for the use of searchers. Every
 road was guarded.
 Boettcher said he thought he
 had been held in Wyoming.
 He was set free last night in
 suburban Denver by two men who
 seized him from the side of his
 young wife the night of February
 12, drove all night and all day
 and then placed him in a musty
 cellar blindfolded with adhesive
 tape.
 His release started an unparal-
 leled search, marked by gunfire.
 Hundreds of police and deputies
 guarded all roads of northern
 Colorado, challenging cars, and
 shooting at those that failed to halt.
 Except for a swollen face as q result of being blindfolded, Boettcher was not hurt. When the kidnapers freed him, he first tele- phoned members of his family, then to police. Two friends picked him up in their car, apparently by encouragement.
 Taken first to the home of Sid- ney Sinsheimer, president of the American Beet Sugar company, Boettcher told his story to his father, Chief of Police A. T. Clark, and a few friends.
 "The abductors," he said, blind folded me within half a block after we left my home on the night of the Kidnapping.
 "'Keep your mouth shut and we
 won't hurt you they told me. We drove all night and all the next day. I do not know what direc-
 tion we took and I cannot tell
 whether we went into the noun | tains or over flat country.
 'It was late in the evening when we arrived at a house. I was placed in a room, which I think | was in a basement, because the
 air and floor were damp and there
 was a musty smell.
 "On the trip we had only sand | wiches to eat, which the men had | brought along. When they stopped | for gasoline. one would stay with
 me in the weeds or hedges some distance away and the other
 would take the car to the filling station.
 "The men spoke good English and were agreeable enough. They
 brought my meals to me, knocking
 on the door with the butt of a re- l volver which was the signal for me
 to replacemyblindfol 1T never was allowed to get a
 glimpse of the men. When

 home, the exact place from which

A number of other Waterburians are expected to leave here tomor- row evening. They wil proceed to New Haven to board the special excursion train which the New Ha- ven road is running.
 From all indications Waterbury will have a representation of near ly fifty in the various parties ar ranged.

own way from boyhood. He was graduated from the University of Wisconsin law school in 1884 and went to Montana practice in 1890. 1890.
 After some dabbling in politics, he ran for congress in 1906 and was defeated. He tried for the senate in 1910, but was defeated again. Undaunted, he ran again, was elected in 1913 and had serv- ed continuously since then.
 When the oil scandals broke in 1882, Walsh went into the inves- tigation with 8 persistence that was in large measure responsible for the prosecutions that followed. He pursued Edward B. Mclean, the publisher, to Palm Beach and forced him to admit that he had never made loan of $100,000 to Albert E. Fall--a loan by which the then secretary of interior had attempted to explain his sudden prosperity.
 Walsh was a delegate at every democratic convention since 1908 and had important roles in recent ones. He was chairman of long deadlocked Madison Square Garden convention in 1924 and rejected a move to give him the vice-presi. dential nomination. He was also chairman of the Chicago conven- ton last summer which nominated MT Roosevelt.

PILES
Co Quick-No Cutting-NO Salves

If YOU think q surgical operation is the only way to get rid of itch ing, bleeding or protruding Piles, it's because you haven't heard of the harmless internal medicine dis covered by a prominent western
 physician.
 Aftr years of study, Dr J. s.
 Leonhardt found the cause of Piles to be internal-congesti of blood
 in the lower bowel-the hemor- rhoidal veins fabby; the bowel walls weak; the parts almost dead. . Right away the doctor set to work . to find a real internal remedy. He : succeeded, and after prescribing 1t : for over 1000 patients, with success { in over 900 cases he named his prescription HEM4ROID. . Tn doctor wants every Pile suf- ? ferer to benefit by his discovery, ! and so there will be no doubling or l. delay. Apothecaries Hal Co and s druggists everywhere are author . ized to sell HEM-ROLD with guar 2 antee of money-back if its does 1 not end Piles in any form.
 So why waste time on external . treatments or think of an operation $ when HEM-ROID tablets are guar
 anteed.

brief comment on future plans, which as yet were not definite.
 Senator Walsh had been taking medicine under direction of Dr Merryday, Daytona Beach, Fla, as prescribed there yesterday.
 Dr Pittman said he and Miss Boswell probably would accompany Mrs Walsh to the capital.
 At Mrs Walsh's request, the body was attired in the late senator's wedding clothes. It was to lie in state from II a. m., until time for departure by train at 2 D. m. for Washington. Pending such time, Mrs Walsh, through attendants, re- quested she be not disturbed.
 Capt Guger. son-inlaw of the late senator, now stationed at the U. S. Navy Base, Hampton Roads, Va, advised Mrs Walsh he would meet her there and accompany her to Washington, where final funeral arrangements will be made. The body should arrive in Washington at 10 o'clock tonight.

he was kidnapped. He entered se- cretly, escaping photographers. A joyful family reunion fol- lowed. Boettcher embraced his wife, an expectant mother, who had been spared the suspense of waiting while he told his story by being kept ignorant of the fact that he had been released. After a hot bath and a sedative, Boettcher went to bed, promising to elaborate on his story when he aWoke. Telephones were discon- nected and police cleared crowds from the streets outside. Meantime. Adams county dep- uties fought and lost a gun battle with two men in a small black sedan of the same description as the car In which Boettcher was kidnapped. Fifteen shots were fired at the machine on the Irondale road four miles south of Bright ! on. Although it was believed some struck their speeding target, the men escaped.
 Officers of dozen other north- ern Colorado towns and Cheyenne, Wyo, were pressed into service. Denver detectives took machine guns to the center of the search, near Eaton.
 Claude K. Boettcher, father of the victim, said he would spend all his vast fortune to capture the ab- ductors. He confirmed indirectly, and other members of the family, directly, that the $60,O00 ransom was paid. Some thought Dr Eos ter had been the emissary who de- livered it. The physicians two hour absence from his home im- mediately before Boettcher was re- lease was unexplained.
 | Father Relentless | Denver, Colo, March 2-UP)- Claude K. Boettcher, wealthy father of Charles Boettcher, IT leader of Denver's smart social set said to-day the story of the kid naping of his son really just start ed with the safe return of the young man to his home last night The elder Boettcher, forcefuI man with reputation among business associates and friends fol relentlessness ha but one objective from thi day on-the apprehension and conviction of the abductors o1 his son.
 "The most vital end has been accomplished" said Boettcher that is the safe return of Charlie
 'I have lived up to every prom ise I made in statements to the press-the score is even-the slate is wiped clean-from to-day on ii is new story"
 Thus. Claude Boettcher acknowl. edged indirectly that he had paid ransom-probably the full $60,0ot demanded by the kidnapers, whicl even in an era of shrinking values is not a great deal to 8 man witt the resources of Claude Boettcher
 He made it clear he would throw every resource at his command into the tracking down of the mer who held his son captive for 1t days.
 Reliable sources indicated the contact with the kidnapers was made at Pate, Colo.
 The money was said to have been thrown off a culvert located between two railroad tracks, bJ Dr. Foster, who was permitted { glimpse of Boettcher.
 Detectives arrested Ralph Perry 24, and John Mitchell, 26, Denver laborers, who were parked neal spot where the contact purportedls was made. The men said they were hunting rabbits.
