State 6acterioIogist A. w. Eek
Iund Examining Material
From Stomach

Determined to leave no stone un-

what might have caused the death Of
Norman Broehl. two. apparently .
victim OF some sort Of poisoning,
officials Monday turned over mate
rial taken from the victims stomach
to A. w. Ecklund, state bacteriologist,
for q complete psychological anal
ySis.
Chemists Of the state regulatory
department are also working on an
analysis In an effort to find traces Of
chemical poisoning.
Ecklund stated Tuesday that while
1t was possible for germs to create q
poison that would produce symptoms
similar to those suffered by the
Broehl child, he was inclined to
doubt thatsdeath had been caused by
toxins generated by bacteria.
He stated Tuesday noon that he
had found. and had isolated one form
of bacteria but that he would need
another "a hours l.. which to deter
mine whether or not 1t was a malig-
nant organism.
The Broehl child died In convul-
sions Friday night "a hours after
having been taken Ill. It was
thought that colored Easter candy
eaten by the victim a few hours
earlier might have caused his death.
Not until the findings OF both
chemists and psychologists IN made
public will It be possible to definitely
determine the cause Of death. Elk
perts estimate that 1t will require at
least q week to complete the various
analyses.

Tears Stream Down Face OF
Indian Sage as Followers
KneeI Before Him

Ahmadabad. India. March l0.-F1
After a years absence Mahatma
Gandhi was back in his own home
town Tuesday, a conquering hero.
Thousands turned out at every sta
ton as the train bearing the nation
alist leader sped from New Delhi,
where Gandhi last week won from
Viceroy Lord Irwin concessions which
Indians largely considered a victory
over the British government.
Climaxing the day Of ovations, the
largest crowd Of all met the Mahatma
at the railroad station upon his ar
rival here bent upon paying homage.
The monster crowd surged toward
the tiny 63-year-old sage and for a
time 1t was feared he would be
crushed to death. He was rescued
by nationalist volunteers who bore
him aloft.
Gandhi, who was observing his
weekly day Of silence, made no an
swers to the ovations, but tears rolled
down his cheeks as thousands knelt
and those nearest him scrawled for
ward to kiss the hem Of his homespun
garments.
