Whitla Boy Recognizes Cou
ple Under, Arrest.
CONFRONTS THEM AT CLEVELAND
Whitla, Sr., Declines to Say if He
Knows the Woman Admits
Acquaintance With
the Man.
Cleveland, O., March 23. Willie
Whitla has identified the man and wo
man held on suspicion by the Cleve
land police as the persons who kid
naped him from the school at Sharon,
Pa., one week ago today and held him
for the $10,000 ransom which was paid
by his father, Attorney J. P. AVhltla,
last Monday.
W,tllle said the man, who gave tho
name of James H. Boyle, was the one
who took him from school and carried
him through a tortuous route to Cleve
land, then to Ashtabula, back to this
city and placed him In the house In
the east end, where he was held until
the money was paid. Willie also de
clared that the woman was the one
who cored for him at the house where
he was detained and who acted the
part of a nurse.
Boyle said the woman is his wife.
The police have no other Identification
of tho couple than the names given.
So far as the man Is concerned, the
police believe the name Is correct.
JAMES T. WHITLA.
Boyle Is said to reside in Sharon and
Is a plumber by trade. He is said to
have a widowed mother, four broth
ers and u sister.
The woman, who Is accredited with
being the wife of Boyle, declared' soon
after her arrest that her Identification
would cause a sensation in Sharon.
When the identification was complet
ed Mr. Whitla would say nothing re
garding the woman. He said he knew
Boylo slightly.
Immediately after Willie AVhltla had
seen the man and woman nt the cen
tral police station they were taken to
the county courthouse, and there ap
peared before the grand jury. They
were examined for the purpose of aid
ing the jury in its attempt to find an
indictment against the two prisoners.
The charge under the laws of Ohio
against tho man and woman If an In
dictment was found will be blackmail.
This Is based upon the payment of
the $10,000 ransom paid by Whitla.
As Boyle and his wife are held by
thu rtnlll-l. mi eilfinfnlnn rtnM- nn t.i-

uiuiiucui win uiiuru u uicuiis oi plac
ing them unlcr arrest formally, and
then they can be held Indefinitely.
After leaving tho grand jury room
Mr. nnd Mrs. Whitla, Willie and the
janitor of the Sharon school which
Willie attended left for Sharon.
As tho prisoners have not waived
extradition, they will he held hero for
two or three days until the necessary
papers for their removal to Sharon can
bo arranged between the governors of
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
A. woman known as Mary Dlener,
who, tho police say, may have been an
associate of the kidnapers or was Im
plicated in tho plot, committed suicide
by drinking morphine while standing
In front of a drug store In tho east
end, not far from the house In which
Willie AVhltla wus detained. She died
in an ambulauco while being token to
a hospital.
Attorney Whitla, accompanied by
Mrs. AA'hltla, tholr son and daughter,
Willie and Sallno; a boy schoolmate of
AVUHe, Harry Forker; n brother of
Mrs. Whitla, Janitor Sloss, Chief of
Police Crane, Detectlvo Kemplcr, Dis
trict Attorney Ltnlnger, former Dis
trict Attorney Cochrane and Detectlvo
Ward, all of Sharon, comprised tho
party that came hero to identify tho
two prisoners if possible. On their ar
rival they went to the Hollcndcn ho
tel. Two private detectives who repre
sented Wbltla first went to the pollco
station la ah effort to bm Cblgf of Fo-
lice Kohlcr to nrrange for tho Identifi
cation. At once there was a clash.
The chief would not admit the detec
tives and stated that he would have
nothing to do "with them nud would
deal only with Whitla and his son.
This was reported to Whitla, and
another dispute occurred, which prom
ised for a time to stop the Identifica
tion proceedings. Whitla telephoned
to the chief from the hotel that he had
arrived and that he was ready to sec
the chief. Chief Kohler replied hotly
that he was at the police station where
the prisoners were being held and that
Whitla could see 'him there If be cared
to assist In the prosecution of the man
and woman in custody.
The chief told Mr. Whltln his son
Willie, who was kidnaped, was tha
only one whose testimony would be of
value. Upon receiving this ultimatum
Mr. Whitla arranged to take the boy
and the other members of the party to
the police station.
TO CHECK KIDNAPING.
Bills Providing For More Severe Pun
ishment For the Crime.
Albany, N. Y., March 25. The kid
naping of Willie Whitla has had the
effect of causing the introduction of
several bill in the legislature designed
to make more severe the penalty for
such a crime In this state.
Assemblyman Lefflngwell put In a
bill which makes the punishment
death or life Imprisonment, as the
jury may determine. Another bill by
Assemblyman Cuvllller makes the
maximum penalty life imprisonment.
The maximum penalty under the
present law Is imprisonment for twenty-five
years. Senator Hill, who in
troduced a bill making the punishment
imprisonment from five to fifty years,
said:
"Kidnaping is one of the most seri
ous problems with which we are con
fronted today. Our present laws in
view of the Whitla and other promi
nent cases seem to be Insufficient for
dealing with that which In all civilized
countries Is regarded as a most heinous
offense."
