Father Finds Body Of Son and Writes “Story” for Paper Editor’s “News Instinct” [ Governs First Act on Discovery of Boy. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 11.—Although grieved by the death of his young son, one of the first acts of Garner P. Roney, & newspaper man, after he had recovered the boy's body from | § |a creek near Kinderhook, N. Y., yesterday, was to write the story of the drowning and telegraph it to his paper in New York. Bound by the tradition of his pro- fesslon, Mr. Roney realized that the story of the boy's death, besides being a personal tragedy to him, was news, and he wrote the story for what it was worth as news. His dis- patch was as calm and dispassionate as if the boy had been a stranger and he had been assigned to cover || the story. The story the father wrote about hi$ eon's death began as follows, under a Kinderhook date “Sought by State troopers, Boy Scouts and posses of citizens since his disappearance Wednesday, James Winkop_ Roney, 9-year-old son of Garner P. Roney, an assistant editor of the Herald-Tribune, was found drowned in Kinderhook Creek here today.” WRITER DIES OF GRIEF. Robert Halstead Follows Wife to Grave in Six Days.
