BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 28; (Special) Absolute denial that Rev. Richeson ever purchased cyanide of potassum from a druggist named Hahn, and the production of correspondence from Miss Linnet to the minis- ter proving that he was not res- ponslble for her condition, is included in the outline of the preacher's defense as published today. It Is generally believed here that he will prove his in- nocence. muzzle foremost, when the trigger caught upon some obstacle with the result that the weapon exploded. The bullet entered the left breast and came out under the right arm. Dr. Hoover, who went as far as Glide, and turned back upon finding that the man was dead, is of the opinion that death was almost instantaneous. In fact, he says the bullet penetrat ed the vital organs and no power on earth could have saved the patient. Coroner N, T.

While the attor neys for tho defense are cheerful, It can be plainly seen they are worried. During the first few days the defend ant's uttorneya entertained little doubt but what McNamara would be acquitted without prolonged deliber ation upon the part of the jury. As the days have passed, however, there has been a change in the attitude of Attorney Parrow and his assistants, and they feel as though the prose cution Is loaded with evidence detri mental to the defendant.
