[From the Boston Post.] While the walks in the Public Garden were crowded yesterday afternoon about 4.30 o’clock, people near the entrance gates at the corner of n and Charles streets were horrified to see a man suddenly plunge a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to the ground. While waiting for a conveyance 2n officer questioned the would-be suicide, who was about 50 years of age as to his name, address, and reason for wishing to end his life, but the man steadfastly refused to give any infor- mation regarding himself. He was taken to the Massachusetts. General Hospital and surgical attendance given him. Although weak from loss of blood it is probable will recover.

Jefferson City, Mo., April 29 — The harness manufacturing building at the penitentiary has been the scene of another murder. This time the victim is J. W. Tuck er, a new guard from Butler. Bates county. The noon hour had arrived yester day, and long lines of convicts were marching to the dining hall some al ready out of the shops and some go- ing out. Among the latter were the prisoners working in the harness shop upstairs at the extreme north side of the prison enclosure. As on guard it was Mr Tucker's duty to stand on a box on the outside platform at the head of the stairs and the box is so close to the stairway that prisoners in marching would al most brush his clothes. He was at his post of duty to day, and part of the line was downstaire, when Jim Smith, a three years’ convict from Lewis county, brokerank, rushed for ward a couple of steps and struck Tucker a vicious blow witha knife sinking the blade deep into the back in the neighborhood of the left kid- ney. The assault was so sudden and the blow in such a part that Tucker sank at once. In a segoud’s time the venge- ful fiend stabbed his victim six times more-once in the breast, once on the left temple, once on the forhead, onee on the neck,once on the shoulder and once just under the shoulder blade. This was a vicious cut, and the blade of the knife was sticking in the wound, probably reaching into the vital parte. Mr. Tucker would probably have been killed then for Smith was strik- ing with the rapidity of thought,had not Nase Hill, a twenty five years’ colored conyict from Chariton Co, interfered. He is a large, muscular map. He broke rank, caught Smith by the nap of the neck with one hand and with the other pinioned the band which held the broken knife. Smith was in the act of stiking again. All this had done in not over five seconds’ time. Hill jerked the murderer back, twisted the bloody hands intoa cross and awaited reinforcements, which coming, the march to dinner was re sum d. Two of Tucker’s wounds are prob ably fatal; the one under the shoul- der blade and one in the back near the kidney. Dr. Thorpe was at once called and did all he could to relieve the suffering man, but he has no hopes of his recovery. Death is probably a matter of only a few hours at the farthest. Smitn is now in the solitary, chained. He vas called before the penitentiary inspectors, Seibert, Stephens and Walker, and to them he declared that three weeks ago he had made up his mind to kill Tucker and expressed a hope that the “— — of would die.” At the time Smith was brought here, November 29, 1892, the sheriff of Lewis county warned the officials that they were taking “charge of a bad man.” J. W. Tucker began his service here as a guard February 1 of this year. Heisan unmarried man, 27 years old, and previous to coming here had studied law with Parkin- son & Graves, a well known law firm of Butler. He had many friends among the prison employes. If he had any fault as a guard it was in his too great kindness rather than in his severity. Three weeks aso he eaught Smith disobeying the pris- on rules and reprimanded him. The wily and vengeful convict promised to do better, and so Tuck er did not have him punished That was the incident whici led to the murder. Nase Hill was call before the in- spectors to give his testimony and version of the affair. He was given to understand that his conduct was} appreciated.
