Alexander Berg, wealthy St. Louis, Mo., fur dealer, at his home on Nov. 11, 1931, where he returned after being kidnapped by men who he said were “amateurs.” Berg’s release was affected by a ruse wherein the kidnappers were promised a large money reward. He was not harmed but said that his abductors had not allowed him to see their faces. (AP Photo)
