Two other detectives entered the
flat within a few moments after the
khooting but Hart died before he could

other detectives were keeping watch
over the garage In the expectation the
automobile robbers would return there
for a suitcase of plunder were in the
rear of the flat, waiting for the actual
rapture and. for a possible picture of
the man who was aouui iu u
prisoner.
Casella-. who lives In a flat on the
.T.i i ii.,r i ii7 wiihnsh avenue, told
Hart that the suitcase which Webb
wisiied to take was In the building. A
few minutes later Casella notified Hart
that Webb was going up the front
stairway of the flat building. Hart
hurried up the rear stairway and con
cealed himself In the parlor of the flat.
There was a knock at the door and
Casrlia. In whose flat the tragedy was

followed Is described by Casella as
follows:
-Hart suddenly confronted his man,
pinioned his arms and said: 'You'd bet-
'Looks that'way replied Webb, ap
parently giving up.
Fatal F.rror Quickly Mated.
"Hart kept the barrel of lila revol
ver against Webb's vest as he reached
around the prisoner to search him for
weapons. He discovered a tell-tale
bulge In the right hip pocket. Then
the detective made his fatal error. He
placed his own revolver upon the little
table In the room while he proceeded
to reach for Webb's revolver. The
moment Hart released his hold on his
own weapon Webb made a lunge for It.
overturning the detective and falling
on top of him."
The two men rolled over on the floor
while Casella. apparently too fright
ened or unwilling to render any as
sistance to the detective, stood In the
doorway and watched the proceedings.
In the desperate struggle that ensued
Hart finally got on top. He pinioned
one ot Webb s arms ander him. accord
ing to Casella's story, and lifted his
knees from the prostrate man's breast
to rise. Then by a superhuman effort.
Webb got hold of his revolver and fired
a shot that went wild and lodged In
the wall over the piano.
Hart Involuntarily sprang back. In
that Instant Webb was upon his feet
and fired a second shot. '
This-time the bullet passed through
the heart of his antagonist, killing him
Instantly.
Detective Joyce, attracted by the shot,
rushed up to the flat, but before he
reached it Webb had made his escape.
Late tonight no trace of him had been
obtained.

PLEA MADE BY WOM
MRS. SLINfiSBY ASKS THAT BOY
BE DKCLARED IAWFCL.
Letter Is Read In Trial of Doctor
Accused or Falsify-in Certifi
cate of Death.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 20. "I pray
n nn iti i- hunrleit knees, to Withhold
ludgment until you have seer! us," runs
a letter written by Mrs. Dorothy Moran
Cutler Slingsby to Dr. W. . snow, oec-
retary to the State Board or Heaun.
"Then, of course," the plea continues,
"you must do as your head dictates, al
though I feel that an adverse decision
would unseat my reason. I simply can
not stand more trouble and would
rather die than see my beautiful boy
branded as Illegitimate.'-
The letter Is dated Victoria, B. C
March J. 1912. but the Sllngsbys are
now In Kngland and have never come
to California to test the facts. Dr. Snow
turned the letter over to the District
Attorney's office today for use in lie
trial of Dr. W. W. Kraser. of Weaver
vllle. who is accused of falsifying a
public certificate of death In order that
the illegitimate cniid oi Ionian Anoer
son might pass as the child of Ueuten
ant Slingsby and become heir to an
estate.
. "I reallie." writes Mrs. Slingsby.
"that an awful responsibility rests on
vour shoulders as the evidence on the
other side would seem almost conclu
sive to one who did not know us."
District Attorney Fickert has other
specimens of Mrs. Slingsby-S writing,
which he will compare with the origi
nal, one an advertisement for a new
born baby published a day or two pre
vious to the date of the birth certifi
cate signed by Dr. Fraser.
