The "Billy" Whltla Kidnaping case, which mystified the police of the country about Tour years ago, and which resulted in legislation making the offense a crime punishable by life sentence 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 twentyfive year sentence in the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary for her part in the sensational kidnaping case.

Her husband, Boyle, is serving a life sentence. Attorney Fred E. Reese todny presented evidence tending to show that Helen Boyle's "record" which counted heavily with the court in considering her sentence, was a complete "frame-up." The Eoyles were convicted after a record trial after the Whitla boy was found in Cleveland in Mrs. Boyle's keeping. The Boyles had demanded a heavy ransom for the little fellow.
