: WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Jan. 10 He said he believed his mind first
(U. P.).—Chester B. Duryea, a mildmannered man of 69, who once achieved fame as an industrial chemist, explained . in court yesterday that he desired to stand trial for the 25-year-old slaying of his Je He jis, Duryea said, no longer insane. - In a hearing on his habeas corpus
petition before Suprem? Court Jus-|
‘tice. Lee Parsons Davis, Duryea said that since his commitment to an insane hospital following the slaying he has “recovered his reason
and has been restored to a sound state of mind and understanding.” Duryea still is under indictment in Kings County, charged with the murder of Brig. Gen. Hiram Duryea, then 80, in their Brooklyn home. The elder Duryea, a wealthy starch manufacturer, had served with distinction in the Civil Wear with the 5th New York Infantry. The son was alleged to have fired seven bullets into his father’s body on the night of May 5, 1914, Duryea, author of several scientific papers on the chemical properties of starch, testified that he had no recollection of his father’s death and to a question as to whether he had any motive, replied: “None whatsoever.”
He Said the events of that time
were “cloudy” in his mind and admitted that he probably was mentally ill during the first years he
began’ to clear in 1922 but that it was not until 1932 that he began to feel “normal.” He said he was legally separated from his wife, whom he last saw in 1914. Attorneys for Duryea’s estate and assistants from the Attorney General’s office opposed the petition on the grounds that Duryea still was insane.
