la identified the man and woman held
on suspicion by the Cleveland police
r.i the persons who kidnaped him from
the school at Sharon, Pa., last week
and held him for the $10,000 ransom,
which was paid by his father, Attorney
James P. Whltla, Monday. Willie said
the man, who gave the name of James
II. Boyle, was the one who took him
from school and carried him through
a tortuous route to Cleveland, then to
Ashtabula, back to this city and placed
him la the house in the east end,
where he was held until the money
was paid.
Willie also declared the woman

This is based upon the payment of
the $10,000 ransom paid by Mr. Whltla.
Ag Boyle and his wife are held by
the police on suspicion only, an indict
nent will afford a means of placing
them under arrest formally and then
they can be held indefinitely.

Jury room Mr. and Mrs. Whltla, Wllllo
