YOUNG TUCKER is GUILTY
VERDICT OF MURDER IN THE
FIRST DECREE.

Jury Finds After Long Delibcration
That He Murdered Mabel Page-Con-
sicted Youth Completely Overcome
and Physician Has TO be Called In--
Aged Mother spared Anguish of
Hearing Fatal Words.
Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 24-Gulty of
murder in the first degree was the ver-
dict, returned Tonight against Charles
L. Tucker of Auhurndale, who has been
on trial since January for stahbing to
death Miss Mabel Page in her fathers
home in Weston on the 31st OF last
March.
The penalty Is death in the electric
chair in the state prison in Charles
town.
The counsel for the defense will have
thirty days to file exceptions.
The announcement of the finding Of
the jury, which was made at 1910
o'clock tonight, was followed BY one
of the most remarkable scenes that has
been witnessed in a Massachusetts
court room for many years. Tucker
collapsed utterly in the prisoners cage
when the, foreman uttered the fatal
words, being completely overcome by a
verdict which had apparently seemed to
him to be an irnpossfbility. He was led
from the court room across the street
to the Jail in an exhausted condition,
and when he was once more locked in
his cell, he broke down so entirely that
a physician was sent for. Stimulants
were administered and he revived
somewhat.
Mrs. Albert ]. Tucker, the mother of
the prisoner, was spared the anguish of
listening to her sons fate from the lips
Of Foreman Knight. At the suggestion
of one of the counsel for the defence
she left the court room when the jury
returned with the verdict.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
was the effect Of the announcement of
the verdict on the attorneys, not only
for the prisoner, but for the common
wealth. James H. Vahey, the senior
counsel for the prisoner, was greatly
affected, and when he left the court
room he met Attorney General Herbert
Parker in the corridor. The leading
counsel for the commonwealth showed
the result of the strain to such a degree
that he threw his arms around Mr.. Va
hey's neck and both men wept on each
others shoulders, the attorney general
expressing in broken words his sympa-
thy for his brother attorney.
These two men were not the only
ones moved to tears. Philip Mansfield,
one of the associate counsel for the
youthful prisoner, became hystericaI
and fell into the arms OF reporter,
who had gone to the rooms of the de-
fendant's counsel to secure an inter
view. Many spectators and friends Of
the prisoner wept bitterly when they
realized the young mans fate.

CHINA ACCUSES RUSSIA:
ANSWER TO HAYS NOTE
CZAR'S GOVERNMENT THE ONE
BREAKING NEUTRALITY.
Have Built Bridges Over River Mark
ing Neutral Zone and Troops Have
Encamped beyond BOundary-Chinese
Bandits Engaged by the Russians
and Have Fought Against Japanese
-MataO Islands Not Used as Base
for 1IiISadO's Navy.

Washington, Jan. 24.-China's answer
to the American governments commu-
nication calling attention to the Rus-
sian charges that the Chinese We're
violating neutrality was delivered to
Secretary Hay at his residence to-day
by Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the
Chinese minister. 1t will later be sent
to the president.
Until the Chinese answer has been
received by the president its text is
withheld, but the Associated Press has
obtained an approved synopsis of the
contents of the note as follows: .-~.
Regarding the charge that the Chi
nese bandits were enlisted in the Jap
anese army, the Chinese government
says that they were enlisted by the
Russians as frontier guards and fought
against the Japanese. Besides the sub
jects of neutral power have the right
as private citizens to enlist in foreign
army. No japanese officers are in
China's northern army at all. Russians
and other foreigners are in educational
institutions throughout the empire and
in the maritime custom houses, but this

Regarding the iron ore said to have
been furnished the Japanese army the
answer says this ore is from certain
mines owned by Chinese merchants
separate from the government mines at
Hanyang. International law does not
include the article under the head of
contraband of war. The Matao is
lands are said to have been used by
the japanese as base for their navy.
This is denied. .~t..-,
Regarding the articles of contraband
alleged to have been sent to Dahy,
ships have run the blockade. that is the
she can to maintain 1t. ....E,
Regarding the Ryeshitelni incident, it
is stated that the seizure was as unex-
pected by the Chinese as by the Rus
slams. The Chinese government did
everything 1t could, against such seiz-
ure. 4 s.
The Chinese government considers
that Russia has violated neutrality in
a number oc instances. Bridges have
been built by the Russians over the
Liao river, and Russian troops have
encamped on the west side of the river
which is supposed to mark the boun-
dairy line OF the neutral zone.
The captain of the Ryeshitelni while
going to Shanghai under military es-
cort, made his escape from the authori-
ties in whose charge he was. The an
swer in conclusion says the Chinese
government has not swerved one iota
from her neutrality, and the general at
titnde of her people IS peaceful, and
has been appreciated as such by the
powers.

Continues Beneath Surface - Much
Now Depends on what Occurs at Mos
cow and Other Large Cities.
There was no bloodshed in st. Peters,
burg yesterday. but the condition of af-
fairs there has not improved and in
other of the large cities of Russia mat
ters appear to be rapidly assuming a
critical phase. In Moscow particularly
the outlook is threatening, the strike
there having become general, while the
revolutionary spirit seems to dominate.
"A proclamation in the name of Father
Gopon has been circulated melting to
the use of bombs, dynamite or any
weapon whatsoever against the MEM
bers of the government who, it is as
serted, outlawed themselves by the
course that was adopted against the
workmen of ST. Petersburg on Sunday.
The Office Of governor general of the
late city and government of st. Peters,
burg has been created by imperial or
der, with extraordinary powers for
dealing with the existing conditions Of
affairs, and General Trepoff, whose adj
ministration of the office of chief of po-
lice of Moscow brought upon him the
sentence of death from the revolution
ary party, has been appointed to the
post. Numerous arrests have been
made, including authors and prominent
editors whose names had been connect
ed with a reported revolutionary prop
aganda. In spite of the repressiye
measures. however, the liberal spirit
seems undaunted, for in MOSCOW Prince
Galitzins who recently resigned the
niayoralty iii protest against the inn
perial ukase condemning the reform
programme, has been again chosen
mayor by the municipal council by a
vote of 11S to 10. Shopkeepers and res
idents of st. Petersburg have evidenced
their apprehension by boarding up their
doors and windows. Cavalry and in
fantry patrols were all that were to be
seen at midnight in the streets of st.
Petersburg and Moscow.

Orange, N. J., Jan. 24.-Thomas A.
