He feared for his life, and a city policeman had guard- ed his home for several nights. He was not on duty last night, however. Neighbors reported having seen a touring car bearing a Pennsylvania ~ license in the vicinity of the Mellett home several times yesterday. Sev- eral anonymous threats had been re- ceived by telephone by members of the family. Several days ago the publisher told friends he was convinced a plot ex- isted to take his life.
