Reference TO Engagement.
Schoolgirl friends Of Avis LInneu have
supplied District Attorney PelIetier with
letters from the little Hyannis girl. in
engagement TO Richeson.
Equally as interesting Is the state
ment that w. c. Mclean. brother-in law
Of the dead girl, has supplied the prose-
cution with letters found in the Linnell
home, which were written to Avis by
Richeson within the last six months. Al
least one of the communications is said
to contain a reference to Miss Violet
Edmands.
Members Of the LiHnell family posi-
lively refuse to discuss this feature OF
the case. The evidence is the chief sup

tiYes that Richeson had renewed his
engagement with Avis LinnelI which had
been broken on about the time he left
Hyannis to take charge OF the Cambridge

confessed they had formed opinions
that would prevent them from giving
the defendant an impartial hearing.

The defendants plea of not guilty is
based on the allegation that he was of

for four inches Sunday afternoon.

over the dashboard of the carriage and
struck him in the shin. jenkins was
spending the afternoon with a party
of Richmond acquaintances on Coop
er's farm, southeast OF the city.
Just as they were leaving, the horse
unexpectedly kicked clear over the
dashboard. The men said there was
no direct cause for the animals ac
,ior. but they believed it had become
stiff and cold while waiting for them to
collect some apples, and got excited
when they started. Dr. Frank Har-
old was summoned. He found all the
skin torn off for space of about four
inches ON the right shin, and the bone
laid bare. jenkins was removed to
his home, % S. Is street, and it is
thought will not be able to use his
leg for some time. The injury. ac-
cording to the attending physician is
more serious than a fracture.

Following the declaration Of Coun,
Gilman Jesse Evans at a previous coun.
Gil meeting, to the effect that Homer
, Hammond, president of the board of
public works owed taxes for the past
ten years. Councilman William BaItel
arose in council meeting last evening
and presented Il resolution, which sta
ted that inasmuch as the revnue OF the
city is derived from taxes, if a city en-
ploye did not pay his taxes before he
became delinquent that the amount
be taken from his salary. The resolu-
ton did not mention Mr.. Hammond S
name.
After the mayors statement that a
law permitted the county treasurer to
draw on any public officials salary in
case he did not pay his taxes, and that
council had nothing to do with it,
Councilman Bartel withdrew his reso-
luton. The resolution read as fol-
lows:
Resolution Of earteI.
Resolved, that as practically all
the revenue derived By the city comes
out of the taxes, that it is the sense
Of this council that every city employe
pay his taxes before he becomes delin-
auent and that in event he does not
the amount be deducted from his sal
ary"
1t is said that the shop men are
highly indignant over the alleged fact
that city official has evaded paying
his taxes
The matter probably will be taken
up with the county treasurer in an at.
tempt to have tho state law governing
this point enforced.

| The majority of the councilmen say
that next year the market will be a
free one and that there will be little
need for a market master. Councilman
Thatcher suggests that the dairy in
sEcctor could do this work and tina,
it would not be a difficult task.
President Hammond declared, in
speaking on the question of the mar
ket. that the market men now want
to rent their stalls for next year, sc
that they will have a regular place in
which to market their produce.
In answer to this Mr.. Thatcher caus
tically remarked that the market mer
do not know just what they desire.
+ "They raised fits because they have
, to Fay rental for their stalls and as
soon as we lower the bars and sa!
there will be no rental next year. they
raise a racket again" said Thatcher.
