Miss Jodie Gaines, who was kidnapped April 28, is escorted by her father, Ben Gaines, and her brother, Ben Gaines left, after she was released last Tuesday. MARYVILLE, Tenn. At a press conference after her release by kidnappers last September, Miss Annette Adams hugs her father, William Adams, and her mother watches. jC 1 05ifMP2QM DTOFO Miss Gaines, described as being in a state of shock, returned home after her escape.

She has been unable to speak with reporters. Annette Adams, 19, Vanderbilt University sophomore and daughter of Maryville, bank president William C. Adams, also suffered emotional exhaustion after her 55-hour captivity. Miss Adams was abducted last Sept. 8 from the school campus and released by her abductors in North Carolina four days later after a $150,000 ransom was paid and collected.

Wayne Edward Garrity was sentenced to 50 years in prison in federal court for the crime, and his girlfriend, Shelby Ann Baker, was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to receiving ransom money. Both Garrity and Miss Baker are currently serving their prison terms. And most kidnappers do end up in prison, according to authorities who say it is a high-risk crime tor the perpetrator as well as the victim. That fact makes it difficult for authorities to understand why anyone would attempt a kidnapping. "It could be that most kidnappers get a high off it," Hal Hardin, U.S.

Attorney in Nashville said. "The kidnapper can be a star for a while."

But in some senses, say law enforcement officials and psychiatrists, the crime is so heinous its effect linger long afterwards. "From my experience in the Gaines case, a kidnapping is one of the most heinous types of crime that can be committed, and its ramifications are far greater than the suffering of the victim and their families," said Mike Cody, the U.S.

Attorney in Memphis. "Kidnapping is a complete affront to our whole civilization." Jodie Gaines, 18, who was kidnapped April 28, broke out of captivity last Monday by smashing her free hand against the iron bed frame to which her other hand was handcuffed. Miss Gaines then stumbled down a narrow, dirt road toward the Big Sandy River after escaping the concrete block cabin where her abductors had left her alone and came upon John Owens, a startled fisherman who helped hide her from the kidnappers she believed would follow her. Shortly afterwards, three Paris, residents, William Andrew Dixon, Harvey Douglas Dixon and David Michael Wilson were arrested and charged with the Gaines kidnapping. Although a $250,000 ransom was paid by Gaines, it was never collected by the kidnappers.

By SUSAN THOMAS Tennessean Statt Writer KIDNAPPING for ransom: It's a crime that has shocked Tennessee twice in eight months. And long after the crime, the victim and the community can still suffer from the crime, according to law enforcement officials and psychiatrists. Two teenage daughters of well-to-do families, Annette Sneed Adams and Jodie Gaines, were wrenched out of their comfortable lives by kidnappers in separate incidents. Miss Adams was handing out nametags at a fraternity rush party on the Vanderbilt campus last September when a man and a woman threw her into a car and drove her to East Tennessee where they demanded $150,000 in ransom from her parent. Nine days ago, Miss Games left the Carroll Lake Golf and Country Club in McKenzie, following a family dinner to visit her cousin.

A quarter of a million dollars was demanded from Ben Gaines, who owns a furniture manufacturing company in McKenzie, for the release of his daughter.

The other man, David Schwartz, has used his time and abilities on behalf of the American consumers, and in doing so, has nettled the big energy companies. He has been rejected for the position he was seeking, director of the Office of Competition, for precisely this reason.

Schwartz said he was informed by Leslie J. Goldman, deputy assistant secretary of DOE for policy and competition, that he would not get the job because the industry perceived him as a strong and outspoken public interest advocate. Goldman told Schwartz that if he got the job it would be "running up the flag" and telling the industry that the administration was ready to do battle. The administration, Goldman explained to Schwartz, wanted to work with the industry. Goldman, who is Energy Secretary James Schlesinger's top adviser on natural gas policy, is embarrassed by Schwartz's account of what he said.

Goldman said he raised the issue so that Schwartz could answer the charge that he couldn't work well with industry. Goldman now says that Schwartz convinced him he would be "even-handed." "But," said Goldman, "Schwartz obviously didn't convince other people the department who had to pass on his The question must be asked: Did the so-called "even-banded" test apply equally to Lynn Coleman?
