Attorneys Give Up the Struggle and
Tucker at Last Loses All Hone,
Execution Delayed That the Condemned Youth
May Receive Sacrament Of BAPTISM.

Boston, June 10.-Charles l.. Tucker.
who in the death house of the state
prison at Charlestown is awaiting exc
cution for the murder of Mabel Page,
has at least one more day Of life. Con-
trary to custom, Tucker will not pay
the forfeit of his crime tonight. The
warden of the state prison. who has
charge of all details connected with
the execution. will not say when the
sentence of the court will be carried
out. but it is known positively that
Tucker will not be executed before
midnight tomorrow night The war
den is authorized under the law to Sc
lect any time between the hours Of
midnight and sunrise in the week that
began today
1t is understood that the reason
there will be no execution today is in
order that the condemned youth may
tomorrow receive the rites of baptism.
Key. Thomas Bishop, Il former pastor
OF the condemned man and who is act
ing as his spiritual adviser. will per
form the service
No member of fuckers family Wis
tied the death house today. 1t is I'M
derstOod that the last farewells were
spoken yesterday and that the father.

will not again visit the prison.

Held. The prisoner now realizes that
al hope Of preventing the execution is
gone. and apparently he is resigned to
his fate. He still maintains stoutly that
re is innocent. His remarkable calm
ness and courage has not deserted him.
although he no longer appears buoyant
and hopeful.
In the four previous cases where
prisoners have been electrocuted at the
state prison the execution has taken
place between midnight Sunday and
sunrise Monday. and fuckers case,
therefore, is notable exception. So
much secrecy of necessity surrounds
the execution of condemned man in
Massachusetts that no details Of the
arrangements are obtainable 1t is the
general belief. however. that the rea-
son there will be no execution tonight
is in order that Tucker may obtain the
spiritual consolation TO be derived from
baptism.
Several hundred curious persons as
sembled outside the main entrance of
the prison late tonight. expecting that
the death sentence would be carried
out before morning and when the
crowd saw that there was no activity
within The gates. 1t gradually dispersed.
