Hag gared and his iurve gone. Rev. Clarence Virgil Richeson today paces a cell in the county juil apparently aware of the terriblo consequences of the crime of which he Is accused of committing. The police claim that the' minister desired to rid himself of Avis Llnnell that he might marry another. Investigation today reveal ed the fact tlmt the girl was soon to become a mother. It is said here to day that a plea of insanity will be trumped up by friends of the minis ter in the event he is proven guilty of the crime charged.

Richeson resigned his posi tion as pastor this morning and the same was later accepted by members of the church board. The Minister's rapture. For several days the police in quiry made little progress relative to ascertaining the cause of Miss Lln nell's death, but finally it was learn ed that Richeson had bought cyanide of potassium at the drug store In Newton. Such discovery led the of ficers to prolong their investigation. Satisfied that Richeson was guilty of the crime, a dozen officers, headed by Superintendent Watts, remained outside the fashionable home of Grant Edmunds, in Urookliue, await ing the coming or going of the clergy man, i Frequent pulls at the door-bells, rappings and shouts failed to bring any response from those within the house, and the police, who were with out a -warrant, were unwilling to make a forcible entrance. i Mr. Edmands is the father of Miss Violet Edmunds, for whoso marriage to Mr. Richeson, on October 3 1 . cards had been issued. These Invi tations were recalled today. Druggist Faces Siiscct. The Edmands fnmily, however, re tain faith in Mr. Richeson and the only announcement in connection with the withdrawals of the cards was that the marriage had been post poned. Even when faced by William Hahn, the Newton druggist, who de clares that Richeson had purchased cynalde of potassium from him. a week ago Tuesday the minister was apparently unperturbed. Hahn. who has known Richeson for several" years, told how .Richeson walked Into his store. Tuesday even ing, Octobor 10, and said: "I've a dog at home that Is creat ing a disturbance. She will be a nuisance unless I can kill her soon." Hahn said that he responded to Richeson, "I never knew you had a dog," and that Richeson replied that he had kept it In his room. Inquiry by the police where Mr. Richeson roomed developed the pres ence only of a male dog owned by the landlord, who said Richeson, had never owned a dog during the eight months he had lodged there. Hahn said further that he sug gested chloroform to Mr. Richeson, but the minister wanted "something that will work quick." Cynaide of H)tassluni was mentioned as acting instantly, and the druggist said he gave Richeson enouuh to kill three dogs, but the minister tasked for mora and the preparation finally amounted to enough to poison ten men.
