WILLIE WHITLA BACK HOME.
His Father Is Reported to Have Pais
$4,000 to kidnapers.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 22.-Little
Willie Whitla, who has caused the
Ice Of the entire country endless
re he was kidnapped from
fet6fh0a to his father at the Hollen-
den Hotel here tonight at $3.50
o'clock In compliance with an agree
ment entered into by the kidnapers,
the boys father and an agent of the
kidnapers, the boy was placed on a
street car on the outskirts of the
after o'clock. Two boys, G. w.
Ramsey and Edward Mahoney, recog-
nized the lad on the car, and taking
him in charge, conducted him to his
father, who was waiting, according
to prearranged plan, which he had
followed at the dictation of the kid
napers. The boy wandered about the
hotel lobby unannounced for several
minutes, asking bellboys for his ia
Their, before the latter knew his son
was in the foyer.
The moment the anxious parent
heard that strange boy was in the
hotel, sauntering in aimless fashion,
he rushed across the lobby, grasped
him in his arms and smothered him
with kisses.
An attempt had been made to dis
guise the lad. He wore a pair of
smoked glasses and large tan cap,
which was pulled over his ears, and
his father said it would have been
difficult to have recognized the boy
in such a garb had he passed him on
the street
Willie is in perfect health. He says
that he has been. well treated, and
ever since his capture has been con-
stantly indoors. He believes he was
taken from Sharon to Warren, and
thence to Newcastle, Pa. 1t is his
opinion, expressed in a happy school
boy way, that he was in Ashtabula on
Saturday night at the time his father
was to leave his $4,000 in Flatiron
Park.
Whitla, ST., refused to say whether
he had paid the ransom or not. He
said he had received a letter today
from the kidnapers at his home in
Sharon saying that if he called at a
confectionery store in the east end
of Cleveland he would be told how to
secure his boy, unframed and well
fed" Shortly after noon he left Shar-
on for Cleveland. He was unaccom- |
panied. His immediate family and
the private detectives when appraised |
of the proposed secret meeting pro-
tested, but he insisted that he make
the trip alone. Every one of them
was warned that he might be allowed |
to go unattended and no attempt at
the capture of the kidnapers be
made. Whitla is certain that if he
mad spoiled the plans of his sons cap
tors tonight he would not have seen
he lad again. His experience at Ash
.abula served as warning.

MRS. CEBRIAN ANGRY IN
TRIAL OF WILL CONTEST
Attorney Pillsbury's Question
ArOuseS Ire of Witness

Mrs. Josefa Cebrian. proponent of
the will of Maria Conception de La
veaga, which is being contested by
Miguel de Laveaga, was the only wit
ness on the stand during the trial of
the case yesterday. She displayed
much irritation toward Attorney z. S.
Pillsbury, her cross examiner. and
complained that she was suffering from
eadache and neuralgia.
Maria was one person and I was
another. so I don't know what she did
and l cannot understand why you ask
me these questions" she cried angrily,
half rising from her seat, her eyes
flashing, in answer to one of Pills
bury's queries. She said she could not
read the affectionate letters written
by her brother Miguel. her present op-
ponent, without emotion.
Several letters written by Maria de
Iaveaga to her brother Miguel were
introduced in evidence yesterday.
Pillsbury claimed that prior TO 1899
all letters by Miguel about Maria's
allowance were written to Mrs. Ce-
brian, but after a flying visit made to
San Francisco in that year by Mrs.
Cebrian the letters were addressed to
Maria.
Pillsbury's inference was that this
course was adopted so that in the
Anselmo de Laveaga litigation Marias
competency should not be attacked.
Mrs. Cebrian denied that for this pur-
pose she and Miguel had agreed that
Maria should send letters in her own
handwriting.
