Girl is Shot; She Denies Wounding Herself
Mother, However, Says Victim Was Despondent; Had Threatened Life
With a gunshot wound in her left side, Miss Doris Dufilho of 929 Aline street, staggered to the sidewalk and collapsed in the arms of a neighbor shortly after noon Wednesday. She is in Charity Hospital believed to be mortally wounded.
Mrs. Noe Miller, of 925 Aline street, and John Mahne, of 3502 Laurel street, heard the shot and dashed to the Dufilho house in time to see her leave the front of the house with blood streaming down her clothes.
She Denies Shooting
In terrible pain at the hospital, she talked hazily to police officials, often contradicting herself.
Ashamed that her mother works for a living, she urged the police officials not to mention it.
“It was not suicide,” she declared. “I don’t know who shot me.”
They questioned her further and she answered weakly. They were unable to gain a confession that she shot herself.
“Did you have a pistol?” they asked her.
“Yes,” she said. “I had one in the house, but I didn’t shoot myself. I don’t know who did it. I am in so much pain I hardly know what I’m saying.”
Mother Says Suicide
Captain Theodore Ray helped to lift her into the ambulance.
“Who shot you?” he asked her.
“I don’t know,” she told him.
“Did you shoot yourself?” she was asked.
“No,” she said.
Then the ambulance drove away to the Charity Hospital. At first physicians refused to allow the police to talk with her, saying that it might cost her life. The bullet from a .38 caliber pistol entered her left breast and passed through her body near the heart.
Despite her daughter’s denials, the mother, Mrs. Ida Dufilho, who was notified of the tragedy while she was at work at the Naval Station, said Doris often had threatened to kill herself and had told her recently that she had a pistol.
“It was suicide,” said the mother, “I feel sure of that.”
Asked for a motive, the mother said the girl had appeared to be melancholy for a long time, although she had had no love disappointment and had not been ill.
Was Pretty Girl
“Just melancholy,” she said.
Doris Dufilho was very proud and appeared to feel ashamed that her mother was forced to earn a living. It is believed this may have worn on her mind.
The sister, Gertude Dufilho, also is employed. Doris is a clerk for the express department of the Southern Railway at the Terminal Station. She went home about 12 o’clock from her office and was to have returned at [?] o’clock.
There was no one in the house at the time of the shooting, as far as could be ascertained. Neighbors who heard the shot saw no one leave.
Doris Dufilho is an exceptionally pretty girl of 20 years.
