Trace of poison revealed in the stomach of Victor Falzon 3-month- old infant son of Emanuel Falzon, 1797 OakdaJe avenue, by an autopsy yesterday, set in motion a police investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the sadden death of the baby. Early Friday morning the child was seized with convulsions. The parents summoned Dr. Walter Smith of the Flood building, but the baby was dead when he arrived. The body was turned over to an undertaking establishment and the Coroner notified. Not satisfied with the apparently unexplainable circumstances of the case. Deputy Coroner Michael Brown investigated and upon his report Coroner T. B. W. Leland ordered an autopsy performed yesterday morning by Dr. Shelby Strange. In the infant's stomach Dr. Strange found traces of a deadly poison. The stomach was sent to the city chemist for analysis.
Late yesterday afternoon, in a preliminary report of the results of his first tests on the stomach. City Toxicologist Frank Green corroborated Dr. Strange’s findings. Although he had not competed his tests, Dr. Green reported he has already found unmistakable evidence of the presence of the same poison found by Dr. Strange. The case was placed in the hands of Lieutenant Charles Dulles of the police homicide squad. He questioned the parents and took specimens of the milk and cereals.

Victor Falzon, 3-mouth-old son of Emmanuel Falzon, employee in the kitchen of a local hotel, is believed by police to have been killed by touching his mouth to a. grain of a virulent poison which clung to his father’s finger.
