Suicide of tli« JVSur«l«r«r

Sydney, November 18,

Intense sensation has bean caused in the city, owing to the murder by Arthur Dacre, a well known actor, of his wife Amy RoselSe, followed by his own suicide. The tragedy ia surrounded by most pathetic circumstances. The couple were lodging in Macquarie Street, where the crime took place late lasb night. For some time pasb they had been engaged playing with Leitch's company afc the Theatre Royal, the couple taking the leading parts in the "Land of the Moa.'* They appeared on Saturday night, but neither were in the best health, and had not attended rehearsals for the new piece " The Silenca of Dean Maitland," which was to have been pat on to-night. For the past) week they had been closely absorbed reading for the new play, and were confined to their rooms all day yesterday. They took their meals in a room adjoining the bedroom, and were not seen by any of the inmates. At a late hoar noise was heard in the room as if a quantity of crockery was being broken. Some minutes elapsed and then the bell rang violently. The housemaid answered, but could Dot open the door. She heard deep and dreadful moans in side, and entreated Daere to admit her. He was heard to say he could not, and then in moro distinct tones '* Break the door in, and come in." The girl im mediately ran for Mr Hinton, who with another gentleman effected an entrance from the balcony, 'as the door open ing from the corridor was locked. Dacrd was »ot dead, bat expired soon after. Mrs Dacre was lying on the bed dressed in her nightgown, as if shot In the bed There wa« a sheet of note paper, blood srained, and written up>n after irhe double oeed was committed It ran God, let us die together. I thoneht there was a last shot.' Dacre was standing in the middle of the room wearing a suit of pyjamas A six chambered revolver, loaded, from which two shots had been recently fired, was found, and also a razor covered with blood, which was lying >n the washing basin. Dacre seems to h*ve acted mßt-hodically throughout the dreadful tragedy. He apparently shot his wife before he broke the ciockery for the purpose of attracting attention. Then finding this had no effect he rang the bell, want into the bedroom and cut his throat. This theory is confirmed by the absence of blood marks in the dining room. He must next h&re scribbled the note and walked across the room and tried to unlock the door. The carpet from the washstand to the door is soaked with blood, and fchebedclothesbesmirched, as if Dacre had stood by the side of the bed to take his last farewell of hie wife. Fell light is thrown on the unfortunate man's state of mind by several letters he left addressed te Mr Leighton, who had been playing with him throughout the season in Sydney. On Saturday after noon Mr Leighton called upon them. They spoke of the state of their health, &ub said they would continue to act. They said nothing about financial troubles, but mentioned they were negotiating for a tour through New Zealand, and spoke hopefully of it. last niprht Dacre's man visited Leighton at the theatre, and delivered letters from his master, at the same tiffie informing Mr Leightou of the tragedy. The letters were dated yesterday, and read '* Dear Leighton —In the few letters I have written I have simply to ask friends to Bpeak of us as they have found us. I want to make as little fuss aa possible, and should like to say that in all the years I have been on the stage I have never missed a night's performance yet. I have loved my busineea as an actor, and I tried to follow it modestly and without conceit. We have really no absurd sentiment, but with my sweet wife's kisa on my lips and her full permission, I ask you to sell our clothes and trinkets except such as I have given away elsewhere, and bury us as cheaply, un ostentatiously, and quickly as possible, and without any nacce on our headstones : or, if you put; anything, you might simply put "A. A., they loved each other, and ia their death they were unwedded "

Thank you, dear boy, for your kindness. On second thoughts I think I had better pat a few pounds In this evelope for any expenses you may have. Take my last words as advice. Be anything—butcher, baker, or candlestick-maker, but get work at anything else than as an actor j 1 have told you over a pleasant pipe or two of my wife's life and her plucky noble career. You see the end. We are broken-hearted. God bless you, my boy. Do the best you can. In a second letter, after making reference to monetary, matters, he gays— *• So long aa I cottkl pay our way here respectably we were satisfied. Again, God bless you. Will you pub a photo of my wife, self, and baby, and also that of her mother, sister, and brother in my wife's cffin. I can hardly bear to part with baby's, but'my desr wife desires it, My baby's bible and a few little flowers that sweet little child brought me to-day in my own. Above all, if you have the slightest regard for me do nob want to make any fuss. We have simply tried to live plnckily in life, and at the business we both loved. We have filled, and I have had a rough time of it lately. Th&uking you for your kindness, I fervently pray you may have tetter times than we have had." Mrs Dacre was shot twice in the left breast, and death was instantaneous. Dacre's wound was of such a nature that he oould only have lived a very short time.

Later The persons to whom letters were addressed, fiiends or fellow players, Darce's dreseer states that at his request he went over the labter's part in the new play with him yesterday morning at his lodgings. He seemed in good spirits. Dacre spent the remainder of the day in writing, his wife lying in bed. la 'he evening he gave the dresser a number of letters to deliver. In interviews Mr Leighton, and others closely connected with the affair, ascribe the tragedy to the financial failure cf Dacre'f* late Australian tour, combined with ill.health. They were known to be in financial straits, and the generally accepted opinion ia that the tragedy was pre-arrangpd between them
