MASON HELD FOR MURDER
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS IN
BOSTON's "SLUGGER, CASE.
Watches That Belonged to Miss Clara
Morton and Miss Agnes McPhee
Recovered.

BOSTON, Nov. 6.-To-day's developments
in the case Of Alan c. Mason, who is under
arrest charged with the murder of Miss
Clara Morton, a laundress at the Mclean
Asylum, in Waverly last Saturday night,
have been of a stai ling nature. 1t was
announced first that the watch Of the
victim had been found in a Cambridge
street pawn shop, where ii had been
pawned for 81 by a colored man, and this
discovery at once led to fruitless search
of the city for this man by the entire
police force. But later developments were
far more sensational. When the pawn
brokers' memory had been logged and he
had ha6 time to think over the matter,
he remembered that the watch had been
brought to his office on last Saturday night
between the hours of IL and 1:30 by
white man and offered in pawn. Owing
to the fact that ii was after business
hours, he refused to receive ii and after
expressing disa ppointment, the man de-
parted. taking the watch with him.
On Monday morning the same watch was
brought in by colored man, from whom
the pawnbroker bought ii. burly colored
man, evidently companion of the other,
had been waiting outside the shop while
as it was completed, he entered and took
the money which the proprietor had passed
over. Both men then departed.
GERS made another startling discovery
which will have important bearing
the case, to the effect that the watch of
Miss Agnes McPhee, of Somerville, an
other Jack the Slugger" victim, had been
pawned at the same Cambridge-street shop
on Oct. 8. the day after her murder, by
a white man. whose description tailed eY-
actly with. that of the man who brought
the Morton watch to the pawnbroker's s
last Saturday night. The description of
this man is said by the police to tally to
striking extent with that of the suspect
Mason, and the pawnbroker will be given
a chance to identify him, If possible, as
his visitor.
The unexpected developments to-day have
been most unfavorable to the prisoner, al
though his friends still say that he can
fully establish an alibi. Search for the
mysterious colored man is being carried
on as vigorously as ever and all sections
of the city are being closely watched by
the police tonight. Two days ago the
state police arrested A. G. Mason, a wealthy
business man and club member of Boston,
on the suspicion that he killed Miss Nor
ton After days investigation the au-
| thorities were convinced that Mason could
establish an alibi, and they announced that
| he would be released. but during the sue
ceeding night witnesses were found who
positively identified Mason as one whom
| they had in Waverley. where the
| murder was committed on Saturday night.
On the strength OF the evidence yesterday a

issued and he was held without bail until

ATHLETIC ENTERTAINMENT
Queen City Athletic Club Scene of
 Amusement Last Niqht

Last night at the hall of the Queen City Athletic club an exceptionally fine entertainment was pulled of Il in. cluded four glove exhibitions. all Of the most friendly nature intended tC demonstrate the beauty Of the sci, ence of physical culture and self-de- fense.
 In the first instance Mir. Luke White and the Jim Jeffries of Cochise county demonstrated the science of sparring to the great satisfaction of all present. It was g friendly contest and no decision declared. as were ali the other events.
 The second feature was Machinist McDermott and his friend, MT. Stock. CT, which ended in a very nice ana. teur exhibition of the science of self defense.
 What was supposed to be the prin- cipal feature was a display of the glove science between Jack Benson and Mir. McClung. In one turn Mo C'ung, who was the lighter man, as- certained that he was outclassed and retired.
 Now Jeffries, who is a well conduct ed young man around town, went into the glove contest with Mir Ben son, and this was the prettiest event of the evening. The young gentle men were very evenly matched for size and proportions, but MT. Benson had the advantage in training Any way the exhibition was thoroughly sci entific and thoroughly enjoyed by those present, and so close that no decision was rendered. These boys were properly scientific. It was hot nd red hot, till you would imagine they were after each others blood. The entertainments are good for rising manhood so long as properly conduct ed, and Professor Mccoy has always borne law and moral precept in mind while incu'catilg the science of phy- sicl culture, athletics and hygiene into his numerous patrons in Bisbee.
