Early in the morning he dashed half- clad into the hall from his room in a hotel—shouting and crying. Fir house detectives and a nurse labored with him for three hours before they could subdue him. When police ar- rived, they found him lying on the bathroom floor, gibbering. His room was littered with news- paper clippings revealing the sordid underworld life that led Vivian Gor- don to her death and shamed her daughter, Benita Bischoff, into an untimely grave. Photographs of his sister, a striking auburn-haired wom- an, in a variety of poses and of his niece in her first dancing costume lined the walls. Hospital officials said he was not in @ serious condition but would re- quire constant care and observation to restore his mental state to nor- mal. He weighs well over 200 pounds, and is of a hearty, healthy type. Meanwhile, the hunt for Miss Gor- don’s slayers virtually was at a stand- still. With professional detectives and 18,000 of New York's “finest” cooperating, not a. single clue has been turned up which points toward @ solution of the city’s most engross- ing mystery since the murder of Arnold Rothstein in 1928.

Dr. Larson stated after the autopsy that the organs of the victim were apparently normal. This fact, how- ever, does not mean necessarily that the child was not poisoned, the doc- tor explained. The child was taken ill Thursday night dying in convulsions 24 hours later. It is thought that he may have been poisoned by some bright- colosed easter candy purchased at a local store. The proprietor of thé store imme- diately removed the candy from his counters. He stated that he was vir- tually certain that there was no pol- son contained in the candy, saying that it was distributed by a large candy concern in Chicago which maintained laboratories to test their products.
