POISONED SODA DEATHS STiLL DEFY SOLUTION San Francisco Police Are of Opinion Design Was Responsible. ft’l r ntlrd f‘l 11 SAN FRANCISCO Nov. 21.- After 43 hours of investigation by police and health authorities, the mystery of the death of three persons from poisoned baking .-.oda continued today to defy solution. Virtually every new discovery added to police suspicions that, poison in the two-pound bag' of baking soda sold at a “cut rate" department store was not there by accident, but by design. Police estimated approximately 800 families had purchased quantities of the cooking agent, unaware that some packages, at least, contained lethal quantities of arsenic and fluoride. Thre" Dead, 21 111 Os the number who purchased soda, three were dead and 21 others suffered various degrees of illness after using it either in cooking meals at home or for relief of upset stomachs. Additional casualties were not expected because of a newspaper and radio campaign of warning speeded by Dr. J. C Geiger, San Francisco health officer. Cause of the sudden afflict inn was traced. The poison, it was found, was contained in the baking soda sold in retail lots from bulk barrel containers delivered to the department store by the Manno Salvage Cos . where the barrels were packed from contents of broken packages of a nationally known brand of baking soda. Conditions displeasing health authorities —an indiscriminately stocked storeroom with a variety of articles scattered about the. place—were found to exist at the salvage company. Beyond that, however, investigators found little to aid them. Arrest Proprietor They padlocked the company and arrested Morris (Joe) Rosenthal, department; store proprietor, and Nick Manno, salvage company operator, on charges of violating pure food laws m selling the contaminated product, and selling the national manufacturer’s product in hulk, trademarked without the manufacturer's consent. Both men were released under $250 bond. Beyond (lie arrests, which added nothing to the solution of the mystery, there were no other discoveries aside from those of chemical analysts who found that pure arsenic was present in much of the soda, together with fluoride. Rosenthal and Manno both insisted they had no idea how the soda became contaminated.
