Blood Poisoning.

An official investigation into the
death of James Selden Cawdon. sixty
six years old, inmate Of st. Eliza

Visitors to the hospital and per-
sons residing near there were familiar
with Cawdon and his movements
about the grounds Of the institution.
He sold oranges and apples about
the grounds. Money earned from the
sale of the fruit was saved by the
patient and, it is stated, he convert
ed it into silver dollars. He had ap-
proximately rs silver dollars in a
can tied to his belt and Zeraga is
alleged to have knocked him down
and taken the money, which has not
been recovered.
Hospital officials conducted an in
vestigation and reported to the police
that Zeraga lured Cawdon to a Sc
cluded spot in a subway in the hos

clippers Cawdon had for sale. Caw-
don, it is alleged. was knocked down
and his arm hurt. He received no
other injury, SO far as the police were
advised.

ministration Is Free in Problem.

Secretary Wilson Of the Labor De
partment did not deport L. c. A Mar
tens, Russian soviet agent from the
United States, but permitted him to de-
part without execution of the deporta-
ton warrant against him in order to
leave the incoming administration free

encountered by the threat Of criminal
prosecution hanging over the heads of
agents Of the unrecognized Russian

In q memorandum submitted yester-
