ther to eliminate politics from a.

tion commissioner for a referendum.
The present law provides that the
election board in a referendum would

David 1. Puskin, also from Canton,
in the hall of the pharmacy building
the day before his death.
''Puskin asked me to run into the
pharmacy and get him some qui-
nine,' Fish said. Il told himI I
would, but / saw. there was such q
crowd in there getting medicine that
nobody would wait on me SO 1 just
stepped behind the counter and
took three or four capsules out of
. bottle labeled 'quinine.' =
These, it developed early in the
investigation, contained larges doses
af strychnine.
Thus far the questioning of Fish
had cast no light on how the strych-
nine capsules got into the quinine
bottle.
Believing that he still may be
holding back other information.
Prosecutor Chester ordered him
locked up In the city, prison for the
night.
