(Received this day at 9.5 a.m.) CHICAGO, April 21
Apparently unharmed, Jerome Factor, the nineteen-year-old North Western University student held captive by kidnappers for fifty thousand dollars ransom, was freed early to-day, and returned to the apartment of his mother. Some of the police are inclined to believe that at least part of the ransom was paid, but John Factor, his father, who is an international speculator, denied this. Jerome stated that, he did not recall the details of his abduction or release, but said that he was treated well. His abduction occurred several days before the elder Factor’s appeal to the United States Supreme Court from an order extraditing him to England to face a charge of mulcting investors of seven million dollars.
