APTURED WITH
MONEY IN BOX
Man and Woman Had Money
Paid For Boys Return
WOMAN ADMITTED GUILT
Man Tried to Escape and Was Shot
at BY Poliee-5oy Home and
Parents Happy.

Cleveland. March 2S.-In man and
woman who were arrested here to-
night the police say they undoubtedly
have the kidnappers OF Willie Whitla
of Sharon, Penn. The two were ar
rested as they were on their way to a
railway station trying to leave the
city
In a pastebOard box carried by the
woman who was heavily yelled, was
found $9,S45 in bills of S., $40 and 500
denominations, such as made up the
$4,000 paid yesterday by Mr. Whitla
for the return of his boy.
One OF the men was shot at as he
was trying to escape at the station
house. They denied that they had
anything to do with the kidnapping.
but would not explain how they came
to have such a sum Of money or
whence they had come or their des-
tination.
The arrest was made by Capt, Shat
tuck and Detective Wood of the local
police as they were walking on Ontar-
10 street. These officers had had
them under surveillance.
The man has stoop and a face
with evidences Of a recent shave. He
is about five feet seven inches in
height, rather heavy set and answers
to the description of one of the kid
nappers, except that the stubby mus
tache is gone.
The woman is young and rather nice
looking. She made a desperate effort
to hold on to the box of money when
being taken into the station. The
man was shot at by Capt. Shattuck as
he tried to escape at the station.
Perkins detectives from Pittsburg
are on the way here from Sharon with
Janitor Schloss of the Sharon school,
from which Willie Whitla was taken.
The suspects will be held until the
arrival of the detectives, unless they
can prove an alibi at once.
While being examined the woman
said. You've got us. There will be
hell to pay in Sharon tomorrow"
a number of other persons are I'M

IN FIVE MINUTES.
There Will be No Stomach Misery or
Indigestion II You Try Dia-
pepsin

When your stomach is weak or
lacking in gastric juice anything that
you eat, no difference what it is. will
sour on your stomach, raise the bile
and acids to cover your food like oil
ON water, causing indigestion, Dyspep-
STA, Stomach nervousness and belch-
ing of sour poisons, which produce
foul odors, nasty taste, bilious head
ache, heartburn, intestinal gripping and
make you an object of misery. This
Is stomach trouble which can not be
overcome with ordinary digestive med
iclnes. II is caused by fermentation
OF your food which will be remedied
at once by Pape's Diapepsin, a prep
aration pleasant to take and as harm
less as candy, though it will digest
and prepare for assimilation into the
blood all the food you eat.
Indigestion is a result. not a cause
of your trouble. If the stomach is
sour and unhealthy, your food becomes
tainted and that's what is causing the
Indigestion and gas on stomach and
other miseries. Pape's Diapepsin is
an Antacid, most powerful digestive
and thorough regulator for weak
stomachs. These triangules will di.
gest any kind of food you eat and will
cleanse the stomach and intestines in
natural way, which makes you feel
fine five minutes afterwards
Any good pharmacy here will sup.
ply you with a case of Pape's Diapep-
sin for fifty cents. Just reading about
this remarkable stomach preparation
will not help. You should go now and
get case. Put your stomach in full
health and by tomorrow you will for
get the misery of Stomach trouble.
Your case is no different from many
others. 1t isn't Stomach Nerves or
Catarrh of the Stomach, or Gastritis
or Dyspepsia. 1t is Food rotting-
Food Fementation-that all-and
takes about five minutes to overcome.
