VOLTS JARRED LIFE
OUT OF TUCKER
Youthful Murderer Electrocuted
at Midnight.
BLENDER EVIDENCE CONVICTED
But Every Effort to Secure Clemency
for Him Was in Vain —Roosevelt
Wrote Governor Guild Urging Him
to Put Tucker to Death.
Boston, Mass., June 12.—Charles L.
Tucker was electrocuted at 12:12 a.
in. Tuesday for the murder of Mabel
Page at Weston, March 3, 1904. Tuck
er was officially pronounced dead by
the prison doctors at 12:19.
Three applications of the current
were made.
W’hen Tucker arrived in front of the
death chair he drew from his trous
ers’ pocket a brief statement which
he read. The statement was:
“I hope that God will forgive me
for all the wrongs I have ever done in
my past lift. I forgive everybody
who has ever wronged me. lam at
peace with my Master. May God
have mercy on my soul.”
In the Death Chair.
Tucker then sat down in the chair
and after the guards had adjusted
the straps the warden raised his hand
as a signal to the electrician.
After the first application of the elec,
tricity, Dr. Joseph McLaughlin, the
prison surgeon, made an examination
and announced that the pulse was still
beating. After the current had been
applied a second time the surgeon de
dected a movement of the heart, but
when the current was applied a third
time Tucker was pronounced dead.
This announcement was made at 12:19
o’clock a. m.
The surgeon stated that Tucker
was unconscious from the moment the
first shock was sustained.
One effort was made to prolong the
life of Charles L. Tucker, through ex
ecutive clemency, but after hearing
the appeal of his clergyman as well
as his counsel, Governor Guild decid
ed not to interfere with the execution
of the sentence.
Sketch of Tucker’s Crime.
One of the incidents of the day was
a telegram received at the state house
by Governor Guild from President
Roosevelt in relation to the Tucker
case, declaring that there should be
no intereference with carrying out the
sentence.
The electrocution of Charles L.
Tucker marked the final chapter in
the history of the murder of Mabel
Page at her home In Weston, Mass.,
March 31, 1904, and also marked the
close of the most desperate legal bat
tle ever waged in Massachusetts for
the life of a convicted murderer.
Mabel Page was murdered at her
home in Weston on March 31, 1904.
Her body whs found several hours
later by her aged father. On a near
by table was found a note which was
supposed to have been written by
Miss Page, stating that she had called
to Boston because of illness of her
brother. It later developed that her
brother, Harold, was not ill and the
handwriting on the note and a postal
card, which was also found in the
house, figured in the trial, the govern
ment contending that the hand-writing
on the postal card and note were iden
tical with specimens of Tucker’s hand
writing.
The police learned that Charles L.
Tucker, an Auburndale young man of
roving habits, had been seen near the
Page house on the day of the murder.
They found Tucker and on taking
him to a police station questioned him
but released him. About three weeks
afterward the officers searched Tuck
er’s home.
Knife Blade Doomed Him.
There, in an old coat, they found a
broken knife blade stained and scar
red, the scars indicating that an ef
fort had been made to destroy itfc by
means of a file. A stick-pin of pe
culiar design was also found. It was
soon learned that Mabel Page had
owned a pin similar to that found in
Tucker’s coat. This, together with
the fact that stains on the knife blade
wore suspected of being those of
blood as well as Tucker’s act of
breaking the blade In three pieces,
caused his arrest. Indictment for
murder In the first degree followed.
The evidence at the trial was largely
of a circumstantial nature.
Since Tucker’s trial and conviction,
Edwin Page, father of the murdered
girl, has died, as has Professor E. S.
Wood, of Harvard university, who was
the expert analysist for the prosecu
tion.

TWO MEN DROWN WHILE ROWING
Walker and Culpepper Die in Chatta
hoochee River.
West Padnt, Ga„ June 12. —While out
rowing in a bateau on the Chatahoo
chee river, just below the cotton mills
of the West Point Manufacturing
company at Langdale, two young men,
Ocilee Walker and Tom Culpepper,
were drowned. A party of four had
gone over to an island in the river,
and on returning, while in midstream,
one of them, Sol Tingle, in giving
up the guidance of the boat to one
of the others, missed his footing and
capsized the boat. Sol and Frank Tin
gle escaped by clinging to the boat.
The others were fine swimmers, and
started for the bank, but were seem
ingly seized with cramps and were
drowned within a few feet of the
bank on the Alabama side of the river.
In a very short time the shore was
thronged with people, and about a
hundred volunteered their services in
searching for the bodies, which were
recovered in about two hours Both
of the young men were mill opera
tives; Culpepper of the Lanett cotton
mills, and Walker of the West Point
Manufacturing company.
ELECTRIC CHAIR NEAR PATRICK
Recorder Goff Denies Motion for a
New Trial.
New York, June 12.—Recorder Goff
has denied a motion for a new trial
in the case of Albert T. Patrick, the
condemned murderer of William Rice.
Patrick’s attorneys, it is said, were
prepared for an adverse decision, and
have the papers ready for an appli
cation to the United States supreme
court for a writ of error and for a
writ of habeas corpus. These appli
cations would again delay the carry
ing out of the dd&th sentence and
would malte the fifth postponement for
Patrick, who has now been in the
death house in Sing Sing for more
than four years.
The last resort in the effort to save
Patrick will be_ an application to Gov
ernor Higgins for a commutation of
the death sentence.

ble excitement was occasioned here

of the town. A negro was seen run
ning, and Claud Shields following with

THE SEISMOGRAPH.
How the Earthquake Indicator Re
cord s the Shocks.
In its simplest form an earthquake
indicator might be a tray with notched
edges so filled with mercury that a
shaking of the earth would cause an
overflow in the direction of the move
ment. In the instrument used by sci
ence the pendulum is employed, verti
cal by some Italians, horizontal by the
Japanese, English, most European and
American observers. A movement of
the earth affects everything but the
pendulum, which is so freely hung as
to remain stationary, and a recording
device makes the result visible. Qf old
with the vertical pendulum a sharp
point drgjv the profile of the move
ments on a blackened surface. Photo
graphic paper in moving strips serves
the modern instruments.
The horizontal pendulum turns on a
vertical axis and carries at its extrem
ity a heavy weight ivliich earth shock
does not reach. In the Millie seismo
graph a platinum sheet attached to this
weight has a slit intersecting at right
angles a slit in a second sheet under
neath. In times of quiet reflected light
passing through both slits makes one
point and prints a straight line on the
moviitg bromide paper. When the
>arth shakes the lower slit moves and
lie line becomes crooked, according to
the strength of the shock. A clockwork
arrangement with shutters and a light
times the disturbance.
The instruments are so delicate as
sometimes to indicate shocks which no
men have felt.—New York World.

him as his representative, and he prov
