YOUNG GIRL
FACES TRIAL
FOR MURDER
ST. LOUIS, March 31 (by Associat
ed Press).—Examination of prospec
tive jurors to try Ursula Broderick,
18 years old, confessed slayer of her
father in 1916, on charges of bavfrig
killed her stepfather, Joseph F. Wood^
lock, April 14, 1919, was ordered to
begin in Juvenile Court here today.
At the Coroner’s inquest, the girl
testified she shot and killed Wood
* «?ock when he attempted to attack
her. Fearing him. she said, she had
slept with a revolver concealed in the
folds of her nightdress for several
weeks and when on April 14, he eamg.'
to her bedside and embraced her,
she drew the revolver and fired.
After the shooting, she surrendered
to the police and last May was in
dicted for first degree murder, but
has been at liberty under $5,000 bond.
Ursula Broderick was only 12 years
old in 1916 when she shot and killed
her father, Thomas F. Broderick.
In that case a coroner’s jury exoner
ated her after she had testified that
she shot him because he was beating
her mother and was about to strike
her with a hammer. Mrs. Woodlock
is charged jointly with her daughter
in connection with Woodlock’s death
^but will be tried later. Both Wood
lock and Broderick were plumbers.
Under the Missouri laws, if the girl
is Convicted of first or second degree
murder her punishment may be the
same as if she were an adult. The
minimum of 10 years in the peniten
tiary. If, however, she is convicted
of any degree of manslaughter, she
will be sent to an industrial school
until she is 21, it was explained.

“MYSTERY GIRL’’WITH
NEW STAR WILL BE
ATTRACTION TONIGHT
I
--
i
George Barr McCutcheon never
wrote a dry book nor an uninteresting
story. His vivid imagination, whim
sical and fantastic humor and roman
tic daring distinguish him from the
ordinary run of “best sellers.”
“Green Fency,” one of the best of
his short stories, like so many of his
romances, is staged in an imaginary
kingdom—Lurania. There is a wholly
charming Princess “Ted,” and around
her, as the “Mystery Girl,” the play
centers.
The screen adaption, which is en
titled “The Mystery Girl,” is said to
be even more fascinating and strik
ing than the original story. It af
fords the vehicle for the first intro
duction of Ethel Clayton, a Paramount
star, new to Cordova audiences, but
who will speedily become a prime fa
vorite, through the sincerity of her
work, her winsomeness and natural
grace. “The Mystery Girl” is being
shown at the Empress tonight, also a
Pictograph and comedy.
Word comes from Washington that
Delegate George B. Grigsby is work
ing on a bill for a modification of the
terms, rules and regulations under the
oil land leasing law so as to make
them more liberal so far as Alaska is
concerned.
