GRAND JURY SESSION.
Thirty Witnesses Appear to Give Eyi- dence Against Minister Charged
 With Murder.

Boston, Oct. 26-The first crucial
 movement of the state against the
 Rev. Clarence v. T. Richeson, accused
 of the murder of Avis Linnell, was
 started at 9:3O, this morning, when the
 the first of some 30 witnesses appeared
 before a special session of the Grand
 Jury. AS had been expected, District
 Attorney Pel1etfer, aided by his as-
 sfstant, Michael Dwyer, observed ev-
 cry precaution to prevent the slightest
 leak of the mass of evidence which the
 prosecution claims to have unearthed
 against the Baptist minister. So de-
 termined are the police and the de- fense attorney that nothing should get out that it is arranged that witt nesses be taken before the grand jur- ors through passages other than the public hallway in the courthouse so they need not be subjected to running the gauntlet of detectives for the de- fense and the army of reporters and newspaper photographers who swarm ed the railways.
 The prosecution admitted that the star witnesses of to-day will be will liam Hahn, Newtown Center druggist who claims to have sold Dr. Richeson cyanide, Tuesday before Avis Linnell died of cyanide poisoning, and George D. Cobb, Hahn's clerk. Cobb is a witness who was developed" yester- day when the police say he declared he saw MT. Hahn weigh out and sell a quantity of cyanide to Richeson. This evidence will all be given in de- tail to the grand jury.
 From the thorough manner in which witnesses were examined, this morn ing, 1t seems impossible the investi- gation will be finished until Friday and perhaps Saturday. The witnesses were called before the investigators in chronological order, beginning with those from Hyannis, who started with the story of the first meeting between Avis Linnell and Richeson, and of the that existed between them.
 Following are those who have been to appear,( to-day, before the Grand Jury:,
 The parents of the murdered girl, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Linnell, of Hy- annis; her married sister, Mrs. Vida of Brockton; her husband, the members of the household of Rich eson's fiance, Miss Violet Edmands; Miss Rose Edmands, younger sister; Mir. and Mrs. Frank H.. Carter, of Cam bridge, where the clergyman lodged, Mrs. Lucille Zeigler, Miss Hahnscomb and others connected with the Y. w. c. A. headquarters, where the victim roomed; Deputy Superin- tendent Watts, Chief Inspector Dugan, Captains Armstrong and McGarr. In- spector Mitchell, of police headquart- performed the autopsy; pr. Alfred w. | Batch; Dr. Charles MinQt and pr. William F. Whitney, government in- 1 pectors: William Hahn, of Newtown, l druggist; George E. Cobb. Hahn'sj dark

''CANc' IS. LANDED BY
 AUTHORITIES

Believed by the authorities to be part of the gang of ruffians who have for some time endangered lives of railroad passengers by stoning trains yards, three Of the toughest young sters who ever graced the inside of police headquarters were arrested this morning and are held for trial in the city court.
 They are held upon the double charge of stoning trains, and stealing lead pipe from houses, So crooked are these rising citizens, that when arrested this morning the police found them preparing an elaborate plan to cheat the junk men to whom they have been selling their stolen plunder.
 They had taken quantities of heavy bricks and stones, and beaten lead sheets around them until the whole looked like heavy ingots of lead. al- though in reality but thin sheets of lead filled with worthless rock.
 These they were planning to sell to junk men, by weight, and were laugh ing in glee at the discontinue of their, Head" should be disclosed. Their laughter changed to c1agrin when they were collared by the officers and hustled to police headquarters. The boys gave their names as Theodore Garrick, Julius Seaman and George PTeVOSI anu range III age IIoIu lA to IA.
 Their arrests came as the result of disclosures made inscity court this morning by Peter Pefhalle, another boy, arrested for truancy. He was sentenced to reform school. Before going he gave the officers the names of some fellow members of the gang who have been stoning passing trains and robbing houses in East Bridge port.
 The three youngsters when locked up showed little or no alarm. In the cells at police headquarters they laughed and sang and exchanged jokes'l and cursed like little outlaws.
 Railroad detectives have been work ing for weeks unsuccessfully to dis cover the miscreants who have been stoning passenger trains passing East Bridgeport, but to the local police belongs the credit of the | capture.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the authorities but that this is the | gang. A few weeks ago stone hurl- l ed through the window of one of the | trains bound for New Haven, struck | B woman on the head and rendered | her unconscious.

TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICUs,

/ nOJiC6 thaC the AmerlCuS Gas and
Electric Co.. in Sundays issue Of the
Times Recorder, in an explanation
of their identity, took occasion to
quote me, as having recommended to
the Water Committee, the rate of 3
cents per X. w. hour for the pumping
Of water, and that had said that this
price for electric power, would be
cheaper than the City was producing
steam power for this purpose"
would like to say. that l have been
misquoted and in this denial, deem it
proper to make the following explana-
ton:
The mojority of the Water Com
tee, with representatives of the Ameri
Gus Gas & Electric Co., Messrs Walker,
Nesbitt and Hagerty, requested my
presence at the Windsor Hotel, on the
eve of the meeting Of the Mayor and
City Council and there Mr.. Walker
read a recommendation to me that the
Water Committee proposed to submit
to the Mayor and Council upon it's as
Isembly on that night being in sub
Istance, the same recommendation as
has been adopted by Council with the
Exception that the proposition was
more complicated, in that the City was
to pay 2 cents per K W. hour for cur
Trent consumed, with a minimum
charge of $3.50 per horse power for
each machine connected and on a min
Iimum pumpage of two hundred million
gallons Of water per year.
The Water Committee explained
that not being familiar with our re-
quirementsthey would like any infor-
nation l might give.
The proposition being so much out
of line, and complicated, until when
asked by the Committee my idea in
the matter, l suggested, that, if they
desired to make any such recOmmen-
dation, that it would be much easier
understood to put the price on a
straight K w. basis, eliminating
the connected horse power charge, for
the reason that we would necessarily
have to maintain duplicate machlheS'
which would OF course pc con-
nected and standing idle Tor emer-
gency and that there should be
no charge for them also that the
minimum, OF two hundred million gal
Ions pumpago per year, was entirely
too much, as We had never pumped
that much waterfall we were now en-
deavoring to lower our excessive con-
sumption of water by the installation
Of me.ers and other methods and that
l would suggest a minimum, not to
exceed one hundred and twenty-five
million gallons per year. Now as to
the straight X w rate I said it is
easy for the gentlemen to figure the
difference in the two plans and add
to the cents so much as is necessary
to make the propositions balance IN
dollars and cents
