Ellingson
Girl Insane,
Says Expert
No Compromise in Sight,
However. Upon Plea of
Guilt Which Would Halt
Trial of Slayer.
Attorneys Cannot Agree

San Francisco, March 29.-Counse
for both sides indicated today thai
the trial of 16-year-old Dorothy Ell
I hngson, charged with the murder OF
her mother. would proceed tomorrow
though persons In close touch with
-the case saw strong possibility that
the defense would present formal
motion TO end the trial, and enl.
panel new jury to determine
whether the girl is insane at pres
ent.
- DR.. Fred r. Clark, superintendent
Of the state hospital for the in
sane at Stockton, has issued state
nent saying he considers the girl
now insane, basing his judgment on
close observation Of her behavior
In the court room. 1t was under
stood that other alienists, subpoeuaed
by the defense, were examining the
girl at the county jail today.
No Formal Report.
Sylvester J. McAtee, of defense
tsDuIlStty Sdlu llt idu npl y tt liot AoA
NAL reports ON the girls condition
and could not predict whether the
trial would be interrupted. He pointed
out, however, that the defense In
outlining its case to prospective jur'
ors all last week. had emphasized a
contention that possibly she was in
sane at the time of the alleged act.
;e ht-at h I
anto the case, will involve new Is
sue, 1t was explained.
Attorneys for both sides said they
knew of no further conferences to
discuss a compromise, as had been
widely rumored since Friday.
Must Plead Murder.
District Attorney Matthew Brady
said the prosecution had gone as far
a. it could in offering inducements
for a plea that might end the spec
tacle OF hysterical child going
through the ordeal of public trial.
But he explained that second degree
murder was the least the state could
accept as a plea of guilty.
! "If she will plead to such a charge, >
he added, I'VE don't care what is
done with her. The judge can send
her to the penitentiary or commit
her to some curative institution, in
his discretion And don't believe
any other district attorney would go
as far If such offer had been
made In the Leopold Loeb case the de-
tense would have jumped at it, We
cannot accept plea OF mansla lighter,
in a crime which the Juvenile court
has determined was murder. The
defense has shown no inclination 10
plead to anything more serious than
nanslaughter."
No Compromise in Sight.
McAtee said he saw little chance OF
. compromise between the prosecu-
tion and the defense. The defense
attorney explained that he was not
in a position to say whether Judge
Iouderback OF the trial court would
be asked to intervene in some fashion.
Dorothy Ellingson, according TO a
confession the state plans to intro
duce against her. shot and killed her
mother in the bedroom Of their home
last January 10, after quarrel over
the girls night life.
A Jury of nine men and three
women was sworn In Friday. In the
absence OF any arresting motion, the
actual trial will begin tomorrow with

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
 SRARE.UP LIKELY
Rehabilitation Of Organization
 Believed Near at Hand

Washington, May :s.-tAP)-Re- rewed signs Of activity in democra- tic national politics, pointing 10 all extensive reorganization Of party machinery and probably the desig- nation of a new national chairman. are providing many new morsels Of discussion and speculation for poll tlcians in Washington.
 There are indications that the move for rehabilitation Of the dem ocrutic organization after Its crush ing defeat of last November may come 10 a head in meeting Of the democratic national committee here within q few weeks, Thus far how ever. the proposal for such a meet ing Is entirely tentative
 lt IS the general expectation of democratic leaders here that Glenn Shaver of West Virginia, who was made rational chairman 10 manage the campaign Of John W. Davis last AIAT, Nl.I lDt ltlIa4l' Aii oN'A charge Of the reaIigned party or ganilatiou. He said in New York last night that he had no intention of rcsIgning at present but his friends believe he will make up his n,nd to do so once there has been general agreement on a successor.
 Representative OIdneld of Arkan- yss. now chairman Of the dcmocra- lie congressional campaign commit tee, Is favored by many party traders for active head of the re- ,i,i0ed organization. His eventual selection however, is dependent lpon the acQuiescerce of all the principal democratic factions, whose leaders DOW have his name under lCusideration.
 Should an agreement on him or any other bc actually effected and sl ouM Mr. Shaver still want to re- ,ain the title of national chairman, Z, Is likely that the new leader would tako command merely as acting chairman" at party head .uarters here, That course it Is uggeslcd. would make it unncces- sry for the present foF the na- lonal committee to assemble In Washington and hold a chairmanship lection.
