CENTRAL FIGURE
" INCRIME MIXUP
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.—The most
thoroughly tangled case in recent po
lice annals of Los Angeles, with Nor
man Selby, “Kid” McCoy of prize ring
fame, as its central living figure and
Mrs. Theresa W. Mors, divorced wife‘
of a wealthy antique dealer, shot tol
death tonight, claimed the attention
of the Los Angeles police squad. !
McCoy, dazed wand incoherent, is
held by the police on suspicions ot
murder.
Albert Mors divorced hushand of
the dead woman, also has been located
after a frantic search for him follow
ing the discovery of Mrs. Mors’ body
this morning.
The ex-pugulists, nine times a hus
band, and who, common report said,
was planning to make Mrs. Mors his
tenth wife ,in the first hour after his
arrest would make only one state
ment and that was “he Kkilled the
only woman he ever loved.”
Later he varied it.
“She committed suicide last night,”
he mumbled. “First, I put her on the
davenport. Then I moved her on to
the floor.”
" Pistol Near Body
Detectives found what appeared to
be corroboration of this, a large blood
spot on the davenport and a smaller
one on the floor where the body was
found this morning by the apartment
house janitor. T '
Near the body was a 32-calibre au
tomatic pistol, and a bullet to fit it
was taken from the woman’s head l)y‘
police surgeons. Clasped in the hand
of the corpse was a photograph of the
ex-pugilist. They had been living at
the apartment as “Mr. and Mrs.
Shields.”
Shortly after the body was discov
ered McCoy threw the first complica
tion ‘into the case. :
Brandishing a .45-calibre pistol and
shouting incoherently, he appeared in
the residential district brokerage of
fice run by Sam Schapp and his wife,
Ann. William J. Ross, a New Yorker,
was standing by the counter. |
Orders Men to Disrobe
McCoy swearing to these three, pro
ceeded to rob them and ordered the
men to disrobe, apparently to block
pursuit.
Ross attempted to disarm the former‘
fighter and received two bullets ini
the thigh. McCo yfired four more
shots and slightly wounded Schapp
and his wife, then departed running.
As he fled across Westlake park,
his pistol fell from his pocket and a
patrolman arrested him. ‘
McCoy’s apartment was searched
and a note was found as follows:
“To whom it may concern: All my
belongings to go to my mother, Mrs.
Mary E. Selby, 6111 Mesa Drive. ‘
NORMAN SELBY” |
The note was dated Aug. 12.
Mrs. Mors was killed or committed
suicide about midnight of Aug. 12,
according to police surgeons.
---- More Complicating Evidence
Closer examination of Mrs. Mors’
body - revealed further complicating
evidence. The lip had been cut thru
as though by a heavy blow. There‘
were other cuts on the arm, indicating
a possible struggle. |
The bullet had entered her left tem
ple, ranging downward across the!
face and lodged in the right eye. |
McCoy was taken out to the scene!
of the death, but was unable or un-.
willing to throw any further light on
his previous unconnected statements.
Mrs. Mors and her husband had
been divorced recently. Then she
charged Mors with robbing the an
tique store of $5,000 in securities and
valuables while a property settlement
was being arranged.
Mors was brought into court sever
al times and last Monday his prelimi
nary hearing was set for Aug. 15. His
bail was fixed at $62,000 which he
furnished. :

INVINCIBLE CITY LEAGUE TOP
NOTCHERS COME OUT BEHIND
Upsetting all of the dope and every
thing else, the Giants, by hard playing
defeated the invincible Reds, whn‘l
have been leading the city lcague‘
seventeen to thirteen. Winning yes
terday’'s game put the Giants up u]
notch and makes them tied with the
Tigers for third place. 1
Both teams played well and the hit
ting by both sides was very creditable.
Something must have happened to the
Reds, because do as they could, they
could not hold down the hitting of
the Giant aggregation. The Giants
seemed determined to win at any cost.
Losing one game had no very bad ef
fects on the Reds, because they are
still far ahead of their nearest op
ponent.
A game between the Tigers and
White Sox is scheduled today,- and
the White Sox players declare they
will win. Come out and see it done.
