WHITLA KIDNAPPERS
SEEKING PARDON
Harrisburg, Pa., May 21. The
"Billy" Whitla kidnaping case, which
mystified the police of the country
about four years ago, and which re
sulted in legislation making the of
fense a crime punishable by life sen
tence in several states, was fought
over again here today when lawyers
for Helen Boyle argued before the
Pennsylvania state pardon board in
behalf of leniency for their client.
Helen Boyle is serving a twenty-five
year sentence in the western pennsyl
year sentence in the Pennsylvania
prison for her part in the sensational
kidnaping case. Her husband, James
Boyle, is serving a life sentence.
Attorney Fred E. Reese today pre
sented evidence tending to show that
Helen Boyle's "record" which count
ed heavily with the court In consid
ering her sentence, was a complete
"frame-up." The Boyles were con
victed after a record trial after the
Whitla boy was found In Cleveland In
Mrs. Bpyle's keeping. The Boyles
had demanded a heavy ransom for
the little fellow.
At the time of the trial. Gilbert B.
Perkins, head of the Perkins Detec
tive Agency, who had led in the
search for the boy. furnished" practi
cally all the evidence for the prose
cutor. Among other things Perkins
brought to light an alleged five-year
police record against Helen Boyle.
She denied the record as a frame-up
and during one session of the trial
dramatically denounced Perkins, tell
ing him. despite efforts of court offi
cials to quiet her, that he would live
to come before a judge as a defendant
begging for mercy. Perkins Is now
serving a term in the Leavenworth
penitentiary.
Attorney Reese today' declared he
has evidence which will absolutely
prove that the alleged police record
was without foundation. He present
ed to the pardon board affidavits
from Helen Boyle's parents and
friends in Chicago in which it was de
clared that during the five years the
police record covered, the woman had
been with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William McDermott and that she
had not left her Chicago home until
thirteen months before the kidnap
ing of Billy Whitla.
