William Tarriss, the Actor Assassinated

LondOn, December 16.-William TerrisS,
the we'll known actor, was assassinated,
being stabbed with a knife, as he was
entering the stage door of Adelphi thea
ire tonight. He had been playing in
London in the English version of Will
liam Gillette's American drama Secret
Service" AS the actor fell his murderer
was seized by people who we've outside
the theatre. The wounded man was car
ried into the theatre and doctors We're
called from the Charing Gloss hospital,
but Terriss expired in fifteen minutes.
The murderer was taken to Bowes po-
lice station, fCllCwed by an angry crowd.
His name was given as Archer. 1t is said
that he had been a super at the Adel-
phi theatre several years ago and for
some days past he has haunted the the
atre. The motive Of the crime is not yet
known. On being charged with murder
olent fund this morning and I am out of
it for life"
A member of the Adelphi company
says the assassin was known at the the
ordered off the premises last night he
mutte1ed moe yet" Others say that
Archer nu1sed a grievance against Mr..
Terriss even before he left his employ
stood in the wings and INDUCED in sar-
castle on Mr.. Terriss' acting,
such as Fools often succeed in life
where men of genius fail" The assassin
made NO attempt to escape. When seiz-
ed he offered to &C quietly to the police
station.
According to later accounts, Mr.. Ter
Kiss had alighted from a cab at the stage
door in Maiden Lane, used only by him
self and the principal members of the
company. Mr.. Gilbert Tate, the theatre
cal agent, met him at the door. The two
were sta nding and in conversation, and
Mr.. Terriss was just taking the door key
from his Pocket when his ~assailant dart
ed from the shade of a n~eighboring shop
and plunged the knife into his breast,
almost bearing him to the ground with
the savag e force of the blow. Mr.. Ter
Kiss dropped his glove and tried to seize
his assailant, who then dealt two more
stabs before the bystanders had time to
interfere. The murderer gives the name
of Richard Arthur Prince; but he was
known at the theatre as Archer. His
wife has been employed there as a dress
er. Since he left the Adelphi, Archer has
several times begged aid from the differ
ent theatrical funds of whose commit
tee Mr.. TerriSS was a member.

a rising vote of thanks to Mr.. Schurz.
