OF GIRL S LIFE

Dorothy Ellingson, Confess
ed 'Matricide, Spends Her
Birthday in Prison Cell;
Crowd Peers In
17 YEAR OLD GIRL If J
-SHADOW OF MADHOUSE
i
Defendant in Insanity Trial
Faints Twice as Brother
Testifies
SAN FRANCISCO. April' 1.
Dorothy Ellingson was 17 years
old today" and her birthday party,
attended by scores of strangers
who peered curiously at her,' was
held in the court room where her
life was dissected before her eyes.
It seemed to torture her, this re
cital of -the brief accumulation of
disordered years that led her into
court as a matricide and finally
placed her in the shadow of the
madhouse. ,
, Oirl I Suffering
The girl , whose irregular life
culminated, o she said, in a sud
den impulse to kill her .mother,
seemed to suffer as others told her
story. She heard her brother Earl
detail bitby bit, sordid feat.ure.sof
their home life. Finally he said
he believed her insane.; Twice un
der this ordeal the girl fainted.
Perhaps in her oblivion she fan
cied -her life had been otherwise
and that her 17th birthday was
being observed - in freedom witk
charming friends about her, for
each time she "was revived she
came back to court smiling faint,
ly" and. looking at the presents het
father had not forgotten to bring
even in this extremity. '
In opening the sanity hearing
before a Jury her chief counsel,
Alexander Mooslin, said that a
prenatal influence would be shown
in testimdnv. the abnnrmxltfv f
her mother shortly before her'
birth. j -
"We will prove," he asserted,
"that one night her father was
awakened in the night by the
Clutch of his wife's hands about
his throat; that she attempted to
kill him as he slept and then Tell
in a hysterical fit on the floor."
He promised' to estatFlislhe"
circumstances that produced in
Dorothy "this monstrous combi
nation of a child in years aid a
woman in nature." He outlined
the evidence tlmf- wnni i ho nffom
of her early Irregularities which
began at the age of 12, when she
and another girl ran away from
home and stayed with men. Later
her attorney said, she formed
bther'lntimate ' associations with
men, some of whom she knew
only by such" names as "Goof,"
"Frenchy," and "Joe." ? ;
TSbe began" to frequent-the to4
caljed Jaii palaces. She kept late
hours and dranir hnnfTo iimm.
The attorney related how th
girl's father and mother serara-
ed about a-year before Mrs. EI--Hngson's
death. The child, he ex
plained had a hard home life, with
no moral or religious training. ".
"Thi3 unfortunate mother," he
added, "frequently tried in a
friendly way to restrain her. The
girl, never threatened her mother.
There was no real quarrel between
