NOVELIST MURDERED.
Paul Ford shot by Brother. Who
Also Kills Himself.


NEW YORK, May 9.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the celebrated novelist, was shot
and killed in his home at 33 East Sew
enty-seventh street yesterday afternoon
by his brother, Malcolm Webster Ford,
the athlete, who then committed sui
eide.
The brothers had been enemies for
eleven years, since the death of their
father, Gordon l.. Ford of Brooklyn,
who left an estate valued at S2,000,000
to all of his children save Malcolm,
whom he disinherited because of his
connection with athletic sports.
Paul Leicester Ford was one of the
best known novelists in the country.
His novel, Janice Meredith" enjoyed
Il remarkable sale and is still consider
cd a productive piece of property. In
It's dramatized form ii was a great sue
cess and was played throughout the
country, with Mary Mannering in the
star part.
Mr.. Ford before his success with
Janice Meredith" turned out his
torical novel, "The Hon. Peter Ster-
ling" that was also a great success.
He was the author Of many other
works, several plays and had arranged
| for the publication of a new novel in
the near future.
Because of his physical deformity
Mr.. Ford was more or less of hermit.
He suffered great deal, and, consid-
ering his handicaps the amount of
work he performed was wonderful
1t is said that he had the finest private
library in New York packed away in
vaults in the old family residence on
Brooklyn Heights.
