Mysterious Murder at Weston,
Mass, That Has Left the Po-
lice Not a Single Clue.
LATEST THEORY oFTHE sLEUTHs
That a Woman Was the Murdpre. of
Miss PaGe-Facts About
Pulling Crime.

Boston. April 4.-Mabcl Page nay
have been murdered by woman. This
fs a theory of the police. who are all
at sea over the murder mystery of
Weston. suburb. The theory Is based
upon the fact that the stabbing was
done in her room. 1t ia held impCs-
sible that she would have invited
man to her room. and as she was
standing at a mirror when she was
sta abbed, it woH{d have been impossible
for any one TO have snPaked in with
out her knowledge, for the glass gave
her a view of the door,
How a Woman Could Have Done 1t.
The police hold that If n woman
called with the false message about
Harold Page Miss Page naturally
would have invited her to the room 10
get, If possible. more particulars of
the accident to her brother. Then,
while she was engaged I'm fastening
her hat. it would have been possible
for the woman to have drawn the
Knife outside of the zone in the room
commanded by the mirror and ap-
preached Miss Page from behind with
out exciting suspicion.
Points to an Acquaintance.
A foxhound kept in the yard Of the
house as a guard gainst tTamps who
have infested the neighorhoOd is miss
ing. Search for the body of the dog
has been made all through the grounds
and the neishbOrhood. but without sue
cess. which leads TO the belief that
the dog went away with the murderer.
AS the animal would not have any
thing TO do with strangers the indiCa-
tions are that the person who muir
dered Miss Page was frequent Wis
itOr TO the house and on friendly terms
with the family
Had Trouble with "a Tramp.
Her father says about Il year ago
she had trouble with an Italian tramp
who called at the house for food. She
threatened to have him arrested, and
as he went away hethreatened her that
he would come back some day and Kill
her. The town authorities have in
creased by $500 the reward of 5000
offered by the father. Edward Page,
for the arrest of the murderer.

Thursday about 4:10 p. III. from point
near the Weston line. whose right

The man left the car just after It en-
tered Boston from Newton.
