MOTHER SEES SON
AFTER 28 YEARS
Home Broken by Husbands
Death Long Ago Is
Reunited.

One Of four children she was forced
10 abandon when she became a widow
at 20, was reunited with Mrs. Hattie
DrlscoH of 80 I street this week. after

The father Of her deceased husband
took her oldest son Vivian into his
care, her own mother adopted the sec
ond son Walter, while family friends
agreed to take the only daughter, Belva
Several years later the mother married
A. F. Driscoll of Lynchburg, and her
two older sons returned to live with
them, but no trace could be found of
the younger children, who had been
adopted by friends. Both families had
moved away from the town.
Nine years from the time of the first
separation Mrs. Driscoll again found her
daughter. The child returned to live
with her, but the effect of losing their
adopted daughter was so severe upon
her foster parents that Mrs. Driscou
agreed to let her return to them.
For 19 years she has not seen her
daughter. The trail of Georges foster
parents was entirely lost to her until a
few weeks ago one of them returned to
Virginia. A mutual friend of both fam
lilies communicated with Belva. who in
turn notified her mother than the son

only alive but planning to return to see
them. At the age of %, George had
never seen his mother since he was old
enough to talk, nor met any of his three
brothers and sisters. The older brother

OPENS Fire Within Half Block
of Where Baker Was Slain
by Gunman.

The mysterious "sniper" who terrified
the Mount Pleasant community with a
series Of shootings nearly two months
ago is believed to have returned to his
old haunts last night
A pistol shot which shattered a win
dow of a car driven by Thomas R.
Dobson, an interior decorator of 1900
Lamont street, marked the reappear-
ance of the gllnman, who is charged in
police reports with the murder OF one
man, the wounding of three other per-
sons and several attempted killings.
Dobson told police of the tenth pre-
cinct he was driving along Mount
Pleasant street near Kenyon when a
shabbily dressed man standing at the
corner suddenly stepped from the curb,
raised a revolver, and fired point blank
at his machine.
The window opposite the drivers seat
was shattered by the bullet.
Dobson turned his machine around
to give chase, but the gunman disap-
peared in the shadows of a row of
homes and could not be found. The
description of the gunman furnished
police closely corresponds to the de-
scription of the sniper.
The attack on Dobson occurred half
a block from where Paul Reidel, So
year-old baker, was murdered by a
gunman answering the sniper's descrip-
ton.

touched meat in 20 years, says his brain
Is clearer day by day, although his
