/. G. Rizzi Loses About
Sl,5OO BY II.
MONUMENTS DEFACED
Eleven Stones in Various Stages Of Com
pletition Were Ruined Last Night
Probably the Work Of -
Spite. gMNi

A most cowardly crime was commit
tel some time during last night at the
granite plant OF Il. q. Rizi, or Blackwell
street, when some person or persons
entered the shop and mutilated, probably
beyond repair, about 81 500 worth Of
partially finished monuments.
The perpctrator Of the deed entered
BY climbing over the big door between
the stock yard and the cutting shed,
which Is in summer left open at the
top. All the other doors We're locked
when Mr.. RizI went to the plant this
morning, except a small door in the OPP
posite end, which can only be opened
from the inside. This door was opened,
showing that the one who committed
the deed had taken a quicker way to
get out than that by which he en-
tered
Some of the ruined stones were prac-
tically finished, while Others lacked con-
siderable Of being done. Even stones
Constituting practically all the stock
which was anywhere nearly finished)
were ruined, On some stones scotias
were clipped; on Others corners knocked
off, in places where they could not be
ftpdlftu. Ous 1LoHtc NiieIe lutfe WIS
carving the most delicate parts seemed
to take the fancy Of the person who
was doing the damage. On several stones
on which there was considerable let
tering, many of the letters we're pounded
down, thus spelling the whole.
Mr.. Rizi says the job does not look
as though IL had been done BY anyone
who knew how to cut stone, for in every
ease the work is done in a most ragged
fashion, as if hammer or some blunt
tool had been used The value Of the
ruined stones will amount to more than
$l,500. but some Of them can be cut
down and used again, so that the real
loss will not reach quite that amount,
but that fact does not lessen the crime
of whoever did it, for his intentions
certainly were to spoil every stone in
the shed.
Mr.. Rixzi has been in business at the
old Young Brothers shed only short
time. and he will have the sympathy
OF every granite man in the city. There
have been few crimes of this nature
committed in Barre. and none has APP
preached the seriousness of this.

Constable McAuliffe Believes Tucker
Will Make Full Breast.

Boston, June Sip to today said
Constable Patrick McAulifle of Weston,
who had charge OF the Page case in the
early stages and who took prominent
part in the hunt for the murderer and
at the trial, Il felt that the governor
would not interfere, but like everybody
else the delay in the matter left me
a bit III doubt. He has always been
in advocate Of capital punishment and
most people believed he would have the
courage Of his convictions and refuse
TO interfere with the action Of the jury
and judges.
In my opinion, Tucker win now con
fess, unless he Is kept surred up to the
necessity Of keeping his mouth shut.
To my mind he would have confessed
before had il not been that his courage
was Kept up by his counsel. They may
succeed in keeping him silent now, but
unless they keep after him, l think he
viii tell all he knows. He would have
done SO before if he had been allowed
to follow his own will.
From the early days Of the case
had no doubt Of fuckers guilt"

EDWARD PAGES OPINION.
Believed to Dying Day That Tucker
Murdered His Daughter.

Boston, June s.Dr. Alfred Worcester
OF Waltham, for years the regular fam
lily physician of the Page family and
one OF the few men in whom Mr.. Page
placed unreserved confidence, stated last
night as an unqualified fact that up to
the day of his death Mr.. Page believed
that Charles Il. Tucker, on whom the
doors of hope closed finally last night,
was the murderer Of Mabel Page.
The statement was made by Or. Wor
cester without the least solicitation on
the part OF any newspaper man. He
believed that, as part Of his civic deso-
tion 10 the state, Il should be made
known waht the father OF the murdered
girl believed, and that he should deny,
by making the statement, tine inferences
contained in the remarks made BY the
Rev. Dr. Winslow some time ago.

DESCRIPTION.

Richmond Byers, if alive, was years
old last July. is Of light complexion,
has gray. eyes. left eye noticibly
crossed. has small V shaped nick IN
the edge OF the left ear, has sharp
chin and a narrow, projecting forehead.
He is rather small for his age and is
unusually bright and intelligent, talking
after the manner of boy much older.
Dr.. Byers has searched among the
rowing bands that frequent the United
States and believes that his son can be
found among travelling junk dealers, so
called horse traders or movers. He
does not think the boy was stolen by
genuine gypsies. He thinks he was
taken b. a wandering band that used
him tor the purpose of begging in the
towns along the route. This child may
now be in the family of some farmer
who would be glad to give him up to
his parents if their identity were known.
For after a child reaches the age of Z
the gipsies abandon them or give them
away. New Harmony tInd. Times.
