When Afraionsd In Court.

accused Minister Pale and Hasssrd
When APraionsd in Court.
Boston, Nov. REV. Clarence v. +.
& 1l1cheson, pastor Of the Emmanuel
Baptist church Of Cambridge. was in
dicted on five counts charging murder
In the first degree by the Suffolk coun-
ty grand jury for the alleged poisoning
on Oct. II Of his former sweetheart.
Miss Avis w. Linnell, of Hyannis. It
is understood the Jurors were unani-
nous In ordering the indictment.
BY the returning OF this true bill,
the necessity Of holding hearing in
the municipal court is obviated. In
connection with this latter proceeding.
Rev. Mr.. Richeson appeared in the
lower court yesterday. but the case was
continued formally without action and
the clergyman taken back to jail i'm
mediately. BY a coincidence the day
had been fixed for the marriage Of Mr..
Richeson and Miss Violet Edmands Of
Brookline.
The minister as he stood in the dock
looked somewhat haggard and pale.
Despite the fact that he wore the same
ministerial garb In which he appeared
before in court he was scarcely recog-
mixed by those In the court room. His
clothes hung loosely about him as if
he had lost weight.
The Indictment, which is said to be
almost unique In the annals Of Massa-
chusetts homicides in which poisoning
has figured, IL Of the so-called blanket
type. and hve counts being so worded
AS to permit the Introduction Of evil
dence by the government as to any Of
the several methods by which the
poison may have been conveyed to the
dead Girl.
AS worded, the indictment indicates
that the government as yet is without
knowledge Of what means were en-
ployed to hand the poison to Miss Lin
nell and - uncertain also as to the
exact form n which the poison was
taken.
VI The date sof Mr.. Richeson's trial is
still tentatively set for early in jan
uary. but neither the district attorney
nor Attorney Dunbar would say
whether any agreement finally had
been reached IN the matter.
