The boy, who was placed on a
car by the kidnapers and sent to
the Hollenden hotel, where the
father had arranged to greet his
son, when he arrived at $3.50 last
night and is in good spirits this
morning.
1t is practically certain Whitla
left $4,000 with the woman who
acted as a go-between.
The police are still investigating
the case. It is reported Whitla
gave them all the information he
possessed.
Pat Grove, famous kidnaper of
the Cudahy boy, today predicted
the arrest of the kidnapers.
The little boy was unable to tell
much definite as to the kidnapping.
He said a man with a black nous
tache came to the school at Sharon
and took him away telling the
teacher the boys father wanted
him. They got into buggy and
stopped once to let the boy post a
letter to his father that the man
gave him.

True to the agreement the kid

Miss Jessie Shirley will assume

Orphans Home of Spokane. Miss
Shirley interested herself in the lit
tie tots under the charge Of Mrs.

known, and after a hasty confer
epce this morning with Manager
Hayward of the Auditorium decided
her company would give the bene.
fit, every red cent of the receipts to
go to the home for the use of the
children.
The fact that the little orphans
were almost without the bare ne
cessities of life and that they had

stirred Miss Shirley. She made a
personal investigation of the mat

help from her. Although her COM

members were only too glad to ap-
pear in the extra performance to
aid the fatherless and motherless
babes.
You cannot say too much con-
corning the sympathy I have for
the orphaned children" said Miss
Shirley. "Above all others, their
cases appeal to me the strongest.

they can to aid the helpless chill
