DEAD IN HIS YARD
Norwich Boy Went to Theatre
Against Parents Wishes.
WAS AFRAID OF CHAsTIsEMENT


He Was q Particularly Bright Boy
and H. PARENTS are About Heart
broken.
Norwich, Aug 1S.-The body of
Charles H. Boland, aged Ia, was found
in the yard of his home this morning,
and the fact was quickly evident that
he had taken his life. No fatality in
this city for long time has been so
extraordinary. The only explanation
ior the lads act is that he feared paren-
tai chastisement for disobedience. The
lad was the son of Mr. and Mrs James
Boland of 40 Boswell avenue, who
have four other children. He had been
very bright, obedient boy and gen
eral faVorite among his playmates.
Last night he wished to go to the the
alter, but his parents refused to allow
him. He afterwards left the house
and attended the performance. His
absence from home during the evening
and his failure to return after the hour
at which the theater closed led the
parents to go out in search of him.
Early this morning his body was found
in the yard. Boland had placed a rops
about his neck, attached the other end
to tree and then on his hands and
knees crawled away from the tree until
the rope had tightened. In this posi-
ton the lad had strangled to death
Medical Examiner Paddock and Cor
oner Brown both viewed the body and
inquired into the case. The verdict
was that young Boland met death at
his own hands.
The parents who are heartbroken
over the loss of their boy. cannot ac-
count for his act, except that he feared
being punished for going out of the
house. Mr. Boland is superintendent
in the Hopkins & Allen Manufactur-
ing Co, and at one time lived in Hart
ford
The lad attended the Broadway
grammar school.
