"LIFER" OUT ON PAROLE.
Hunters Point Policeman Murderer
Released 4ft6r T1centy-fUe Years.

After spending twenty-five of the best years
Of his life in Sing Sing Prison. Patrick Casey.
"!ifer" was released parole yesterday, and
last night he returned TO his old home in Long
Island City where there was a celebration in
honor of the occasion. Casey was one of five
''Hfers" released yesterday under the new law.
Caseys release recalls the murder of Rounds
man Comiskey. in the old Hunters Point police
station. on a Sunday morning in 1882 COmis-
key and Casey were born and brought up in
Hunters Point. and both Joined the police force
at the same time. Comlskey was industrious
and soon became a roundsman Casey thought
he deserved promotion and that Comiskey
working against him. He started drinking. and
was called up" several times
Finally Casey became very bitter against CO.
miskey. He drank unusually heavy one Sunday
morning, and then went the police station.
Casey asked OF the policemen in the sta
ton to adjust his revolver Then he walked out
in front Of the desk where Comiskey was sit
ting. He cursed Comiskey, said he would never
report him again. and then sent bullet through
the brain Of his old friend.
At the first trial Casey was convicted of muir
der in the first degree, but he got a new trial
ana his sentence changed TO life imprison-
ment.
William Lynch. the ''Ifer's' nephew brought
his uncle down from Sing Sing yesterday after
noon. Casey is ffty-five years old. but
despite his long term Of Imprisonment he is
hale and hearty and does not show his age.
When he went away he left behind his wife
and three little girls. At the celebration last
night they all there. two of the
daughters brought their husbands and Casey's
grandchildren. The old prisoner said he had
fixed plans for earning is living but would
not say what they were. Long Island City
looked just about the same as it did twenty
five years ago. he said.
