Baring, charged by hix wife With trying to kill her with poison and disease germs, was suspended yesterday for the rest of the week, With the district attorney trying to determine whether it was Mrs. Baring or another woman Baring intended to_accompany on a trip to Europe. Baring admitted that he had plan- ned the tour and booked reservations for the round trip, the subpoenaed books of a tourist agency substanti- ating the statement. The district at- torney has endeavored to show that a pgesible cause for the alleged poi- soning was a desire by Baring to free himself from his wife to conduct an affair with another woman. Charles E. Long, Baring’s attorney, yesterday stated that Baring had kept his plans sccret from his wife because he wanted to surprise her. He said Buring had used the same photograph of himself and his wife for the pass- ports as previously had been used. Gets Howard U. Post. Capt. Frank E.
