RICHESON'S WOUNDS
NOT so CRITICAL

BOSTON. Dec. 2O-At noon district
Attorney Pelletier said the Rev c. "
r. Richeson's condition was not re-
garded as critical as at first thought
and the trial would begin on January
Is, as originally scheduled.
For a time it was thought Richie
sons wounds had been inflicted with a
piece of Jagged glass, taken from a
lar Of marmalade sent him by friends.
Later. however, it was established be-
vond a doubt that the cuts were made
with a piece Of tin torn from the spout
of a prison cup.
Jail employees notified Philip Dun
bar and William A. Morse, attorneys
for Richeson, of his attempted sui
eide. They. in turn. telegraphed John
L. Lee, the Lynchburg, Va. lawyer IN
charge of the defense. Neither Morse
nor Dunbar would make a statement
Jail officers this afternoon declared
that Richeson, in their belief. did not
try to kill himself but that he mutt
lated himself in an insane frenzy
while brooding over his connection
with Miss Linnell.
At 1 o'clock the Jail physicians SAID
that. barring possible complications
there was little doubt as to Richeson
ultimate recovery.
