FIND EX-BYRD MAN WORKING DN NEWSPAPER Mitchell’ of Omaha Bee News Is Recognized as Richard Brophy. 'i I nth and Press OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 2.—A chair at the “rim” of a newspaper copy desk, over which the doings of the world pass in an endless chain of tories, cablegrams and dispatches, was chosen by Richard G. Brophy, former executive of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, as the place in which to hide from the world, a story in the Omaha Bee-News said today. His fate a mystery since he had left a note with his clothing at a Coney Island bathing beach last August saying he was going to drown himself. Brophy was identified by the News editor of the newspaper from a photograph of members of the expedition. Uses Alias As “Charles Manning Mitchell,” Brophy went to work for the BeeNews as a copyreader late in the summer, that paper said in its story. He was sitting at the copy desk Saturday night when the news editor noticed the resemblance with the picture of Brophy. The copyleader admitted he was Brophy, it was said, and explained he had tried to escape troubles which had caused a nervous breakdown. He left the next morning by train for the east, saying he was “going back to New York to start all over again.” He said his wife and son were there. Praised by Byrd Brophy, who had won Commander Byrd's praise for his work as business manager of tne expedition, left the party of explorers at New Zealand and returned to New York. Shortly afterward the suicide note was found, but police in New York were skeptical, as a hotel at which Brophy had lived received instructions to forward his mail to another address. The troubles which prompted him to go through with the suicide ruse were believed personal and not connected with the Byrd expedition, as his accounts in that connection were in good order, the Bee-News story said.
