BOSTON, Oct. 2O.-RichesOn's trial'
is set for October 81, the day he was
to have been married.

BOSTON,, Oct. 20.-This city was
shocked today by the sensational ar
rest of Rev. Clarence Virgil Richeson,
pastor of the fashionable Emmanuel
Baptist church of Cambridge, who is
charged with murder in the first de-
gree in connection with the death of
Avis Linnell, aged 10, who died in her
bathroom at her home in the Young
Woman's Christian association build
ing Saturday as the result of cynaide
of potassium poisoning.
At first Miss Linnell's death was be-
lieved to be suicide, but when the
druggist at Newton told of selling the
pastor the poison few hours previous
to the girls death the police began a
hunt for the minister.
The hunt ended this morning at an
early hour at the home of Miss Viola
Edmands, a Boston heiress whom
Richeson had planned to marry on
October 81
The pastor was Immediately drag
ged from the house where he had been
secluded and taken into court where
he pleaded mot guilty" to an indict-
ment charging murder in the first de-
gree.
Miss Linnell has believed that she
would marry Rev. Richeson and it was
only upon the day OF her death that
she read of his coming marriage with
Miss Edmands. Her mother says the
girl took the poison believing that it
was medicine.
Miss Linnell came to Boston from
Cambridge to study music at the min
ister's suggestion. Only few hours
before her death she said she was go
ing to lunch with him and seemed well
pleased.
After her dinner she went to her
room and later her friends, hearing
peculiar sounds entered, and found her
with Her feet in a tub of water and a
package of cyanide of potassium on
the table.
Friends of the girl charge that |
Richeson manifested revolving indif-
ference when ey told him that Avis
had committed suicide.
In most Unconditional tone he re-
piled: "Well, why do you call me?'
Rev. Richeson preached as usual
On Sunday and was apparently little
affected by the tragedy. After the ser
vices he went to the Edmands home
where he remained until he was ar
rested.
