There was no formal announce ment of un engagement. Hut Mis Linnell hud given up most of her so cial diversions and was spending nearly- ull of her time in church work. She was the "right hand" of the pas tor In most of the events and took his part in a dispute that arose from his methods of preaching. It was Ulcheson's boast that he always culled "a spade a, spade," and his forceful preaching, In which he as sailed sin in every guise, soon split the congregation In factions, In April 1910, Rev. Richeson resigned and stated that he had accepted a charge In Immanuel, Cambridge. He had planned to stay there only a short time and later marry Miss Linnell, according to what' their friends un derstood, and go to China as a mis sionary. Then Avis Llnnel, who had a splen did voice, left the little country vil luge and went to Boston. She stated that she was going there to study In the Conservatory of Music so that she might be better able to "aid her hus band" In his church work. At that time she was wearing a handsome diamond ring which it was under stood by her people had been the gift of the minister. Meanwhile Richeson hud been In stalled in the fashionab'e Cambridge church. Here his work was crowned with success nnd he became a favor ite with many members of the con gregation who professed to be charm ed with his plain talks from the pul pit. One night at a church reception the young pastor was introduced to Miss Viola Edmands.. She was the daughter of Moses Grant Edmands. one of the wealthiest residents of Brookline, and reputed to be in pos session in her own right of half a million dol'.ars received from the es tate of her grandfather. Miss Edmands was a different type from the little country village maid who had done so much for the preacher down on Cape Cod. Proud and Imperious In manner, she was attracted toward-the young minister and soon he was paying devoted at tention to her. In a short time he was her slave and soon she told her Intimates that she and the minister were to wed soon. Whether Avis Linnel knew of the other woman at this time Is not known. It Is certain however that early In the summer she took the diamond ring from her finger and wore It no more. But 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. Miss Linnell went home in August and shortly afterward Richeson also came to Hyannis to spend his vaca tion. Prior to that time the min ister had been noticed dining in Bos ton restaurants with Miss Linnell and In the old town the couple were much together and the rumor was soon af'oat that they had patched up their differences and would eventu ally be married. In September Richeson ' returned to his pulpit and Miss Linnell went back to her music studies. At times, her friends say, she seemed much dis traught and troubled. Finally on Saturday, October 14, the young mu sic student told her girl friends at the Young Women's Christian asso ciation, where she boarded, that she was going to take dinner with her "gentleman friend." Although she did not call Richeson by name she was understood 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 Lin nell's mother, who had been visiting in TJston, returned home. Hor dauf oter accompanied her to the railroad station and after her train left, according to the story of George Baker of Hyannis, who was there, Richeson Joined Miss Llnnel. They left the depot together. Following her visit to her "gentle man friend" for dinner. MIhs Linnell returned to the Y. W. C. A. In hlsh spirits. She told her friends that she had been given some medicine and that she was sure now that her "headaches" would be cured. That night young women occupy ing rooms adjoining heard groans in the bathroom adjoining Miss Linnell's room. They broke down the door but the girl became unconscious and died before n physician arrived. For u short time it was believed that she had killed herself. It was suggested that Richeson had told her that he was to wed the "other woman" and. that this fact had caused her to etvj her life. An autopsy, however, r$ vealed that she was about to become a mother and that cyanide of potas sium had been the cause of death. The fact that the gird was In a delicate condition aroused suspicion and the police began to shadow Rich eson. It developed that, when the little country girl was found dying her nearest chum telephoned to Richeson who demanded to know whether she said anything about him. When told she had not, .i Is alleged that he demanded why he had been failed and notified the girl to tell MIhs Linnell's people and the police. Richeson Immediately deserted his lodging and went to the Brookline mansion of Moses Grant Edmands, where he stayed In strict seclusion. The next day he went down town and engaged an uttorney to represent his Interests. On October 19, William Hahn, a druggist In Newton Centre, where Richeson attended theological school, to Our Gify mm Mhm ill ISobshshs We are showing a new line of White Lingerie DRJLSSBS ake This Your Resting Place We Save You Money on Even- Purchase. M infill : HI Alssandsr ASK FOR S. & II. GREEX TRADING STAMPS told the police that he had sold Richeson cyanide of potassium. "He told me that he had a pet dog that he wanted to kill," Hahn told the police, "and I told him that he ought to use ether. He said that he didn't like the odor and then I sug gested syanide. I gave him a pack age but he insisted on more. As he wus leaving he cautioned me to say nothing about the matter." On this evidence and the known ac quaintance of the minister with Miss Llnne'.l the arrest of Richeson was determined on. The police surround ed the mansion on the night of Oc tober 19, but admission was refused. Finally, early next morning they were admitted and found the minis ter in bed. He was formally arrested on a murder charge and protested hlsj! Innocence, The theory of the police from the start was that the minister was re sponsible for the girl's condition and that he had promised to get her med icine which would effectually hide her shame from the world. Instead the latter admitted he gave her cap sules filled with dry cyanide. , The girl believing Implicity in the min ister, partook of the deadly drug be lieving it was in reality medicine for the purpose Intended. After his arrest the members of the Edmands family stood by the minis ter. They proclaimed their belief in his Innocence and it was announced that they would finance his defense. On Thanksgiving day Miss Edmands sent flowers and dainties to the ac cused man In his cell and said she had implicit confidence that he would soon be free and they would be wed in the end. On the night of December 20 Richeson wus heard moaning and crying in his cell. Finally he asked a guard to send for a doctor. Cine was soon there and investigation re vealed the fact that the minister, probably In a moment of mental ab erration, had fearfully mutilated him self with a piece of tin he had se cured and sharpeneA to a razor edge on the floor of the cell. So serious wero the wounds inflicted that the doctors were hurriedly called and were forced to complete the opera tion the man had began and for a time he was in grave danger of dying from blood poisoning. That Richeson had planned to have the operation he attempted figure In his defense was charged by the prose cutor and he was not surprised when on January 6 last, he was furnished with a confession of guilt by Rlche son's lawyers. When the confession was repeated In court on January 9, there was nothing for Judge Sander son to do but impose the only penalty by law for first degree . murder. Friends of Richeson started an agita- NOT SALTS, OIL OR PILLS BUT GASCARETS No Olds How Sick Your Stomach; How Hani Your Head Allies or How Bilious Casearets Make You Feel Great.

Tho most Important thing that a wo man can do for herself, and about which she Is often most neglectful. Is to watch the condition of her stomach and bowels. The weary eves, the bad breath, the fre quent headachea, the plmplea, the general air of lassitude Is nine times out of ten the result of constipation or Indigestion, or both. Many simple remedies caa be ob tained, but the best In the estimation ct most women Is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin. It Is mild, pleasant to the taste and exactly suited to ber needs.
