King Of Banker Finds Peace In Being Obscure
Pittsburgh June 15. William Mellon, 68, called the “poor cousin” of Andrew W. Mellon, lives in a shabby back-alley apartment as the government pursues a $3,089,000 income tax fraud suit against the banker. He writes a Mellon genealogy, uses a donated typewriter, and says he wants no wealth, just peace. He doubts a fraud conviction and says he prefers his modest, quiet life over any hotel suite.
