The Death Angel again visited

He leaves to mourn his loss,

Wisconsin, were absent.
Harry was bright, promising
Young boy until this fatal disease

RANSOM OR DEATH.

Sharon, Pa, March 1S.-"Billy
is with us. Send us $40, 900 or we
will kill him. To do this, insert
this ad. in the Youngstown Vindi-
Gator, the Indianapolis News, the
Cleveland Leader, and the Pitts
burg papers:
" "A. Al will do as you desire.
J. P. W."
This was the letter that was this
afternoon received by Mrs. James
P. Whitla, of East State street, and
was the first information that her
son, aged eight years, had been kid
mapped. A general search is being
made for him tonight.
The letter was directed to her
husband, but was opened by her
because she recognized the child's
handwriting and became alarmed.
Western Pennsylvania and East
ern Ohio are tonight widely excited
over the most sensational kidnap-
ping in the history of either state. 1t
may rival the Cudahy case before 1T
is finished, for while little Willie
Whitla is the son of a well-to-do at
torney, he is also the favorite neph-
ew of F. U. Bull, the millionaire
iron king, and it is thought that the
kidn appers are after the lattter's
money.
The police of every city and town
within 200 miles of Sharon are to-
night looking for traces of the child,
who was stolen from the East End
public school in broad daylight this
morning by two men, evidently
Italians. Tonight more than 200
buggies and wagons and half as
many automobiles are securing the
hills and valleys within twenty
miles of Sharon, for the feeling is
abroad that the child is hidden in
one of the numerous caves, either
in Pennsylvania or in Ohio the line
of which is but a short distance
from Sharon.
1t was about $50 o'clock when
buggy with two men drove up to
the school building, and one of the
nen, jumping out, went to Janitor
William Sloss and said to him, in
ather broken English:

C00pERS ARE GUILTY

Nashville, Tenn. Mar. 2l-"Guil
ty of murder il the second degree;
punishment, twenty years impris-
onment." This was the verdict
rendered by the jury against Col.
Duncan B. Cooper and Robin j..
Cooper. The jury the day before
acquitted John D. Sharp, indicted
with the Coopers for the Staying of
former United States Senator E..
w. Carmack.
The agreement, coming as it did
upon the heels of Foreman Burke's
declaration of Friday that 1--WE are
hopelessly tied up as to the Coop
ers," was a decided surprise. With
that declaration as a text, the de-
Tense Immediately moved to set the
verdict aside. 1t will be argued
that the Judge erred in not dis
charging the jury when it was re-
ported that they were hopelessly
tied up as to the Coopers. The
higher court will be told that send
ing the jury back after such re-
port was coercion, and that this
denied the accused pair the right
of free trial guaranteed by the
Constitution.
Immediate application was made
bv the ATTORNEYS for the father and
son to have them admitted to bail,
and Judge Hart fixed the figure at
S25, 900 in each case.
First, however, he peremptorily
denied the motion of attorneys for
the defense to set aside the verdict
on the ground that it interfered
with the report made Friday at the
time Sharp was acquitted, when
the foreman declared that it was
hopelessly tied up.
Although Judge Hart fixed the
bond at sos, 900 there was rush
to sign it on. the part of wealthy
citizens IF Nashville, which fairly
swamped the clerk of the criminal
court. When there was no more
room for names at the foot of the
document, the new bondsmen in
dorsed it across the face, until it
was difficult to decipher the sigma
lures. When filed the bond totaled
nearly 81 800, 600.

RANSOM PAID
Cleveland, March 22-Billy Whit
la, who was kidnapped from the
East Ward school, at Sharon, Pa. +,
on Thursday last, was returned to
his father, Attorney j, P. Whitla,
in the Hollenden Hotel, of this city,
shortly after s o'clock this evening.
Mr.. Whitla received word In Sha-
ron Sunday after a fruitless trip to
Ashtabula that he could get his
son in Cleveland if he fulfilled GER
tain promises and conditions.
Shortly after noon he left Sharon
for Cleveland.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon
he went to a drug store in the East
End. With him he carried the
$40, 900, expecting that it would be
demanded of him there. He was
met by woman, who detailed to
him the terms of the kidnappers.
With all the eagerness of distract
ed parent Whitla agreed to them
Immediately. Halt an hour later
he returned to the Hollenden Hotel
and awaited developments.
About 8 O'Clock a man and a
woman with the boy got on Payne
avenue car at Thirteenth street, in
the heart of the city. The boy went
forward in the car, while the man
and woman sat near the door. A
few streets further on the man got
off, but the woman did not leave
the car till Ninth street was reached.
The conductor asked the boy
where he wanted to get off, and
was astounded when the boy an
swered, II want to get to the Hol-
lenden to meet my father"
"Who is your father" asked the
conductor.
"Mr. Whitla," was the answer.
~ am Billy Whitla."
The conductor by this time had
passed the Hollenden with his car
and took the lad around the FEEDER
al Building loop. They stopped
car on the return trip to the Hol-
lenden and passed the lad over to
apoliceman.
