Dorr, wife of Mrs. O'Brien's sweetheart. Mrs. O'Brien and Dorr were arrested immediately after the shooting and both attempted to shoulder the blame. A number of conflicting statements ‘were made by the pair, but police gave most credence to a confession by Mrs. O'Brien that she and Dorr planned to kill their respective mates and flee with funds from a $5.000 policy Dorr, an insurance man, recently sold the victim. According to information to police, Dorr also_attempted to write a $15,000 policy for O'Brien a few days before the shooting. Dorr in a statement said he was in Mrs. O'Brien’s room when the victim returned home Wednesday night. “I shot at him as he entered the ‘bedroom,” Dorr said. “He dashed into the hall and ran down the stairs as I fired at him again. I fired four shots.” Dorr denied he was motivated by hopes of obtaining the insurance money or that he planned to kill his own wife. He said he shot O'Brien for abusing Mrs. O'Brien, with whom Dorr said he had been intimate for several months. “Dorr told me he could not endure my feeling s0,” Mrs. O'Brien said. “He said ‘I guess I'll have to kill them both and get the insurance.’” Donald O'Brien, the slain man's father, added that Dorr had been per- sistent in attempting to have the victim take additional insurance with Mrs. ©O’Brien_as beneficiary. Mrs. Dorr, the mother of two chil- dren, ran into the O'Brien apartment when she heard the shots. It was her first knowledge that her husband was unfaithful, she said, Mrs, O'Brien said she at first decided to take the blame for the shooting, after a hasty confer- ence with Dorr and Mrs. Dorr. They believed, she said, that she could tell a story of cruelty and be acquitted.
