"a large city in this state whose ac-
counts have not been audited in two

ings with a town treasurer who
hasn't balanced his books in 40
years. In the past year between
$4,000 and $4,000 have been
lost TO municipalities Of Massachu-

themselves are not so much TO blame
as the municipalities which select
incompetent men and pay them RI
diCulous salaries. Some towns are
paying their auditors as low as IS n

Man, 81, MURDERS
HIS GIRL friend
Then New Yorker Makes At.
tempt at Suicide


New York. Dec. 20 R>-Harry
Cowan, 81 years old, lies seriously
wounded in a Brooklyn hospital to-
day, faced with the wreck of his life.
Last night he was found but a
few feet from the body of an at
tractive young stenographer, Miss
Edith Burton, whom he had killed
before he attempted suicide in her
brooklyn home. She was crumpled
under a Christmas tree with three
bullets in her body, a victim, police
believes, of Cowans anger when she
refused his suit.
With bullet In his temple,
Cowan thus far has been unable TO
throw light on several other mys-
tories concerning himself, one OF
which centers about a charge that
he absconded with $4,000 from n
hotel in 1928. Two notes that he
wrote threw some light on his career.
In one he said: II did not go very
high in public school. My fault, ]
was just n bad boy, no matter how
hard | tried 10 be a good one. Please
| forgive me. Good bye
The other note was addressed 10
| Emil II. Reimers. manager Of the
Hotel Latham, and said in part: u
would like to give the money book
but can't because l gave $4,000 to a
friend, and a blonde, her mother and
brother blaCkmailed me out OF tbs
rest"
Rcimers said that Cowan had alb
seconded with $4,000 in 1928 abou'
the time he met Miss Burton, who
was a stenographer at the hotel.
Mrs. Ada Burton, mother of the
slain girl, who found the victims o
the tragedy, said that Cowan alsC
was known to her as Arthur Rogers
and had long been an attentive calleI
on her daughter.
