THE RICHARDSON CASE.
the establishment Of the Innocence OF .
Business Partner!The Dead Mn1tOnAtro
EnAmoured of q Young Woman.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Two sensa-
tons resulted yesterday from the evil
1ence adduced at the inquest over the
murder of Frank Richardson, the mil
lionaire merchant, who was shot down
in his home at Savannah Christ
mas eve. The first sensation was testi-
mony establishing the probable inno-
cence of the business partner of the
murdered man, who has been under
suspicion as the murderer, it having
been alleged that the partner, just
previous to the murder, was accused
by Richardson of undue intimacy with
Mrs. Richardson. The second sensa-
ton was the fact that the testi-
mony tended to fix the re-
sponsibiGty for the crime on a
woman and her adviser, travelling
man, who are alleged to have black
mailed the deceased out of various
sums of money, covering period of
almost a year.
Charles Stanton, superintendent of
the electric light station, testified
that Richardson was very much af-
fected of Goldie Whitehead, a young
woman who resided at Stanberry,
Mo-, with whom Mr.. Richardson had
been on intimate terms and who APP
peared to be bounding him for money.
Sensational evidence is expected to-
day.
