WAS HELD CAPTIVE
Legless Editor Prisoner at Guns
Point Eleven Days.
Abandoned by Captors, Passers.
by Thought Him Beggar.

ST. Louis, Jan. 8.-After having
been held captive at the point of a
gun for eleven days in Chicago con-
yicts den, jacques Willard, the legless
editor of a Polish magazine published
in st. Louis, is today at home with
Mrs. Willard and their 4-year-old
daughter.
Willard, released yesterday by the
kidnapers, who were afraid of the out
cry in the newspapers, telegraphed
his wife from Chicago last night that
he was free. At s:15 this morning
he arrived here.
For two hours after he was released
by the kidnapers at Franklin court
and Chestnut street, near the Chicago
lakeside, Willard was unable to sum-
mon help. Passersby to whom he
called looked at the leglesS man,
thought he was beggar, and went
on.
Fearing that he would freeze to
death when the bandits abandoned
him, they left him a blanket, which
was later found at the lakeside.
The man is SO light, the blanket was
SO heavy. that he had to abandon it
and he nearly persisted with cold, as
he crawled along for more than two
blocks before he found aid.
Wizards story was told this morn
ing to Floyd Young. superintendent of
the ST. Louis branch of the Burns In
ternationaI Detective Agency, which
had been called in by Mrs. Willard to
help find her husband.
