There was no robbery, no assault and no apparent object In the murder. The story of Injury to the brother shows careful premeditation. The mutilating slashes made after death shows that it was not the work of a hardened criminal. No tracks, stains or clues of any sort have been found In the house. Stabbed la the back with a great d knlfo that pierced her luogs, and slashed In the throat until her Jugular vein was severed, to give the deed an appearance of suicide, and with eleven other terrible stabs and slashes. Miss Mabel Page, daughter of Edward Page, former millionaire of Boston, was most foully murdered In her father's home in Weston, Mass., March 81. When her father returned to the home at 2.30 In the afternoon, after a trip to Boston, he found the house unlocked and this note on a table In the sitting room on the OrBt floor: "Brother Harold has been Injured and I have gone to the Massachusetts General Hospital to see him. " Mabel." The aged father made a hurried search of the house, realizing hls daughter would not havo left the house unlocked. In her room he found her, lying full length upon the floor beside her bed, with arms outstretched, fully dressed for the street, even to hat and Jacket, and he saw a terrible gash across her throat from ear to car. Mr. Page thought his (laughter had killed herself or attempted to do so. and be ran to the nearest house, half a mllo away, to telephone for medical assistance. There Is not on record In the Commonwealth an Instance of such a two-edge- cruel, brutal, unprovoked and terribly mysterious crime as this and the keenest wits of the State police and others are at work In vain for some clue, some slight thing upon which they may build a theory that will stand, but all to no purpose. These are the wounds the undertaker found: A stab in the back that penetrated the left lung. This would have proved fatal, and It shows the murderer first struck the woman from behind. Then there was a stab In the centre of her breast. Just below her neck, that would have proved fatal, and shows tho man struck a second blow as the woman fell. There are four wounds upon her right hand, showing where she put her hand to ward off the weapon. In the throat were three slashes, one of which severed the Jugular vein and half severed the head. The others were vicious deep Blashes, apparently made to give an appearance of suicide, which only one In a murderous frenzy would be unwise enough to make. In the left side was a deep stab and In the right side of the abdomen were three stab wounds, all dpep and all of which would have singly proved fatal. In all, the brutal fiend who killed the defenseless womfui. left alone In her father's home, delivered thirteen telling blows, and at least seven of them were wild, maniacal slashes of mutilation delivered after the woman was dead. And yet, with all those wounds, the dead woman lay with her clothes on. In such a fashion that the father and two physicians failed to realize she had been murdered, as the throat slashes were all they could see. Remarkable in the extreme Is the fact that there was not a cupful of blond upon the floor where the dead woman lay. She bled Internally, the physicians declared, which explains tho extra ordinary absence of blood stains. Tb murderer so slashed and mutilated the body that internal bleeding was mado possible and the blood flowed Internally easier than It came from the thirteen wounds. The woman apparently had teen informed that her brother, who worked in Boston, had been Injured in an accident, and taken to a hospital. She was preparing to leave at once for Boston when she met her death. A note written by her explaining that she was going to her brother's aid was found on a table. The brother, however, was found to be In good health. 8TOOD ON HIS DIGNITY. Has Exalted Commissioner Opinion of Himself. Patent Commissioner Allen is Impressed with the dignity of hls position.
