Bi other Friends of the Dead Wo

Persecuting- Her for nt Least a
Week.
By I'tduslic Wire (rum Ihe Aisod-ikd l'rcss
Philadelphia, Dee. 2. Developments
todiiy in the minder of Kate Hnsbctt, of
Keith's IJIJou Theater Stock company,
who was shot and killed last night by
TJ.it ry Johnstone, an actor, foimetly
with Rlchaul Mansdold's company, in
dicate that the cilme was premeditated.
Johnstone, who after he had shot the
woman, attempted suicide, Is tonight In
u. critical condition. The hospital sur
geons intended performing an opera
tion upon him this afternoon, but the
wounded man's condition was such as
to necessitate a postponement. At the
hospital tonight It was stateel that
Johnstone was much weaker than at
any time since he leceived the self-inflicted
wound and his chances of lecov
eiy weie less blight. He Is in possess
ion of all his faculties and during the
day ho occasionally made Inquiries con
cerning Miss Hasctt. Each time he
was given an evasive reply.
Johnstone's sister and biother auhed
lieie today and spent most of the even
ing with their bt other. Ills mother is
ex'pected ' lieie tonight or tomoirow.
Kverett Beckwilh. husband of the mur
dered actiess, has ent woid to this
citv that he Is on his way east fiom
Chicago and expects to arrive some
time tomorrow. It is also reported
that Michael Hassett, father of Miss
Hassett, is enioute fiom Aurora, 111.,
to assist in arranging- for his daugh
ters funeial.
The police learned today that shortly
aftei Miss HasseL had loft her board
ing house for the theater last night,
Johnstone- forced an entrance into her
apartments. He can led a coll of rope
which he attached to a post of the
actress' bed. The police believe it was
the muiderer's intention to await the
return of Miss Hassett and shoot her
in her loom, hoping to make his escape
thiough a window by means ot the
rope. His presence In the room was
discovered by other boarders. They as
seit that the actor was greatly excited
and that he bad torn into shreds all
of the woman's clothing which ho found
in the room. Tearing that he meant to
harm tho actress tho boaidets Inter
cepted her at the door of the house nnd
related what had transphed. As Miss
Hassett turned to seek other quatters
for the niglit, Johnstone, it is said,
lushed from the houso and joined her.
They had not proceeded far befoio he
shot her and then turned the weapon
upon himself.
A Eaiewell Letter.
Tire following letter, addressed to
Robeit II, Johnstone at Syiacttse, N.
Y., was lound In Johnstone's clothing:
"Dear Rob: Ihrclosed I send you a
check oils the Kxcelslor Savings bank
for the sum of $280. 1 wnnt mother and
youiself to have all my effects, clothes,
trunks, etc. Bury me Inexpensively
wherever seems most fit. Clod bless all,
and be good nnd true to all the woild,

Tho letter was dated December 1, and
was written on a letterhead of tho
Clarendon hotel, New York. Accom
panying it 'was a brief note addiessed
to tlio cashier of the suvlngn bank, In
structing him to give to the w liter's
biother tho amount of his deposit.
Friends of the dead woman say John

least a week, nnd that sho frequently
expressed the fear that evil might be

The acquaintance of Miss Hnssott

OFFICER'S DESPERATE
FIGHT WITH BURGLAR
Policeman Carroll nnd George Dickin
son Struggle for Over an Hour.
Both Men in Hospital.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated PrtM
Philadelphia, Dec. 2. The
police rto-
night divulged the Identity of a mv.s
tetlous prisoner who has been under
surveillance at a hospital since last
Tuesday night, when he was arrested
by Policeman Carroll, after a desper
ate encounter lasting over an hour.
The man Rave his name ns Charles
Westcott, but admitted It was an alias,
adding that when his identity was dls
coveied it would occasion much sur
prise. After diligent Investigation the
detective department learned that
"Weste,ott" is in reality George Dick
inson, a notorious burglar, who has
been in prison in Charleston, S. C,
Trenton, N. J., Boston, and this cJty.
Dickinson is also junior member of the
firm of Weyl & Dickinson, of this city,
manufacturers ot novelties in shirts
and waists. The partnership, however,
has existed only about two months.
Late last Tuesday night Policeman
Carroll observed Dickinson acting sus
piciously on the fiont piazza of a West
Philadelphia residence. In answer to
questions by the patrolman. Dickinson
said ho had escorted a. young woman
home and was about to leave. This did
not satisfy Canoll, who attempted to
arrest Dickinson. The latter struck the
officer in the face and attempted to es
cape. Carroll (lied five shots after the
fleeing man, and Dlcklnsoivfretunrlng,
grappled with his pursuer.
Dm ing the encounter the burglar se
em ed possession of Carroll's revolver
aiuUshot the pollcepian in the. foot.
Both men are powerful, and for moio
than an hour they struggled to gain
the mastery. Canoll Anally bore his
opponent to the ground just ns assist
ance ar rived. Then he fainted fiom
loss of blood and exhaustion. Dickin
son's body was a mass of bruises, and
his hands nnd face were terribly lacer
ated as a result of the beating admin
istered by Carroll. Both men have since
been In a hospital.
Duiing their investigation the detec
tives uueaithed Dickinson's room nnd
recovered from the apartments $2,C0O
worth of sllvetware, jewehy and bric-a-brae.
Seventeen pet sons, whose homes
have lecently been robbed, have Identi
fied portions of this booty as their
property. Yesterday a dress suit ease
belonging to Dlekinson was found at
his office. It was filled with mutilated
silverware and contained, in addition,
two jeweler's crucibles and scoies of
skeleton kes, the latter evidently made
by Dickinson,
Mr. We.vl told the detectives that ho
has known Dickinson for n, period of
two years, having at one time em
plojed him as a salesman. Dickinson,
Mr. Weyl said, suggested that they
form a partnership and about two
months ago the firm was established.
