AUTHORITIES WEAKEN POLICE INSPECTOR SAY'S MINIS TEIt WAS MONEY MAD AND I'OI XI) IT NECESSARY TO RID HIMSELF OF GIRL, Boston, Oct. 23. The "other man" bids fair to be the . pivotal point in deciding the fate of Rev. Richeson. Mr. Edmands has pledged bis fortune to clear the minister and today the cleverest detectives are scouring the tenderloin to find who the other man, suspected, Is and if he had been seen with the girl in cafes. Assistant Dis distc Attorney Lavetle said today he would present the case to he No vember grand jury. It is expected the trial will start in January. The case against Richeson is weak ening.

Richeson is more composed today and talks readily on any subject, save the one which mo-t vitally effects him that of tho murder charge, strenuous efforts are being made by him and his friends to frame up an alibi.

The Edmands family is busily en Raged in returning to their friends wedding presents and recalling more than one thousand wedding Invita tions for the marriage of their daugh ter to the accused minister, which was to have occurred October 31.

Seattle, Wash . Oct. 23. Ten thou sand unionists and socialists attend ed a mass meeting here yesterday to protest against the prosecution of the McXamara brothers. That a pyromaniac is operating in Pendleton has been the belief of many people for some time and an Incen diary attempt ma"ie upon the house occupied by Rev. Frank J. Milnes, pastor of the Presbyterian ' church, early Sunday morning, strengthens this belief. Only by the merest chance was a disastrous conflagra tion prevented and u3 it was, a large hole was burned in the corner of the pastor's woodshed, which adjoins the houe. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the young son of Rev. Milnes was awakened by a crackling noise outside his window and noticed a glare. He called to his father and told him there was a bonfire in the yard. Rev. Milnes arose and, upon investigation, discovered that the corner of his woodshed wag in 'Iames and he has- tily aroused the neighborhood. Be lieving that some miscreant had start ed the fire, the minister seized his rifle and conducted a hurried search but, failing to discover anyone 'In the immediate vicinity of his house, hastened back and began applying water to the fire. He first attempted to use his gar den hose but ice had formed in the nozzle and he was forced to resort to buckets, while the nozzle was thaw ing out. With the assl-tance of neighbors, he s -on extinguished the flames, but declares that the fire was burning so freely and rapidly that in another ten minutes it would have gained such headway that his resi lience would have been doomed to de struction. IiK-cniliiiry livitlenecs Found. After the quenching uf the flames, an investigation revealed the burnt ends of kinJl.ngs which had un doubtedly been used in i-tarting the fire. The house is located on east Coin t street and is ow ned by John Crow, the well known farmer, but neither the owner nor the occupant can ascribe any rea-on for the at c. nipt to injure them. Loth declare to their knowledge they have no ene mies and announce their belief that some fiend with a mania for burning was responsible for the blaze. Other Similar Attempt.-!. This ia the third time within a year that supposedly incendiary a'tempts have been made in the block in which the i'roiv house is situated. Not many weeks ago a barn on an' juljo-ining lot was burned and about a ear iigo a f;t'e was discovered on nearby premises with strong indica tions vf incendiary sin. Moreover, a number of other firej and near-fires in the last few week have been at tended with very suspicious circum stances. Thursday night, the barn of 1". F. Averill was discovered afire and the ri cent confl ignition which ''stroy.-d th. Oregon Feed Yard and the skat;ng rink has never been ex plained, the general belief being that it was .-et. About six weeks ago, it will i.e remembered, a house on Wil low street owned by Mrs. Downey, was discovered afire in the early morning a quant. ty of ker osene-so.tk-ed kindi'it being found under the house. There is no clew whatever to tho identi y of the malicious person or persons responsible for this chain ot s fires and the situation is growing so ba ! that many residents are growing uneasy.
