CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, November
19-An 18-year-old girl who likes
children was charged with kidnapping
little Jackie Gibbons today, while the
child went home to his parents in
Lexington, KY.
Jackie, years old, accompanied the
girl from his home last Thursday, and
a newspaper story of his disappear
ance led to his discovery and return.
The girl was registered at the police
station as Bernice Lou GivenS. She
gave a Cincinnati address.
Sergt. G. w. Maupin, expressing
doubt that the case was one of kidnap-
ing, said: IT believe she was just
kind of a fanatic about kids, and she
took liking to this little boy and
let him go along with her"
Liked Girls Candy.
It was a bag of candy that first at
tracted the child to her, the girl told
Sergt. Maupin, and it was his tears,
when she tried to leave him, that in
duced her to take him with her.
She was walking past Jackie's home
in Lexington, Maupin said she told
him, when the child asked:
whats in that sack?"
"I said candy" Sergt. Maupin
quoted her as saying, land gave him
a piece and he went along with me. -
Says She Tried to Leave Him.
She said she told the boy to "go
L. IL tt.in 70 hi hiIf
at that he began to cry.
II decided to take him along with
me-" the sergeant quoted her as say
ing, "and if they caught me, would
tell them the whole thing"
Lawrence Harvey, who allowed the
two to stay at his modest home over
Saturday night, heard from the boy
Sunday morning that his name was
Jackie Gibbons, and a short time later
read newspaper story that a child
Of that name was missing. He re-
ported to police.

GLAD TO GET HOME.
Jackie Races to Mothers Arms at
Station Platform.


LEXINGTON, KY, November 19
(P.-Kidnaped 4-year-old Jackie Glib
bons was restored to his parents here
to day by Detective Sergt. Claude
Embry, who brought him from Chat
tanooga, Tenn, where he had been
taken by Bernice Lou Givens, 49,
year-old hitch-hiker.
Hi, daddy, did you come down
to meet me?" shouted Jackie as he
ran down the station platform to-
ward his father.
MY boy, my boy" his mother al
most sobbed as she came up. Jackie
had gotten off the length of the train
away from his parents
Mrs. Gibbons held her son tightly
in her arms.
Refused TO Go to Bed.
Sergt. Embry and the boy had a
berth from Chattanooga. Embry
said Jackie was unilling for while
to go to bed last night. Before dawn
he was up, asking questions.
How long will it be before we get
to Lexing?" he said again and again.
Il want to see my mother and
daddy"
What was the name of the girl
you were with?" his 1ather asked
when he was safely at home again.
"Bernice Givens," Jackie answered.
WAS she nice to you?"
"Oh, yes. She was awful nice"
Did she spank you?" Mrs. Gibbons
took up the questioning.

Did she tell you stories?"

"And did you get lot of rides?"
Lots of rides"

'How did you get these rides?"
Jackie's father broke in
Jackie got up, walked out into the
middle of the floor, struck pose and
crooked his arm. His thumb pointed
prominently. No old veteran hitch
hiker could have done better
Suddenly the returned adventurer
got up and began to undress. Asked
where he learned this, he said airly:
"Oh she taught me-"
His trousers had Upper leggings.

strating. "And that works fine"
Embry said he had never seen boy
so active or alert for his age. He
described how Jackie escaped from
officers IN the Chattanooga Railway
Station. He stayed free 10 minutes,
lodging around the benches and over
cabbage
After he was found in Chattanooga
he spent the afternoon happily riding
a tricycle.. He had caught a slight
cold.
Extradition Waived.
The Givens girl has waived extra
dition, Embry said. She will be
brought back to Lexington immedi-
ately. probably today. The Gibbons
family, the father declared, is not
bitter and will be inclined to favor
leniency. Yesterday Gibbons said he
was reluctant to prosecute, but would
do so If officials asked him to.
The State kidnapping law under
which the girl is accused imposes
from one to three years in prison.
Police Judge Clyde P. Burton has
set preliminary hearing for Tuesday
He said today that he will either hold
the girl to the grand jury, which
meets in January, or order a sanity
hearing.

Dear, pampered Miriam who

lasting happiness in companion

finds instead that life and love
are very real and tragic items
which cannot be tossed off with
a shake of the head.
While in the Semi-decision
stage she meets a young couple
from the lower strata of society,
in desperate trouble, lends her as.

fronted with the police on

Ruth Chatterton,

Ruth Chatterton, after max

turns in a sterling performance

That is to say, Ruth acts once

appeared she had forgotten the
art. But it was only mislaid.
journal of a Crime" is tn e
last production her Warner Bros
contract stipulates. It's the best
Of the lot, by far.
She plays Francoise, wife Of
a Partisan theatrical producer.
Odette, his star, is weaving him
away from home. Determined
that her life shall not be wrecked,
Francoise kills the girl. Coin
cidentally, a bank robber is dis
covered, accused Of the crime.
Her husband realizes her guilt.
Instead of betraying her to the
police, he determines to let her
own conscience and remorse be
the undoing. And they are. Day
after day, Francoise becomes more
morbid, more penitent. About to
confess, an accident causes her to
lose her memory. The fadeout
shows husband teaching her her
past life, with the inference that
the homicidial sequence will be
omitted.
Fine Characterization
It's not pretty picture that
Ruth Chatterton paints. A woman
virtually decaying couldn't be.
But it is a natural, true and
tragic figure. The Francoise of
the film has forgotten the silly
stilted accent, and the perennial
ingenue makeup. Let's hope she
stays that way!
Adolphe Menjou does a Tro-
JAMS work in the role of the
husband. His is not a sympa-

through the very sincerity of his
acting, registers strongly. Claire
