Mystery over charred body in lab explosion
Aug 4. Authorities gathered evidence they say strengthens the idea that the charred body found in the Pacific Celluloid Co laboratory ruins after last week’s explosion is not Charles H. Schwartz. The body may belong to another person placed there to imply Schwartz died in the blast. A recluse missing from Walnut Creek since the explosion is considered linked. Mrs Schwartz identified the body but legal proof is pending. Captain Lee of Berkeley police noted Schwartz studied “perfect crime” and discussed murders with officers, suggesting motives behind the scene. The investigation may connect Joe Rodriguez, a mine worker missing since the blast, to the case.
