TUCKER DECLARED GUILTY
Decision III Notorious Murder Trial
Reached Alter Long Debate.
Defendant, the Declared Murderer OF Ma
bel Page in Weston, Mass, Last March
Counsel Overcome at Verdict.

Cambridge, Mass has Z. Tucker,
Of Auburndale, at1010 o'clock at night
was found guilty Of the murder, in the
first degree, Of Miss Mabel Page in
her fathers home, in Weston, on March
81 last. The jury were eight hours in
reaching their decision. Tucker col
lapsed utterly when the verdict was
announced, and his counsel were I'M
able to revive him for some time.
A surprising feature was the effect
of the announcement of the verdict
upon the attorneys, not only for the
prisoner, but for the Commonwealth.
James II. Valley, the senior counsel
for the prisoner. was greatly affected,
and when he left the courtroom he met
Attorney General Herbert Parker in
the corridor The leading counsel for
the Commonwealth showed the result
of the strain to such degree that he
threw his arms around Mr.. Valleys
neck and both men wept on each 9th
er's shoulders.
Philip Mansfield, one of the associate
counsel for the youthful prisoner, be-
came hysterical and fell into the arms
of reporter who had gone to the room
Of the defendants counsel to secure an
interview. Many spectators and friends
of the prisoner wept bitterly when they
realized the young mans fate.
The penalty is death in the electric
chair at the State prison in Charles
town, about mile from the scene of
the trial. The convicted man will be
sentenced later.
One Of the dramatic incidents of the
trial occurred in the morning when,
Attorney General Parker having con-
Guided his argument, the young pris-
oner Unexpectedly accepted his consti-
tutional privilege Of addressing the
1 jury in his own behalf. Rising in his
cage, he asserted, at first trembling
and flushing deeply, but later with con-
! siderable confidence. his innocence Of
the crime. Judge Sheldon then deliy-
1 cred the charge to the jury.
Miss Mabel Page, who was forty one
4 years of age, lived in small country
| dwelling house with her father, Ed
/ ward Page, formerly q Boston mer-
i chant, and her brother Harold She
was stabbed TO death with a knife on
March 81, 1904 Basing his e-amina-
ton upon the appearance of the wound
! found in the neck, the only wound at
first visible, the medical examiner re-
/ ported that Miss Page had committed
suicide and it was not until an under
taker had discovered other wounds
that it was established that the woman
had met death at the hands Of an as
sassin.
The Governments case against
Tucker included the charge that slip
of paper bearing the address, u. L.
Morton, Charlestown, Mass found
beside the body of Miss Page, was in
the handwriting of the defendant; that
a stickpin found IN his pocket had been
stolen by him from the Page home, and
that broken pieces of knife blaze
found IN his home were parts of the
knife with which he had stabbed Miss
Page.
The evidence against Tucker was en-
tirely circumstantiaI.

Hiss KofeMsNOn0Zd,

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement Of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains. hatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
