WOMAN AGTS AS AGENT Whitla Told to Call at Candy Store in Cleveland. REFUSES MO OF OFFICERS. Kidnaped Son is Sent to Him at the Hoilenden Hotel. Cleveland, March 23. Little Willie Whitla, who has caused the police of the entire country endless worry since he was kidnaped from school in Sharon last Thursday, was returned to his father at the Hoilenden hotel here last night. In compliance with an agreement entered into between the kidnaped boy's father and an agent of the kidnapers here, the boy was placed on a street car on the out skirts of the city and started to the hotel shortly after 8 o'clock. Two boys, G. W. Ramsey and Edward' Ma honey, recognized the lad on the car, and. taking him In charge, conducted him to his father, who was In waiting according to a prearranged plan which he had followed at the dictation of the kidnapers. The boy wandered about the hotel lobby unannounced for sev- era! minutes asking bellboys for his father before the latter knew his son was in the big foyer. The moment the anxious parent heard that a strange boy was in the hotel saunter lng In an aimless fashion, be rushed across the lobby, grasped' him in his arms and smothered his face with kisses. Lad Is Disguised, An attempt had been made to dls guise the lad. He wore a pair of smoked glasses and a large tan cap which was pulled down over his ears, and the father said it would have been difficult to have recognized the boy in such a garb had he passed him on the street. Stripping off the boy's cap and the smoked glasses, Whitla revealed his boy's bare head for the first time. He lifted the lad high a&ove his head so that every one might get a good view of the now famous youngster who came near to rivaling the "lost Charlie Rosa" of kidnaped fame. As soon as he could push his way through the crowd, Whitla, Sr., went to his room on the second floor. He carried the boy in his arms. For sev eral minutes he was alone in the room with bis schoolboy son. Then through the door came these words, spoken by the father to the boy's mother on the long distance telephone: 'Oh. mother. I have Willie here In my arms. He m safe. Glory to uod mama. It is the happiest night of my life." There was a pause. The mother was pleading for her husband to re turn the hoy to his home at once. "I am sorry, mother," Whitla said I can't get a train out of here until 8 o'clock in the morning. But I will come home as soon as possible. You can trust me with him, little mother, can't you?" Willie Was Wall Treated. Willie is in perfect health. He says he has been well treated and ever since hli capture has been constantly Indoors. He believes he was taken from Sharon to Warren and thence to Newcastle, Pa. It Is his opinion, ex pressed In a happy schoolboy way that he vas In Ashtabula on Saturday night at th ttme his father was leave his $10,000 In Flatlron park. Mr. Whitla said tBat he received letter from the kidnapers at his home In 8haroo, saying that if he called at a confectionery store In the east end of Cleveland he would be told how to secure his boy unharmed and "we fed." Makes Trip Alone. Shortly after noon he left Sharon for Cleveland'. He was unaccompanied. His immediate family and the private detectives ho apprised of the propoai-d secret meeting, but Insisted that he make the trip alone. Every one of them was warned that he must be al lowed to go unheeded and no attempv at the capture of the kidnapers be made. Whitla waH certain tnat If he spoiled the plms of his son's captors ho would never see the lad again, his experi ence at Ashtabula serving as a warn ing. About 2 p. m. he went to a candy tore rhe east end. With hi in he carried (10.000. expecting that It would be demanded of him there.
