KIDNAPPING CASE
YOUTH GAINS FREEDOM.
DOUBTS ABOUT RANSOM.
(United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) Chicago, April 21.
Apparently unharmed Jerome Factor, the 19-year-old North Western University student, who was held captive by kidnappers for 50,000 dollars ransom, was set free early to-day and returned to his apartment. His mother, Mrs Leonard Marcus, and some of the police are inclined to believe that at least part of the ransom was paid, but John Factor, the father, who is an international speculator, denied this. Jerome stated that he did not recall the details of his abduction or release, but said he had been treated well. The abduction occurred several days before the elder Factor’s appeal to the United States Court from an order extraditing him to England to face a charge of mulcting investors of 7,000,000 dollars.
