OKLAHOMA MAKES
 PARALYSIS INQUIRY
DiscoYerer Of ISopropyl Alcohol
 Denies Product at Fault

Oklahoma City, March 25 P)- Tests seeking to ascertain if alcohol manufactured from petroleum might be responsible for a paralysis like malady suffered by scores of per sons here were being made by state officials today, in the face of a declaration by the originator of the process for extraction of the alcohol that the investigation would be in vain.
 James Folen, assistant state health commissioner, announced yesterday that tests had been ordered in the belief that petroleum alcohol might of Jamaica ginger. Many persons suffering with the paralysis have admitted drinking Jamaica ginger.
 Dr. Robert lsham, Okmulgce, Okla, chemist, credited with dis covery of the process for making petroleum, or iso-propyl, alcohol, said it could be drunk, but would not cause intoXication or paralysis.
 1so-propyl alcohol, Dr. lsham said, is not potable in the sense that grain alcohol is, but can be taken into the human system without harm.
 "We made extensive tests to de- termine this fact before putting the product on the market" Dr. lsham said, "and there arc any number of scientific papers on the subject that will bear out the statement

 X fine of $5 and costs was imposed by Judge Sake in the case of Herbert J. Kabsch. 20, of Wilbert street, Plantsville, who pleaded guilty to the charge of driving an automobile with improper markers. Officer David Doty testified that kabisch drove from 'Burritt street into West Main street yesterday afternoon without stopping and he stopped him and mo- ticed that the markers were fastened onto the car with wire. Questioning him about it he learned that Kabisch had failed to make the proper trans fer when he came into possession of the car, merely changing them from one machine to another.
 Asked if he cared 10 say anything about it, Kabisch replied simply that it would not happen again. Judge Sake warned him that he had no right to drive with improper mark CTS

Death Perfectly Timed

Cleveland, March 25 LP)-Dr. Er- hest Watzl, Cleveland chemist timed his death in Vienna as dramatically as he did his disappearance in Penn sylvania.
 The $60000 life insurance policies which he kept paid up while eluding a four-months search would have ex- pired a few hours after his death. His friends here believed that, driven to desperation by financial difficult ties which had attended his turbulent career, he timed his suicide so that his widow and the persons who fi- nanced his last trip would not suffer.
 James l.. McGranahan, whose pretty 20-year-old wife, Mary disap- peared shortly after the chemist was awaiting word whether she was the girl who died with Dr. Watzl. Me Granahan said his wife once told him that she and Dr. Watzl once went on a motor trip planning suicide, but that the inventor "backed out"
 Four Suits Against Watzi
 The disappearance of Dr. Watzl, who was in his late sos, left behind him a mystery that for a time flooded Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York police with murder and kid naping theories of all sorts, revealed that he had kept studio here under an assumed name and prompted the filing of four suits for divorce and

Unusual Precautions Planned to
 Guard COnViCtS

Hartford. March c5 (UP)-Three Connecticut officers, laden with handcuffs and ankle arms, were en route to Jacksonville, Fla, today 10 bring back three conyicts who es- caped from Wethersfeld states prison last January.
 The officers were County Detective Edward J. Hickey, Deputy Sheriff Harry F. Comstock and Prison Pa role Officer George H. Bradley.
 Hickey carried eXtradition papers for the return of Roland Lalonc, Watson Moulthrope and Leo Lan- dry. Although Lalone and Moul- thrope murdered a Jacksonville de- tective Florida authorities agreed 10 surrender them to Connecticut.

Disappeared Last November

Missing since November [, 1929, but for a few strange circum stances Dr. Watzl would have been given np for dead. At that time he left Cleveland in his car for Philadel- phia. Within few hours of his de parture the car was found burned near Pottstown, Pa.
 Doubts that Dr. Watzl had died in the crash were emphasized when his insurance premiums were kept paid up from some mysterious source
 One report was that he went to South America to aid in mining and refining zirconium, a comparatively rare metal useful in alloys, and had wished to free himself from asso- citations of his old life during his work there. There were other re- ports linking foreign metal manu- lecturers with his disappearance, to Austria, his native country. but nothing could ever be verified.
 Meanwhile Mrs. Mary McGrana- han, a former secretary of the chemist, vanished. Her husband, James McGranahan, sued for di- vorce and filed 8 $5O,O0O alienation of affections suit against Watzl. Mrs. McGranahan was of Hungarian par entage, small in stature, but pretty and with a slightly retrousse nose.
 Sprayed Liquid Fire in War
 Dr. Watzl first went to Cleveland in 1912 in connection with some chemical work, but with the out break of war returned to Austria, where he became captain of liquid fire division on the Italian front. His chemical work was said to have won him considerable recognition from the Austrian authorities. His wife, whom he married in Cleveland, re- mained with him in Austria during the war.
 He returned to Cleveland four years ago, forming the Watzl En- gineering company, promoting an activated carbon process for puri- flying water. He was taken into the employ of tho Cleveland water de- partn1ent to carry out his water ex- perimcnts.
 He was said 10 have a vast Knowledge of chemistry and metal, lurgy. He was about 40 years old His widow, Mrs. Marie Watzl, and two children, Herta and Jane, live in Cleveland.

Dr. Ernest Watzl of CIeve- land and Woman Con- panion Found Dead - Deed Preceded Insur- ance Expiration.

Vienna, March 25 R>- The strange career of Dr. Ernest Watzl, monocled Cleveland chemist and in ventor, was picced together by po- lice of two continents today, while the inventors body awaited claim ants at morgue here.
 The body was found yesterday in q dowdy room of a hotel with a bull let wound through the heart In the same room, and believed to have been shot by Watzl before he ended his own life, was the body of n woman known here as Josefa kropej but thought possibly to be Mrs Mary McGranahan of Cleveland. The woman was said to have joined Watzl in Europe and to have come to Vienna with him.
 Ian Out of Money
 Among the effects of the two, who were believed to have been dead since before midnight Sunday, when Watzls insurance policies would have expired, were letters to various people i'll different countries, one of them to Mrs. Watzl in Cleveland. Police said they believed financial difficulties caused the suicide.
 There was no money whatsoever about the two bodies and in their effects. They had stylish luggage, however, and gave the impression of well being. They arrived here Thursday and spent their days until Sunday. rambling about the city.
 Had Double Passports
 There were two sets of passports between them, one in the name of Johann Flassak, which appeared to age 25, who according to the certii- cate was married last December. The man, identified by police as Watzl, used the woman's passport in regis tering at the hotel where they died.
 The suggestion was offered here, in apparent contradiction of the theory that the girl was Mrs. Mary McGranahan of Cleveland, that she married i'll Europe before visiting America, where she tried unsuccess- fully to sell certain chemical patents. In such q case it was held probable that Watzl met her in the United States about four months ago.
 The numerous letters left in the room were said by police to have incomplete Cleveland and continen- tai addresses on them. The contents were said to be confused.
