THE DECEASED THE HERO OF ONE OF HIS OWN

Morris Phillips, OF the Home Journal, who
was friend of the deceased, and to whom
Warwick" was dedicated, made statements
essentially as follows. The deceased was born
about the year 1880, probably at Albany, and
educated for the legal profession, and, after be-
ing admitted to the bar, practiced in his faith
er's Office. He soon, however, began to turn
his attention to literature, and did his first
writing for the Home Journal. Then followed
the publication Of hisdifferent novels-"Lulu,"
"HOtspur, "StOrmclff," "Warwick." "Dela-
plaine," and "Beverly." Warwick was
probably his most successful work, and il was
from the publication Of this that his popularity
as writer dated. story entitled "Married
in Mask," which Is now being published in the
New York Weekly, was from his pen, and the
publishers OF that paper have another story,
same writer. His domestic life was very un-
happy, and he had been separated from his wife
long time. His two daughters, aged from II
to Is, were living with the mother. The infor-
mant had not heard the deceased mention his
son. In one of his novels the deceased had
made himself the hero, and had set forth his
troubles to some extent in the story.
