A PARIS MYSTERY
PARIS, March 14. The police are mystified by the disappearance of Vincento Huidobro, the Chilian Embassy attache, who was called from home by telephone. His wife was afterwards notified that he had been kidnapped. Huidobro recently published a book entitled “Finished Britannia.” His friends state that he has since received threatening letters.
MISSING MAN RETURNS. MADE TO EAT HIS WORDS. Received March 16, 8.40 p.m. PARIS, March 15. Huidobro arrived home in a state of collapse. He affirms that, after a telephone message, believed to be from friends, he was seized, thrown into a taxi cab, chloroformed and driven to a place where two Englishmen forced him to write over and over again “England is the mightiest nation in the world.” Thereafter he remembers nothing until he found himself wandering in a boubvard. The police regard the affair as a practical joke in consequence of Huidobro’s book “Finis Britannia.”
