RCchester-The worst fire in this
city in years totally destroyed the
beautiful home Of Frank Chute with
all it's contents, and the escape of the
family from the burning building was
miraculous. The fire originated in the

a neighbor saw the flames about mid
night. Mrs. Chute awoke, hearing
something fall, and found her room
completely filled with smoke. She
called her husband and they hastily
secured their children and made their
escape. All their clothing, furniture
and many valuable keepsakes were
consumed by the fire. The loss will
be about $4,000.

In the kidnapping of Willie Whitla,

ler yesterday. The boy established
the connecting link between the mys-
terious woman and the offense.
Mrs. Boyle intimated several times
yesterday that there would be a SEN
sation in Sharon as soon as her real
identity was made known. This
assertion spurred the police to ex-
haust every effort to find out who she
is and what her Sharon connections
are.
After she had been seen by Attor-
ney j. P. Whitla, father of Willie, the
police were no nearer solution of
the mystery. Whitla proffered no in
formation to the police. He refused
to indicate whether he knew her or
not
Identified by Willie.
Cleveland, O., March 25.-Willie
Whitla yesterday identified the man
and woman held on suspicion by the
Cleveland police as the persons who
kidnapped him from the school at
Sharon, Pa, last Thursday and held
him for the $4,000 ransom, which
was paid by his father, Attorney
James p. Whitla, Monday.
Willie said the man, who gave the
name of James H. Boyle, was the one
who took him from school and carried
him through tortuous route to
Cleveland, then to Ashtabula, back to
this city and placed him in the house
in the East End, where he was held
until the money was paid. Willie
also declared that the woman was the
one who cared for him at the house
where he was detained and who acted
the part of a nurse.
Boyle said the woman is his wife.
The police have no other identifica-
tion of the couple than the names
given. So far as the man is concern
ed, the police believe the name is cor
rect. Boyle is said to reside in Sha-
ron and is a plumber by trade. He
is Said to have a widowed mother,
four brothers and sister.
The woman who is accredited with
being the wife of Boyle declared soon
after her arrest that her Identification
would cause a sensation in Sharon.
When the Identification was COM
pleted Mr.. Whitla would say nothing
regarding the woman. He said he
knew Boyle slightly.
Immediately after Willie Whitla
had seen the man and woman at the
central police station, they were taken
to the county courthouse and there
appeared before the grand jury. They
were examined for the purpose of aid
ing the jury in it's attempt to find an
indictment against the two prisoners.
The charge under the laws of Ohio
against the man and woman, If an in
dictment is found, will be blackmail.
