Morphine Poisoning Linked to Old Jersey City Murder Mystery
The widow of George Angemeier, head of Althol Chemical, disputes doctors verdicts that he died of morphine poisoning at City Hospital, while police classify the death as self-inflicted. Angemeier had ties to a famed 1885 murder case involving Richard Hands at a Hudson and Moore Streets drug store, where Hands was found dead with a shattered skull and a blood-stained shirt.
