RICHESON TRIAL
MAY BE POSTPONED
Talk Of Compromise in Case
Of Boston Pastor Eenied
By Both Sides

BOSTON, Dec. 20.--There is still a
lingering doubt in the minds Of some
people who are in a position TO be
informed as TO the correctness Of the
now popular belief that the Rev. Clar-
euce V. T. Richeson will be placed on
tial on January is for the alleged
murder of Miss Avis Linnell.
Though it is true this date has been
fixed upon for the commencement Of
what promises to be as hard-fought a
murder trial as any held in Massa-
chusetts during recent years, and
Judge George A. Ssnderson assigned
to preside, IL is predicted in some
quarters something is going 10 turn
UP which will cause postponement.
II the venire is issued for the Jurors
then there win be no question raised
IN the mind of anyone about Richeson
coming 10 trial on the date set, but
this need not be done until after tho
first Of the year.
Both the Government and the de-
fense in this case declare that any
compromise is out Of the question;
that either Richeson is guilty or not
guilty Of murder, and that the rumor
OF a second-degree plea Of guilty Is
wholly the product Of some ones i'm
agination. Such a plea will not be
accepted by the Government attorney
or offered by tho lawyers for the olei-
gyman, so they assert.
II is we'll understood there will be
difficulty in securing twelve unbiased
men 10 hear the evidence in this case
One has didiculity today in locating
a person who does not have a positive
belief in either tho innocence or guilt
OF the young clergyman.
Almost precedent will he estab-
lished for Massachusetts, by the speed
with which Richeson will face the ac-
cusation When the impaneling of tho
Jury begins on January Is II Will be

THE NEW DEPOT

The new depot fer the Oregon
Washington at Kennewick has been
cdmpleted-on paper. Plans and
specifications for the structure were
laid before the council Tuesday
night and briefly discussed, the
council deferring action on same
until next Monday night.
The plans show a bungalow type
of a building, of frame and stucco
construction, the dimensions OF
which will be about 25 by 100 feet.
Attorney Butler who presented the
plan stated that the depot was de-
signed only as temporary structure
and that the company expected that
the city would soon outgrow it,
when a permanent and handsome
building would be erected. 1t is
probable that the plans will be ac-
cepted, with the provision that a
new fireproof structure be erected at
the end of five years.

ATTORNEY A BUSY MAN

The new city attorney, y. l..
Holcomb, had plenty Of work out
lined for him at the new councils
first meeting, and this is merely a
starter. In changing from a fourth
class to a third class form Of govern
ment. many Of the city's ordi-
nances will be found to be defective
and it will be necessary to draft new
ones or materially revise the old.
Just now the attorney is at work on
an ordinance setting the bonds for
the clerk, attorney, engineer and
marshal at $1,000 each and the
treasurer's bond at $2500. Other
ordinances to be drafted at once are
ones creating new fire limits and re-
strictions, an act providing for local
asy assessments and . building ordi-
dinance which will probably en-
hody plumbing restrictions.
