circumstances which the police deteo-
tives have followed assiduously since
the death Of Miss Linnell from cyanide
Of potassium poisoning last saturday
II has been the expressed belief of the
Boston police that Miss Linnell got the
fatal poison from some person whom she
met on Saturday afternoon few hours
before she was found dead.
It was learned tonight. the police say.
that Mr.. Richeson called Miss Linnell by
telephone on Thursday, and according 70
a woman from whose home Mr.. Richeson
was in the custom of telephoning MISS
Linnell. the minister said: Well III see

Miss Linnell. who was nineteen years
old and student at the Conservatory
of Music, was found dead in the BATH
room of the Young Women's Christian
this city. At first the police believed that
she had committed suicide by poison.
but later developments indicated that
she had unknowingly taken cyanide OF
potassium. which had been sent TO her
by some other person, and that she
used il in the belief that IL would REM
edv a certain embarrassing phys con-
dition.
For several days the police inquiries
made no apparent progress. but informa-
ton received early to-day that Ny.
Richeson had purchased large quantity
OF this poison at drug store in Newton
where he was personally known, led the
authorities to arrange for his immediate
arrest. which, however, was not accom-
plished at once.
A dozen officers, headed by William =.

forced to maintain a vigil Of eight hours

CUMM|NS TO TESTIFY

Counsel Indicates He Will Try to
Show Conspiracy Caused
Carnegie Trust Failure.
BRINGS IN MORGAN'S NAME
Question Stricken Out Couples

Williams and J. j. Rollins
Trust Agreement Filed.

William J. Cummins, who is accused
Of helping himself to $4,000 which the
Nineteenth Ward Bank lent to the Car
negie Trust Company for a specific pur-
pose, will appear as a witness in his
own defence. Max u. Steuer, his coun-
sci, said last evening: THE German
army couldn't keep him from the stand"
If Justice Vernon Fl. Davis IS agree
able, it is Mr. Cummins's intention to
tell in detail about a conspiracy which
he thinks is responsible for the failure
Of the Carnegie Trust Company and his
(Cummins' present plight AT any
rate, he will try 10 refute the statement
that an agreement existed providing
that the $4,000 be held in trust by
the Carnegie Trust Company for the
purchase OF certain Van Norden loans
secured by stock of the Nineteenth and
Twelfth Ward banks.
Mr.. Steuer, in his cross examination
of Bradley Martin, jr.. president OF the
Nineteenth Ward Bank, the only wit
ness who has appeared so far in the
case. devoted the most of yesterday al
ternoon's session to an attack upon this
trust agreement idea. AS an indication,
however. of what he will try 10 inject
into the court record when Cummns
takes the stand, he said TO the witness:
Now, Mr. Martin, didn't Cummins tell
YOU that he was TO get Sl,5OU0tc for his
services as a broker in the promotion
and organization of the Independent
Fertilizer Company, and that II. 2.
Dawson, of j. p. Morgan &; Co, had sent
for him and said he should take only
$500 900 or Morgan would put him out
OF business; that 81 100000 was far too
much, and that then he had gone to
Clark Williams and Jordan j. Rollins
and they had told him to stand pat, but
that later. when the real test came, both
Williams and Rollins had deserted him
and some over to Morgan"
Clark Williams was then Superin-
tendent of Banks, and Rollins was his
counsel as well as counsel for Cummins.
Frank Moss, Assistant District At
torney, who had led Mr.. Martin through
his direct examination, objected strenu-
ousy to this question as incompetent,
Irrelevant and immaterlal.

Besieqers Enter House.

The deputy superintendent and his as
sistants. With a crowd Of newspaper men.
remained on guard until about o'clock
this morning, when Mr. Edmands ad-
mitted them. expressing surprise at the
appearance of the police and saying that
he had supposed the besieSers were all
newspaper men. Mr.. Edmands Is tho
father of Miss Violet Edmands. foe
whose marriage to Mr.. Richeson. on
October 81, cards had been issued. These
Invitations were recalled to-day. The
Edmands family maintain faith in Mr..
Richcson, and the only announcement in
connection with the recalling Of the
cards was that the marriage had been
postponed.
The setting Of October 81 as the date
for a further hearing IF Mr.. Richeson in
the Municipal Court developed a sad CO.
incidence. as that is the day on which
he was to have been married. But
neither the announcement of the date nor
any other happening i'm connection either
with his arrest or court appearance
seemed TO disturb the prisoner 70 any
great extent. Even when faced by Will
,am Hahn, the Newton druggist who
probably had more t. do with his arrest
than any other person. the minister was
unperturbed apparently. The druggist
declared Richeson had purchased a guam
tity of cyanide of potassium from MN
week ago Tuesday. As Hahn Was shown
into the room at Police Headquarters
Richeson left his seat and stepped FOR

By Farmers in Winter Nights

own, and we come back home with
new ideas that will not only jar US out
of some of our ruts, but will save
much labor and add considerably to
the profits.
When we remain away from home
a few days and then come back to the
familiar surroundings, there is feel
ing that the farm, our farm in parti-
cular, is pretty good place on which
to live and to work after all. We go
about our work more cheerful; we
put more zest into it and we are anx-
ious to see how some of our new ideas
will turn out There is an additional
incentive, and the feeling is not that
of "Oh, we'll, l know the result" but
of interest, more enthusiasm and
greater anticipation to see in the fin
ished product that which we are try
ing to accomplish.
During the winter months, there
will be poultry shows, corn shows. ex-
, hibits of dairy products, land shows
and congresses and live stock exhi-
bitions. Some of these will be in
our home town and others in distant
to plan to attend some Of these?
For instance, there is the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exhibition which is
held in Chicago from December to
December 8, and at this exhibition we
can see the greatest and best in breed
ing and feeding; we can see the re-
suits that have been accomplished
] = @c
| of labor. 1t is an object lesson of the
highest ideals, and a school of instruc-
ton to which we all can go to learn.
At an exhibition of this kind We have
the opportunity of meeting the most
progressive breeders and feeders and
farmers; and we can also see in their
exhibits what they have accomplished.
Sometimes We get the idea that we
are breeding and feeding about the
| best there is in the stock line; the boy
feels that father is pretty good hand
at the business and if he follows his
! methods he will be attaining the best.
But often when we get out and see
what others are doing we find that
comparison is somewhat of a disillu-
| siOniZer.
| If it is possible to do so, it will be
| we'll to take the entire family to any
of these exhibits, which are usually
gotten up in way to appeal to all
men and women alike.
1t will be as interesting to our wives
and to our sons and daughters as it
! will be to ourselves, to see the var
ious exhibits passed upon in the show
ring. We all have an interest in com.
mon, and all will be benefited.
If it is not convenient for father to
get away, arrange for the sons and
daughters to 60. 1t is the sons and
daughters that perpetuate the lines
Of improvement begun by the father.
Some of us, no doubt, have often
attended farm product exhibits and
| land shows; but there is something
new developing all the while and each
year there are many additional things
to see and to learn.
Let's think it over.

~ ISAAC L. TOTTEN.

Much has been said about city toll
ers who work day after day doing one
certain line OF work over and over
again as though they were auto
nations. Their work becomes habit;
they get in a rut, and most of them
seem to be content to remain on the
level which they have established for
themselves. Occasionally some force
comes along and jars one Of these
plodders out of the rut, and he opens
mis- eyes to the better opportunities
! that are on every hand. 1t is then
that something begins to move in the
immediate vicinity of the "jaree.'
The farmer, his family and the other
help about the farm are just as apt to
get into ruts as the toilers in the city.
Day after day the routine work is done
as it has been done for days, weeks
and years.
This unvarying routine gets monoto-
nous, SO much so that the work is Oft
en- done in a perfunctory manner. 1t
seems to be the easiest way OF doing
the work,too; and, even though bet
ter and more profitable way is sug-
gested, the habit has gotten such a
hold that each morning finds our feet
following in the same tracks that they
have followed the day before, and
many days before that.
Doing the work In this way causes
us to lose interest and we sometimes
imagine that most any other Occupa-
ton would be more interesting and en-
joyable. But most of those who let the
microbe Of dissatisfaction get too
strong a hold on them and quit the
farm, soon learn that there must have
been an invisible rose-colored glass in
the range of their vision as they
looked cityward.
1t does not seem to be in the natur-
al order of things for one to be abso-
lutely satisfied; we cannot imagine
what kind of person one would be
who was perfectly satisfied with every
thing. There is desire for diversion
innate in all normal human beings
and this diversion, if it takes us away
from our work, and relieves our minds
occasionally from the tedium of the
toll will make us feel as though there
was something more to this life than
being beasts of burden.
A good cure-temporary cure at
least-for the rut habit and for that
nothing-butwork feeling is to take a
vacation occasionally. OF course it is
easy to suggest such thing to far
mer but it is not easy for farmers to
get away from the farm any time they
wish, or very long at time. At this
season Of the year, however, the work
is less urgent than when the crops
are to be looked after; and, if we
have some one else at home who can
look after our part of the work, or ii
we have neighbors of the right sort,
we may be able to get away for a few
days, at least.
BY getting away from the farm oc-
casionally we can see what others are
accomplishing, and what methods they
employ. We get chance to compare
and contrast their methods with our
