BOY DEMENTED
WHO HANGED SELF
AT HALTER END
Rev. FIR. O'Connor Convinced
That Lad Was Mentally
irresponsible
Lallys Much Disturbed by Mis-
taken Report That They
Threatened William
Ryan

The funeral of William Ryan, an
orphan Of 16, who hanged himself at
the barn of Ernest H. Niver, Ferry
Road, Stratford, late Saturday was
held this morning with a funeral mass
at ST. James r. C. church at 9 o'clock
Interment was in st. MichaePs ceme-
terry. Rev. Father O'Connor, pastor
of st. James, said he was convinced
the lad was mentally irresponsible and
that his act therefore did not preclude
his receiving the funeral mass ordin-
arily denied suicides in the Catholic
church
The suicide Of young Ryan is part
of q family history darkened by trag-
edy. HIS fathers death resulted from
a gas explosion in New Haven and
the shock so unbalanced his mothers
mentality that she has been an inmate
of the Connecticut Hospital for Insane
for many years. The boy had been
led to believe his mother too was
dead. A sister is an inmate of st.
Francis orphan asylum, New Haven,
where the lad remained until two
years ago.
Saturday afternoon the boy brought
a calf into the barn, slipped the halter
from the animal and placing it about
his neck adjusted it over a beam, then
Niver discovered the lifeless body.
The boys rash act is accounted for
by those who knew him as an evil
dence of mental deficiency. He was
not regarded as overnight and one of
his recent FRANKS was the setting fire
to grass in the Niver property. Flames
spread to the garden Of Charles Lally,
a neighbor, and destroyed strawberry
plants and damaged fruit trees. Mr..
Niver and Mr. Lally agree that there
were no threats made to the boy at
that time, despite reports to the con-
trary. AS far as can be learned the
boy enjoyed a good home, and had
no occasion to complain of his treat
ment There is apparently no foun-
dation for the belief that threats were
made to return him to the orphan asy-
lum for the lads suicide did not take
place until nearly week after the
fire.
Mr.. Lally has resided in Stratford
for nearly so years. He is much dis
turbed that reports should have arisen
that reflect upon his attitude towards
the unfortunate boy. Mr.. Lally en-
joys the confidence of all the older
residents of Stratford who feel sure
there is no occasion to censure him for
the lads death.
