 FATHER IN STAMFORD
Retired Policeman Fatally Wounded by Cheap Pistol in Hands of Only Son, Whom He Would Not Permit to be Sent f0 Institution
Special to The Farmer,

Stratford, Nov. 2e-Patrick Kennedy, s2. a retired New York policeman, was shot and probably fatally wounded, today, by his son. John, 40 at their home on the Ferry Road. Tbe son. who has always been mentally unbal- anced, is in the local lookup
 The son, although mildly insane has always been considered harmless and has been allowed to wander about the town at will. Where or when he se- cured the revolver is not known and he has never been known to have had one previous to this time.
 On account of the older mans ad- vanced years, there is but little chance
 The shooting occurred at the Ken nedy home, on the West side of the Ferry road. just south of Long Brook The elder Kennedy discovered quantity of water spilled on the eel lar floor. He reproached the son to condition of the cellar. On conplet- ing, his adnlonition-it is said he struck the son-7e turned his back. a,esa & fonfes5ion & G4 the = son wonad ba,,t 1nf to walk away, he fired through his fathers back.
 Stunned but conscious, the father, realizing the nature of his wounds. staggered out of the cellar, and half walked, half ran to the blacksmith shop of Robert Heisler, on the Ferry road, whence he telephoned to Dr. Herbert M. CIapp.
 The doctor at once notified A. D. Judson, town constable and chief of the Stratford fire departm ent. Chief Judson hastened to the house, encountering former. Sheriff Charles E. Stagg on the way.
 Dr. CIapp found flle victim still at the blacksmith shop. where he had collapsed after telephoning. While he was examining the father, Judson and Stagg went to the Kennedy house and took the son into custody.
 They found the son saving wood in the backyard.
 The pistol-an old style rim fire af- fair Of .32 caIIbre, was still on his per son. He had removed the empty shell, placed it in box Of naoldy cartridges of assorted sizes, and reloaded the empfy chamber.
 Where the pistol came from none can tell. It is of en4iquatad design, with unusually short barrel, rust covered and apparentIy desi igned for dfscharging blank cartridges. -ssi
 The younger Kennedy has been deaf and dumb and almost an ,imbeciIe rom early childhood. When seven years of age he was stricken with scarlet fever and his mental develop ment was arrested from that point The older man. who cherished the son like little boy never permitting him to be sent away The mother died about two years ago and the bond of affection became stronger after that time. There were only the two mem bers of the household.
