Untermeyer's body was found yes- terday in his dormitory room in Ne Haven, Conn. “Dick was not orbid,” said Mr. Untermeyer. “He whs a healthy nor- mal boy, of twenty. He was in good standing In his studies. He had no affairs with women. For me there is neither understandable motive nor explanation of what actually took place.” The father would not be- lieve that money or scholastic diffi- culties had caused his boy's action. The poet could see no connection | between the death of his son and the | suicldes of four other college youths | ho killed themselves in varlous | parts of the country recently to in- vestigate the future after death. “This can have no connection with those tragedies,” Mr. Untermeyer said. “Dick was anything but a brooding or melancholy chap. He never had a thought for spiritualism As for money matters heing at the bottom of it.” the father nsserted. “that 1s absurd. He never got into debt for large amounts. It was al- ways only $5 or $10. Naturally \\e: admonish-d him at such times, but never with the kind of rebuke that would make him brood.
