Y.) correspondent of the Buffalo Express, in writing the career of Charles Tucker, alias Mason, just convicted of the murder of his wife, gives the following. The girl Nellie referred to was Nellie Wil- liams, who published the Penfield Extra : While at Rochester Mrs. Mason began to suffer with the painful illness which from that time forward never ceased until it terminated ber life at Lockport on the 18th ot September, 1867, and was confined to the house. Her hus- band at this time began to conceive a feeling of interest in, or attachment to a girlof less than twenty, @ young say sett known to the editorial and typographical fraternity of Western New York as the former editor and proprietor of a little sheet published near Rochester, and who was at this time a com- positor in a printing establishment there. is quite evident to those that heard the trial and saw this young lady on the stand that she was guilty of nothing more than indiscretion with Mason in allowing any attention at all trom bim, and it will answer the purposes of this narrative guite as well to suppress her patro- nymic, calling her simply Nellie. Mason called ai the printing room several times, where she was employed, during the sickness ot his wife, under the pretext of Daving work for her to do aud wishing to learn the printer’s art hin. self. He wrote notes to her, one of which she was seen to tear in pieces and throw on the floor, Upon one occasion Mason asked her to take a walk with him to see his wife at her request, which she to do; but after walking some distance on the street with him she discovered that they were in a direction a, to Mason's board- he: jouse, and called his attention to the fact. le returned some evasive answer, and desired became ed, and chided her tor impradence, which, Mason learning, he wrote Anote to the girl, asking her pardon, saying that if he bad committed any error it was of the head rather than the heart, and that he knew of no one whom he would co greatly de- sired as a companion for bis dear wife as her. After this Mason and his wife lett Rochester and came to Buffalo in May, 1°67: and for a time the curtain falls on his yearnings after a companion for his dear wife. While at Rochester he procured an insur- ance in a Connecticut Company for $5,000 upon the joint lives of himself and wife, payable to the survivor. Itis remarked by the prosecu- tion as significant that the amount was large, that the insurance should have covered the lhfe of his wife and that she died four months ai . He told the agent that his wife was suffering from gastritis, a disease of the stomach. The defence contended that this policy was taken after repeated solicitations by the agents of the company, they giving Mason half their fees. This insurance policy plays an important part during the time, being relied on by. the prosecution as the chief inducement to e crime, allowing that Mason was the guilty party. 1n this connection I may speak of the other alleged motive, which was the passion of Mason for Nellie and the desire to get his obese wife out of the way that he might marry her. ‘These two motives were ot course held up con- spicuously before the jury to account for the horrible crime of wife poisoning by the ac- cused. Itall appears that Mason did not have Toney enough to pay the first premiam on the insurance. Some circumstances attending the woman's death were commented on as suspicious. None of the neighbors were called in during her ill- ness or last moments, and the offered services of two ladies as watchers were refused. She was buried the day after her death, and Mason ‘was heard to laugh while in Logusoryou’ # The #ame night of the interment he went to Roches- ter and to the insurance agent the following morning, demanding the insurance money. He was told by the agent that he must wait the usual ninety days at all events. Then he went to the residence of Nellie’s mother and inquired for the girl. Being told that she was out he engaged in conversation with her mother, telling here that his wife was dead, ‘that he had received a large fortune,and that he meant to set Nellie up in business, that he ‘was mucb pleased with her, and mach more to the same effect He informed another party that his wife was dead, and he was not sorry, for she was a burden to herself and everybody else, that he had been to cali on Nellie and saw the “old lady,” &¢. a A Fatal Brow.—On Satarday afternoon a sad encounter between two men occurred at Front and Uhestnat streete, which resulted in the death of one of the parnes concerned. It appears that a man named Newton Steward been spending the afternoon at Smith’s Island, returning from that place about five o’clock on the small steamboat between the city and the "he ‘was crowded, and Ste’ unable to finda sral, laughingly said that he knew of no other ‘way of obtaining one unless he threw some of the children overboard. After ear y | the dock he walked up Chestnut street. At Front street he was accosted @ man, who re- marked, “You wanted to drown my children, did you!” and without farther ceremony he raised his fist and struck Steward a blow w! caused him to fall. In falling his head struck the curbetone, and he at once uncon- bs aca ag arnt tga d from the mouth _ ears. ing picked up he was conveyed to the Sixth Ward Station Bou | a —Pats oRsEs.. bandful tle, and fll it by Shen gt urine; shake polve, ad then F osFE E 2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The Prince endeavored to have O°Farrell’s case sub- mitted to the Home Government, bat he did not succeed. O'Farrell made a written state. ment before he died. He said: “I have hitherto said that I was one of many who were prepared to do the deed bad I not done it. I had not the slightest foundation for such a statement. 1 was never connected wilh any man, or any body of men, who had for their object the taking of the life of the Duke of Edinoargh. Neither was lin any other than an indirect Manner connected with that organization in Ireland and elsewhere which is known by the name of the Fenian organization.”’ O’Farrell rose at about 6 o'clock in the morn- ing, and as the hour for his execution ap- proached, he shook hands with the officers of the jail who had been in attendance upon him, and thanked them for the kindness and con- sideration with which they had treated him Between 6 and 7 o’clock he was visited by the Sisters of Mercy, and shortly after they left the Rev. J. Dwyer, Roman Catholic Chaplain of the jail, arrived and remained some time in conversation with the prisoner. As the sound of the bell striking 9 o'clock die@ away, the two executioners, Elliott and Bull, entered the ‘wing in which the prisoner was ed, and commenced to pinion him. At the termination of this a procession was formed, and the sol- emp cortege to move towards the scaf- fold. The prisoner walked by the side of Rev. Mr. Dwyer, preceded by twe officers of the jail, and followed by the sheriff, the Governor oi the jaal, the under-sheriff, and other officials.
