To prevent hlni from injuring himself, a policeman was placed today 1n the cell with Chester Duryea who, unquestionably while suffering from hallucination, last night shot and killed his father, Hiram Duryea, the multi-millionaire manufacturer, 81 years old. Duryea surrendered to the police without resistance but today began to show signs of violence, beating his head against his cell walls, cutting his fists by pounding on the bar and screaming for his liberty. The younger Duryea, a man of 43, has been behaving peculiarly for five or six years and has been watched by nurses and physicians from time to time but was never considered dan gerous. Iast night, as his father slept on t balcony at his home at Bay Ridge, the son slipped up to, him with a rifle and revolver and shot him several times with both weapons, killing him instantly.
