Miss Richeson is understood to be a guest at the Brookline home of M. Grant Edmandds, the wealthy father of Miss Violet Edmands, who was to have been married to MT. Richeson Oc- tober 31. It was from the Edmands home in the fashionable Chestnut Hill district of Brookline, that Richeson was taken when hewas placed under arrest Friday morning after an all night vigil by the police.

Richeson has released his fiances from her engagement, but her father when questioned about the mat ter over the telephone, today, refused to discuss it.
