COMP ROM|SE HINT
RICHESON CASE
Both Sides Scott at Rumor Plea
of Not Guilty Will Be
Changed.

Boston, December 1T.-There is still
people who are In position to be in
formed as to the correctness of the
now popular belief that the Rev
Clarence V. T. Richeson Will BIO placed
on trial January 10 for the alleged
murder of Miss Avis Linnell. Though
for the commencement of what prom
ises to be as hard fought u murder
trial us any held In Massachusetts
during recent years. and Judge George
y. Sanderson assigned to preside, IT. Is
predicted in some quarters something
is going to turn up which will cause
a poslponement If the vcnire is is
sued for the jurors, then there will be
no question raised in the mind OF any
one about Richeson coming to trial on
the date set. but this need not be
done until after the first OF the year.
Both the government and the de-
Tense in this case declare that any
compromise is out OF the question !;
that either Richeson is guilty or not
guilty of murder, and rthat the ruiAo
of second degree plea OF guilty is
agination. Such plea VIII not be
accepted by the government attorneys
or offered by the lawyers for the
clergyman. so they assert.
1t Is we'll understood there will he
difficulty In securing twelve unbiased
men to hear the evidence in this case.
Ono has difficulty day in locating n
person who does not have q positive
belief in either the innocence or guilt
of the young clergyman. Almost a
precedent will be established for Mass
achusetts by the speed with which
Richeson will face the accusation.
When the impaneling of the jury be-
gins on January 10 it Will be approx
mately three months to a day from
October ii, the date upon which Avis
Linnell died OF cyanide poisoning.
Meantime 1t Is said a capsule filled
with white powder and souvenir

hibits 10 be offered by the prosecution.
The capsule was found in MIR. Richie

among the property of the accused
