Chemist Says
PROBERS TRACING CLUE
It would be Impossible for a person persen

tnat might be eaten without emi5lns
death, according te Pr. Charles II. La
Wall, chemist, vhe discussed poisoning
today. ,
Dr. La Wall mnde the nnnlwes of
the specimens In the cae of AV. W. .
Sterrett of Deven, who died after eat

La Wall pointed out, would prevent any

danger point might He for each itull- (
vldual. PhyMelnns themselves, he cc-
plained, in administering email doses
had te study the tolerance of the patient
carefullv before risking this sort of
medication.
There have been, however. Pr, La
Wnll Bald, in fnreien countries such as
India, persons known as arsenic enters.
By beginning with very Mnnll iWs of
the poli-en, natives have been nb'e grid
ually te incrcnse the doe until an Im
munity has been estnblMied and the
taking of arsenic into the .tem would
no longer cause death.

"It is practically tasteless, Dr.
La Wnll explained, "but any light
taste it might hiue would be com
pletely dlsgniecd with Higar. as in the
cake sent te the Sterretts."
When asked if it would he jwiMe
for the polen te be segregated in
a certain vide of the cake Pr. I.i
Wall answered that this peuM only he
done if n marble cake had been used;
that is, two different batten. Vie
poison cake that i my-tifytng post pest
office and county authorities was of the
ort known us devil's feed.
The arsenic, however, could have
been segregated in n certain part of

In the Sterrett case, however, the poi
