FOUND DEAD

NEW YORK, Aug. II uNsJ.
Walter B. Mezick, middleaged
millionaire real estate operator,
was believed today to have COM
mitted suicide, although his
family denied he had any cause
to end his life. His body was
found last night, the throat
slashed with a razor, near one Of
his biggest developments at
Creedmoor on Long Island.
Mezick had been missing since
Thursday. when he disappeared
with 1,400 in his pockets. Later
he was said to have returned to
his home and left $500. Then
he called a taxicab and drove to
the spot where his body was dis
covered. A razor was found
nearby,
