Plot That Failed in New York Murder Case
A New York contemporary claims Charles Schwartz, a Pace Cel lulose chemist, plotted a perfect murder that failed. He was cornered Sunday night August 18 in a modest near the crime scene and died by suicide as police closed in. Schwartz, previously Pace Cel lulose president and research chemist, faced financial difficulties and suspicions tied to huge holdings in Insuruntus Companies. A complex body misidentification and a decoy evangelist tied to Schwartz emerged as investigators probed the crime. Schwarz left a note denying murder and lamenting a lost job and money, with a plan to feign identity as Charles Warren to avoid detection.
