Richeson Faces Church Members.

The Rev Mr.. Richesen, late today.
brayely faced two leading members of
his church and declared 4 am inno-
cent and will prove it when the time
comes" The two men, a. f. Watson,
treasurer and y. t. Hughes, both of
the Emmanuel Baptist church of Cam
bridge, paid visit to the pastor in

the Rhode Island clergyman who is to
marry the younger sister of Violet Ed
mands to whom Rev. Richeson WAS en-
gagged. The pastors protestation of
| his innocence was made to each of the
visitors.
Another visitor to the prisoner, to-
day, was his sister, Miss l.. V. Richie
son of Saranac Lake, n Y. The usual
time limit allowed to visitors was
overlooked and Miss Rteheson spent
nearly an hour at the door of his cell.
All that money and the legal profess
sion can provide To give aid to Richie
sons claim that he will prove his in
nocence" viii be Forthcoming. Moses

Stated that Richeson would have the
! best counsel that money can secure
| This was inferred as an assurance
that the wealth Of his daughter, an
| ieiress in her own right. would be
drawn upon Still further assistance
| has been promised the minister, how
ever from his own family. Words of
Ieneoura cement and assurance of sup
port came today from DR. William y.
Richeson of Amherst, Va, a wealthy
uncle, who declared his fortune was
at the command of the attorneys for
the defence.
Thus Rev Mr.. Richeson, although
penniless himself, will be able to draw
upon three fortunes for his defence.
One of the perpleXing problems which
have confronted the prosecution in the
investigation of the case is the APP
parently long time in which the syan-
ide of potassium acted before it caused
the death of Miss Linnell. The medical
examiner, DR.. Leary, in his report, de-
! elared that death ensued % minutes
| after the poison was taken. Experts
1 have declared this strange in view OF
| the fact that cyanide, one of the
] deadliest of poisons, is supposed to
cause instantaneous death.
| Various explanations are being add
vaneed for this seeming Inconsistency
One is that the girl took such an ex-
ceedingly large dose of the poison
that. like other poisons when taken in
over doses, failed to act at once. This
lis apparently borne out in the fact
that the girl vomited Immediately af-
ter taking the drug. Another and a
directly opposite superstition is that
the poison had deteriorated through
chemical action This possibility will
be investigated by an analysis of a
quantity of cyanide of potassium tc
be secured from the supply at the
II Hahn drug store.
Again It is advanced that the drug NAV
have been so diluted when taken that its
L power was lessened. Here another per-
picking points has bothered the police

Statement by Druggist Hahn Regarding
Conversation with RiCheSOn at Time
OF Alleged Purchase Of Poison.
Accused Man Receives Visitors Including Two
Members Of The Cambridge Church.

Boston, oct. 43-A startling bit Of
evidence which has been guarded by
the police for several days only to leak
out. tonight, may put in an entirely
new light the position Of Rev. Clar-
enee Y. T. Richeson, the Cambridge
pastor who is confined in a cell in
Charles Street Jail on the charge Of
fatally poisoning his former sweet
heart. Avis Linnell.
When the police gave out a state
ment as to evidence which had been
given them by William II. Hahn the
Newton druggist, where the Cambridge
pastor is alleged to have bought a
considerable quantity of cyanide of
potassium on the Tuesday preceding
the death of the Linnel girl by the
same drug. they declared the pastor
had asked the druggist for a poison
which would kill dog about to give
birth to puppies
Tonight, it rs stated on authority
which cannot be quoted but which
cannot be disputed that Druggist Hahn
added another sentence to the CONVEX
sations he claims 20 have had with the
minister. the significance of which APP
pears highly important. Mr.. Hahn
states that the minister also said
4 want a poison which will kill the
puppies without killing the dog
Taken in connection with the fact
that the police have for some time
been working on the theory that the
Linnell girl undoubtedly took the drug
in the belief that it was to remedy her
physical conditions. the theory is adj
vanced that if Mr.. Rieheson bought
cyanide Of potassium with view of
giving it to his former sweetheart, he
did so only in the thought that it
would remedy her condition.
Druggist Hahn declares, however, it
is claimed. that he distinctly stated
that he knew of no medicine or drug
which would bring about the situation
which the minister outlined.

Retail Lumber Dealers.
AFFECTS EASTERN STATES

Action Is Filed in New York City and
is Brought Against the Eastern
States Retail Lumber Dealers AS
sociation--Accusato AIIege Con-
spiracy to Maintain High Prices
and the Use of the Blacklist.
New York, May 20.-Sweeping
charges of a gigantic conspiracy to
maintain high prices, to blacklist con
Germs not regarded as proper" trade,
and to violate generally the Sherman
antitrust law, are made in govern.
ment suit filed by Attorney General
Wickersham in the United States
court here against the so called lum
Der trust.
Ten trade organizations and more
than $50 individuals are named as de
PENDANTS in this suit, which may be
the first of several planned by the de-
partment of justice against combina-
tions and retailers in staple commodi-
ties and the necessaries of life to
prevent the ultimate consumer from
buying anywhere, except from local
retailers
The governments suit is replete
with sensational allegations and il is
asserted that builders and consumers
of lumber the country over are at the
mercy of the retailers organizations
in different sections of the United
States.
The suit filed is against the Eastern
States Retail Lumber Dealers asso-
citation, which is the central body CT
nine local organizations covering five
states, the District of Columbia and
the cities of Baltimore and Philadel-
phia.
BIackmailins System Alleged.
The government charges, in brief,
that by an elaborate system of black
listing not only individual consumers
but some of the largest industrial
corporations have been prevented
from dealing directly with wholesalers.
BY alleged unlawful agreements and
acts, it is charged, that all competi-
tion for the trade of the contractor,
the builders, the manufacturer of fin.
ished lumber products and the indi-
vidual consumers has been thrown
entirely into the hands of the retailers
In the Eastern States Retail Lumber
Dealers association and its constitu-
ent organizations.
The governments bill alleges that
in some localities the wholesaler sell.
ing to a consumer has either been
heavily fined or expelled from the or.
ganization.
Officials of the department of jus.
tice regard the suit as the most i'm.
portant in principal of any yet under.
taken by the government against al
legged conspiracies said to affect the
cost of living.
1t is believed that should the courts
uphold the governments contention
that it is violation of the Sherman
antitrust law to prevent the ultimate
consumer from buying direct from the
producer, other suits will be started
against combinations of retailers al
legged to be in control of the market
ing OF many of the commodities OF
life.
