Movie Shot Causes Fatal Heart Attack
When John Carradine, as Ford, shot Tyrone Power, as Jessie James, on the screen at the Circle Drive-In Theatre last night, the excitement caused Mrs. Eva Pearl Mitchell, 41, of 2701 Primrose Street, to have a heart attack, of which she died a short time later.
"Oh, my heart!" exclaimed Mrs. Mitchell to her husband, sitting with her in their car, as the shot rang out on the screen.
Mitchell drove her at once to the family physician, Dr. W.F. Shipp, at Lorena, who took remedial measures and sent her to Hillcrest Hospital in (a) Waco Funeral Home ambulance. She was dead on arrival at the hospital.
Mrs. Mitchell had been subject to heart attacks for some time. Both she and her husband worked for the Circle Goat Dairy.
Surviving Mrs. Mitchell are her husband, Dennis C. Mitchell, her mother, Mrs. Maudie Camp of Lorena; a sister, Mrs. Lizzie Sharp.
Funeral services will be in Bruceville Sunday [Oct. 7].
