RlcHEsoN DENIES ALL WRONG.
Says That Miss Linneil and Not Him
self Broke Their Engagement.

Boston. Oct. 25.-A local newspaper
published this morning g. statement
said to have been made by the Rev.
Clarence V. T. Richeson to an intimate
friend whose name is withheld.
In this statement Richeson is quoted
as having said that he never wronged
Avis Linnell in any way, and that it
was she, not he, who broke the engag
ment. The statement says:
TT is true that at one time Avis Lin
nell and I were engaged to be mar
ried.
'"There was a time when I thought
that no girl in the world could compare
with her, and I eagerly looked forward
to the time / could make her my WIFE
But trouble that / had not dreamed
OF arose. 1t was nothing that I could
have prevented. Avis mind concern
went a change. She wanted to become
an opera singer, instead of passing her
time in a parsonage as the wife of a
man at the head of small church.
That is the cause of our broken en-
gagement.
when she remained determined in
spite of my endeavors to have her
abandon such q plan and become my
wife, and 7 could only acquiesce.
Il did not call off our engagement.
That action was taken by Avis Linnen
herself.
L
shall produce three witnesses who can
bear me out i'll this. They knew all
about our match falling through and
they viii tell the reason, just as L have
given it.
For months I had hardly a passing
acquaintance with Avis LinneII. There
fore could not have played the init
mate part in her affairs that [ have
been pictured as doing. Since Avis
cancelled our engagement. Since Avis
have seen her but seldom.
1t is true that / called at the Lin
nell house last summer while spending
my vacation at Hyannis. But L called
merely as a former pastor would drop
in on some of his old-time parishion-
ers.
THE diamond ring that I had given
to Avis as a token of our engagement
was returned to me by her. I did not
ask for it. At the meeting when she
called our engagement off, Avis remov-
ed the ring from her finger and in
sisted that L should take it.
Il have letters written to me by Avis
that shows that she regarded our en-
gagement as at an end

TOBACCO TRUST PLAN
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Independents Claim That 1t viii Not
Restore Competition.

New York, Oct. 25..Opponents and
supporters OF the plan which the
American Tobacco company has map
ped out fo- disintegration both had
their innings in the United States cir
cult court here today. Counsel for the
so-cetlled independent tobacco man
ufacturers and producers had filed
their brief Of objections but a few
hours when lawyer for e. committee
or the PREFER ed stockholders Of the
trust petitioned the court that he be
heard in support of the plan
The attorney said that he represent
ed owners of 458,000 shares of the
trusts preferred stock. The plan, he
said, would not only fairly and hon
estly dissolve the corporation, but
safeguard the interests of the stock
holders. Should the court grant his
petition, he will submit his contentious
at the day set for public hearing Oc-
tober 80, or as soon thereafter as
practical. Seniority right to the courts
ear would seem to be vested with the
So-called independents, who fled their
objections first.
Counsel for the objectors, after sub
mltt1ng their contention that the pro-
posed dissolution plan does not, in
reality, dissolve the trust to such an
extent as TO make competition among
It's segments possible, suggests that
each segment be entrusted to entirely
distinct and different groups of stock
holders from those in each other seq
rneEt The brief submits data con-
cerning each branch of the trusts
trade, including cigar. cigarette and
tfnfoii manufacturers, to show that
The companies arising from the wreck
of the trust would still control the
market as much in their entirety, as
they have ever done. The interests in
each segment being the same as the
interests in any othar segment, the
petition points out, would result in,
non n-competition. because stockholders
woIld be competing with themselves
were the reverse true.
Tha objecters further point out that
the plan contemplates leaving intact
the United Cigar Stores company.
No plan," it asserts, tcan be eff
fective to restore competition which
does not provide for dividing the bus
mess and property OF the United Ci-
gar Stores company among separate
concerns, owned by absolutely disin-
terested groups cf Individuals

No Motive For
Knabe Murder
NEITHER ROBBERY NOR ASSAULT
COMMITTED.
THE POLICE STILL AT SEA
Coroner Positive 1t is a Case Of Mur4
der, But Police Captain Sees Slight
Possibility of Woman's Suicide.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 25.-"If DR..
knabe was murdered, as appears, I am
SATISFIED she was. murdered by a per-
son with whom she was acquainted,
and that she voluntarily let this per-
son into her apartment. But the the
ory of suicide still will not let itself
be neglected.
Police Captains Summing Up.
With this statement, Captain William
Holtz, chief of the detective depart
ment, summed up tonight the days
activity by the police in the investiga-
ton of the death of DR.. Helene Knabe,
former state bacteriologist whose
throat was cut While she lay on her
bed at an undetermined hour last
Monday night.
Coroner Says 1t is Murder.
i cannot see anything but murder
in this case" said DR.. c. Q. Durham
coroner of the county, who began his
inquest today. THE instrument Of
death was not found and circurn-
stances indicating suicide appear to
me negligible
Robbery Was Not Motive.
Captain Holtz said that he did not
intend to reflect upon the character Of
DR.. Knabe. in saying he believed she
knew the murderer if she was mur-
dered. 1t is certain that robbery was
not the motive, and physicians have
hCSAdOi lIIclL pCISOudl aSSduil was not
committed. THE heavy street dust
that had settled upon the outer sllis
of the windows of DIR. Kna;be's fiat was
und1sturbed when our men examined
them.
Lights Were Burning.
The electric lights in the bedroom
wer burning when DR.. Knabe's body
was discovered yesterday morning.
These are but q. few of the indica,-
tions that lead me to believe she knew
the person that killed her, if indeed
she did not commit suicide. But wa
are working on the murder theory"
Cousin and Assistant Questioned.
Some of DR.. Knabe's friends sug-
gested to the police that the theory
that she ended her own life should not
be cast aside, though the knife with
which she was killed disappeared. Ac-
Cord1ngly her cousin, Miss Augusta
Knabe, and Miss Katherine McPher-
son, DR.. knabe's assistant, who found
her dead, We're questioned at length
Each insistently denied that she saw
knife in the bedroom or had cover
ed up any evidence tending to show
suicide. Miss Mcpherson said she pull
ed Dr.. Knabe's nightdress down over
her body, Miss Knabe that she laid a
pillow across the body.
Suicide Not Impossible.
There is this to be said for the sui
CluG llieOIy, SdlQ Cdpldin SIL-
er the examination of Miss Knabe and
Miss Mcpherson. ''Dr. Knaibe was d
tarined gynanast and she could have
put up a powerful resistance to an as
sailant. There were no signs of a
struggle in the bedroom. Blood was
not spattered about. The body was
not distorted. AS to the wound one
familir with anatomy as she was and
with a sharp knife could have cut the
throat with a strong right hand slash
such as killed DR.. Knabe."
