LANE COVE DEATHS
No Further Clues
(N.Z. Press
SYDNEY, January 27. The deaths of the New Zealand-born scientist. Dr. Gilbert Bogle, and Mrs Margaret Chandler remained as big a mystery today as when their bodies were discovered on a park river-bank on New Year’s Day. Police reported little progress in their investigations and analysists trying to find out what, if any, poison caused their deaths have met with no success. A new series of tests will begin at Sydney University on Tuesday.
The professor of pharmacology at the university. Professor R. H. Thorp, will supervise the tests. The test are for poisons of a rare type, since scientists have eliminated virtually all the better known poisons No witnesses reported to have been at the scene early on New Year’s Day have come forward. Mrs Chandler was the wife of a colleague of Dr. Bogle, a physicist with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. They both attended a New Year’s Eve party at the home of another C.5.1.R.0. man.
