Dorotli) KliingFon, Slayer of

State Hospital.
Faints as Verdict Read
Sail Francisco, Cal.. April 9.—Sev
enteen-year-old Dorothy Fllllngson.
tile pretty bronze-haired girl, whose
pursuit of jazz and joy culminated
lost January In a quarrel, in which
she killed her mother in a bedroom
of their home, was taken to the state
asylum for the Insane at Napa, Cal.,
tonight. Shortly before noon a jury
in superior court adjudged her insane.
Thus the murder charge against the
young matricide was shelved. The
jury impaneled to try the case, ex
cused until next Monday, will he for
^ mally dismissed then and the matter
v ill be placed on the “deferred" calen
dar, perhaps for all time. Should
she ever be pronounced sane, the
murder charge may be revived.
The girl had been bitterly opposed
in the sanity proceedings launched by
her attorney. She denounced them
in open court, once threatened to
choke one of them for “telling lies,"
and another time threw water at
them. Yesterday she testified as a
witness for the prosecution, calm,
clear, attired in her best, determined
to persuade the jury that the asser
vion of insanity was unfounded.
Faints at Verdict.
Today, when the verdict was an
nounced after but 45 minutes of de
liberation, she fainted without utter
ing a sound. When she was revived
she sobbed convulsively In the firms
of jail matrons and was not able to
leave the rftom for half an hour.
Tills afternoon she was brought
into court for the final formality of
commitment. She had regained her
composure and sat stolidly while
Judge Harold l.ouderback. pronounced
the few words- committing her. The
procedure required less than three
minutes. Within another hour she
was on her way to the state Institu
tion at Napa.
The girl's attorneys. Alexander
Mooslin, chief counsel; Sylvester J.
McAtee and Walter McGovern, issued
a statement In which they said:
“When we first entered upon the
defense of Dorothy Ellingson we were
immediately impressed with the fact
that she was possessed of a very tin
■**’ sual mentality. She failed to co-op
mite with us from the beginning. A
- nutit naturally arose ill our minds ns
in her mental condition, and wc
thereupon sought the advice of lead
ing psychiatrists and alienists. After
a great number of physical and men
131 ie«!s these scientists came to the
conclusion that the defendant was in
sane.
•'Great Victory."
The verdict at the hands of the
special jury I* the greatest victory
for the scientific treatment of ahnor
mal persons ever recorded in C^ll
fornla. It will mean the beginning of
a new era in the treatment of those
who are mentally sick.
“WhilJ the charge of murder
against her probably will not be dis
missed. we do not anticipate that she
will ever be called upon to face a
jury on that charge. From the in
formation furnished us. it will be
many years, if ever, before she Is
cured of her present mental condi
tion."
The sanity Jury contained nine men
and three women. The verdict requlr
ing ail agreement of nine, was voted
by 11. One mail dissented.

Incident (dosed.
Columbus. O . April Hn! Dona
hey, 19-year-old son of Governor 'To
Donnbev. was home tonight and the
episode which linked his name ■with
that of Gillian Vogel. 15 year-old
Zanesville (0.1 school girl, was closed.
In the probate court at Zanesville
Judge Clarence Graham found young
Donahey technically guilty of con
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor and fined him $ 1 r*0 and costs.
He also was placed under the juris
diction of the court until he becomes
of age.
Miss Vogel, who disappeared from
Zanesville Sunday night and was
found in a local rooming house Wed
nesday by Mrs. Donahey, was -placed
on probation.
Miss Vogel came to Columbus with
Hal late Sunday nighr after he had
spent the afternoon and evening with
her and another couple. When qu"s
tinned regarding the disappearance
of the girl he denied knowledge of
hs*r whereabouts saying he had let
her out of his ne-sv roadster at her
home and not until he was confront
ed with the girl at the executive
mansion did he change his story.
Judge Graham said he was con
vinced there had been no impropriety
In the conduct of the couple.
The judge told young Don8h<"
that he fined him principally because
he did not tell the truth about the
affair at first.
Governor Donahey’s only comment
on the affair was: "1 am grieved over
the episode and l hope I he public will
be fair in its judgment."

Brief in Supreme
Court on Tax Case
—
Appeal Taken Upon lest
Suit* \"ain*l Newspapers
for Publication of In
come Tax Return*.
By t'niversal Service,
Washington. April 9.—The govern
ment filed Its brief in the supreme
court today in support of its appeal
of two test suits lost in the lower
courts, seeking to penalizj newspa
pers for publishing income tax re
turns.
James M. Beck, solicitor general,
prepared the brief on behalf of the
Department of Justice. His main
contention is that, although the new
revenue law makes Income tax pay
ments available to public Inspection,
ibe phrase “available to public inspec
tion1' does not impart a right to pub
lish the returns.
“( rime Under l.avt.”
The brief applies to the case of the
l.'nited States against Walter S.
Dickey and Ralph Kills, publishers of
the Kansas City Star, and c*f the
I nited States against the Baltimore
Post. It sets forth that in both cases
the facts at e the same, the newspa
pers having published the names of
certain taxpayers and the amount of
income taxes paid.
The brief states that it cannot be
doubted that prior to the enactment
of subdivision B of section 257 of the
revenue act of 1924 such publication
"was under the law a crime.”
It points out that section 31R7 of
the revised statutes, which was re
enacted in 1924, makes it “unlawful
for any person to print or publish in
any manner whatever not provided
v‘ law. any income tax return or any
part thereof.
. Open Only for View.
I The only exception to that general
rule of law, the brief points out, is the
.act that subdivision B of the new
revenue law requires the commis
sioner of Internal rev euue each year
| to make “available to public inspc
tlon" merely mean* "open t/» all to
■ examine and view. ' but not open for
| publication. The brief adds:
“It is not thought a reasonable
construction of a statute to say that
print or publish' was intended by
congress to b* expressed in the term
'available to public Inspection’ when
it would have teen just as easy, and
In strict accordance with other uses
of the word ’publish' to say publish.'
if that was meant.”
VISITING ALIENS
DESIRE TO REMAIN
Washington. April 9.—Aliens coir,
ing to the l r.itei States to vi*:t and
finding the country so much to their
liking that they want to make their
homes here, have become one of the
chief concert * of the Immigration
bureau.
These aliens are besieging the bu
reau with re- jests for extension? of
their leave to remain here, many ex
plaining that sine their arrival they
have found work and like it so well
they don't want to go home.
Their enthusiasm, however, oftei
prove* their own undoing for under
the Immigration laws the bureau is
required to depart su. h aliens when
they go to work after oeing admitted
as visitors.
The only methods by which these
aliens can attain permission status i
officials said, is for them to returnj
to their homes abroad and return to!
this country under the immigration
quota.
