Sister.in.LaW at Devon.

philadelphia, June 26.-Miss Hattie
NJ. Watson, sister-in-law Of Frederick
+ Hastings. a well-to-do resident Of
Devon. q suburb, was shot md killed by
Jerry Thomas, negro butler, at the
Hastings home to-day. The servant fed
n a harm and committed suicide. An
investigation by the Delaware County
authorities failed to reveal motive for
the crime, and a coroner's jury rem
dered a verdict that the murderer had
gone insane. %, ,
The negro shot Miss Watson during
q struggle. Thomass wife, who is also
emnloyed in the Hastings home, came
on the scene as Miss Watson was try
inc to escape. Before the buffers wife
could interfere he shot Miss Watson,
dragged the body to the porch and
then ran from the place. Later Ihom-
ass body was found hanging IN a
nearby barn with bullet in the head;
Miss Watson, who was formerly OF
Northampton, Mass, was about my
wears old, and had been making her
home with her brother-in-law and SIS
ter for some years. She was known 10
be of a quiet disposition and not gwen
to quarrelling with the servants ae-
cording to relatives. e.
One theory advanced as a cause for
the murder is that Miss watson may
have reported the butler for something
he had not done properly. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hastings, who were away from nome
when the shooting occurred, SAID tnat
tho butler had been Of an inohensive
disposition and had never caused 'he

A retired patrolman, who when ne
took off the uniform for the last tim1'
five years ago, counted five stripes on
his sleeve, stood out in front OF the
prandstand of the Gravesend racetracS
Yesterday afternoon, watching the
members of the department-amohs
them his two sons-go through the be-
wildering programme that made up the
first day of the Police Department Ath-
letic Carnival.
As the recruits from the School OF
Instruction, the daredevil horse riding
stunts, the police dogs, and the clean
cut runners. passed in front of him, he
stared. In his face appeared the light
of unbelief.
"And these fellows arc cops, eh y

athletes. They must be ringers As
good as was when | was young fell
low. | couldn't do that stuff. II we
had been asked to go through those
stunts twenty-five years ago, wed nave
quit"
And the opinion of the oldtimer was
shared by every one of the 2S,0OO peo-
ple that crowded the racetrack. 1t was
almost unbelievable that the men who
contributed to the programme, the Ike
of which has never before been pre-
sented, were the men who patrol the
streets Of the city. Showing the best
of athletic condition, and a military
training that would reflect credit on a
crack regiment of regulars, the blue
coats justified Commissioner Woods s
expression: "The best body of men in
the world"
Crowds Arrive Early.
As early as noon the crowd began 70
pour into the racetrack. By 1880, wher
the first event started, every seat ir
the grandstand-built TO accommodate
$4,000 persons-was taken. BY
o'clocl. the field and track were overrur
