10 Escape
Asylum, Duryea Tells
OF Father's Staying
Sow Figure on Balcony,
There Was a Mixup,'
He Tells Court
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Jan. TO-
Chester B. Duryea, SO, shut of from
the world for Is years by the walls
of an insane asylum, wants to
gamble his life against freedom from
a murder charge.
The sons story of the violent
death of his millionaire father in
1914 started yesterday during
habeas corpus hearing by which he
seeks to obtain his release from the
asylum, and continued today.
The 81-year -old starch king was
shot to death in his Brooklyn man
sion May S, 1914 Seven bullets
ripped through his body, and police
who answered the sons summons
found him so violent he had to be
put in a padded cell. He has been
in Matteawan State Hospital for the
Criminal Insane ever since
through the World War, peace and
now another war.
Ready to Fight Indictment.
Duryea, a partly-bald, ;soberly-
clad individual who looked like an
elderly business man, told State
Supreme Court Justice Lee P. Davis
he did not recall attacking his
father, but was ready to fight a
first-deg1ee murder indictment now
Have you ever thought what
your defense would be?' asked
Deputy State Attorney General
William J. Cahill.
Il would have to consult with
counsel" Duryea replied calmly.
1T might be insanity. Without a
doubt I was mentally unbalanced
at the time"
Duryea testified he could not re-
member shooting his father, who
during the Civil War commanded
the Union Army Zouaves in the first
Maryland campaign. and gave his
version of what had happened. The
State, which originally committed
him to the institution, seeks to
block his release.
Saw Figure on Balcony.
The son said he was packing for a
fishing trip when some one suddenly
ran from the elder Duryea's room to
a balcony.
Il thought it was my father and
called out" he said, but the figure
ran back. About a minute later he
rushed out again. I saw something
in his hand. He rushed for me.
There was some sort of mixup.
Then there was fall I saw what
seemed to be my father on the
floor. I was so shocked that it might
be my father that I became men
tally unbalanced"
He said his defense in any mur-
der trial might be insanity, because
without doubt I was mentally un-
balanced at the time"
Psychiatrists said that years ago
Duryea described the shooting: I'VE
were whirling about in the air when
it happened, and the bullet went
through my chest and through
father He was whirling high when
he fell. I kissed him before shot
him. Angels told me to do it.

Temperature Drops
To Z, Lowest Here
In -Four Years
To Be rs Tonight and
Rise Slowly Rest Of
Week, Freeing City Of Ice

The mercury hit bottom here
early today-reaching IL degrees
above zero at Sis am, the coolest
in four years. 1t Immediately started
a climb which the forecaster said
would continue until Washington
could once more be included in the
temperate zone.
The forecast for tonight included
a low of Is degrees. Tomorrow,
light rain or snow may be expected.
The temperature will continue to rise
slowly during the week, the weather
man believes, freeing the city of the
ice that has collected during the
cold spell of the past two weeks.
The forecaster. who had been see
ing low temperatures under the bed
for week, hit 1t on the nose last
night with prediction Of IL above.
It was is degrees at midnight, sank
slowly until it reached the low just
before sunrise, then started rise
which reached 80 at noon. This was
the coolest since February 10, 1896,
when it reached 10 above.
The bitter cold and snow-which
had brought one blessing to the
city, a cessation Of serious traffic
accidents-had filled Chesapeake
Bay with more ice than had been
seen since 1894 and had put a seri-
GUS crimp in activities there.
A shortage of oysters was reported
along the Washington water front
and Associated Press dispatches
said that virtually the entire Mary
land oyster fleet was bottled up in
creeks along the bay and lower
river.
The oyster shortage in the city
will become more acute it was pre-
dicted. Oystermen foresaw long
period of idleness-and a stoppage
of income-for themselves.
No serious traffic accident has
been reported in the city since the
snow started to fall Sunday, al
though many minor collisions have
occurred. Police attribute this to
the lessening Of speed and increased
caution by motorists and pedes-
trians.
