(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot)
gainesville, Ohio, March 21.-A start
ling sequel to the abduction of Gerald
Lapiner, the three-year- old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Lapincr, which occur
red in Chicago May so. 1893, developed
here to-day in the recovery and resto-
ration OF the child TO his mother. and
the arrest OF Mrs. Ann Ingersoll and
John c. Collins, who live about mile
west OF Puinesville, at whose place the
child was found. and where he had
been kept since last June.
THE STORY.
On May 30th Gerald Lapiner was alb
Quoted by mysterious woman from in
'front.' OF his parents home, 1885 Prairie
avenue. Chicago. The woman and child
were traced for a short time. and then
all track OF them was lost A large
reward was offered for the recovery OF
the child, and although the Chicago DO
ice made every effort to bring the
kionAppers to justice nothing further
could be learned.
Two months ago a newspaper &C,
ward offered came under the notice of
Mr.. Il. 70. Ferris and his sister, Miss O.
=. Ferris. neighbors of the Ingersofls.
MT. and Miss Ferris suspected that tho
little boy, who had been at the resi-.
dence Of Mrs. Ingersoll since last June
might be the missing child, and thew
entered into correspondence with tho
Chicago police.
After about two months investiga
ton and correspondence 1t was deter
mined that the child was the missing
Gerald Lapiner. Mrs. Lapiner was NOT
satisfied and arrived here this morn
ing. She was met at the station bv
Deputy Sheriff a. IT. May. who has
been in charge of the case. and was
taken to the Ingersoll place, while Sher-
If ST. John went on ahead to prevent
the escape of the abductors. Access 10
the house was gained through the rear
door. and there, tied in a high chair
half dressed. the boy was found. Roth
Mrs. 1ngersoll and Collins were placed
under arrest Mrs. Ingersoll denies tha
charge OF abduction and could not he
induced to say anything about the
case
The hearing of the prisoners. which
was set for this evening, was postponed
until Thursday morning Sheriff St
John this evening received n disna tch
from Chicago, saying that an officer
was on his way to take charge of the
prisoners. who will probably be remov
ed to that city as soon as reouisition
papers can be secured.

Chicago. March 21.-John r. Shavna
a wealthy furrier and n prominent
Democratic politician, was shot ana
probably fatally wounded this after
noon by Harry II. Hammond a tailor.
The shooting occurred in the cafe of
the Auditorium Annex, where Shayne
was sitting at lunch with Mrs. Ham
mond. the divorced wife Of Hammond.
and two other ladies.
Shayne. who is a widower, had been
in company with Mr3 Hammond n
great deal since her divorce from Ham
mond. and there was talk of an APP
preaching marriage between them.
Mrs. Hammond secured a divorce
from Hammond nearly q year ago on
the ground of habitual drunkenness.
No cause for the shooting is known, un-
less 1t can be attributed to Hammond s
jealousy OF his divorced wife. All three
bullets struck Shayne in the back and
1t was at first the opinion of the doc
tors that his death was inevitable in a
short time. Later. however. they de-
clared that he had a chance If blood

Another feature OF the movement will
be the establishment OF annual insti-'
tutes in every district in the State, so
that every Sunday school worker Will
have an opportunity to receive instruc-
ton in the best methods Of Sunday
school work. Every minister and lay
man in Virginia capable Of instructing
teachers will be elected to contribute,
to this work in the form Of service to
be given ut county or district insti-
tutes. under the direction of the assoc
citation. Expert help will also be Sc
cured from abroad.
The promoters of the movement are
full of enthusiasm over their plans. and
they expect to succeed. The whole
State is to be sown down in litera-
ture. and the aims of the association
are to be kept constantly before the
people. The work will continue until
virginia has been brought to the front

The lack OF such information. it is
