Creek - college at WILLIE WHITLA STILL MISSING Few Developments in Sharon Kidnapping Case. CONFLICTING STATEMENTS According to Detectives a Fourth Let- ter Has Been Received From the Abductors, but the Father of the Boy Denies This and Says He Has Discharged the Police and ' Private “Sleuths” in His Employ, Sharon, Pa., March 23.—Conflicting statements issued by detectives and Mr. Whitla greatly confused newspa- per men at work on the kidnapping case. According to the detectives a fourth letter has been received from the ab- ductors and their capture, they al- lege, is only a matter of a few hours. Although this statement from detec- tives was made immediately following a conference with Mr. Whitla and while the officers were still in Mr. Whitla’s office the missing lad’s father the next instant called thz newspaper men into his private office and told them he 'had ‘discharged a'l the detectives ‘and in the future did not desire or want the services of the police. ‘When the - detectives and Mr Whitla were told of the statements made by each other apparently all were surprised. Detective Perkins of Pittsburg is responsible for the assertion that a fourth letter has been received by Mr. Whitla from his baqy’s captors. The letter, he says, Is postmarked Cleveland, O. 'He further said a de- tective has been sent to Cleveland. In his statement Mr. Whitla says there are absolutely no new develop ments_in the case. All he wants, he says, is to get into communication with the abductors and he has dis- charged all the police and detectives In his employ. Mr. Whitla also con- veys the information that he has of- fered no reward, nor does he intend to-do so. All that he wants, he says, is the boy and he is willing to deal with the kidnappers and pdy the $10,- 000 ransom at any time. In conclu- sion the statement is to the effect that Mr. and Mrs. Whitla are holding up as well under the circumstances as could be expected. + So far nothing has been heard from the three squads of state constabulary who are engaged in running down clues in this vicinity and Ohio.
