Schwarti, said the fugitive, chemist had come to fhe point of saying Rood bye because he had killed a stranger who had ask ed him for work and attacked him. But the investigators brand It as a falsehood, written in the face of death, the explanation of the oc curence made by the man about to terminate his existence. They be lieve their proof Is complete that forced to attend if she chooses not j Schwarti planned the killing for to do so. No further investigation with reference to the "wife of the suicide is planned, District-Attorney A. II. Tinning and Sherirf K. It. Vea! of Contra Costa county asserted today. She will not be questioned as to knowledge of her months to defraud the insurance companies out of more than 1100, Ooo which he carried In favor of Mrs. Schwarti and the Cellulose company, in which she was a heavy stockholder. Hfs note, the police believe, was a dying effort to husbands crime or whether she erase the image of himself knew ne was alive arrr she had premeditated murderer In claimed identification of the mur der victim as the chemist.

Ho has saved the state the work of trying, convicting and hanging him for one of the most diabolical murders in the hlBtory of California." Tinning indicated (hut he had accepted definitely the Identifica tion of the murder victim as Bar he, itinerant missionary. Time for tli Inquest on Harbos body had not been set today. Schwartz bought a railroad tick et to liars tow, Cal., and a'so rent ed the apartment in which he fin ally was found, on the day of the explosion which started the inves tigation as to the victim's identity. During the days while he was in hiding nt the enactment he plaved cards several times In the evening with the fsmily of C. W.

The double life led bv tho chem ist for three years became evident when it was found that h" had ben known to the Ha v ward and a number of others as Harold War ren for that length of time. He posed an a structural engineer and was known to this circle of friends as a thorough gentleman, a great lover of music and a good story tel'nr. Kdward 8.

With Charles Henry Schwartz dead by his own hand and his "too perfect" crime plot In complete collapse, police today worked to establish le gal proof of the identity of the In surance hoax victim as O. W. Rarbe, wandering lay minister the gospel. Having, the postive assertions of as a the minds of his wife and children, when his suicide should reveal his Plot to fake his own death In the Walnut Creek fire. Fate Always Upset His Plana Through his scheming, fate worked against the Berkeley chem ist, who was vice-president and gen eral manager of the Cellulose com pany. The explosion and fire which was to have wiped out evi dence of the slaying of the man lured to the plant under promise of employment failed to accompltsh itB purpose, investigators learned, because a night watchman, Schwartz had sent upon an errand, returned unexpectedly and extin guished the blaze. His plan to escape the same night failed when he missed, a train on which he had a reservation for Barstow, Cali fornia. His hiding place In Oakland was revealed in a casual way. an other stroke of fate. The apart- linen t house proprietor, attending a dinner party Saturday night, be came suspicious of his tenant when Bhown a newspaper photo graph of the murder fugitive. Aft er reflection, the dinner guest be came certain as to the Identity of bis new tenant and early next morning he notified the police. The house was quickly surrounded and the suicide followed. Wife Faints at Suicide News Mrs. Schwartz, who had consis tently maintained that the char red body found In the partially wrecked laboratory was that of her husband, fainted when Informed that he had taken hfs own life. Police have been unable to deter mine whether she had knowledge that he hadn't perished m the fire as at first seemed to be indicated. A letter written to Mrs. Schwarti read: "Last Monday or Tuesday, I was In the lab. He came straight In. We talked to each other for a little while, when suddenly the man told me that If I did not give him work, I had to give him money. He at tacked me. I gave him a blow on the head. He fell, I gave him an other. He was dead. I never thought for a moment to let go. but I could not make up my mind to go to Bell (presumably Schwartz' attorney) and tell him. I decided to run attay, but made a dirty job of it. I put the man in the closet, got ready. Can you Imagine how I felt all the time, feeling I have to lose you and the dear boys.
