SEATTLE, Wash. June 21.-The re-
turn Of little Prewitt Baker to the
arms Of his mother is now believed by
those who have closely followed the re-
cent developments in the kidnapping

days.
Implicit confidence in the course pur-
sued seems to have been inspired in

Relatives of the missing child and the
ultimate friends of the family seem
satisfied that the right thing has been
done at the right time, and while the
delay has been one of terrible anxiety,
their faith in the prospect of a happy
outcome has been fixed and absolute
Jack King and his associates in
crime have been inmates of the city
jail since last Monday, when they were
captured at Interplay by Chief Delaney
and Detectives Hubbard, Barbee and
Freeman. To accomplish this capture
has been the highest object of these
officer since within a few days after
the kidnapping of Prewitt Baker on May

the detectives have been confident that
this capture must lead to the recov-
cry of the stolen baby: that confidence

chief Delaney is giving out no in

Investigation so far as that informa =

from the Baker case the chief admits
that King has talked freely of other
crimes ana thoroughly understands
that he IS in serious danger of a SEN
