CHARLES |. TUCKER.
Massachusetts Man Convicted of the
Murder of Mabel Page.


Charles L. Tucker, who has been
convicted by Massachusetts jury Of
the murder of Mabel L. Page and SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair, is a
young man of twenty-four years, while
his supposed victim was forty. The
crime proved one of the most mysteri-
Gus and battling with which the au-
thorities OF Massachusetts have had to
do in some time. The murder of Mabel
Page occurred in her home at Weston,
Mass, March 81, 1904. Miss Page was
a quiet, modest, intellectual woman,
who never had given offense 10 any
one and who lived with her father,
James Page. a retired business man;
her brother Harold and a maid. Amy
Roberts. She received a good educa-
ton and when twenty years old was
engaged to be married. but on account
Of opposition TO their plans from Miss
Pages family the lovers parted. He
afterward married, but she seemed
averse 10 the society of men and Kept
mainly within her home in the com
pany of her books.
Tucker lived at Newton. near Yves
ton, and is the son of Albert L. Tucker,
a railroad employee. He had worked
in boats on the Charles river and was
fond of water sports. Several years
ago his wife was drowned through the
upsetting of a canoe.
Miss Page was found dead In her
bedroom on the afternoon of March 81
by her father, and it was supposed she
had committed suicide. There was a
wound in her neck, and this was
thought TO have been self inflicted.
When the undertaken came to prepare
the body for burial other wounds were
found in the back and chest like those
made by a knife.
A note was found, which had appar-
emily been written hurriedly by Miss
Page, informing her father that his son
Harold had been hurt and that she
was about TO go to the hospital to see
him. Harold had not been hurt. and it
is supposed that Tucker secured en-
trance TO the house by telling Miss
Page that her brother had been injured
and then while she was engaged in
preparations to leave. stabbed her and

history making So runs the world

strong factor in the Boston clubs af-
fairs. He also did much for baseball
Ia an unobtruSiye way and now re-
tires from the game with the respect
and good wishes Of his colleagues in
particular and baseball lovers in gen
eral. He has well earned a rest from
the strenuous game, and we trust he
will enjoy TO the utmost the remainder
OF his span of life in his honorable re-
tirement.
Scoring Calls For Good Judgment.
Scoring is not an exact science. and
men Of good judgment who are free
from prejudice will differ on plays, but
1t Is folly to give a player an error
on an extremely difficult ball because
he sometimes stops them. Scorers
must not expect a man to be equal to
his best performances every time. Too
harsh scoring is a bad thing for base
ball, and the rule makers realized this
when they made leniency in scoring
errors mandatory upon scorers. And
this has had good effect. For instance,
the rule which was made absolving
catchers from errors on bad throws to
second unless the base runner made an
extra base has improved the throwing
TO bases fivefold.
