That renewed an old said Dorothy. “You won't,” said the mother. “You should be out looking for a job.”" But Dorothy, chafing at home re- straints, did attend the party, Under the bright lights ‘she was tho life of the party.” Her singing and danc ing were in joyous mood— In the streets newsboys shouted of her mother’s murder, and by tele- plione, telegraph and radio the police were seeking Dorothy herself as the slayer. “I killed my mother—but God knows I loved her,” says Dorothy now in jall..‘She didn't understand me, I didn't understand her. “I loved dancing and excitement. I could forget my troubles then. My family opposed this, but I couldn't give it up and lose all my gay friends. Father left home after one bad quarrel about me.

I saw mother putting on her shoes in our bedroom and I fired.

It was to these “discrepancies” that the jury’s verdict called atten- uen. Assistant District Attorney Metkle started today to assemble the evi- dence against the girl. “If T am left in charge of the Prosecution in the superior court, to which trial body I shall demand next Thursday that the caso be submitted,” she said, “I shall ask that Dorothy Ellingson be sentenced to life imprisonment in a state peni- tentiary, the maximum sentence that can be given her under the circumstances. “In California the death penalty cannot be inflicted upon anyone not of legal age. It makes no difference to me whether a criminal is a man or a woman.

DENVER, Colo., Jan. 17.—(United Press)—"A brain dulled by booze or dope, perhaps both,” could only be responsible for the matricide confess- ed by 16-year-old Dorothy Ellingson of San Francisco, Ben B, Lindsey, Judge of the Juvenile court here, said today. That is the only one of Its kind in criminal history,” he sald, ‘It, like the Leopold-Loeb case, never happened before, and probably never will happen again, e “It's difficult to fix the responsi- bility of a brain dulled by dope or booze, perhaps both, undoubtedly contributed their share tn its execu tion.” U5, FOREIGN POLICY RAPPED.
