Skull CRUSHED IN
ASSAULT ENDS LIFE
Charles Carr, Battered In
Police Station Basement,
Dies In Hospital
CONDITION OF TWO
OTHERS FAIR TODAY

Charles Carr. aged 60 years, Of
Philadelphia, whose skull was frac-
tured by Webb Jett, colored. as he
lay asleep in the basement Of the pc
lice station early Sunday morning,
when Jett went insane died at the
Delaware Hospital shortly after one
o'clock this morning. The death OF
the aged man had been expected ever
since he was battered with an iron
bar and admitted to the institution,
the skull being crushed and a large
piece of the bone pressing into the
brain. The physicians there on Sun
day morning thought that Carr would
mot live an hour after he was admit
ted.
Carr. who was the last Of FIVE men
to be assaulted by Jett in the base
ment of the police station, lapsed into
unconsciousness shortly after being
admitted TO the hospital. Before he
died he managed to tell his name and
age. but his address is unknown.
Physicians shortly after he was ad-
mitted decided TO perform an opera
ton, as a last resort. It was known
that he could not survive his wounds
but it was thought. best to make an
endeavor to lift the bone pressure
from the brain in the attempt to save
him. The operation was performed.
but Carr never regained conscious
ness. The body was removed to the
morgue where it is being held until
some one claims it.
The condition of the other two men
whose skulls we're fractured at the
same time by Jett. Adolph Rider and
Tony Koskenski, was reported to be
fair early this afternoon.
Jett is confined at the State Hospi-
tai for the Insane at Farnhurst where
he was removed on Sunday. The au-
thorities are endeavoring to learn
something Of his early life. and they
have communicated with the author
tiles Of Bentonville, Virginia, his old
home.
