known to members of the Whitla family.

PICTURES OF KIDNAPPING
NEW YORK, March 2.-Jersey City has
followed the lead of several western cities
in prohibiting the portrayal of kidnapping
scenes by moving picture shows
Orders to this effect have been issued
by the police department.
In the early stages of the child-steal-
ing case many stories were published

the uncle OF the boy, and the large sum
of money he would willingly spend to re-
cover the boy and capture the kidnapers.
II is believed these stories impressed
the woman and that when she was arrest
ed she could picture the pleasure Bull
would take in prosecuting her. hence
the remark.
Whitla Family Silent
Mr.. whitIa is still in Cleveland, but
the other members of the family arrived
home last night. Today all refuse to be
interviewed. They are tired of the pub

There are a few persons in Sharon
who know much about James Boyle. His
widowed m other sister and four brothers
are known and respected but the man
under arrest has been wanderer for a
number of years and little is known con-
ed that the woman now held at Cleve-
land is the same who accompanied Boyle
to this city recently for the purpose of
attending the funeral of John Boyle,

tablsh a relationship between the woman
and a prominent family in this city. The
Sharon family owns a large department

emphatically.
Legal Principles
The legal principles of the case are oc-
cupying the attention OF the detectives
and attorneys today. No claim is made
that the woman cannot be brought back
to Pennsylvania to answer to a charge
of kidnapping, as, 1t is said, she was not
in the state when the commission OF the
crime occurred. The man will be brought
to Mercer county and tried for abduc-
ton.
The woman, Il is said, can be tried for
conspiracy and used as a witness against
the man.
There is a reward OF $1,000 from the
state of Pennsylvania for the capture of
the abductors, and several thousand dol
lars additional from newspapers about
the country. The question as to who is
entitled to the reward interests a large
number of people. When Detective Per-
kins, of Pittsburg, whose agency has been
so prominent in the case, was asked for
his views, he said:
II believe the Cleveland police author
titles are entitled to the reward Captain
Shattuck and Detective Wood certainly
made the arrests and l don't care a rap
where they got their information. They
did a clever piece of work. In fact. 1
