The officers rearrested Sharkey, McFadden and Schaeffer a few' hours later. The fifth man never was found. Two of the principal figures in the case were missing yesterday. “Jake the Barber” Factor returned to Chicago without testifying about his own kidnaping last summer. He claims he was abducted by the same men who kidnaped Hamm. One of the last things which the government tried to prove was that Hamm was taken from Minnesota to Wisconsin.

Witnesses said no such sign could be found anywhere except in Wisconsin.
