RACE PLUNGER'S
DEATH A PUZZLE

SAN FRANCISCO. April 16.-My-
stery surrounding the death of Sam
uel Gilmore, once famous racetrack
plunger, is puzzling the police de-
partment, and an element of deepest
secrecy has surrounded the opera
tions of detectives who have been
working on the case for several days
in the hope Of clearing up what is
believed to have been a deliberately
planned murder. Already two men
are under police surveillance on sus-
picion OF having been implicated Ia
the killing of Gilmore for his money,
but not until yesterday did the first
details of the suspected tragedy leak
out.
Gilmore came to his death last
Tuesday morning, apparently from
natural causes. After his death, how
ever, it became known that he hai
won $1,000 at Emeryville on Monday
afternoon and then an investigation,
which his relatives insisted upon,
was Immediately begun.
Gilmore's stomach is now at the
laboratory OF City Chemist Frank
Green being analysed. 1t is believed
that he was given poison in glass
of liquor and after the poison ha !
taken effect was robbed. Detectiy y
Reagan and O'Connell of the polic1
department are tracing Gilmore;
movements from the time he left the
Emeryville racetrack Monday after
noon until his unconscious body was
picked up by the central emergency
hospital ambulance at Market and
Brady streets at s O'Clock TUESDAY
