The dead are Thomas, aged three, and Zella, asix years. at .him. Whltla acquiesced to the request of the crowd, and carrying the boy. on hla shoulder, walked down Into the lobby. Mounting a raised platform la the centre of the lobby. Whltla gave every one a chance to «ee both father and son. Cries of "speech," caused Whltla to say a few words as follows: "This Is my son. He was lost and Is found again. If I live a thousand years, I never can do enough to re pay the press, the police and the peo ple who all have done noble work In helping to find my boy and In extend ing their sympathy to me and my family and relatives." The fatheV then sought to Induce the child to say a few words In re sponse to the crowds demand, but frightened, Willie began to cry, so the assemblage cheered him again and dciflsted In Its efforts to make him speak. Later the boy related his story to his father and the newspaper men, as follows: “A man, tall and with a black mustache, came to the school hou e. Thursday and told my school teach er, Mrs. Anna Lewis, that you want ed me at your office. I went out to a buggy with him. On the way down town, he asked me to address a let ter to you. I did this, and then dropped it into a small box. He was awfully kind. "We went from Sharon to War ren. The man, who was the same one who brought me to the car line tonight, was nice to me. He tucked the robe about my legs. Gpe, he was good. "When he got to a place the man said was Warren, the man left the buggy In the road. Then we got on what I think was an electric car. I was sleepy when we got on the car. "When we got to a town that the man called New Castle they took me to a big building and turned me over to a woman. . She was good to me. The hospital* or whatever the build ing was, was a clean place. There was a man there who I think was a doctor. He looked like a doctor, be cause he had short, merry whiskers. "The people In the hospital told m^ that I must do Just what they told me to do. If I did not obey them they said they would take me to a place called the pest house, where folks that have smallpox have to go. I walked the chalk just like a good boy, papa, like you've told me to do. “On Saturday night I was taken away from the hospital, and I think we went to a town called Ashtabula. We traveled in a bngiry and on foot. Early In the morning we went back to the hospital. I heard one of the men say: ‘There will be nothing dofng tonight, I -guess.’ "They told m^ I was taking a little vacation. I was not going to be hurt, they told me, so I just acted nice and had a good time playing around the hospital. I knew I would get back home all right, and just supposed ‘Mr. Jones’ was one of my father^ friends, who was treating me nice because you wanted him to treat me that way. papa, dear.” SECOND TRAGEDY AT GREEK Both Caused by Accident, D Claimed by Some.

It seems that Gwlnn and several of his companions were in Sloan's store late yesterday afternoon, with the door closed. Trammell came to the door and gave several raps, and Gwlnn, ac cording (o his statement, seized one of the pistols that were said to be on the counter and, aiming It at the door, pulled the trigger, think- tng that the weapon "was unloaded. The pistol was discharged and Tram mell fell dead, with a bullet In his breast. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from a pistol hall wound In the hands of John Gtfinn. This is the second tragedy at Greer within the week.

Willid Whltla, who has caused the police of the country endless worry since he was kidnapped from school Hr Sliiaron, Pa., last Thursday, was returned to his father at the Hol- lenden Hotel here tonight at 8 30 o'clock. Shortly after noon Mr. Whltla left Sharon fpr Cleveland. He was unaccompanied. His Im mediate family and the private de tectives he had In his employ he ap prised of the proposed secret meet ing, but Insisted that he make the trip alone. Every one of them was warned that he must be allowed to go unheralded and no attempt at the capture of the kidnappers now be made. Whltla was certain that if he spoiled the plans of his son's cap tors tonight, he would never see the Ud again. About 2 o’clock this afternoon he went to a candy store In the East End. With him he carried the $10,- 000, expecting that It would he de manded of him there. He was met by a woman, who detailed to him the terms of the kidnappers. ' With all the eagerness of a distracted parent Whltla agreed to them Immediately' Detectives In'his employ say that h? paid the money, but on this point the father declines to commit him self. Half an hour later he return ed to,the Hollenden Hotel and await ed developments. As he waited in the hotel lobby and corridors Whltla was in a highly nejybus condition. A few newspaper men walked over to talk to him. "In heavens name, men, do not say anything to me. I am on the verge of nervous prostration,” he said. "I expect the boy will he back to night, but I cannot state positively .whether he will be returned safe and sound. Do not ask me to reveal the alleged settlement. That might ruin all of the plans.” In the meantime little Willie was being treated kindly, and even at this time does not realize what dang- <*r he was in. The woman in the candy store had done her duty. She communicated with the captors of the boy and told them that the fath er had made no attempt to trap them. The hoy was brought from his unknown hiding place to a car line in the east end of the city. A few rods from the car line the 'man stopped the boy. Pulling a pair of smoked glasses from his pocket he adjusted them to the lad's head with the remark: “You’ll look,bet ter in these.” The sides of the black yarn cap were pulled carefully over the boy's ears. A slip, which Willie was to hand to the conductor, was put in the 1 toy's pocket. It read: "Send this boy to the Hollenden Hotel double quick.” Willie says the man told him that If anybody asked him who took him to the car line to tell them it was Mr. Jones.” “All right, Mr. Jones,” answered Willie. Presently a car came Into view and the mysterious Mr. Jones drew the hoy close to him. "Well, Willie, you are going down town now and you will se your papa pretty soon," he said. This delighted Willie, lie swung on to the car quickly, according to the conductor. "Mr. Jones” paid the boy's fare and then got off the car and disappeared after waving a friendly adieu. Presently Edward Mahoney, aged 17, sat down In the seat with the boy. Mahonev. like most every oth er person in Cleveland last night, was looking for Willie Whltla. So he started a conversation. "What's your name,” he queried. “Jones,” answered Willie, hs his kidnapper friend haA told him to do. But Mahoney was not to’be fooled. He called his friend. Ramsey, over from another part of the car and showed him Willie. He suggested that it might be the missing child. Then Willie showed them his trans fer slip, saying that he should be pm off at the Hollenden Hotel, and they were convinced it was he. The ho vs tr jk Willie to the fiat il. He skipped through the doors ahead of th'un. and into the* lobby. Willie did hot see his fa'ler, moth er or sister in the lobby. WaMtlr'g over to the clerk he asked: “Have you seen my papa?” "Who Is he, hoy?" he was asked. "Oh, I'm Mr. Whitla's Willie,” he replied. The crowd nearest the boy who heard the wrords rushed in around him. The father and his boy were then brought together and the rapid ly increasing crowd gave frantic chtxye for. them botfi.. .Father, and son went to the former’s room. Then through the door came those words, spokejn by the father, to the boy’s mother, on the long distance telephone: "Oh, mother, I have Wil lie, here In jny. arp*. . He ,1b safe. Glory to God, mama, it is the hap piest night of my life.” Against Companies That Do Not Comply With Law. Columbia, March 24.—The Record says a number of unauthorized in surance companies seem to be seek ing business in this State. As these companies come under notice of Com missioner McMaster, he reports them to the insurance commissioner of their home State, and In some cases these commissioners take action to restrain these companies and require them to comply with the laws of South Carolina. In other instances Commissioner McMaster is reporting these concerns to the fraud order department of the postoffice in the hope that this department will re strain them from the use of the mails. It ts not meant that In either case these concerns are irresponsible, but they are not licensed to do bus iness in South Carolina, and policy holders Ih this State wonld have no recourse to secure payment of claims. Commissioner McMaster reports that one of the most active unlicens ed companies in South Carolina Is soliciting business through the mails Is the Pennsylvania Life and Acci dent Association of Philadelphia. He has reported this association to the insurance department of Pennsylva nia, hut the insurance commissioner of that State says that he has no urisdicition over such organizations as the Pennsylvania Life and Acci dent association and therefore he can not aid Commissioner McMaster in preventing this association from so liciting business in South Carolina.
