THOUGHT HE HAD FAILED
NOVELIST SHOUTS HIMSELF SUCCESS HAD ARRIVED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 18, 7.15 p.m.) , LONDON, November 17. Allen Upward, a well-known novelist, was found sliot through the heart in his rooms at Wimborne, Dorset. A grim irony underlies the tragedy. He was a man of brilliant gifts, who, after years of failure, published a sensational novel, “The Domino Club,” dealing with pyscho-analysis. It was ail immediate success, and became one of the best sellers In America. Unfortunately Upward decided his efforts to get back were useless, and refused to believe evidence to the contrary, and died believing ho was a literary failure.
