THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FACTOR'S SON GIVEN LIBERTY BY KIDNAPERS Youth Unharmed After Being Held Captive for Eight Days. (Continued from Page One) they released me. I was in a daze. I walked down the street until I saw a cab. I got in and came here. Mrs. Marcus screamed and became hysterical when she saw her son. He was unshaven but appeared in good health. Captain Dan Gilbert immediately went to the Marcus home to ques- | tion the youth. He said young Factor appeared uncertain regarding ; the details of the abduction. “The kidnapers told me they didn't get any ransom but were bringing me back just the same," j young Factor said. His father confirmed this statement, and swore he paid no money for his son's release. A belief persisted, however, that | some ransom had been collected. Only Meager Description I The youth had only a meager description of the kidnapers. "They made me take off my glasses whenever they approached." he said. "I do not see very well ! without glasses and couid not tell what the men looked like. Some I of the time they wore pillow cases | over their heads. Other times, they I made me turn away when they enj tered the room. I "Two men grabbed me as I walked ! up to our apartment a week ago ! Wednesday night. They took me to I the curb, and forced me to enter an automobile. I was placed on the floor in the rear. "The men said, ‘now we’ll find out I how much your father thinks of | you.’ "They drove for about two hours, and then led me blindfolded up a flight of stairs to a small room with a mattress in it.” Left Blindfolded on Street The youth said he was forced to write three letters to his father. These letters gave the ransom demand as SIOO,OOO. The kidnapers treated him well, he said, supplying him with whatever food he asked, magazines and newspapers, m which he read accounts of the abduction. "Last night they told me they were going to take me home,” Factor said. "They searched me to see if I had any evidence, and then put me in the automobile again. “The night before they had moved me, driving about an hour to another room. "This time they drove again for about an hour. They let me out, and bandaged rny eyes. "When I took the bandage off they had driven away. "I walked a short distance to a # AFTER 40 i BOWEL TROUBLE IS MOST DANGEROUS Constipation may easily become chronic after forty. Continued constipation at that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other disorders. Watch your bowels at any age. Guard them with particular care | after forty. When they need help, remember a doctor should know what is best for them. “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin” is a doctor’s prescription for the bowels. Tested by 47 years' practice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving constipation and its ills for men, women and children of all | ages. It has proven perfectly safe : even for babies. Made from fresh, j laxative herbs, pure pepsin and i other harmless ingredients, it can- ; not gripe: will not sicken you or j weaken you; can be used without harm as often as your breath is bad, your tongue is coated; whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy condition warns of constipation. Next time just take a spoonful of this family doctor’s laxative. See how good it tastes; how gently and thoroughly it acts. Then you will know why it has become the world's most popular laxative. Big bottles —all drug stores.—Advertisement.
