NORTON STILL
UNCONSCIOUS
Man Who, Police Say, Killed
Minneapolis Woman in .Ho-
tel Room, May Die

st. Paul, Nov. 29.-(AP). M. A.
Norton, formerly Of Prescott, Ore,
and Winona, Mimi, who was found
wounded in hotel rooo;n here yes
terday, was reported unconscious
and near death from bullet wound
in his head, inflicted, police say,
after he had killed Mrs. Lillian
Shackelford, 40, of Minneapolis.
While police awaited Norton's re-
turns to consciousness to question
him, relatives of Mrs. Shackelford,
including her two daughters, de-
clared that Norton was an unsuc-
cessful sutton for the slain woman's
love, and had lured her to st. Paul
for a "show down" which ended in
her death.
Suicide Pact Theory Secuted
Relatives secuted a police theory
that there was suicide pact be-
tween Mrs. Shackelford and Nor
ton. Mrs. Roy Thompson. Of Mime
apolis, the slain woman's sister, said
that Norton had asked his victim to
60 to st. Paul With him Sunday to
meet some of his relatives.
They registered at the hotel Sum
day afternoon, and the murder and
attempted suicid. was discovered
early Monday morning, when . clerk
found the door Of their room ajar
and walked in after he had received
no response to his knocks. Mrs.
Shackelford lay on tn bed, shot
through the head, while Norton was
on the floor.
Forced Attention on Her
According to Mrs. Thompson, her
sister met Norton at dance about
year ago, and since then he had
forced his attentions on her, de-
clared his love for her, and asked
her to marry him. Mrs. Shackel-
ford, whose husband is dead, re-
fused, Mrs. Thompson said.
Mrs. Thompson held the theory
that Norton, disappointed and dis.
gruntled, determined to force Mrs.
Shackelford to marry him, and ar
ranged the trip to st. Paul to '"havc
it out"
Norton has a wife and a daughter
living in Winona, but he has not
lived with them for eight years.
