Mauricio Hochschild, Jewish industrialist who disappeared seventeen days ago, returned to his home in Bolivia last night together with Adolph Blum, his manager who has also disappeared. Both were unshaven and hungry, and refused to speak on their experiences except to state that they had been confined all the time in a small room and forced to sleep on the floor.
