DYING MAN TELLS
OF FIVE MURDERS
LikeabIe Carpenter by Day,
Was Thief and Slayer
After Dark.
By the Associated Press.


JOLIET, Ill, January 3O.-Oscar
Otto johnson, a notorious criminal by
night and 4 respectable working
man by day, made a death-bed con-
fession Of triple murder here to-
day. and recalled a double killing In
New York few years ago.
He admitted in a signed confession
the triple fatal shooting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry w. Jeske and their six
year-old son at their Batavia, H.,
farm. December II. which remained
an unsolved crime until today. Fatal
bullet wounds from a patroiman's re,
volver caused Johnson's death.
Carlson lived in two rooms.
Attired in overalls and shabby
overcoat, ne left his rooms each
morning to do his days work as q
carpenter, or at least so believed the
good people residing near him.
Change Came At Night.
With the coming Of night, how
ever, Carlson became johnson and
his occupation shifted from carpen-
ter to that of burglar.
The genial little man with the
blond hair and silky moustache WAS
transformed into q machine of death.
Armed with two reyolvers johnson
roamed night after night through the
streets of Joliet. Aurora, Kankakee
and Galesburg, entering home after
home, and then, on the night OF De-
cember IL, shot down a man, woman
and little boy, apparently with little
regret.
Calmly entering the automobile
which a few moments before ha
been used by the happy Henry w.
Jeske family, returning from a
| Christmas shopping expedition. John
son drove to West Chicago, and the
following day the ikeable Mr.. Carl
son was back at his home on North
Collins street with his cheerful hello
for the children OF the neighborhood.
Shot BY Policeman.
4 few nights later he resumed the
personality of Johnson and entered
more homes, and continuing to do SO
until Wednesday night, when he was
laid low by bullet from the re-
yolver Of Motor Cycle Policeman
Michael Cassidy.
Before he died johnson told the
police of his two-room apartment.
A worn Bible with ITO L. Peter
Carlson from Anna" inscribed on the
fiy-leaf, receipted dentists and rent
bills made out to Carlson and few
broken beads and a small medal were
the only articles found In the apart
ment.
Johnson will be buried at the eX-
pense of the county, as he was pennl-
less when captured and as far as Is
known has no relatives.
