William Morse, known as “Black- face Billy Morse,” died of pneumonia Sept. 23 at Stern’s Sanatarium, New York, after an illness of only a week. The deceased had been with “A Night in the Trenches." He was 31 years of . age. About three weeks ago Mr. Morse was mistaken by a New York police officer for someone the officer was looking for.
