Airspace Structure; Human Factors; Procedure
Aircraft X requested to depart Runway 04. Aircraft Y was cleared to land on Runway 14. Shortly before I had already departed Aircraft Z in the left closed traffic pattern for Runway 14. My attention then returned to watching Aircraft Z pass through the departure corridor of Runway 04 and I cleared Aircraft X for takeoff to turn right heading 220. When I scanned the runways Aircraft Y was at taxi speed and he stopped short of the intersecting runway Aircraft X was departing from. I did not instruct him to but he did. I also tried to cancel Aircraft X's takeoff clearance since I did not issue a hold short instruction to Aircraft Y; but received no response and he departed without further incident. I taxied Aircraft Y off of the runway without further incident.I should have utilized land and hold short instructions and focused on working the runway out and not become distracted.
