SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-
Possibility of Dorothy Ellingson, 16-
year-old matricide, escaping a
murder trial on the claim she is in
sane was temporarily blocked today.
Judge Harold Louderback, pre-
siding jurist, refused to grant the
defense motion that Dorothy be
given an insanity hearing on the
basis Of an affidavit, by DIR. Jau Don
Ball, University Of California
criminologist. declaring the girl
mentally deranged.
The court held that 1t must be
proven Dorothy's insanity is of such
status as to prevent her from un-
derstanding the nature Of the muir
der charge against her before the
trial could be halted.
Judge Louderback recessed court
until 2 p. m. at which time DIR. Ball
will be questioned In hopes Of
strengthening the defense claim.
The Jazz girl who killed her mother
to escape restraint listened to her
attorneys and alienists declare the
passion which provoked the Staying
was born OF an unsound mind.
The declaration came as de-
fense move to spare the girl the
further ordeal Of a murder trial.
Already, during the jury selection.
Dorothy has suffered eight collapses,
which her counsel said further
weakened her mentality.
Dorothy appeared strong after a
weekend rest in the Ingleside jail.
She was dressed in the same shoddy
henna costume she has worn since
her trial started, with the same low
hat pulled down over her red hair.

WASHINGTON March 3O-If Sena-

to be weak next year, that venerable
politician OF Rushville will find the
national Republican Administration
lined up against him in his fight for

Senator Jim, Sanders will be guaran-

That. at least, is the gist of whis-
perings now going the rounds Of
Washington. These rumors, which
it would be almost impossible to
pin to any definite source, arise
chiefly from the fact that Senator
Watson irritates the President al
most beyond endurance.
AS chairman OF the extremely
important Interstate Commerce
Committee, and as assistant ma
jority leader of the Senate, Watson,
by all rules of the game, should be
a source of comfort and of power
to the Administration. On the
surface, he is.

Ing OF Policeman James Skelly OF
New Britain, Conn.,, as the man who
did the shooting.
Policeman Alfred Atwater Of New
Britain, was the witness.
Atwater described going to the
scene OF the robbery which pre-
ceded the shooting.
I'VE went down the alley" he
testified. "Skelly was behind me as
we entered the building.
II went in first and as l did that
man over there'-and Atwater
pointed to Chapman, who was sitting
hunched down In his chair with his
Aeyea. .fixei on the witness--''pulled
yout his gun and fired three shots.
PUT Up Your Hands"
He said put up your hands or
I'll shoot, and he shot"
Anticipating a lively session.
crowds stormed the courtroom long
before the trial opened.
Chapman seemed fit and undis-
turbed. While waiting for court to
open. he sat in the prisoners pen,
talking with Judge Frederick Groehl.
his chief counsel. He was wearing
his brown suit today, with a white
shirt and dark tie and a snowy
white silk handkerchief was showing
from his outside coat pocket.
Atwater, next to Walter Shean,
is the States star witness-its
trump card in the game in which
Chapman's liz eforms the stake.
Other Officers Testify
His testimony was led up to by
evidence from other police officers
who described the scene and told
of soeing Skelly come reeling out of
the darkness of the store after three
shots had been fired.
On cross-examination Atwater
readily admitted that the shot which
Skelly probably was intended for
him.
AS the cross-examination went on,
the defense brought out that At
water had told a storekeeper in New
Britain that he never would be able
to identify the man who shot
Skelly.
Il just told him that to get rid
OF him." was Atwater's explana-
ton of the statement.
"Under the Counter"
The death-bed statement of Skelly
that Walter Shean and not Chap
man had shot him was referred to.
Atwater admitted that he knew of
the statement and that although he
knew Shean did not shoot Skelly,
he made 20 effort to refute state
ments that Ehean was the assassin
when he tectified in previous court
hearing.
Where wsre you when the shots
were fired?" lhe ocsense asked.
Under a counter in the store, "
answered aiwater.
