Autopsy Ordered on Collyer,
Found in Own Booby Trap
ty rtw Awociatad Pran
NEW YORK, April Tb« find
ing of Langley Collyer’* body amid
the filth and squalor of the race
fashionable home he shared with his
blind toother, Homer, left the Coll
yer legend just about finished today.
There will be an autopsy to de
termine the cause of death—but
police held little doubt the 61-year
old recluse, whose rat-gnawed body
was found late yesterday, had been
the victim of one of his own booby
traps, rigged to tumble heavy junk
on an intruder.
Still uncertain was the source of a
telephone message to police that led
to the finding of the body of Homer
Collyer, 65, in the house March 21.
Police found Homer, the one-time
admiralty lawyer, in a front room
of the second floor of the three-story
brownstone house, near a window.
It was the same room in which
Langley died—possibly while taking
food to the blind brother. Police
were Inclined to dismiss a report
that Langley had been seen alive
the day before Homer was found
dead.
Junk Being Removed.
Between the times of the two
macabre discoveries, 120 tons of
junk, filth and oddities had been
removed from the house. Police
began the job, which later was
taken over by the Public Admin
istrator’s Office.
Langley’s body was wedged be
tween a wooden dresser and iron
bookcase which evidently had sup
ported the heavy debris that had
fallen on the body.
“This only bears out what the
police thought ajl along—that
Collyer was caught as the victim of
one of his own booby traps,” Police
Commissioner Arthur W. Wallander
said.
A rat described by a detective as
“big as a rabbit” ran away when
the body was uncovered.
Homer had died only 9 feet away—
partly from malnutrition.
The Collyer brothers were reared
in a prosperous, old and cultivated
family, the sons of Dr. Herman
Livingston Collyer, a gynecologist
who died in 1923, and Mrs. Susie
Gage Collyer, who died in 1929.
About that time the brothers began
to shun society, never giving any
fuller explanation than that they
preferred to live alone.
14 Pianos Found.
The finding of 14 pianos in the
cluttered house indicated that in
early years the brothers were not
miserly with their fortune, recently
valued by the family attorney, John
R. McMullen, at around $100,000.
Rather they sought only seclusion
and safety behind the boarded up
windows of the house on upper Fifth
avenue.
In later years, however, Langley
was said to have walked miles to
find a bargain on his nocturnal
prowlings for food for himself and
Homer, who became blind in 1933.
Much of the trash which filled the
house was brought back by Langley
from these missions. Some of it was
left over from their childhood, from
the time when Homer studied law at
Columbia University and Langley

studied engineering, and from the
time when they were adopting the
habits of hermits.
One of the last oddities found
before Langley’s body was discovered
was an unworn black-striped shirt
and flaming red tie, gifts to Langley
on his 33d birthday on October 3,
1918, from his father.
“With many happy returns of the
day from pop,” said a slip in the box.
