Having the positive assertion of three.: physicians that
it is Barbe who was killed, author' . a feef that the iden-
j tification is virtually certain,
to be gathered in the writing of Se final chapter of
the grim tragedy to disclose irreft. bly the name of the
murdered man. h
Dramatic End of Mystery
The end of the mystery that puzzled authorities for
nine days came dramatically. Trapped in the apart
ment in which he had taken refuge the night of July 30,
after setting fire to the laboratory of the Pacific Cellulose
company to cover up his crime, Schwartz gent a bullet
through his brain. He chose this to capture and almost
certain conviction. The officers hau veconiftructed the
happenings in the isolated imitation silk plant at Walnut
Creek too accurately to leave him any hope.
So it was that when policemen knocked upon his
door in an Oakland apartment house, they heard a muf
fled shot and breaking in found him dying.
Leaves Suicide Note
An explanatory note addressed to the wife, Mrs.
Schwartz, said the fugitive chemist had come to the
point of saying good-bye because he had killed a stranger
who had asked him for work and attacked him when
refused. But the investigators brand this as a falsehood,
written in the face of death, the explanation of the oc
currence made by the man about to terminate his ex
istence. Thev believe their proof is complete that Sch
wartz planned the killfng for months to defraud the
insurance companies out of more than $100,000 which
he carried in favor of Mrs. Schwartz and the Cellulose
companv, in which she was a heavy stockholder. His
note, the police believe, was a dying effort to erase the
image of himself as a premeditated murderer in the
minds of his wife and children, when his suicide should
reveal his plot to fake his own death in the Walnut
Creek fire.
Through his scheming, fate worked against the Berk
eley chemist, who was vice president and general man
ager of the Cellulose company. The explosion and
fire which were to have wiped evidence of the slaying
of the man lured to the plant under promise of employ
ment failed to accomplish its purpose, investigators
iearned, because a night watchman Schwartz had sent on
rraaKl returned
unexpectedly .
and extinguished tbe blaze. His
Plan lo escape the sinie night fail

he had a reservation for Harstow.
