IB1DDEFORD MAN HANGS
.SELF-FEARED PRISON

Biddeford. Oct. 13.-Fearing that he
would have to spend a long term of
years at the State Prison in Thomas
ton in event of the death of his SON.
in-law, Frank Balessarri of Portland,
who was injured in a fight late yes
terday in a pool room on Elm street,
William Nadeau. IS years old, COM
mitted suicide in a cell at the police
station this morning by means of
his belt. The body was found by one
of the police officers a few minutes
later, life being extinct. Medical Ex-
aminer Charles F. Taynor pronounc-
ed death due to strangulation.
Nadeau and his son, Simon Nadeau,
were arrested, the father on the
charge of assault, and Simon on the
charge of intoxication and assault.
Yesterday afternoon the police sta :
ton received word that a fight was in
progress in a pool room in the Mosh-
er building on Elm street. Chief of
Police Robbins and Patrolman Doyle
went to the scene, and there Bales
sarri was found in an unconscious
condition. The senior Nadeau sub
mitted to arrest, but Simon Nedeau
ran out of the building and escaped.
He was later caught by the officers
after a hard struggle, in which Ma
deau used a club.
According to the police there has
been bad feeling between members of
the family for a long time. The po-
lice state that Simon Nadeau and
Balessarri had warm words in the
pool room and that Simon struck his
brother-in-law. They also claim that
during the fight William Nadeau
picked up maple billiard cue and
struck Balessarri over the head
knocking him down and rendering
him unconscious. The latter was
rushed to the Weber hospital, where
his condition today is regarded as ia
vorable for recovery.
Shortly before Nadeau committed
suicide the son claims that he re-
marked to him from his cell that he
feared a long term at the State pris-
on if Ballessarri did not recover. It
is thought that this preyed upon his
mind and caused him to take his life
during the night. ....
