aged father of Miss Mabel Page. for whose muir
der Charles Tucker. of Auburndale is peihs
tried. called to the stand in the MiddleseA
County Superior Court to-day, as the second
witness for the prosecution. Mr.. Page was

the court was adjourned for the day. out of re-
spect to the late Chief Justice Albert Mason.
whose funeral was held this afternoon
To-days session brief Although the
hour set for the opening was $50 a. m. it was
not until 11:O5 o'clock that the proceedings be-
gan. Owing to a severe .snowstorm. Judge Ed

courthouse During the protracted and weari-
some wait. Tucker occupied his seat in the iron
cage. His eyes occasionally sought the places
occupied the two previous days by his father.
mother and brother but he did not see any mem
ber of his family in the courtroom, all of them

house and map Of the territory adjacent to the
scene of the crime.
Edward Page. the father of the murdered
woman was next called and sworn. At this
point the jury was excused while counsel argued
a question concerning the proposed Introduction
by the commonwealth as specimens Of fuckers
handwriting of one hundred more sales slips
alleged to have been filed and signed by the
defendant when he was employed by mercan-
tile firm in Boston. James H. Vahey. counsel
for the defendant, argued that the prosecution
must prove that the defendant filed out each
slip offered Attorney General Parker contended
that the fact that each salesman was obliged by
the rules of the firm to make out his own slips
left no room to doubt that the defendant was
the author of the slips in question. The court
finally ruled that it would not be necessary to
prove the authorship of each slip, but that the
prosecution must show positively that nobody
else could have filled out or signed them. This
was interpreted by fuckers counsel as a point
in favor of the defence.

The entrance Of Mr. Cassatt into the New

This, however has been somewhat reduced, since
