Father Duped in Abduction Plot to Retrieve Daughter
A Chicago mother, Mrs. Baerman now Mrs. Rees, sought to reclaim her 8 year old daughter Katherine from Whitpickerbaker Hall Episcopal School in Covington Ky and later Indianapolis through a staged ruse. A friend Scheible and a stenographer lured Baerman to a meeting, leading to a hoax plan to locate the child. The scheme succeeded with the child returned to the mother aboard a train to Chicago. The school and local authorities offered no legal action due to jurisdiction limits. The father Baerman vowed to resume efforts to regain custody as he plans to travel to Chicago to pursue legal remedies.
