When Placed In Custody the Woman Said: “I Planned the Whole Thing, and There Will Be Hell In Sharon.” Police Confident They Have the Right Parties. Cleveland, O., March 24.—In the ar- rest here of a man and woman having $9790 in their possession the police be- lieve they have captured the kidnap- pers of Willie Whitla. In fact the woman in the case, who is somewhat befuddled, admitted that she had been responsible for the kidnapping. When placed in custody at the central police station, she said to Captain Shattuck: “I am the one who planned the whole thing. There will be trouble for me and hell in Sharon.” Beneath the woman's skirt was found $9790. All of it but $40 was bound in packages, with the original slips placed on the money when Whitla took it from the bank still around it. Captain Norman Shattuck and De- tective Frank Wood made the arrests in the east end of the city. When near the police station the man broke away from Detective Wood and ran towards an alley. The police official fired two shots from his revolver into the air and the man stopped. The wo- man made no attempt to escape. The woman appears to be well edu- cated and is refined in manner. She says she spent fifteen years of her life in a convent in Pennsylvania, but de- pies that she has ever been in trouble before. Both the man and the woman deny that they know the name of each other. They admit they are not man and wife. According to the police they were intoxicated when placed in custody. Due to their condition they were not questioned closely by the police and were locked in separate cells. Captain Shattuck is said to have secured his description of the kidnappers from Willie Whitla, and this description led to the arrest. Willie told Captain Shattuck that the woman who kept him a prisoner had smallpox scars on her face. The woman in custody has such spots on her cheeks and appears to have had smallpox. She is a tall blonde, prob- ably twenty-five years old. She was dressed in a black silk skirt, a gray coat and black hat, The man is dark and smoothfaced, Detectives heard that a man and woman answering the description of the kidnappers had been seen on the outskirts of the city. They came down town and bought numerous articles of clothing, tendering $5 and $10 biile | in payment, it was learned. Later 2 report came that the people had left a package in a downtown store, which proved to consist of discarded cloth. ing. Captain Shattuck ana Detective Ward trailed the man and woman around the business city for several hours, but delayed tak- ing them into custody. When the po- | through the Suez canal, down the Red lice learned that the two had gone to the east end of the city they walked up behind the pair, and Captain Shattuck “took the woman by the arm, while De- tective Wood secured the man. The couple staggered, say the police, as if they were intoxicated. They made no protest against accompanying the of- ficers. The man was downcast and would not talk. The woman chatted with the policeman at her side at first and asked to be released. It was then she admitted having planned the kidnapping. In the mean: time the man attempted to escape and the revolver shots of Captain Shattuck bronught him to a standstill. Believe Woman Is From Sharon. Sharon, Pa., March 24.—All Sharon people are deeply interested in the ar- rests at Cleveland, and suspicion be- gan to center at once upon a woman well known here. It is believed by many persons here that the woman ar- rested on suspicion of having been implicated in the Whitla abduction case is from Sharon. The woman sus- pected has not been living with her husband for some time. If she is the woman on whom suspicion has cen- tered here. her quoted assertion that “There will be hell in Sharon,” was well founded, for her arrest would cause a great sensation. The Whole Town Turned Out to Wel: come Him. Sharon, Pa., March 24.—The whole borough of Sharon turned out and par- ticipated in the demonstratiin over the home coming of Willie Whitla, who. with his father, is now home. A big parade was led by the Buhl Independ- ent Rifles, a National Guard company and the Buhl Rifles band, both named for Wiilie’'s uncle, and thousands of persons marched behind them through the principal streets of the town to the ‘Whitla home, where fully 5000 per sons assembled on the lawn and in front of the house, cheering and giving every evidence of the public participa- tion in the family joy over the recov- ery of the little wanderer. + The band took a position on the front porch of the Whitla heme and played several selectiins, while the whole crowd cheered frantically. In a front room, visible through a window, were the Whitla family, Willie beside Detective Ward, his father and mother behind the boy. ‘When calls were made for a speech, z | | | i i i district of the | ' hours, Attello Gallegano, aged four- taught by their parents to fear stran. gers and to make an oufery whenever any stranger should attempt to induce children to accompany him. Crowd Sees Former President Off at Hoboken Pier — Youngsters Gooc Wishes Bring Smile to His Face. The Hamiurg, Carrying Him to Eu- rope, and the Admiral, on Which He Will Sail For Africa, Among the Finest Vessels Afloat. New York, March 23.—Out on the “bosom of the ocean,” as the writers have it, is Theodore Roosevelt with bis party of lion hunters. They are aboard the Hamburg-American line steamer Hamburg, which cast off her lines from her Hoboken plier on Mon- day, and to the music of the whistles of numerous ferryboats, tugs and oth- er vessels sailed down the bay with her distinguished passenger. Accompanying Mr. Roosevelt — or Colonel Roosevelt, as some wise re porters addressed him on the pler—are bis son, Kermit Roosevelt; Major Ed- gar A. Mearns, medical corps, U. 8. A., retired; Edmund Heiler and J. Alden Loring. The last named three men ac- company Mr. Roosevelt as representa- tives of the Smithsonian institution, while the younger Roosevelt is official photographer of the expedition. The long pier to which the steamer Hamburg was moored was jammed with persons gathered to see the Roosevelt party sail. They made the pler ring with their cheers for the voyager from the time of his arriva from New York city until the Ham- burg sailed. He was mightily pleascrd with the reception and showed his gratification by his smiles and the fre- quency with which he lifted his hat in response to greetings. To a reques! for a formal statement of his plans Mr. Roosevelt returned a smiling de nial. “It has all been printed over and over again,” he said, “and I have nothing to say.” Among the most enthusiastic of the cheering crowd when the Hambur;: moved slowly away from her pler was a small boy, who had crowded to the very limit permitted by the authorities of the stea.:ship line. His last cry. “Goodby, Teddy; take care of your- self!” brought a smile even to the face of the ex-president, who seemed then a little tire of smiling. Two Fine Ships Carry Party. The Hamburg is due at Naples on April 3. Mr. Roosevelt and his party will remain in the Italian city tw~ days, sailing thence on the Admiral cf the German East African line on April 5. The Hamburg is one of the finest vessels of the Hamburg-Ameri. can line and is the favorite ship o’ the German emperor. The Admiral is her equal in all the comforts and con: veniences needed for the hot trin sea and along the moist and sticky coast of East Africa. The Admiral is due at Mombasa, where the Roosevelt party will disembark, on April 22. On his" arrival at Mombasa Mr. Roosevelt and his party will go direct to the estate of Sir Alfred Pease, a member of the well-known English Quaker family, which is situated at Kilima Theki, Kapiti plains, British East African Protectorate, and remain there for three months during the heavy rains. It is expected that the Roosevelt expedition will complete {ts trip through the dark continent in the spring of next year, reaching Cairo about April 1, 1910. Tanks Burst, Flood City, Kill Two.

Frenzied Man Seized Pistol and Tried to Turn It on His Wife, When Chaloner Grabbed It, and In the Scuffle It Was Dicharged, the Bullet Entering Gillard's Head. John Armstrong Chaloner, former husband of Amelia Rives, the author- ess, engaged in a scuffle for possession oi his revolver with John Gillard, an Englishman, at his country home, “Merry Mills,” at Cobham, Va., during which the revolver was discharged and Gillard was kilied. Chaloner was fully exonerated of all blame by a coroner's jury which investigated the case. Gillard came to Virginia about two years ago from Australia, and was liv- ing within three miles of “Merry Mills.” His wife sought Chezloner’s protection from her husband who. it is alleged, had beaten her and had threatened her life. Mrs. Gillard had arrived at “Merry Mills” in advance of her husband, and with her children was waiting in the diningroom to tell her story, when her husband entered and assaulted her, it is alleged, with a pair of heavy tongs. At this point Chaloner and Erle G. Money, who was with him, entered the room and interfered. A scuffle between Chaloner and the Englishman ensued, and the former drew his pistol to re- strain the frenzied man. Gillard seized the pistol, it is said, and tried to turn I* on his wife. Chaloner grabbed it and in the scuffle the pistol was dis- charged, the bullet entering Gillard’'s temple. A magistrate was at once summoned and made acquainted wiin the facts. He held an inquest, at which the widow told the story of her hus band’s alleged brutal treatment. Steel Profits Drop Sharply.
