MINISTER CHARGED WITH AVIS LINNELL'S MURDER
 IS HANGED IN EFFIGY

guilty of the terrible crime which has placed him in the gallOws' shadow, his friends among the congregation of Immanuel Baptist Church here will make every effort to prevent accept ance of his resignation should it be sent to the board of deacons from the narrow cell where he is confined in Charles street jail, across the Char les river, in Boston
 True, there are those who declared today they have never felt the abso- lute trust in the minister.
 Rev. Richeson was indeed a ''popu- Iar'' preacher. He had views, most decided views, on what the minister should give to his parishioners in the way of theological teachings. Accord ing to Mrs. M. R. Rumney. chairman of the finance board of Immanuel church, and one of those who believe a terrible mistake had been made, CTS or bitter enemies among his con- gregation by his tirades against exist ing social conditions. As during his pastorate in Hyannis, where the sim- pie Cape Coolers had been used only to the expounding of Gods word from the Bible, many of the long time members of the church severed their be taught in simple, direct style, the straight doctrine of the Good Book.
 But Richeson's almost sensational style of preaching brought in more new members than it lost him old, and the majority were pleased Riche- sons preaching especially was attrac- tive to the young people, who took more interest in church services at Immanuel Baptist church than they had ever before.
 With the young girls Richesonu was particularly popular.
 It was the new members of his church and the younger set, who. when the matter of his resignation was preached, pleaded that every chance be given that no terrible mis- take be made by them in their re- questing a resignation which would mean damnation if he is acquitted

 Cloudy weather has prevailed gen. orally during the last 24 hours in the central and eastern sections with light rain along the coast north of Virginia Light showers were also reported from the northwest and Texas northeastward to lower Michi- gan. The temperatures are lower over the Rocky Mountain districts. Denver, Colo. reported a minimum temperature of eighteen degrees and killing frosts were reported as far south as Dodge City, Kas.

ASSAULT CASE.
f. p. Barnaby Fined $1,000 and Costs
by Judge Withee.

Being charged with assault, E. p
Balnaby of North Arson was before
Judge Withee in the Municipal court
at Madison. Friday afternoon. The
alleged assault grew out of fracus
that was started between Barnaby
and b. Weiner, a resident of Arson
and a travelling salesman. Weiner's
story was that a few weeks ago he
carried some cloth to NJ. l.. French's
store where Barnaby is a clerk to
have made into a suit. The suit was
made up and delivered to Weiner.
Weiner said ii did not fit and he went
to the store several times to have it
refitted Friday as he was on his
way to Arson he saw Barnaby in the
store and Barnaby invited him in to
talk over the matter of the suit deal.
After some conversation between the
two men. Barnaby told Weiner to
either pay or get out, and, as Weiner
testified, Barnaby pounced on him
and tried to push him backward out
of the door Weiner grabbed hold of
Barnaby's vest and tore 1t partly off
of him and in the scuffie pulled out
the latter's watch and valuable pa
pers. Weiner started across the
street and Barnaby followed him and
as Weiner testified, threw him down
again and checked him into insensi-
bility After several witnesses had
testified and c. o. Small put up a
strong argument in defense of Vein
er,Judge Withee found Barnaby guilty
and imposed a fine of $1,000 and
costs.

Ellen FOslOm Dow,

Many people in Skowhegan and
Cornville have lost good friend in
the death of Mrs. Chandler Dow. She
had not been we'll for some time but
her last illness was short. Within a
few weeks she had been on the street
She was born in Cornyille Dec. 8
lS&S and was the daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus Folsom. On
August 6. lists she married Chandler
Dow. who was at that time engaged
in business in the West, but for many
years mas been a prominent merchant
tailor of this town at the corner of
Water street and Madison avenue.
One son is living Fred c. Dow, who
has succeeded his father in business.
A younger son. Frank r., died Thirty
one years ago at the age of Eve years.
She had one brother living, Frank r
Folsom, who for many years has been
1 well known business man of this
town.
Mrs. Dow was a quiet woman of
unselfsh spirit and sunny disposition.
She was a thoughtful neighbor. Put
in her home the noDler characteristics
of womanhood appeared in greater
fullness. Love patience, endurance.
hope and cheerfulness were conspi-
cuous elements in her character and
made her home a comfort to her
household Peace and contentment
were hers. She loved the innocent
things, the birds, the pets, the flow
ers.
She was woman nobly planned
She could warn, comfort and com
mand. From her girlhood days,
though of a retiring disposition, yet
she was self-reliant, and self-assert-
ing, without any assumption of su-
periority.
She drank deeply of the cup of
life's experiences. Joy and sorrow
smiles and tears were hers She saw
the good in others and passed the
unpleasant to one side. With the
approach of the end her calmness did
not forsake her She spoke of it's
coming without fear and made all
about her cheerful. Gently she came
to the end and she was not here but
there.
