As a .result 34 summonses were sent out for . witnesses living in various parts of the country, after the court" had been informed by Mr. Reid that if it failed to call the desired individuals the defense wouhL summon they and pay all the expenses involved. It was while the wrangle over witnesses was at highest pitch that the question of evidence to support Colonel Mitchell's published charg es came up for renewed discussion. Col. Sherman Moroland, chief prosecuting officer, said the tes timony the court was taking would be considered by him to be accept able only in mitigation or extenu ation of sentence.

Found at the hotel here which he. makes his .home, Mr. Boyce seemed somewhat puzzled by the chain of circumstances which had resulted in the identification of the body ag his, and the payment of cremation, expenses by his daughter upon this assumption. The case was, brought to light by the protest Mr. Boyce wrote to Chicago police, declaring that he is not dead and that the funeral expenses were excessive and were paid by his daughter under a false impression. Boyce has been president, he said, of Defiance college at Defi ance, Ohio, the Arkansas State normal school and the Chicago Athenaeum or People's College, He has six children.
