THE GROSS MURDER.
COLOURED THEATRICALS. (Received 13, 8.0 a.m.) London, December 12. Frank Crain, a coloured pugilist, has been arrested as an accessory to the Gross murder. The evidence showed that Gross and he purchased a revolver the day before the murder. A London cablegram of December 1 stated that after a convivial gathering of negro music hall performers at Bloomsbury, in the early morning a negro woman shot dead on the staircase Jessie Mackintosh, an English actress, who was living with the assailant’s husband. When the party rushed upstairs the negress pointed a revolver at her husband, but the cartridges were exhausted. The husband took shelter in a bedroom and the woman rushed into the street. Negroes pursued and captured her after an exciting chase and handed her over to the police.
