cordlng to despatch from Boston last
night. Plnkerton detectives, Il is said, al
sa have wired Edward +. Baker, brother
of the victim, that they are prepared TO
arrest the man who administered the poi
son.
This man has been under surveillance
for more than "A week. He Is the man who
Is said TO have a knowledge of the rare
South American poison, curare, which Is
now asserted to have caused the club
mans death Whether this man alone will
be held accountable for the staying OF
Baker Is not yet clear.
Fiom the advices received from Boston
yesterday. which quotes the information
given by Pinkerton. the poison was ad-
ministered between and $3.50 o'clock on
the night of October %. From this periol
until Saturday night Is said to have been
blank to the investigators. They had
worked hard TO account for the move
ments OF Baker during this period, which
represent the time he spent away from

T.. Baker. that they know every move
made by Baker during this time and that
their investigation places them I'm posi-
tion to arrest a certain man the moment
Il Is ordered. In the meantime this suspect
is being closely watched.
Further, the detectives declare. they are
prenared TO produce the mysterious visi-
tor who called on Baker during the time
he was i'm Browns chop house. prior TO
his starting for Bogota with the Hurds.
This visitor. the detectives say, can do

Or. William Boos, OF the Massachusetts
state hospital, is making repeated tests

him on Saturday night
IL Is known that the taste OF curare Is
very bitter. and that N taken I'm any con-
siderable dose IL nauseates the victim
Unlike other posonS OF like Nlrulence
curare does not always cause convulsions,
