Yonkers Mayer
Takes Own Life
Doubt Over Reason

Yonkers, N. Y. Nov. 21.-Mayor
Walter NJ. Taussig, brother of Prof.
Frank w. Taussig. Harvard economist.
today shot himself through the tenn
pie in the garage behind his house. He
died an hour later in ST. Johns River
side hospital. of which he was presi-
dent.
Running on the Democratic ticket.
he was defeated this month for reelec-
ton by Ulrich Wiesendanger. Republic
can: and Mrs. TausSig expressed belief
that if her husband committed sui
eide it was because of his political dis
appointment.
From other quarters. however, it was
learned that the mayor, actively en-
gagged in the cutlery business in
Bridgeport. Conn. recently had expert
cnced financial difficulties and only
yesterday took steps to place a mort
gage on his $4,000 home, after con-
ferring with local bankers. This Morn
ing he had an appointment at City hall
with his brother, who had come from
Cambridge. Mass. to discuss personal
matters with him.
Mr.. Taussig breakfasted with his
wife and gave no hint of his inten-
ton to take his own life. Leaving
the house, he walked to his garage
and there his chauffeur, hearing a
shot, found him. His wife reached
the hospital before he died. Cor
oner Fitzgerald. arriving from White
Plains, issued a burial certificate in
which he gave suicide as the cause
of death.
Thomas NJ. Tobin. commissioner of
public safety. said later that the
mayor, coming yesterday to his Of
flee to discuss traffic lights. had Dor
rOwed the pjStol with which he ba n
killed himself. Tobin said the
mayor had discussed the current
crime wave in New York and had
asked for a pistol, saying he had
misplaced his.
The mayors oath was administered
this afternoon to Alfred Watson,
president of the common council, in

Msrshfield, Ore, Oct. 13.-Plans
for the deliberate Staying of promi-
rent residents of Coos county with
their families were laid by Arthur
Covell, Al, n crippled astrologer, ac-
eording to his reported confession to
authorities here.
With his 16-year-old nephew. Alton
Covell, he is held in the county Jail
after indictment on Il murder charge
in connection with the death of Mrs.
Fred Covell, on September =. last.
The nephew, authorities say. has
confessed that he killed his step
mother while under the influence of
his crippled uncle. The confession,
it is declared, tells how the youth,
hypnotized by the bcd-ridden man.
. crept up behind his step-mother on
the morning of September >. while
she was at work in her kitchen, and.
clamping an ammonia-soaked cloth
over her face, smothered her to death.
The astrologer, according 10 his pur-
ported admissions and the confession
of the nephew, based his schemes for
the killing of Mrs. Covell and for
wiping out ut least dozen persons
of Coos county, upon the stars.

Robbery Plans Drawn
"The motive was TO be robbery"
. declared May. Arthur Covell had
made Pressey's horoscope and was to
: direct his 1G-year-old nephew TO COM
: nit the murders when the family was
under unfavorable planetary influ-
J cnce.
Evidence also has been uncovered
: in other coded horoscopes which were
: to direct the nephew to rob and then
= kill two merchants in Bandon. Ore.
The plans of Arthur Covell were
so infinitely detailed that they even
called for the removal of windows and
: doors before the home of the victim
was burned. The stolen articles were
TO be used in a home which the Covels
intended TO build. Even wills were
to be written in advance. turning the
money over to the astrologer or his
. agents.
Fake Will Appears Genuine.
"One will was in the hands of the
authorities when l left Marshfield and
Z it was so cleverly drawn up by him
that it can hardly be detected as
= counterfeit.

inkling Of previous crimes and of
