TUCKER HELD GUILTY
OF GIRLS MURDER
Electric Chair Awaits Slayer of Miss
Mabel Page Much
Excitement.

Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 25.-Charles
l. Tucker. aged 22, was found guilty
last night of murder in the first de-
gree in having killed Mabel Page, aged
Al. in Weston, on March 81. 1904. The
penalty is death in the electric chair.
There undoubtedly will be strong eff
forts made. however. to secure new
trial
When the verdict was announced
Tucker. his mother and his father
collapsed. All three fell to the floor.
1t was some time before they were re-
suscitated. Not alone the prisoner AMI
his parents broke down. but the coun-
sci were overcome. Under the strain
James H. Vahey, the senior counsel,
threw his arms around Attorney Gen
eral Herbert Parker's neck and the
two men, broken down beneath the
nervous tension, sobbed on each 9th
er's shoulders. Philip Mansfield one
of the associate counsel for the youth
full murderer, became hysterical in an
adjoining room after he had left the
court. He fell fainting into n report
er's arms.
The murder of Mabel Page and the
fastening of the crime upon Tucker
have formed a sensational chapter in
the annals of New England crime.
