POISONING OF CHEMIST
POLICE COMMISSIONER SUSPECTED.
[ Australian Press Ahsr. 1 NEW YORK, Dec. 28. Under special orders from Governor Whalen, the new police Commissioner James Baker is being sought on suspicion of killing Henry Gaw, a chemist in the Guggenheim Labaratory, and trussing up two truck drivers in a very extraordinary manner.
Two beakers containing coffee were discovered on a laboratory table. Both contained cyanide of potassium. Ono beaker was full and the other half emptied. Gaw was dead with cyanide burns in his mouth and throat.
Baker, who is half English and half Mexican, constantly used strongly scented cold cream which was smeared round Gaw’s face.
