BROOKLYN POLICE
PUZZLED BY SHOT
THAT KILLED GIRL
Small Caliber Bullet Said
To Range Upward Into
Her Heart

New York, Dec. 28.--Brooklyn's
keenest detectives, puzzled for soh-
tio nof the mysterious shooting of
Theresa Mccarthy, 10-year-old school
girl, in her home Tuesday, took note
of the slightly upward course of the
% caliber bullet that pierced her
heart, disclosed by the autopsy, and
today inclined more to the theory
that another child of similar age was
responsible for the tragedy.
The deduction was that the bull
let's course would have been down.
ward, rather than upward, had an
older and taller person fired the
shot, and in this belief the search was
continued for one of Theresa's play
mates frightened into silence by the
tragic consequences.
The police, working on various an
giles in hope of the merest clue and
with dragnet over the city, have in
custody James P. Grace, of Brooklyn,
25, q collector, on complaint of the
father of siX-year-od Bronx girl,
who was attacked by a man in the
hallway Of her home December 6.
Thus far, however, nothing has been
established, the police said, to con-
meet this man with the Brooklyn
mystery.
"There we're very few girls that
Theresa ever played with in the
house," TIL slain child's mother said
and never was any boys here, occa-
'ionally on very cold night, she had
me or two girl chums in the house
% play"

BRITISH SEEKING
N Notification OF
REPAYMENT TERMS
Financial Mission" Is
TO Arrange Easier
Settlement
CBy Associated PressI

London, Dec. 28.-In all newspaper
comment on the Baldwin financial
mission to the United States hope is
expressed tina tthe terms fixed by the
American congress for repayment of
the British debt may be modified.
They are universally regarded here
as excessively onerous and in some
quarters are described as "such as
Great Britain would. not dream of
trying to exact from debtor"
The period of redemption is par
ticularly condemned and Otto H.
Kahn's suggestion for a 47-year term
is thought far more reasonable than
25 years set by congress.
The chief hope here for modifica-
tion is based upon American bankers,
who, it is trusted, may be able to in
fluence congress and American pub
lie opinion in effecting easier terms.
Some of the newspapers understand
that the American funding commits
sion will not be limited by congress-
ional stipulations and expect that dis
cussion will result in an easier deal
for Great Britain.
