MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDIES.
Developments in the Case Of the Death Of
Fanny CARTWRIGHT


Fanny Cartwright
CHICAGO, Nov. pa remarkable deyel-
opment was added to-day to the mystery
surrounding the death of actress Fanny
Cartwright. whose body was found some
time ago In lonely railroad yard, where,
according to the belief of many the corpse
had been dragged after the woman was
murdered to cause the appearance
of accidental death. John Beatty, in
whose company the woman was last seen
alive, las refused up to tonight 10 admit
his guilt. A singular circum stance now
brought 10 light , it is thought, may unseal
his lips. 1t appears that he was arrested
seven years ago for almost an exactly SINH
lar crime, the killing Of one Amelia Olsen.
The tragedy was never explained. She, like
Fanny, was handsome and lived in the same
part Of the city. The Olsen girls body was
found In an unfrequented prairie and was
evidently dragged some distance. 1t was
evident she had been engaged in a struggle.
Beatty, who was arrested, had his face badly
scratched. He refused, as in the present case,
to make explanations, but his mother came
forward with story of quarrel between
himself aud his sister. lie is known to
have been acquainted with Amelia Olsen,
and is said to have boasted of his relations
with Fanny Cartwright.

About II o'clock last night an individual
known as Mick the Greek" went into Mrs.
Maggie Kelly's beer saloon at Montgomery
avenue and jackson street. where he
emptied bottle Of vitriol over the person
of Miss Kittie Ennis of Tehama street.
Nick then put the cork into the bottle and
made good his escape in the wilds of Bar

waiter in the aforementioned place, was
severely burned upon the polonaise and
few drops of the fiery LIQUID fell on her
hands.

Nick's diabolical deed About one month
ago Nick blew in from the country with a
canvas sack
The sack was nearly foot long and con-
tanned $500 in gold. Nick sought out the
fair kittie in her abode of beer and pro-
ceedet to lavish his affections upon her,
also his gold. When the bottom of the sack
was reached Kittie had no use for Nick and
his affections. So. in the parlance of the
Coast, ''She gave him the cold shake" Nick
resented this proceeding by amounting the
wardrobe of the only girl he ever loved with

After dinner of turkey and sour wine

blows, and then the bar-keeper took hand

In doing so he pitched Peter on top of his
friend, Minas. who at once seized him In an
embrace that was far from being loving
one, for he sank his teeth into Minas'
shoulder and made him howl with pain.
Minas retaliated by trying to eat Peter. At
