" it ' 1 f | 1 ACTOR DYING VCTININ MORGUE Barry Johnstone, in Hospital _ Refuses to Divulge Reason \ for Slaying Kate Hassett, Leading Woman. PLAYED WITH MANSFIELD. Husband, from Whom She Was Separated, Notified of Her Fate —She Had an Extremely Bright Future Before Her. PHILADELPHIA, Dee. — Barry Johnstone, the actor, who came here from New York yesterday and wi murderous alm cost the life of Kate Hiagsett, leading woman of the Keith Bijou stock company in this city, ts stil] alive at Hahnemann Hospital His recovery, however, {s by no means certain, as the physicians, after nearly nine hours’ labor, were unable to locate the two bullets that Johnstone, who Is a former member of Richard Ma field's company, fired at his own hea Of a’ cot in the receiving ward the dying actor lies, perfectly conscious, yet refusing to make any statement. In 4n outer room awaits Policeman Ellen- der, of the ‘Tenth and Buttonwood stréets station, who is ready to place Johnstone in custody should he recover. None of the wounded actor's relatives have been heard from as yet The police gleamed the address of a brother In New York from a letter found in Johnstone's possession, but no one has called at the hospital in response to the telegram sent to this relative early his morning. *While Johnstone thus hovers between life and death at the hospital, the body of his victim lies on a slab at the morgue. No one had claimed It this morning up to the hour when the Cor- oner's deputy made his Inspection, and no -word had been received from any of Miss Hassett’s relatives. At the house, No. 631 Vine street, where the dead woman lodged, no in- formation could be obtained that would shed any Nght upon the motive for the tragedy. Only the servants were about and they were unuble to give any In- {formation that would ald in the investi- gation, Coroner's Physician Morton visited the morgue at 11 o'clock this morning and began a post-mortem examination of the niurdered woman, The course of the bullets was traced und the missiles were removed to be used as evidence against Johnstone in case he recovers. The weapon with which the shooting was done is now In the pos- ion of the police. It 1s a .38 calibre revolver and practically new. Every Chamber is empty. Three bullets struck the woman, after which Johnstone turned the weapon against his breast and sent the contents of the remaining chambers within an inch of his heart. Kate Hassett itr private life was Mrs, Mina Beckwith. She was thirty-five years old. Her husoand, from whom she was separated, is Everett Beckwith, said to be connected with the firm of Austin and Weston, Manhattan Building, Chi- cago. He has been informed by the po- lice of his wife's fate. The date for the inquest has not been fixed, pending John- stone's recovery or death. Though only a short time on the stage Mi ssett Was quite successful and hereprospects for the future were bright, She was the daughter of a St, Paui lumber merchant. A year ago she made her first-bow asa leading woman at the Broad Streer Theatre, this clty, In “The Last Appeal” and later toured the West in. “Mrs, Dane's Defense." She won much praise in both productions and her versatile ability prompted Manager Keith to engage her for his Philadelphia stock compan: Johnstone was well known throughout the country as an actor of classic and legitimate roles.
