frequently In tho company of sev
enteen year old Avis Linnell. the
brightest of the local high school
student!), Sho had been bnptlz'tJ anil
received Into the church by tho young
minister un 1 the gossips of trie lltt e
village conquered them naturally at
tracted to each other und lo )Uc 1 for
them to wed.
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,

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-

Sensible Women Know
Foundation of Health
As health talks to women become more
general, both In the newspapers and on the
platform, the muss of women are begin
ning to realize what the more cultivated
have always known, that good health can
not he found In a powder box. The ex
ternals of health may be obtained In that
wav, but the basis of health lies deeper,
and yot la Just as enslly obtained .
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. It Is far
superior to salts, cathartic pills, waters,
etc., which are entirely too vloleut.
Women should see to It that they hare
at least one movement of the bo we la each
day. and when showing any tendency to
couHtlpatlon should take Ir. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin In the small dose prescribed.
A brief uso of It will s train the stomach
and bowel muscles that all forms of medi
cine can be dispensed with. Theso opin
ions are voiced by thousands of women,
after personal experience, among them
Alta XI. Lilly. Kedwlne, Calif., uud Mary
A. lleebc, St. Thomas, Nerada. t
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this
remedy before buying It la the regular
