PAUL L. FORD MURDERED
Author of "Jnnice Meredith" Killed by
His Brother, the Athlete. Who
Then Commits Suicide.

Author of ..Jnnice Meredith" Killed by
His Brother, the Athlete, Who
Then Commits Suicide.
New York, May 10.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot through
the heart by his brother, Malcolm Web
ster Ford. The murderer then turned
the weapon upon himself and gave
himself an almost similar wound. The
two brothers died within few feet
of each other, Malcolm Immediately,
alone, face downward upon the floor;
Paul half an hour later, on a couch
close by, with his wife of less than two
years married life weeping over him.
There WAS but one witness of the muir
der and suicide, Miss Hall, the secre-
tary of the novelist, and through her
but one sentence of all that WIS said
in the moments preceding the shooting
has reached the public. When Mall
colin made his threats and drew his re-
| yelver, Paul started to his feet
''All right: want to die bravely," he
| said. And facing his brother and enc
my, he received the bullet in his
| breast.
There had been dispute over money
matters before this. and the words that
| We're said ranked with all the cumuln-
| tive bitterness of ten years of family
| quarreling. For Malcolm was the dis
| inherited son OF millionaire father;
| Paul was the spokesman and leader
of the six children to whom the estate
had been left.
And with 1t went all the opposition
| of two totally unlike characters. For
Paul Ford. the author of Janice Mere
dith,' OF The Honorable Peter Stirl-
ing of THE Many-Sided Franklin
and half dozen other novels and bio
graphical works, WIS no less famous IN
his field than Malcolm, the older OF
worlds records for running high
| jumps and running broad jumps, was
in his.
