SCHWARTZ KILLS
SELF AS POLICE
SURROUND HIM
Missing Chemist Located in
Oakland, Calif.-Note Left
Wife Says He Killed Man
Found after Explosion
Claims of Self Defense Up
set by Plans He Made Be-
fore Blast

Oakland, Cal, Aug. S-(AP)-
Trapped in an apartment here,
Charles Henry Schwartz, object of
a nationwide search. in connection
with the mysterious murder in the
Pacific Cellulose Co. plant at WAL
nut Creek. committed suicide early
today.
Schwartz, who killed laborer
and attempted to incinerate the
body in plot to collect more than
100000 insurance, shot himself
through the head when policemen
surrounded the apartment. He had
been hiding there since the explos-
ion July 80, when the body was
found.
In note to his wife who Is the
principal beneficiary in the insur-
ance and who steadfastly maintained
the body found in the plant was that
of her husband, Schwartz admit
ted the murder.
In his note, Schwartz said he had
killed in self defense a man who
came to his laboratory and de-
manded money. This assertion was
upset when the police learned that
he had rented the Oakland apart
ment and arranged to go into hid
ing several hours before, the explos-
ion.
Regarding his deed, Schwartz
wrote his wife.
Now ! wish to tell you, my dear
little girl, l do not know the man,
never looked how he was dressed,
never touched him after that. The
only thing did was l tried to burn
him to wipe out and go-go
don't know where"
The end of Schwartz fight came
in casual way. c. w. Hayward,
proprietor of the apartment house,
where the chemist took refuge, at
a dinner party last night men,
toned that one of his dodgers had
got into a scrape and was in hid
ing. This lodger had rented an
apartment on July 80, saying his
car had been wrecked and whiskey
found in it.
Somebody produced a newspaper
photograph of Schwartz. The man
was smooth shaven. Hayward S
lodger wore a moustache. Hayward
placed mis- finger over the mouth in
the picture and studied the coun-
tenance. Then he rushed for a tel
ephone.
Before daybreak Berkely and Oak
land police surrounded Hayward s
apartment house. They demanded
admittance to Schwartz's apart
ment. There was no response but
as they were battering at the door
they heard shots. Breaking down
the door, they found Schwartz ly-
ing on a lounge, a pistol wound in
his forehead. He was still breath
ing, but died on the way to a hospi-
tai.
