MINISTER ADMITS
HIS BETROTHAL
To AVIS L|NNELL
Friend OF Richeson Quotes Him
on Probable Line of
= Defense.
DECLARES THAT GIRL
BROKE ENGAGEMENT
Says He Has No Idea Where She
Obtained Cyanide OF
lss,s Potassium.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 27.-Rev,
Clarence V. T. Richeson, of Cambridge,
in Jail here charged with the murder
of Miss Avis Linnell, a former sweet
heart, has outlined the defense his law
yers viii set up next January, when the
minister is placed on trial.
DR.. Herbert 0. Conner, Of the Idaho
State Prison Commission, consulted
with the accused clergyman recently
and, through his courtesy, the line of
defense of the preacher was made
known.
II found Richeson in his cell at the
end of the steel corridor, in which a
dozen others are awaiting trial for a
capital o~ffense,' said Dr.. Conner. I'm
a conversation relative to his past and
present, Richeson intimated his defense
will be conducted along the following
lines:
at shall not attempt TO deny my
previous engagement to Avis Linnell,'
said Richeson, or the fact that such
an engagement existed, but 1 shall
affirm hat our engagement was
broken by mutual consent, owing to the
fact hat Miss Linnell intended to pur-
sue a professional career.
Had Her views.
"'Miss Linnell in breaking our en-
g~agenent told me she changed her
views, that her ambition was to become
an opera singer, and that the lot of a
country minister's wife had lost its
allurement for her.
"T was in no way responsible for
Avis Linnell's physical condition, and
only learned of it to my sorrow and
surprise when she unbosomed herself to
me as her former pastor and betrothed,
seeking the sympathy and relief which
/ found myself unable to give
"In regard to securing the poison, the
Rev. Mr.. Richeson said to me:
GAS to the manner in which Avis
procured the cyanide 1 have no idea
"Richeson appeared calm and imper-
turbable to the point of inconceivabil-
ity, and is awaiting with the utmost
stolidity the judgment of twelve good
men and true on the awful crime of
which he stands accused.
Confident of Release.
Regret for the unfortunate young
woman's untimely death and sorrow
hat the cloth he wears should be
smirched even slightly by the prison
faint are assuredly present, but all fear
as to his vindication and releases is
gone.
He evidently has taken the best of
care OF himself physically and his on
finement and the nervous strain do not
seem to havo left appreciable
traces. ~
THE mar must be a marvel of self
control and mentality. Not one in ten
thousand, in the face of the damning
chain of circumstantial evidence which
the prosecution is welding could,
whether innocent or guilty, show as
little outward concern as does Clarence
Richeson.
"He talked so easily and pleasantly
and seemed so care-free, that one
might believe thas Richeson was
prison chaplain on his visits and that
the barred gate between you and him
was keeping you and not him from the
open world and liberty"

MAKING ART OF NECESSITY
New Dish Every Day" Rule Made by
Young Housewife, and Strictly
Adhered to.

"A new dish every day" was the self
imposed rule of young wife who
found herself in possession of coy
home and plenty OF time. The odd part
of the decision was that she never
cooked before in her life, but the shin
ing new kitchen was an inspiration
she could not resist, much to the de-
light of her husband and friends. She
purchased several of the best cook
books on the market, preparatory to
laying a scientific foundation for her
culinary education. She studied in
gradients ana proportions, and she
haunted newsstands for papersand
magazines publishing recipes In the
end she developed into real wizard
OF things culinary, and she formed a
perfect passion for developing original
dainties that would have sent the
most blase epicures into an ecstacy

that possibilities OF food combinations
arc practically inexhaustible, and SO

thing new every day." rule entail

In the success OF a room designed to
