Hyannis, Mass, Oct. 21.-Until
nearly noon today an effsy figure OF
the Rev. c. V. T. Richeson, charged
with the murder Of Avis Linnell,
swung from the old elm tree in front
Of the little Baptist church where he
first met the dead girl. The figure
was hung last night Immediately af-
ter the weekly prayer meeting.
The hanging was preceded by a
prayer meeting in the little church
where over a hundred fisher folk and
townspeople who had known AVIS
Linnell from her babyhood, prayed
fervently that the dead girl might be
forgiven any sins she had committed
and find eternal peace and rest in the
world bewond.
AS the little congregation filed out
of the church they halted in front
of an outbuilding There was hard
ly a word said but at a sign from the
leader one man Vent quickly into
the building and brought out an ef-
figv clad in the black clothing of a
minister. The figure bore two large
placards. One read: Guilty! Rev.
&c. Y. T. Richeson See Luke 1872,
1T were better for him that a mill
stone were hanged about his neck
and he were cast into the sea lest he
offend one of these little ones.
The other placard read: THE Wig
ilance Committee" In the same grim
silence in which they had COM
menced a rope was brought, moose
tied. and placed around the throat
of the figure. The loose end of the
rome was thrown over the limb of a
nearby tree and the effigy swung fif-
teen feet in the air. Having tied the
rope, the group quietly dispersed,
The chronology of the case is as
follows:
March, 1911.-Formal announce
ment made of the engagement OF MISS
Violet Edmands, Of Brookline, to the
Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, OF
Cambridge.
August 31.-Rev. C. V. T. Richeson
and Miss Avis Linnell, Of Eyannis,
visit Hyannis Agricultural Fair to-
gether. Miss Linnells friends told
she is to marry the preacher.
October 13.-Rev. c. Y. T. Rich

FOR why?
Well there are two reasons.
)ne is that the Maritime Register

aer is that, from last reports, Shibe
X is so deep under Eater the

he early prospects were that IF
slould stop raining before the snow

2ut there is no assurance that it ever
atends to stop raining. We are told
{ aimed 40 days and 40 nights once;
.ne may be the weather is out to
TX it's own record, just like some
ball players.
Ne postponement habit is getting
he nerves of the players and the
an alike, and there are likely to be
u.l., cases of nervous prostration re-
.Jr ed if the ball tossers are not per-
ed to perform again pretty soon.

mar there would be no game.
sven if the weather should clear

to the ability Of the players to

Mexican Peace Is Discussed.

Ell Paso, TeX-General Madero, in

Actual peace negotiations proceed
ed the armistice at the conference of
the various leaders and members of

discussion was of such a nature that
its publication is not desired at this
time, but it can be stated that Gen
eral Madero has the most authentic
assurances of a liberal attitude on the
part of the Mexican government

OFFICER MUST GO TO PRISON
Pardon Denied Constable Burns OF
Corliss, Sentenced to Waupun on
Charge of Larceny as Baiee.

Racine.-Judge Belden in circuit
court has denied the application for
pardon of Thomas J. Burns of Cor
liss, who must serve one year in the
state penitentiary for larceny as
bailee.
Burns, who is one of the best
known men in the county, has served
as constable at Corliss for years In
April, 1909, a roll of money, amount
ing to $500 or $500, was turned
over to him after it had been thrown
away by Paul Adamaski of Two
Rivers, who left train at that place
laboring under the delusion that he
was about to be robbed.
Adamaski's relatives alleged that
Burns returned only $500 of the
amount entrusted to him and brought
suit Burns was convicted Of larceny
as bailee and sentenced to one year
in state prison Petitions for Burns
pardon were signed by hundreds Of
his townsmen, lawyers, and even
eight of the jurors who convicted
him.
A peculiar feature of the case is
that Burns was reelected constable
of the village in April and on the
same day it was learned that the
supreme court had denied his appeal
for a rehearing.

THE CONFLICT OF CLOCKS.

1t evokes a feeling Of sympathy and
approval to learn that a movement Is
on foot in London for "the synchroni4
cation Of public clocks" Theoretical
ly clocks set up for the information OF
the people, particularly those which
bear the alluring legend "Synchron'
lied Time" should agree to the min
ute. He who would quarrel over
second or two variation would be
hypercritical, but a disagreement of
minutes weakens faith and may cause
the missing Of trains. Yet in London
the Investigations of special commit
tee of the British Science Guild re-
vealed a lamentable inveracity on the
the part OF one or the other of the
clocks, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A week of observation along a GER
tain line of streets revealed a mean
error of two minutes, the maximum
of course, much greater. In another
week one clock was three minutes
slow on two days, another four min
utes fast on one, three minutes slow
on two days, and so on through minor
divagations This is quite minor from
observations right at home. We might
deem 1t excusable for the individual
list clocks in jewelers. or bank win
dows to declare their independence OF
the time edicts of an overshadowing
corporation; but certainly the big cor
poration should bring its timepieces
under the law of uniformity.

MOB LYNCHES NEGRO
DRAGGED OUT QN oPERA-HoUsE
STAGE AND HANGED.
Grim Audience in Orchestra Pit Fire
VolIey at Victim as His Feet
Leave the Floor.

LivermOre, Ky-Will Potter, a ne
gro, was dragged upon the stage of
the opera house and hanged and his
body riddled with bullets. He had
shot and killed Frank Mitchell, twenty
two years old, white, in a quarrel.
With his hands tied behind him the
negro, shivering and trembling, was
dragged from the basement of the
opera house, where he had been hid
den by Marshal Stabler and tied up
on the stage.
The mob took it's place in the or
chestra pit, the lights were turned on,
the curtain was rung up on the most
weird scene which ever graced stage
in America. At word from the lead
er fifty shots rang out and the hanged
negro fell dead to the stage. The cur
tain was lowered and in silence the
men went out into the night, leaving
the black, who had taken the star
role in the death drama, behind them
on the boards.
The authorities used all secrecy
they could, but the lookup f1imsy
affair, was of little service, and in the
hope Of eluding the mob the officers
carried the negro to the theater and
hid him in the basement.
Some one saw them hurry the negro
into the side entrance, and the hiding
place was told to the leader of the
mob, who had his men surround the
building, and the prisoner was de-
manded from the authorities They
refused, but when they realized that it
meant not only death to the black, but
also to the men who were trying to
defend him, he was turned over to the
crowd.
What Potter and Mitchell quarreled
about will never be known. They were
in poolroom, and when they got into
trouble Mitchell started home AS he
was walking up the street toward his
home the negro ran after him and
fired a bullet through his breast.
1t was soon noised about the town
and mob of half hundred citizens
began searching for the black. They
did not find him until the leader was
told where the officers were in hiding
When Sheriff Beeler arrived from Cal
houn, having made the journey in a
fast motor boat thee was nothing for
him to do but take charge Of the body
that still lay OH the stage, the glare of
the footlights revealing in it's entirety
the deadly work of the mob.
