Harry Forker In the Wbitla kidnap-
ping, and using his name in cOnnec-
ton with the alleged murder in
Youngstown, was made public.
FOrknr declared the intimatiOns,
although without the slightest fOun-
datiOn. were not new to him. as he
had understood for some time such a
statement was threatened. Whitls
was greatly vcxed when he learned
of the publication of the statement
He pronounced the whole story as a
malicious faIsehOod. The community
is excited tonight even more than the
day of the kidnapping.
As this is thsFhome OF Boyle, he has
some friends who give credit TO his
tale, but the greater part Of the com
munity heSitates about giving Gre
dence to the story involving a re-
spected member of the community,
especially when the only charge
against him is the unsupported state
ment OF convicted felon.
Janitfr Sloss9 of the school from
which the boy was taken. insists still
that Boyle was the man who called
for the boy and took him away III
