Whalen, the new Police Commissioner, James Baker is being sought on suspicion of killing Henry Gaw, chemist, in the Guggenhim laboratory, and trussing up two truck drivers in a very extraordinary manner. Two beakers containing coffee were discovered on the laboratory table. Both contained cyanide of potassium. One beaker was full and the other half emptied. Gaw was dead with cyanide burns in the mouth and throat. Baker, who is half English and half Mexican, constantly used strongly-scented cold cream, which was smeared round Gaw’s face.
