GIRL FINDS DENTIST
KILLED BY OWN GAS

Heart Attack as He Made
Test of New Tank.

Montclair, y. j.. March 6.-"Laugh-
.ng gas or nitrous oxide, caused the
death OF DR.. Thomas d. Bailey, twenty
eight years old, whose body was found
in his office. 463 Bloomfield Avenue,
this morning by his assistant, Miss
Margaret &acGeorce. The face piece
Of his gas apra-st,.s was fastened to
the dentists head.
Or. BAILEY had been suffering from
heart disease ana this led TO the be-
lief that he lad committed suicide.
County Physician Herbert NJ. Simmons
said, however, he would give the acci-
dent theory the benefit of the doubt.
Friends believe DR.. Bailey met death
in testing a new tank of gas, as was
his custom. They surmise that after
ne had fastened the apparatus on his
face he suffered a heart attack and
became unconscious before he could
turn OF the gas.
DR.. Bailey came here four years ago
from Dividing Greek. lie leaves his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lafayette Bailey,
and three brothers, all of Dividing
