HER CHARACTER GOOD
WITNESSES TESTIFY IN BEHALF OF
MRS. a. Il. RICHARDSON.
On the Street at Night with Stewart
Fife Because She Was Searching
for Her Husband.

PLATTSBURG, Mo-, Jan. 23-Mrs. Addie
b. Richardson's defense was begun to-
day in her trial here for the murder of her
husband, Frank w. Richardson, at Savan-
nah. The defense will, it is expected, finish
tomorrow when the defendant will take
the stand. To-day il was shown that Mrs.
Richardson's trips about the streets of Sa-
vannah after night in company with Stew
art Fife, which fact the State brought out
yesterday, were to find her husband.
Johnnie Richardson, fourteen years old, the
first witness called by the defense. told
of going with his mother at IL 80 o'clock at
night to find his father, and how. after Fife
had located him intoxicated in a hotel,
Mrs. Richardson had gone there and taken
him home. This was corroborated by Mrs.
Gertruoe Grant, sister of the dead man,
and by the hotel proprietor. Others told of
Mrs. Richardson's good character. They
were Rev. John Atwil. rector of the
church where Mrs Richardson attended,
and who had lived at the Richardson home;
Rev. a. r. Hunt and Peter Christensen,
the latter a member of the grand jury that
indicted Mrs. Richardson. Bruce Stanton
testified that he had made tracks in the
snow about the Richardson house on the
night of the murder while examining the
premises. DR.. W. NJ Kerr, a resident Of
savannah for twelve years, testified to
Mrs Richardson's good character. Peter
Christensen was asked
You never heard others discuss her
character"
mo, sir because I suppose there was
nothing bad in it to discuss"
And you signed the Indictment against
her for MURDER
Eyes, sir"
A score of witnesses from the leading
families of Savannah were placed on the
stand late this evening and they all tes-
titled to Mrs. Richardson's good character.
This was to offset the statements of Leon
ard Mcdaniel and Carl Guenther, who tes-
titled that they saw 4drs. Richardson and
Stewart Fife on the street together late at
night.
Frank Richardson. the twelve-year-old
son or Mrs. Richardson, was put on the
stand and il was expected that he would
be called upon to give important evidence
regarding the whispered talk with his IA
just before his father went home to his
death. The State, however, made no at
tempt to cross-examine him and he was
not asked what his father said.
John ID. Richardson. brother of the muir
dered man, testified that when he went TO
Savannah. Mo. after receiving the news of
his brothers death he hired two lawyers
to help the prosecuting attorney run down
en-. he said, independent of the interests of
his sister-in-law. The witness also testi-
fed to Mrs. Richardson's good character
sister. niece and other relatives of the
dead man were placed on the stand and
all testified TO the good character of the
defendant
When court adjourned tonight all the
testimony for the defense was in executing
that to be given by the defendant Mrs
Richardson. She will probably take the
stand tomorrow morning. Mrs. Richard
