A poignant life-size statue of a wounded American Indian, long the subject of a tug of war between a Virginia museum named for Walter P. Chrysler and a Boston organization founded by Paul Revere, will be sent back to Boston in the wake of an investigation by the F.B.I., the Boston group said Wednesday. Known simply as 'The Wounded Indian,' the statue was sculpted from a single block of white Vermont marble by Peter Stephenson, who completed the work in 1850. It is described by the group reclaiming it, the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association, as 'among the most beautiful and affecting works of American neoclassical sculpture.
