mitted to the officers that he was in
Somerville on the night on which Miss
McPherson was fatally injured.
The prisoner is about 39 years of
age, and is the son of the founder of
the firm of Mason & Hamlin, organ
and piano manufacturers. He was
graduated from Harvard in 1886 and
entered the firm of which his father
was the head. Mental troubles de-
veloped'within a few years after his
graduation, and he went to the Mc-
Lean asylum for treatment. After a
time he showed Improvement and left
the institution. A second time it be-

Boston, Nov. 4.—In connection with
the fourteen murderous assault cases
which have occurred in camyriage,
Brookline and Somerville In the last
month, two of which resulted fatally,
the state solicitor today arrested A.
G. Mason of Boston, a well known and
wealthy business man. a member cf
the piano firm of Mason & Hamlin.
The police suspect that Mr. Mason
has been involved in nearly all the
cases referred to, as the circum-
stances have been very similar. Mr.
Mason is a middle-aged man, but he
has been a victim of mental trouble
for which he was treated at the Mc-
Lean Asylum at Waverly. About a
year ago he was permitted to leave
the institution. Since that time, It is
said, he has been permitted to go and
come at will, and the fact that he has
been frequently seen about the locali-
ties In which the assaults occurred kd
to suspicion against him.
The peculiar assault cases ' which
have terrorized Cambridge and vicin-
ity as well as other suburban sections,
began last June. During the sumuer
there were half a dozen victims or an
unknown assailant, each of which was
struck down and beaten with a blunt
instrument. Early in October Miss
Agnes McPherson was assaulted in
