tliat Lieutenant Shackleton, when he
Oftrae ashore at Invercargill, N. Z., re

picture of health and intimated that
all his comrades were well.

July of 1907. The last visitors to his

Invercargill, X. Z., March 24.—Thu
barkentine Nimrod, which early in
1908 took Lieutenant E. H. Shackle

Kidnappers of Willie Whitla
May Never Be Caught.
BOY APPARENTLY DOPED
When Returned to His Father He Ap
peared Dazed and Scarcely Recog
nized His Parent—Trail of Man
Who Received the $10,000 Ransom
Ends at Door of Candy Store in
Cleveland Where Money Was Left.
Cleveland. March 24.—Throughout
the development of the plans of the
kidnappers of Willie Whitla, who was
returned to his father in this city on
payment of $10,000^ ransom, show
that they operated with the utmost
skill. Each time they have appeared
in any public place the trail ends
where they wanted it to end.
At the East End candy store where
the money was paid the tracks of the
man who got it end at the door. At
Payne avenue and East Thirtieth
street, where the boy was taken to
board the car, there Is no trace of the
man who accompanied him beyond
the vacant lot where he stood and
watched the boy take the street car
Whether they will ever be captured
is problematical.
It may be a day or two before Billy
Whitla is able to tell the whole story
of his wanderings. When he came
into the Hollenden hotel he was dazed.
He scarcely knew his father when the
man leaped to him and seized him in
hie arms.
He did remember that a woman
gave him "medicine," evidently a
strong narcotic, for many of the
child's recollections are hazy in the
extreme. His heavy eyes and unac
customed dullness of speech prove
that he was in a stupor much of the
time that he was in the custody of
the child stealers.
Even when he came to the Hollen
den he thought he was in Ashtabula
or Akron—he had heard tjie men tell
of those two places. He knew he
had been in Warren and in Newcastle.
He thought he had been in the latter
place three days.
He had been in bed much of the
time, apparently under the influence
of drugs.
LEFT IN LITTLE CANDY STORE
Ransom of §10,000 Lay Exposal on
Cigar Case.
Cleveland, March 24.—Jamee P.
Whitla and his son "Billy" left here
for the family home In Sharon, Pa.,
and were escorted to the railroad sta
tion by a cheering crowd of people.
The kidnapped youngster was clasped
in the arms of his father trom the
moment they left the Hollenden hotel
MADISON. SOUTH DAKOTA, WEDNESDAY, JIAKt ll 24, 1909
until they reachpi the train. Mr.
Whitla was r.ot t.clinul to discuss the
matter or ransom or the plans of the
family in dealing with the kidnapper*,
"I am so glad to have the boy Ml
my is," said the father, half smil
ln? half crj lug,' "that I have given
no ght to the kidnappers. That
wi up to the police and as I live
an •-athe I am toot worrying over
tf movements."
I $10,000 ransom of Billy Whitla
wat paid to his kidnappers in a little
candy store at East Fifty-third street
and Standard avenue. The mono
was received by an ordinarily dressed
workingman. who gave his name a
Hayes. He picket up the package
filled with yellow backed bills, smiled
nouchalantly and left.
Mrs. Bernard Hendrickson, teni
porarily In charge^f the store for her
mother, Mrs. Margaret Uhle, forgot to
notice which way the man went an i
at the door of the little grocery is th
last trace the police have of hbB.
Called Twice for Packagi.
The Hayes man stepped into th«
store at noon and asked if a package
had been left there for him. Mr
Hendriekson, without noting his ap
pe-irance, told him there had not been
An hour later a .prosperous lookinu
man, who said his name was Will
lams, came in with a small packag
in his pocket.
"He said ie wasted to leave it for
a man named Hayes." said Mrs. Hea
drickson. "He asked if Hayes had
been here and said he had. Will
lams left the package and not two
minutes later Hayes came In and
asked 'Is my pack^pe here?'
"I told him that it was and to"
smiled. Without another word ha
took it from wher% It lay exposed on
top of the cluar ea#c and went away."
A few hours later the kidnapped
boy was placed of a street ear and
sent to the HoUen«|o:i h. tel where his
father was aw:ii|lrt£ tin- fu!.n!lni*tit of
the kidnappi rxY premise to release the
boy and send hini to the hotel
The Cleveland police are not in
clined to believe Mrs. Hendrickson
was a party to tJhe kidnapping plot,
but that she was merely an innocent
agent for the payment of the $10,000
ransom.
GREETED BY GREAT CROWD
Willie Whitla Arrives at His Home at
Sharon, Pa.
Sharon, Pa., March 24.—WlBie
Whitla arrived here at It'tW p. m. A
crowd of fully S.tKWJ iterflons ext?nde!
the boy a demonstration of greeting.
Cheering and singing the crowd fol
lowed the boy and his father to the
Whitla home.
With difficulty the father, boy and
others of the party succeeded in ex
trlcating themselves from the crowd
and went into the house. Here the
mother, who had been patlejitly wait
ing with happy anticipation to see her
boy, alTectionat' ly clasped her child
to her breast and for several minutes
they clung to one another and sobbed
After being iu the house five min
utes Mr. and Mrs. Whitla, with Bill,
his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Buhl,
and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
William Whitla, both of them over
eighty years old, came out to the
front porch. The crowd cheered and
rushed toward the house For a mo
ment it seemed as though some of the
people would be crushed. They were
restrained by the detectives, however,
and consented to keep still while the
family posed for a photograph. As
soon as this was over the demonstra
tion broke forth again and continued
until long after the party returned to
the house.
