Wounded Girl Dies
Enid Adams, 16, a senior student at Grant high school, died yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock at the Portland sanitarium from a wound she inflicted on herself Saturday afternoon by firing a bullet near to her heart.
The tragedy occurred about 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon at her home, 310 East Thrity-ninth street North, and some two hours later the wounded girl was discovered by her mother, Mrs. Ruth Adams, who was just returning from work. A .32 caliber revolver had been used.
Enid did not give any information concerning the incident, refusing to tell even whether the shooting was accidental or done with suicidal intent. If the latter were the case ,she guarded her reasons until her death.
Teachers at Grant high school who knew her reported that her grades have always been above average. She had engaged in few student activities, and belonged to no student organizations, but teachers attached no significance to this, pointing out that if she had tended to be despondent because she was not in student organizations, she would hardly have waited until her senior term to show it.
Her mother, Mrs. Adams, could give no reason for the shooting, stating that her daughter enjoyed good health and did not worry about boy friends.
