Deaths Elsewhere Reclusive author dies in New York NEW YORK (AP) Paul Rogers, a reclusive writer who won the 1981 Editors' Book Award for his novel about the squalid underworld of Times Square, was killed by the adopted son to whom his book was dedicated, police said Monday. Chris Rogers, 19, and Nicholas Ondrizek, 27, were charged with murdering Rogers, 48, whose body was found in a closet in his Rego Park apartment Saturday by the superintendent of his building. Police said young Rogers was at the apartment when they arrived.

But he and Ondrizek, who had been staying with the Rogerses, were not charged until early Monday. Rogers was beaten to death with a wood plank which his son and Ondrizek later burned in an incinerator, according to Detective Lt. James Campbell. The pair, who allegedly took Rogers' wallet and bank card, also were charged with robbery 'and conspiracy. Police said they did not file murder charges until DOREEn an autopsy indicated Rogers was killed by a blow to the head.

Rogers, a former school teacher and social adopted Chris three years ago. His novel "Saul's Book" is dedicated to Chris, "with my love and devotion, now and forever." Rogers had cancer, according to his editor. "He was a very, very sick man. I expected he'd be dead by now," said William Henderson, who said he last spoke Rogers earlier this year. "I think he did, too." Campbell said that mercy killing had been ruled out as a motive in the murder and that detectives were trying to obtain Rogers' bank records to learn if money had been withdrawn from his account.

He said Ondrizek, whom he characterized as "a drifter," was arrested in a park near Rogers' apartment. The Editors' Book Award is presented annually to the author of an outstanding manuscript overlooked by major commercial publishers. COUPLES Mr. and Mrs. Albert Layden Mr.
