Kidnapped Boy Recovered After Ransom Delivery At Grocery
In Sharon Pennsylvania on March 23 a 5,000 strong crowd welcomed Willie Whitla home after a ransom payment arranged in a grocery store near East 53rd Street and Standard Avenue. A second letter prompted the drop, and Hayes collected the package. Whitla declined to discuss further ransom or family plans, leaving that to police. Separately, George S. Merriam sold nine acres of Peshastin land to H. H. Kelly for 1500 despite the area being underwater but raw.
