New York, Dec. 28.—Brooklyn’s keen-
est detectives are puzzled for a solu
tion ol the mysterious shooting ot
Theresa McCarthy, aged ten, In her
home Tuesday. Today they took note
of the slightly upward course of the
.22-calibre bullet that pierced her
disclosed by ths autopsy
inclined more to the theory
that another child was responsible
for the trtgedy.
The deduction was that the bullet’i
course would heve been downward
older and taller person fired
the shot.
The mother of the child waa unable
to aid the police in identifying any
person whom she thinks may have
called to see Theresa while abe was
alone in the day time.
New York, Dec. 28.—Mors than
thirty-six hours after they begin their
investigation, the polics last night
confessed themselves baffled in their
search for a solution of circumstances
surrounding the death of Teresa Mc
Carthy, 10-year-old school girl, whose
body with a .22 caliber bullet through
the heart was found in a toy Uttered
om of her home Tuesday.
The Investigation after the police
had laboriously dissipated a half dozen
nebuions cines, lifted down to two
theories. >“• .
The first, the one considered the
most creditable by the poUce, was th
the child bad been accidentally ah
by a playmate who had been giien
gun ot small caliber as «, Christmas
present.
The second theory which the police
say they had little faith in,
the child wbb shot down by a sailor
of whom Theresa and several of her
girl friends complained several weeks
declaring that he had annoved
them.
An autopsy yesterday by Medical
Examiner Norris, provided the princi
pal grounds for the theory of acciden
tal death- The medical examiner de
clared the girl had not been attacked.
The .22 caliber soft-nosed bullet that
passed through the heart, he found,
went straight through the body, indi
cating that the gun muzzle waz
level with the child’s breast af
time of the explosion. Powder marks
the clothing Indicated that the shot
had been fired at close range
More than one hundred boys living
the neighborhood of the McCarthy
home were questioned by detectives in
search for one who might have r
ceived a .22 caliber pistol or rifle as
Christmas gift.
The police also re-examined the
girl’s father, Edward McCarthy,
painter and a war veteran, who had
been separated from the girl’s mother,
Mrs. Pauline McCarthy, for several
years. They declared that he had suc
cessfully accounted for his actions on
Tuesday.
