lease at Goldfield and was the or.
ganizer of the Montgomery Sho

way or another identified himself
with almost every important pro

for a long time president of the
Southern Nevada Telephone ant
Telegraph company and his efforts
in great degre contributed tt
the establishment by Clarenc,

He had but recently made the
deal for the Halifax property, and
his honesty and unceasing energy
were about to reap the reward he
so well deserved He had intended
to return to Tonopah about the

Christmas with the friends who had
been his associates years past and
these friends were joyfully. looking
for his homecoming.
Words are hard to command that

ACCUSED OF NUMBERING YOUNG WOMAN
Police In Boston Concentrate Efforts In the
Richeson Case---Belief That the Preacher
Dined With Dead Girl Before She Took
Poison.

BOSTON, Oct. 23.-To strength
en- the chain of circumstantial evil
dence upon which the Rev./C. V. I.
Richeson was arrested for the al
legged murder of Miss Avis Linnell.
the police concentrated their efforts
to ascertain whether it was Richie
son or another person who dined
with the young music student last
Saturday afternoon few hours be-
fore she took the cyanide of pctas-
sium from which she died.
According to the police they have
evidence indicating that Richeson
was her companion. They have
worked on the theory that the
man with whom Miss Linnell dined
was the person who gave her the
fatal powder which she took believ-
ing 1t would remedy her physical
condition.
Police attempts to obtain from
the room in Cambridge occupied
by Richeson some article which
might further connect him with
the charge were frustrated.
Chief Inspector Dugan said that
when his inspectors went to the
PASTORS rooms they found every
thing in state of chaos, the re-
suit of a general ransacking which
took place prior to the police visit.
1t is not known who was re-
sponsible for this but it has been
given ou that a newspaper reporter
impersonated an officer and gained
entrance to the apartment.
That the police have discovered
the restaurant at which Miss Lin
nell ate luncheon Saturday and
that Il eson was the man who ae-
eompaMtd her, was reported from
headquarters. 1t was said that {
