unable TO SOLVE
ISAACSON DEATH
Police Fail to Clear Mystery.
May Be Officially Called
Suicide"

Although not one of the mysteries
surrounding the poisoning of Barnett
Isaacson has been solved by the
police, his death will probably have
to go down on the official records as
Suicide"
From the time he took the fatal
draught at o'clock Tuesday morn
ing in his home, $50 Bergen street,
until the time he died in Beth Israel
Hospital, the afternoon of the next
day, Isaacson never SO much as hint
ed at suicide. He said that he had
noticed green sediment in the cup
out of which he always took a drink
upon arising.
The cup from which he drank the
paris green has disappeared. The ex-
PLANTATION given by 13-year-old Alex
ander Isaacson that he had knocked
a cup down while putting on his coat
to go to school and that he picked
up every piece and carried them all
down to the ash barrel was disproved
by the fact that the pieces could not
be found, although there had been
no intervening collection of ashes.
The police have not found out
where the poison was bought, who
purchased it, what it was obtained
for or who destroyed the container.
Plainclothesman Cort, of the Fourth
precinct, said today that he believed
it was a case of suicide, because
Isaacson had not been successful in
business. He had deposited 5000 in
his bank on January % and $500 on
February 1. Later he placed this
money in savings banks where Mrs.
Isaacson could easily withdraw it
whenever she needed to. Further
more, so Cort asserted, Isaaeson in
tended to go TO San Diego, Cal, send
ing for his wife and son after he be-
came established there.
Aside from Mrs. Isaacson's state
ments and those of Alexander, there
has been nothing to show whether it
was Mrs. Isaacson who suggested the
changing of the banks and the Cali
fornia trips or her husband.
None of Isaacson's friends thought
he was Respondent. and the amount
of money he had in the bank indi-
Gates that he had no very pressing
need to worry about his business
Captain Vogel, however,
thinks that Isaacson was suffering
from melancholy.

OLDEST DRUG FIRM
IN STATE TO MOVE
c. B. Smith & Co. Leave Broad
Street for Entire Building
on Green Street.

The real estate Office of Robert B.
stoutenburgh. 9 Clinton street, have
leased for the Peters Harness and
Saddlery Company. of Green street,
the entire four-story building TO the
c. B. Smith & Co, wholesale drug
gists. The Peters concern, 1t IS
understood. will move TO the Hobbs
building, on the corner of Mulberry
and Oliver streets.
Il is interesting to state that the
c. b. Smith & Co. was established
In 1895. and they have the undis-
puted claim of being the oldest drug
store in the state of New Jersey.
They were first located at SS1 Broad
street. In 1872 they moved to Sol
Broad street. In 1891 they incor-
porated under the c. B. Smith & Co,
and since then they have occupied
the location at S61-S65 Broad street,
running back It's feet to Treat place.

street, with a depth of 175 feet Is
drawing plans for new three-story
building to be erected on this site.
The cost will be about S5O,OOO. AT
rangements have already been made
to lease the rear of the new bullolhg

entrance on Broad street. 1t is also
understood that two stores, in addl-
ton to a large nall room on the sec
ond floor. and a large room on the
third floor, will comprise the rest OF
the building.
Real estate men Interested IN Sou'i
Broad street property are arguing
that they will come into their own
from the fact that under the new
terminal planned. to be located IN
park place, the trolley cars will turn
down Lafayette street to Mulberry
street and then into the new terminal.
This fact will make getting-on
point for shoppers at Lafayette ana
Broad streets and win relieve a great
amount of congestion at the Four
Corners.
