Mrs. Ann Boyle, one of the well known residents of this vicinity, died suddenly last evening at the home of Mrs. Mabel Kelly, of Railroad street. She had been about the house as usual yesterday and did not complain of illness. Shortly after 6 o'clock she was suddenly stricken and passed away within a short time. Mrs. Boyle was aged about 74 years. She was a native of Ireland, having been born In Castlebar, County Mayo. In her youth she came to America and resided in Wilkesbarre. She was married In that city and there her husband died years ago. Mrs. Boyle then removed to Sebastopol, where she resided for a number of years. She had two children, Winifred and Rev. P. J. Boyle. both of whom are deceased. The latter, after his ordination to the priesthood, was assigned to the west, and hip mother went out and lived with him for a few years. Mrs. Boyle was a woman of much charity and she contributed liberally to the church, nearly every Catholic church in this section having received gifts from her at some time. At State headquarters, Thomas K. Donnelly, of Philadelphia, great chief of records, announced the statistics of the Red Men of Pennsylvania for the last year closing April 1. The condemned man, whose case had aroused public Interest and public discussion unparalleled for many years lo the history of Massachusetts crime and to save whom the most extraordinary efforts had been undertaken both by bis counsel and as a result of the aggregation of opinion of a great body of people who believed him guiltless, walked from his cell to the death chair unassisted and even without the guiding arm clnsp of a prison guard. The body was discovered by a crowd of small boys who were swimming in the river near what is known as the Rock Bottom dam. This is about twenty miles from the home of the girl at Oakland. Some believe the child fell in at Oakland and was drowned and that the body was held In the mud by the ice during the winter, floating down when the river rose from the spring' rains. The relatives of the family, however, assert that the child was foully slain and thrown into the river. The deceased was an unmarried man about 36 years of age. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Dale, of Main street. Duryea. During the Spanish-American war he was a member »f the United States army and he saw active service lit the Philippines as member of Troop L, 5th cavalry.

Wild protests ure coming In by every mail from the small cuttle raisers as well us from the big ranchmen. A Kansas cattle grower telegraphed to his representative that he tried to sell some tine 1,800 pound steers and that the price had gone down $2 a hundred pounds, or $36 a steer, which represented much more than the profit. These protests ure numerous and strenuous. The writers threaten political reprisal. Just before reaching the electric chair Tucker drew from the right hand pocket of his trousers a piece of pnper. From this paper he read mechanically and In a tone so low that the witnesses could hear but n few of the words a protestation of his Innocence. The exact phraseology was only learned when the paper, which Tucker had replaced In his pocket with wonderful deliberation and calmness after he had finished reading, was removed from his clothing subsequent to Ills death. When the body was pulled out of the river yesterday word was immediately sent to the Haynes family, at Oakland. They arrived this morning and by a scar on one of the girl's feet and the clothes she wore were certain it was little Maud. The letters "M. H." 011 the Inside of the shoes also helped to make identification possible. "The face and body Itself is in a horrible condition from lying in the water so long.

A reward was also offered. Despite all efforts however, 110 trace of the girl was found und It was generally accepted that she was either dead or had been kidnapped. The parents, especially the mother, has worried herself almost insane over her daughter's disappearance and her health lias been greatly shattered. "It ought to be stated that he (Tucker) had never appeared as a witness In court; that he was young and inexperienced; that he had not had an education beyond the first few grades of the grammar school; that the attorney general was one of the most skillful and resourceful cross examiners in criminal trials In this state and would have had the defeudant at a tremendous disadvantage because of the statements made at the time of his arrest to Chief Shaw of the state police."COMING- MARRIAGES.

A big and morbidly curious crowd of the family's neighbors was at the station when the body arrived. The execution of the death sentence followed a day of anxiety on the part of the prison officials, energetic effort on the part of the prisoner's counsel and friends In a last desperate effort to at least postpone the Infliction of the denth penalty and a time of some hope and then unqualified despair for the prisoner himself.
