Mother Shot In Fit Of Pas
sion Is Only Explanation
Offered By Girl
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IB. UP)
- -.Suiuding dry-eyes and with perfect
i cuntrolled nerves in her cell In the
ly prison, Dorothy Ellingson, IB
'- wir-old business college graduate.
l.jid interviewers today that she shot
i.ihI killed her mother, Mrs. Anna
J'.lliugaun, in their home here on
Tuesday morning because the elder
woman bad objected to her "jazzing
around at all hours of the night.'
She was charged with murder.
Both as a favor and as a test of
her nerve, the girl held a lighted
i match as steady as though she were
a statue in order that the flashlight
cameraman of the newspapers could
' spot her in the dim jail corridors,
She spoke firmly, unsmlligly and ap
parently without pty.
; Mother Kind
I "Mother was kind to me," she said,
, "as kind as she could be. She did not
object to my having a good time. She
objected to the late hours I kept,
mat e ail.
"The musicians I went with did not
get away until around midnight. So I
would start out on the parties late
, That is what mother objected It If I
had started out early and gone to a
i movie or something until it came time
to go to the party, it would have
been all right.
i "I shot in a fit of temper; a sudden
fit of temper. It was after we had
; quarreled about my late hours and my
jasc companions."
The girl was found by three detect'
ivea in a lodging house a few miles
from her home. She bad to be roused
from bed. She had not left the city,
she said.
i She was traced through Dave Stein
a companion of the evening before,
at whose borne she had attended a
party while the body of ber mother
lay at the morgue.
Party 0 escribed
Describing this party, the girl
said:
' "I bad several drinks there. Every
little while the image of my dead mo
ther would flash into my brain and I
would take a drink to drive it away,
lint I did cot get drunk. I would take
drinks with others at tho parties we
went to but I never lost my senses.
"I did not have a drink the morning
I killed my mother. It was a hot fit
of temper, that's all."
While her manners and manner
isms are girlish, Miss Elllugaon has
tho maturity of a woman of '25 in face
and figure. Her complete absence of
hysteria also belies her age.
She was placed on the police court
calendar for toduy. Under the laws
( California, no one under the age
of 18 can be brought to the gallows.

ARE RETIRED AT
64YEARS0FAGE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. OP)
By the coincidence of their birth on the
same day 64 years ago, two major
generals,' both with long military car
eers, crowned by conspicuous service
with tbe American army in the
World war, passed from active ser
vice today under the axe retirement
law.
War department records show that
Major-General Robert L. Billiard,
commanding lie second corps srea at
Governor's Island, and Major-General
Charlea G. Morton, commanding the
ninth corps area at Snn Francisc,
were born Janualy 15, 18G1. The pas
sage of 46 years since General Mor
ton entered the military academv
from .Massachusetts m July, 1870,
gives him a service record just two
years longer than tbat of-his comrade
from Alabama, who put on the cadet
uniform in July, 1881.
Letters praising the years of con
spiri'ius service by both officers were
handed them by Secretary Weeks on
turn'ng over their commands to ap
pointed successors. His letter to Gen
eral Bullard, the war aecretary re
called that it was ie who led the first
American division to enter the front
line of battle in France, the first to
fire on German forces, the first to
take a German prisoner and the first
to pierce the hostile positions in the
bt-ttlc "f Cantigny the first Amer
ican offensive of the war. The achieve
ments of General Morton as com
mander of tbe 29th division and dur
ing his detail as military observer for
tbe American forces in France were
tecounted in praiseworthy fashion by
Sn-retnry Weeks In his letter to the
ninth corps commander.
