MILLIONAIRE 18 SLAIN BY SON Hiram Duryea, Aged Eighty, Murdered in Brooklyn. USES PISTOL AND RIFLE Return of Previous Mental Breakdown Only Explanation of the Tragedy. Patricide Refuses to Give Any Rea- son for His Act. New York, May 6.—Hiram Duryea, aged eighty-one years, retired million- aire starch manufacturer and Civil war veteran, was - murdered. at his home in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn by his son, Chester Duryea. Seven shots were fired by the son in- to his father’s body, causing instant death. The murder occurred on the porch at the rear of the Duryea home, where both father and son were in the habit of sleeping. About 1 a. m. Chester Duryea, who is forty-three years old, . slipped from his cot into the house, where he kept a number of rifies, re- volvers and shotguns for hunting purposes. He selected an automatic pistol and a magazine rifie, both of which he loaded and returned to the open air porch. Standing within a few feet of his father he fired first from the rifie and then emptied the revolver. Indications of Struggle. Although servants said that there had been no quarrel between General Duryea and his son before they re- tired for the night an overturned ta- ble, a broken screen and books scat- tered about the floor of the sleeping porch led the police to believe that Chester had awakened his father and that a struggle had ensued before the shots were fired. Duryea would give no reason for killing his father. For the past few days, servants told the police, he had been acting strangely and they feared a return of a previous breakdown. In 1909, when he showed signs of mental trouble, his father sought to have him removed to Bellevue hospital for ob- servation, but as he was not violent this request was refused. At the outbreak of the Civil war Hiram Duryea organized the Duryea Zouaves and became its colonel. He served throughout the war, retiring at its close with the rank of brigadier general. General Duryea’s father was found- er of the National Starch company and the general succeeded to the pres- idency of the company. The general retired from active business life some time ago. Had Trouble, He Said. After the murder Chester Duryea summoned the police, personally ad- mitting the detectives on their arrival. “We had a little trouble,” the de- tectives say Duryea declared. Then he began mumbling and complained of being faint. He was given a glass of water and resumed mumbling to him- self. “I'm justified in what I've done,” he declared. “It was all right that I should do it. People will know I did it.” The detectives said young Duryea would be quiet for a time and then would declare hysterically: “People will know it, but I'm right.” Chester Duryea's marriage to Nina Larre Smith, daughter of Franklin Waldo Smith of Boston, in 1898 and their divorce in 1902 attracted wide attention. Mrs. Duryea charged that domestic trouble started’ on their honeymoon when her husband dis- played violent bursts of temper.

OPPOSITION T0 GVING UP ARMS Delay on Part of Both Op- erators and Miners. - FORMER WANT TROOPS Declare They Will Not Call Off Guards Until They Are Assured of Protec- tion—Strikebreakers in Northern Colorado Field Alarmed. Denver, May 6—The question of disarmament of all factions in the Colorado coal strike zones has become the most important development of the industrial-situation. Reports are in circulation that the strikers in Huerfano county had re- versed their decision to deliver up their arms, and from Pueblo came word that strikers had succeeded in smuggling arms and ammunition through there to some unknown place, The strikebreakers in the northern coal fields, centering in Boulder coun- ty, openly declared they would work no longer if the mine guards were dis- armed, unless the federal troops were stationed on mine property to protect them. The operators have taken the posi- tion that they will deliver their arms to the federal troops when their prop- erty is given protection. By some this was taken to mean that the operators will insist upon actual placing of soldiers on their property. In Trinidad, Colonel James Lockett | commanding the Eleventh regiment, took charge of the situation. He Joined the federal forces now in con- trol of the southern coal fields under Major Holbrook. The inquest over the victims of the battle at Forbes April 27 has begun. Coroner Sipe announced he would take the jury to the scene to take testi mony.
