Tucker's Trial Ends at Cambridge. PRISONER UTTERLY COLLAPSED. Was Condemned on Purely C'lrenm fttnntlnl Rvldenee Leading .tate Attorney Overcome liy Strain. Will lie Sentenced Later, CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Jan. 25. Aft ter the jury In the Tucker murder trial had come Into court and asked for in formation regarding the exact legal tucnnlng of the word "nurllce," In the expression "malice afii'vcthonght" nnd for Information concerning the differ ent degrees of murder nnd what con stituted manslaughter, which was ex plained by Judge Sheldon, they retired nnd In a short time returned with a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree against the prisoner, Charles I.. Tucker. The last words of the trial of Tucker for the murder of Mabel Page were spoken when Judge Sheldon closed his charge to the Jury which has been con sidering the case "Ince Jan. 1. i The day was a long one nnd to ninny in the courtroom n very trying one. Attorney General Parker closed his ar gument about nn hour nnd a half after court opened. Then came one of the most dramatic incidents In the trial, for most unexpectedly the young prisoner accepted his constitutional privilege of addressing the Jury In his own behalf. Rising In Ids cage, he assorted nt first, trembling, but later with considerable confidence, his Innocence of the crime. He spoke about ten minutes, and when he concluded Judge Sheldon began his charge. The case was given to the Jury about 2 p. m., nnd they Immediately retired. The penalty for murder in the Urst degree iu this state Is death in the electric chair at the state prison in Charlcstown, about a mile from the scene of the trial. Tucker will be sen tenced later. Tucker collapsed utterly when the verdict was announced, nnd his coun sel were unable to revive him for some time. The announcement of the finding of the Jury, which was made at 10:10 o'clock last night, was followed by one ' of the most remarkable scenes that hns been witnessed In a Massachusetts courtroom for many years. Tucker col lapsed utterly in the prisoner's cage when the foreman uttered the fatal words, being completely overcome by a verdict which had apparently seemed to him to be an impossibility. He was led from the courtroom across the street to the jail In an exhausted con dition. But perhaps the most remarkable feature was the effect of the announce ment of the verdict upon the attorneys not only for the prisoner, but for the commonwealth. James II. Vahey, the senior counsel for the prisoner, was greatly affected, and when he left the courtroom 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. Vahey's neck, and both men wept on each other's shoulders, the attorney general expressing in broken words his sympathy for his brother nttyrney. These two men were not the only , ones moved to tears. Philip Mansfield, one of the associate couusel for the youthful prisoner, been me hysterical nnd fell into the arms of a reporter. The murder of Miss Mabel Pago at Weston, Mass., on March 31, 1904, for the commission of which Charles J,. Tucker was tried, attracted wide utten- tlon because of the unusual and lnysti- i fylng circumstances surrounding the , case. j Miss Pago, who was forty-one years of nge, lived in a small country dwell-! Ing house with her father, Edward Pge, formerly a prosperous Boston merchant, and her brother, Harold. She was stabbed to death with a knife. Basing his examination upon the ap pearance of the wound found in the neck, the only wound nt first visible, the medical examiner reported that Miss Page hnd committed suicide, and it was not until nn undertaker hnd discovered other wounds that it was established that the woman had met death at the hands of nn nssasslu. The govorninent'a case against Tuck er included the charge that a slip of paper containing the address "J. L. Morton, Charlcstown, Mass.," found be side the body of Miss Page, was in the handwriting of the defendant, that a stickpin found in Ills pocket had been stolen by him from the Pago home nnd that broken pieces of blade found In his home were parts of the Unlfe with which he had stabbed Miss Page. The evidence against Tucker was en tirely circumstantial. Curl I'll el im .Ml Maine, PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 25.

NAME CHANGED EACH TIME. Johann lloc-h Wedded and Provided Flats For Many tlrldea. CHICAGO, Jan. 25. It has been as certained that Johann Hoeh bad at least thirteen wives In ten years. Four of them died soon after their marriage. All of them were swindled. A four teenth woman tins been found who was engaged to lilm. Six of the thir teen wives nre Identified. The estnb lishments where seven others nre be lieved to have lived have become known. More wives are likely to ma terialize. This much hns been brought to light by a day of Investigation Into the his tory of the man who married two sis ters in Englewood In one month nnd who disappeared a week ngo, nfter the death of the first sister, with the mon ey of the second. No trace of Hoch has been found, and police circulars have been sent over the country in hope of his cap ture. A furniture denier on Milwaukee ave nue Informed the police last night thnt he hnd furnished five different flats for Hoch, each time under a different name, and thnt he had a new wife for every flat. The first flat furnished was in May, 1SD2, under the name of C. A. Meyer; the second In June, 1S02, under the name of II. Irlck; the third in 18!4 (the dealer does not recall the name used, but It was different from thnt used on any other occasion); the fourth was In ISM under the name of Jacob Hoh. The wife this time was Mrs. Mary Stelnbrocher. The fifth flat was fur nished In 1S!)S under the name of Adolph Hoch. Tills time Hoch gave a mortgage on the goods and .then sold them. For this he was sentenced to a year in the county Jail. The dealer told the police that he knew that the women who were in stalled in the first three flats died In a short time after marriage. He asked Hoch why he changed Ills name every time he married, nnd Hoch replied that he did not believe he could get mar ried under the same name every time, as many women would object to mar rying n man who had been so many times a widower. Toilce Inspector Shlpp has heard that in April, lSilS, when Hoch was on trial for an alleged attempt to swindle n furniture firm, a minister from Wheel ing. W. Va., was In Chicago and rec ognized in Hoch a man the minister had married some time before and whose wife hnd died under suspicious circumstances.

The Uisarotto Pect- The Clearfield school bonrd lias secured evidente enough to prose cute at least eight tobacco dialers in that town who have been selling cigarettes to school boys. The board will notify the dealers to desist and further transgressions will be followed by prosecutions. The directors say that the cigarette smoking scholars show a marked mental deficiency. There can be no doubt of this pernicious effect, and, in view of it, disregard for the law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to boys should be severely reprehend ed. The physical injury resulting in the pallid faces and listless move ments of the boys whose addiction to it is confirmed, producing early debilitation that is sure to blight their manhood. Any cause that is productive of an unsound body is most likely to impair the mind and j for this reason school boards and school teachers who are responsible for the education of the young, ! should exert themselves for the ex-1 tirpation of a habit that weakens ! the receptivity of the youthful mind. It may be said that the school boards of every community have occasion to adopt the line of action m regard to the use of cigarettes by school boys that has been taken by the school authorities of Clearfield. The disregard for the cigarette law is general, calling for general action to correct the evils that result trom if. Boys under sixteen years of age can be seen smoking cigar ettes on the streets of Rloomsburg any day. A certain Bloomsburg school teacher was explaining the meaning of the word recuperate. "Now, Willie," he said. "If your father worked all day he would be tired and all worn out, wouldn't he?" "Yes sir." "Then when uight comes and his work is over for the day, what dees he do?
