While experts testified to-day that the Morton note found beside the body home at Weston was not written by Ohariés Tucker, who 1s on trial for the murder, there was a sudden stir a4 great whispering among the wom- ‘am, who crowded the count, Somebody had started the story that Mabel Walker, who is expected to prove an alibi for Tucker, was in the court, There was a constant craning of necks when tthe court doors opened, ‘md even the prisoner seemed to share Anterest in tho expected arrival of the witness whose testimony will mean #0 much for him, Tucker's lawyers would not admit that the woman was even in the vi- cinity of the court or go fo far as to pay they were to call her, It i known, however, that Mabel Walker has been in seclusion in a New Hampshire, town ready for the call to court by the de- fense, In Tucker’s Company. It fy eai4 the young woman will tes- tify that Tucker was in her company the time the murder was oom- mitted, Col, Edwin B, Hay, the writing ox- pert, resumed his testimony to-day, in the course which he declared the Mor- ton note was written by Mabel Page, Col. Hay sald the “"M” in the “Mor- ton" address was not to be found in ity the Tucker standards, He found that ft was not Tucker’s habit to make etther "A" or ''S'' lke those of the Morton note. “After your {nvestigatton, what 1 your opinion regarding the author of the ‘Morton’ address?” ‘I am gure that the author of the Mucker standards did not write the ‘Morton’ note," said Col. Hay, “What other investigations have you made with respect to the ‘Morton’ ad- Greast” awked Mr, Vahey, Mabel Page's Writing, “T have examined the handwriting of the note left by Mabel Page and other writing of hers and have, made com- parisons with the Morton address, Af- opinion that Mabel Page wrote the note the table and also the Morton addres: ald Col, Hay, “What writing of Miss Page's have you examined?” “I haye examined the handwriting on the original copy of her last will, which I saw at the registry of deeds,” The will was admitted as a standard of the writing of Miss Page, tographs of the document were passed to the jury and they looked at them while Col, Hay analyzed Miss Page's writing, "One of the noticeable pecullarities of Miss Page is the habit of abnormal spreading, ‘This 1s noticeable in tho ‘Morton’ address,"' said Col, Hay, “Let us compare the ‘Morton’ address and the note left by Miss Page, In the first place the distance from ‘J’ in the Morton address to the top cornér of the paper ly the same as the distance from the 'H! In ‘Have’ In Miss Page's note to the corner, In every Instance the dis- tances of the letters from the top of the paper are the same in both papers, “Taken alone that mixht not be slg- Mificant, but ff you find two simultane- ous writings which contain this same characteristic they Indicate that the Willer had! the sane habits, is not to be compared with Miss" Page's writing for we have no Hy the standards of her writing.
