The murder of Mabel Page occurred
at the suburban town Of Weston on
March 81, 1904. It was q crime that
might at any time occur In suburban
community. There was no more APP
parent motive for any one to kill
her than there would be for the as
sassination of any modest. retiring. in

fence and who might be found any day
in her home. She was 40 years old.
the daughter Of Edward Page, = re-
tired dealer In steel and iron, whom
business reverses had reduced to COM
paratively poor circumstances. Mr..
Page passed away but few months
ago, dragged to his grave by the over
whelming sorrow Of his daughters vio-
lent death.
on the day OF the crime Miss Page
was left alone In the house. Her faith

daughter, extended on the moor Of her
bedroom. She was dressed apparently
to 90 out. An examination revealed
the fact that she had been stabbed t.

not been pFcviouaiy described had b1en
seen III the neighborhood about noon
on the day OF the crime. Late that
night the identity Of the man was es-
tablished as Charles 4. Tucker. living
In Auburndale.
Tucker was the son Of Albert F.
Tucker, an old and respected empIoye
Of the Boston & Albany railroad. He
had always lived in Auburndale and
was known all over that section. He
had been inclined to be somewhat Wild
and dissipated, though never suspect
ed up to that time Of any serious
crime. Although very young. he was
a widower. His wife had been drowned
by the overturning OF canoe on the
Charles river about q year previously
Tucker was with her at the time and
was an expert swimmer. The wife's
death was regarded az somewhat
mysterious, but fuckers explanation
Of the accident was accepted At the
time.
Upon being questioned by the police
Tucker told an apparently straight
day Of the Page murder. He was not
taken into custody but was kept under
surveillance. within q day or two
new developments came to light and
strengthened the suspicious against
Tucker. He was placed under arrest
and . search made Of his house. Parts
Of = broken knife blade were found
and Tucker admitted that the knife
was his. Among other things found
was q Canadian shield stick pin, which
at the trial was identified by the fam
ily a. having belonged to Miss Page
The broken knife ana the stick pin
were the two things that contributed
most to fuckers conviction. Other
evidence introduced tended to show
that Tucker had at one time been an
acquaintance Of Miss Pages brother
and had called at the house. witnesses
testified also to Tucker's having money
following the time OF the murder. and
the possession OF which he could not
reasonably explain. The evidence
showed that Miss Page had ten dol
lar bill IN her purse on the morning Of
y
the murder and that It was missing
when the body was found.
The verdict Of the jury was received
with surprise BY those who had fol-
lowed the trial closely. This sentiment
was not unanimously based upon a
belief In fuckers Innocence. but upon
the opinion that the evidenc did not
fix the guilt upon the young man.
Tucker may have done It." was the
expression heard on every hand" but
the evidence did not show bevond the
reasonable doubt that he did IT."
But efforts to secure = new trial
were fruitless. The higher courts Of
Massachusetts and the United States
supreme court upehld the verdict OF
the trial court.
