B. School Employee Killed by Father, 87

A 57-year-old Business School librarian was backed to death by her aged father Friday. Ethel C. McCoy, Radcliffe '22 and an employee in the corporate records department of the Baker Library, was found dead by police in her house in Belmont early in the morning. Her father, Hugh A. McCoy '87, had earlier called them to confess the murder.

According to one policeman, the elder McCoy said the idea of "putting my daughter away" had been on his mind for several days. He said he feared that his daughter would lose her employment. Another policeman said that McCoy killed his daughter "because the devil prompted me. . . . I wanted her to die before I do."

Police said that the murder weapon was a carpenter's hatchet.
