CAR THIEF CHOOSES DEATH
in PREFERENCE TO PRISON
Harold Gody, Bridgeport Man Sentenced to Three to
Eight Years, Commits Suicide By Hanging in His Cell

Bridgeport, May 23.--Harold Goldy,
younger of two brothers sentenced
yesterday for the theft of automobiles,
hanged himself with bed sheet in
his cell in the county jail early today.
Fifteen minutes after a watchman had
passed the cell door the body was
found suspended from bar. Medical
Examiner Samuel Garlick gave ver-
dict of suicide.
Succeeds Third Time
The information as to Goldy's death
was given out by Sheriff Simeon
pease. He said that Harold Gody,
twice before during the time he was
awaiting trial. had tried to kill him
self, once by endeavoring to swallow
a prune stone and then by trying to
infiict wounds on his wrist with a
pocket knife. Harold and his brother
Nathan had been placed in adjoining
cells.
Three to Years
The former was sentenced by Judge
Frank D. Haines in the criminal SUI
perior court yesterday to serve from
three to eight years in state prison for
theft of four automobiles while Ma.
than got six months in Jail for steal
ing one machine. 1t has been alleged
that Harold Goldy was one Of the

every way to shield Nathan and as
sumcd responsibility for the thefts.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1923-05-23

The brothers were wakeful all nigh
and frequently talked, About 4:45 a.
IN. the watchman passed the cells. Just
about that time Harold spoke to his
brother, saying I'm all right" Fiji
teen minutes later the watchman n
opened the cell doors to let the men
out into the cage for a recess. Harold
did not appear and his body was
found.
Death Was Peculiar
Sheriff Pease said that 1t was sing,l-
lar that life was absolutely extinct
when Goldy was cut down as if the
period of death was longer than 10
minutes. The watchman's time was
corroborated by Nathan who said that
it was 4:45 O'Clock when his brother
muttered to him I'm all right" He
said that his brother had talked with
him several times during the night
and the tone of his voice indicated he
was brooding over something.
Jailer Is ifbsolyed
Coroner j. J. Phelan opened an in
quest at once and his verdict was that
he found no lack Of diligence on the
part of the Jail officials.
Nathan Goldy was paroled in Gus
tody of George Mara, his counsel that
he may attend the funeral.
Ernest Sarrell, a nurse, who was
called as soon as the body was cut
down, tried all means available to
resuscitate Goldy.

declaring Patrick Il. Kelly ''judicially

were taken to annu the decree.
The Kelley home on Myrtle street
was visited last night by scores of
friends. "reminiscences of old times
were recited and tales OF travel
through the western states, through
Mexico and Ireland, and of mining,
numbering and the oil fields were dis
cussed. The Kelley telephone line was
one of the busiest in the city until
midnight as many friends of the man
who was the principal in what was
perhaps the strangest case to ever
come before the probate court talked
with him.
This morning many friends called
to see him, including Michael Holly
wood, who was recently pensioned by
The Stanley Works after SO years OF
faithful service, and who, like Kelly |
Is a native Of Ireland. Mr.. Holly /
wood sang a song, Welcome Home |
Patrick Kelley" that he composed and
llso sung of the Emerald Isle where
Kelley had spent much of the time |
Turing his absence from the city. Mr.. |
Kelley is today visiting relatives in |
