Handyman taken into police custody
over mercury poisoned mayonnaise
SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) - A
29-year-old man who turned in a
jar of mayonnaise contaminated
with mercury probably put the
substance in it himself and also
injected it into oranges in an
other community, police said
Tuesday
Kenneth Oliver Mason, a
part-time handyman from Red
wood City, was taken into cus
tody Monday night and commit
ted to Peninsula Hospital for a
psychiatric examination, Lt
James Rego said
"Based on circumstantial
evidence, statements by Mason
and certain physical evidence,
police believe that the man who
turned in the mayonnaise was
the person who contaminated it
in the first place," Rego said
Mason also is believed to
have injected the type of mer
cury found in thermometers into
oranges at a Millbrae grocery
store, according to Rego.
Police declined to speculate
on a motive
No charges have been filed in
the case, and evidence was be
ing turned over to the San Ma
teo County district attorney's
office, Rego said
Mason was questioned for
several hours Monday after
bringing the jar of Best Foods
mayonnaise to police in this San
Francisco Peninsula communi
ty He told police he bought the
jar Jan 6 in a Lucky's market
and then noticed silvery swirls
and nodules
Tests revealed the jar con
tained 23.23 grams of mercury,
Rego said
On Sunday, police in neigh
boring Millbrae began inves
tigating mercury contamination
when a man turned in a peeled
orange containing a silvery
substance.
Tests confirmed the presence
of .62 grams of mercury in the
orange, which had been pur
chased at a Millbrae Safeway
market Jan. 12 Police declined
to release the purchaser's
name

The indictment said Virginia
Galluzzo, the maiden name Foat
then used, clubbed M'ttyo to
death with a tire iron after luring
him from the French Quarter bar
to a robbery in 1965.
The indictment came after the
Jefferson Parish grand jury
heard testimony by detectives
handling the case and by an
ex-husband to Foat, Nevada
state prisoner John Sidote.
The district attorney had
rejected a defense request
Tuesday that a preliminary
hearing be held for Foat before
the grand jury considered the
case
Foat, 41, is being held on a
fugitive warrant in California.
Meanwhile, a colleague of
Foat's in Los Angeles said the
NOW leader's arrest may have
been triggered by a checking of
her Louisiana background in
anticipation of a City Hall ap
pointment.
Foat was arrested last Tues
day at suburban Burbank air
port on the fugitive warrant She
is being held without bail at

dipped to within 122 miles of
Earth's surface at 8:17 a m PST

That was about four miles
lower than the low point
recorded at 11 p m PST Mon
day, after the reactor section
had dropped nearly two miles in
the previous 24 -hour period
The Pentagon estimates that
the remains of Soviet Cosmos
1402 will hit Earth late this
