A telephone call was sent to the Elmer gency hospital and pr. Hale respond ed with the auto ambulance. He found the man was dead.
 Taliaferro was 27 years old and was unmarried. He had no relatives in this country. He had complained to fellow Iodgers that he felt sick all the time and was unable to work. Dr. Hale said the gas apparently did not kill him but that the large amount of carbolic acid which was taken did the work.
