which culminated in the murder and
today's execution was the world old
triangle two women and a man.
Back in I'JOfl, Rieheson, graduated
ouly a few month before from the
Newton Theological Seminary, was
called to the pastorate, of the Ifyan
11(8 Baptist church. Handsome, pol

Whether Avis Llnnell knew of the
other woman at this time Is not
known. It Is certain, however, that j thoroughly.
For the purpose of procuring a
uniform system of paying salaries
to county officials throughout the
state, Governor West is preparing a
bill which will be submitted to the
next legislature. Copies of the meas
ure will be distributed to the mem
bers of the legislature before the
session In January, bo that each one
will have an opportunity to study It
early In the summer she took the
diamond ring from her linger and
wore It no more. Hut there was no
announcement to the home people
that the engagement had been brok
en and there were only a few people
who knew that another woman had
come between the preacher and his
little country sweetheart.
.MIsh Llnnell went home in August
and shortly afterward Rieheson also
came to llyaunls to siend his vaca
tion. Prior to that time tho minis
ter had been noticed dining In Bos
ton restaurants with Miss Llnnell
and In llyaunls, and in the old town
the couple were much together and
the rumor was soon afloat that they
had patched up their differences and
would eventually be married.
In September Rieheson returned to
his pulpit and Miss Llnnell went
back to her music studies. At times,
her friends say, she seemed much ,
distraught and troubled. Finally on j
Sat unlay. October 1 i , tint young
music student told her girl friends
at tin; Young Woman's Cbritsian As
sociation, where she boarded, that
she was going to take dinner with
her "gentleman friend". Although
she did not call Rieheson by name,
she was underatood to mean him by
her friends.
No one saw the couple at their
meal. The last time they are known
to have been seen on the street to
gether was the day before Miss Lln-
nell's mother, who had been visiting
In Boston. returned home. Her
daughter accompanied her to tho rail
way station and after her train left.
according to the story of Ceorge
Maker, of llyaunls. who was there,
Rieheson joined Miss Llnnell. They
left the depot together.
Following her visit to her "gentle
man friend" Tor dinner. Miss Llnnell
returned to the Y. W. C. A. In high
spirits. She told her Mends that
she had been given some medicine
and that she was sure now that her
"headaches'" would be cured.
That night, young women occupy-

gift or the minister.
Meanwhiio Rieheson had h-cu In

church. Hero his work wan crown

orite with many members of (be con

was tho daughter of .Moses (iraut Kd

The governor said last night:

"Whenever tho legislature con
venes, friends of some officials In a
country who are elected come In with
bills to boost those officials' sala

legislature consequently do not get
any of the raises. A score of bills
to raiso salaries was Introduced at
t lie last legislature, but I vetoed
them all.
"Salaries should be equalizedaud

projose to do Is this: 1 will pre

submitted to Oranges and other or

will be asked to re t u rn to me an

county should pay out in salaries.
Out of all that are submitted an aver

and a total secured for the state.
For example, say that after all these

found tht $450,000 Is required to
pay all county officials. This will
be submitted to the tax commission
and It will determine what amount
