boyle over
again" Instead of proving Mrs.
Boyle's connection with the case.
"I bavo been associated in this
court in various capacities since
1872," he continued, "and never be
fore did I see so' much influence and
so much wealth UBed to corrupt and
prejudice your minds as In this case."
Judge Miller said not a scintilla of
evidence bad been presented against
the woman and pointed out that the
commonwealth had produced no evi
dence to contradict Mrs. Boyle's state
ment that she . had expected to get
money from' her father.
. "Why," he exclaimed, "they might
as well have left it to the mob which
tried to attack Mrs. Boyle Thursday
afternoon as to ask the jurors to
guess at their viewpoint and find ac
cordingly. "That mob was a disgrace to tbe
town when their passions were arous
ed and they wanted to show what
they could do with a frail woman un
der Indictment. The commonwealth
wants you as members of this Jury to
guess at the guilt of Mrs., Boyle. No
evidence has been produced to con
nect her with any crime in this state
and this court has no Jurisdiction
against her. ,
The address to the Jury for the
commonwealth wan made by Attorney
Q,,A Gordon." who- pointed out the
heinous character of the offense and
said that James Boyle was not smart
enough to concoct the plot, but that
It was planned by tbe defendant, '' ,

Every Butcher Indictable Under the
The butchers of this city, the sanitary officers, and the numerous dignitaries that guard the health
and peace of this municipality, may not know it, but there is a very stringent pure food law in force in this
state. It may be found by those interested (and several persons in this city should be interested) in Chapter
368 of the Laws of 1907, and will prove especially instructive to the butchers and officers aforesaid. It will
be seen that under the law every butcher in the city is liable to indictment. Not one could escape conviction.
The health and peace officers of the city of Raleigh are hereby notified that failure to comply with the plain
provisions of the law from this day henceforth will not be Charitably attributed to ignorance of the law, but to
wilful neglect of duty.
Section 8 of the pure food law roads as follows:
Sec. 8. That it shall be unlawful for any person or persons, Arm or rorKrnWoii, to sell, or to have In
his or their ossesflon to sell for human food, the cuirass or parts of any animal which bus been slaughtered,

BAD DAIRY CONDITIONS
Expert Gives Statement of
Actual Conditions
Mr. J. A. Conovcr, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
In Charge of Co-operative Demon
stration Work Here Gives State
ment of Dairy Conditions Here.
To the Editor of The Times:
To road the ordinance and the rules
and regulations concerning the sale of
milk In Raleigh would lead one to think
that this city was well provided for
so far as Its milk supply was con
cerned, but If one will take the trou
ble to look a little deeper than the or
dinance, Into the real working of the
milk supply he will see much room for
Improvement. . ,
A comparison of the ordinance and
the actual conditions as they exist as
observed In a personal visit by the.
writer may help to throw some light on
this subject.
In the rules and regulations govern
ing the sale of milk adopted by the
Board of Milk Commission March 7,
190S Is the following:
Rule 3 article 3. "It shall be the
duty of the milk Inspector to thorough
ly Inspect the premises of each dairy at
least once a month and report condi
tions." When the dairymen Were asked how
often the Inspector came out to see
them the answer In ecery case was,
"he never has been out." How then
can he be expected to know the condi
tions.
Further on In the same article ap
pears: "He shall regard as unclean
'.the- filling of bottles In any
barn where there is hay or stock or on
the street." We did not see bottles
filled in the barn, but we have seen
bottles filled time and again on the
street and any Inspector who hasn't
seen this must have Indeed been a blind
one. Not only this, but we have seen
the driver a leave a full bottle at a
house, collect an empty bottle take it
to his wagon and fill it for tho next
customer. Can anything be worse. We
doubt It. ' Parties In the first house
might have some contagious disease
which could easily be spread in this
manner. Then again there is no telling
whether that bottle, was properly wash-
ed or not. All-milk should be sold In
bottles and these should be filled and
sealed at the farm. Bottles should be
washed by the customer and again
washed and sterilized at the farm.
Some of the dairies have ample pro
vision for doing this, but there are
others that have none or but very
crude appliances for the proper hand
ling of the dairy utensils.
Reading on further we find that the
presence of "manure or filth on the
udder or belly, of the cow, dust in the
place of milking, unclean habits of
milking or milkers; filthy or unventil-
ated stables," all these conditions shall
be regarded as unclean. Yet there was
not ' a dairy visited that did not dis
obey one or all of these conditions.
We saw cows being milked that had
from one hatt to one inch of manure
caked to the flank and In a few cases
on the udder; we Saw men milking
who had but just finished cleaning the
stables or doing the feeding whose
clothes were covered- with dirt and
dust from the feed; 'we were lit sta
bles Which had little or no light and
In which no pretence was' made toward
ventilation. We saw In these same sta
bles the milk being strained, Into cans
placed directly back of the Cows. Milk
so treated is certain to absorb unpleas
ant odors even though nothing worse
gets Ihto It. Where la the Inspector?
In section 12 chapter XXII of the
ordinance of the city we find: "It shall
be unlawful to sell or offer for sale the
milk from any cow" that may be sick,
diseased or suffering from any bodily
condition or disorder liable to render
her milk unfit or unsafe to be used as
food," So far as we could learn none
of the herds were ever Inspected by a
qualified veterinarian and only nno or
two herds had been subjected to the
tuberculin test Tet there Is- abund
ant evldenee. tuberculosis can be trans
mitted from the cow to man through
the milk. Then why should not all the
herd be' iubjeoUd to the teat? There
drainage of the slaughter-house or Hlaughtcr-huii.se yawl is not efficient; if
plainly exist therein, or if kept in unclean, bad-smelling refrigerators, or
unsanitary conditions as herein defined, and shall deliver the same forth,
judge or justice of the peace, together with ail Information obtained, and
peace shall, upon sworn complaint being filed, issue wan-nuts of arrest
provisions of this section, and proceed to try the case. Anv nerson. ncr-
and the meat in question shall Ik- destroyed.
has been in the past In other cities
much "lake" tuberculosis testing, to
guard against this the clly should re
quire this testing to' be done by the
State veterinarian who offers to do this
work free of charge. Aslievile has had
all the cows supplying milk to that
city tuberculin' tested, there being
something over 1,000 this work was
done he fir. HartmaH, .assistant State
veterinarian. Is Raleigh going to take
a back see.'.?
We have shown what some of the
conditions are, now how can -they be
improved? A few changes would need
to bo made in the city ordinance, but.
for the most part It Is -sufficient, if In
forced. First, there Would need to he
a change in the system of inspection.
The time to Inspect milk is while it is
still on the wagon, before it ever
reaches tho customer, if found dirty,
adulterted or that preservatives havo
been used the wholo load should be
condemned on the spot and not allow
ed to be sold. A milk inspector who
understands his business can, with the
proper appliances, Inspect a wagon in
five minutes and determine all these
points and whether or not the milk
comes up to the' stanpwrft. By taking
a sample of milk from Vach wagon the
Inspector could, later in the day, muke
all the tests required to determine the
richness' and bacteria content.
The farms should be inspected at
least once a month. The United States
government score card should be put
Into use. each dairy scored, and these
Scores with the names of the farms
published.
It would seem then that above every,
thing else Kaleish ; needs a good live,
up-to-date milk inspector who shall
have this particular line of work to
do and nothing else, but he can't be
had for five hundred dollars or less
which would seem to be the bunt, if
section eight of the ordinance regu
lating the sale of milk Is to be taken
literally. Such a man must be fainl
llet with all the tests which are used
in inspection and he must also have a
knowledge of sanitation, must be i
diplomat and must have the backing
of the city board of health. A great
many of the sixty people selling -milk
In Raleigh live in town and keep from
one to eight cows; these need look
ing after as well as those on the farms.
Some of the worst places visited are
right here within the city limits. Every
one should be treated a like In this
matter. The city dweller who sell
milk should be made to provide every
thing necessary to produce a good arti
cle, up to the standard.
The consumer should be taught the
value of good clean milk from a tuber
culin tested herd and he should be will
ing to pay a price at which such milk
can be produced. At the present price
of feed stuffs there Is little money for
the dairymen selling milk at 8 cents
per quart.

PROPRtSS HAINS CASE
Courts Charge Probably on
Tuesday
Mclntyre Made His Boldest Move by
Closing Defense Immediately After
Prosecution Had Closed its Side ot.
' Case. -
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New York, May 8 John F. Mcln
tyre, chief counsel of Captain Peter
C. Hains, on trial at Flushing for the
killing of William E. Annis at the
Bayside Yacht Club, made the posi
tive assertion today that he felt that
9 of the jrors would vote for the ac
quittal of the army officer on the first
ballot.
"I feel that the first ballot of the
jury will be nine for acquittali" said
Mr. Mclntyre In discussing the pos
sible outcome.
"I feel that a good majority of
those twelve men have made up their
minds that Catain Hains should be
acquitted. They have heard the ter
rible story of the wrongs done him.
I am not at all worried about the tes
timony aimed against him by his
brother officers and the evidence of
the alienists, for the prosecution help
ed us instead of hurting us."
By suddenly closing the side of the
defense after the prosecution had fin
ished with its witnesses in rebuttal,
Mr. Mclntyre made his boldest move.
By bringing forth army . officers
and alienists in rebuttal the prosecu
tion practically wiped out the insan
ity defense built up for Hains. Mr.
Mclntyre, however, Instead of trying
to discredit these witnesses, let mat
ters stand as they did and announced
that he, too, had closed his side of
the case.
Both sides have filed briefs with
Judge Garretson containing sugges
tions and requests for the courts
charge, which will probably be made
on Tuesday. On Monday the prose
cution and defense will sum up, th
defense taking three hours for its ad
dress. The judge's charge is expect
ed to be over by noon Tuesday and
the case will then go to the jury. Be
fore that night he may know his fate.
Mr. Mclntyre said that he would
not use more than three hours to
sum up on Monday.
"I can tell the whole story in that
limn," he said, "and what would be
the use of prolonging It?"

Has Adopted for Meat Inspection.
The people of Raleigh are Interest
ed In having an abattoir and having
inspected meats. Never before In the
history of this city has there been
such a demand for a general cleaning
up. All day yesterday the leading
citizens were coming to The Evening
Times office and expressing their ap
preciation of the work The Evening
Times is doing for the people of this
city. Ladies were calling over the
telephone and telling us- how they ap
preciated our efforts for a clean food
supply for the people. Dr. Plttlnger,
one of the leading divines of the city,
came to The Evening Times office to
say that all we had Bald regarding
the condition of the slaughter houses
was true. The doctor had visited
these slaughter houses himself and he
said we did not tell all that could M .
told of the terrible condition t.i lv
existed at these pens. Some of the ,
men from the A. & M. College who
are experts on the subject of meats
and foods came to The Evening
Times office to tell us of the condition
that has existed out at these pens for
months past. They are experts in a
thing of this kind and they stated
that the conditions were even worse
than we had pictured them, and that
cows have been killed and sold In this
city that were in a terrible condition.
Other prominent men from all walks
of life in the city have endorsed our
statements and say that we are tell
ing the people the plain truth. Two
of the most prominent lawyers In tbe
city came to us and stated that we
were giving the people the truth and
that we could back every word In the
courts, if it was necessary, to bring
these people to justice.
Yesterday we were threatened with
damage suits if we did not
stop the exposures. We have secur
ed some of the best ex
perts to give some expert testimony
on these things and we are going to
turn on the light. The law has been
openly and flagrantly violated and
The Evening Times is going to tell
the people the plain truth as we find
it and back our statements with tbe
expert testimony of men who know.
Then if the law Is not enforced It la
up to the officers and the people will
know It.
Raleigh wants and must have a
slaughter house where tbe meats Can
be Inspected by a man who knows bis
business, and as the people are deep
ly interested in this subject, we give

the old filthy, dirty slaughter pens
and put In an up to date abattoir and

slaughtered. We can do the same
thing here if we will only get busy.
For the consideration and Informa
