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. Friends of the
accused already assert that he has
shown symptoms of insanity or sev
eral months past.
Rev. 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

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.
