to discover where Richeson and Miss
Linnell spent their time together.
The statement coming from one
OF the closest friends of\Moses Grant
Edmands that the defense will seek
to lay Miss Lennell's death at the door
of a former suitor. came as a distinct
surprise. Up TO date. there had new
er been mentioned any man other
than Mr.. Richeson in whom Miss Lin
nell had shown even a passing inter
est. The Edmands family, It is de-
clared, claims TO be In possession OF
information that this other man was
responsible for the serious physical
condition IN which Miss Linnell found
herself and that he either gave her
the drug TO kill her or that she took
II with suicidal intent when she
learnt that her disgrace must become
public.
To bear out this contention the de-
fense I'm the hands OF Attorney Dun
bar, a son OF James r. Dunbar, Ed
mands' personal attorney, Is said TO
have in its possession a bottle Of
cyanide Of potassium found I'm Riche-
sons room.
II is not denied that Richeson's
rooms were searched by private de-
tectives before the police searched
them last Friday These private de-
tectives. Dunbar admits, we're in his
employ, and he has assumed full re-
sponsibilty for their acts. They took
away from Richesons rooms suit
case full Of stuff. Il Is said they took
a bottle OF cyanide of potassium said
10 be the one sold TO Richeson by
Druggist Hahn. This bottle, the de-
fense claims. contains exactly the
amount OF cyanide that Richeson Sc
cured from Hahn. II will be set up
that Richeson really did want to kill
a dog but that he never used any of
the poison and that II was not from
this supply that Miss Linnell secured
the drug that killed her.
Wedding Presents Returned.
The Edmands family today was
engaged IN boxing and shipping back
the numerous wedding presents that
had been received from all parts OF
the country. Miss Edmands herself
is still prostrated and under the care
OF physician.
The Boston police declared today
they had found a young woman who
met Miss Linnell late Saturday after
noon, when she was on her way to
her rooms In the Y. w. G. A.. where
later she was found dead. According
to the police, this girl told them that
Miss Linnell said she had been TO
lunch with Richeson and that she was
an tf hA.
she had a headache" The police claim
that. following this clue. they discov-
cred the restaurant in which the
couple had luncheon Saturday.
II this statement can be confirmed
in court. Il is believed II will be ?
damaging blow to Richeson who all
along has contended that he did not
see Miss Linnell on the Saturday on
rhich she died. Il was on that day
The police aver, he gave her the drug
with which she was killed. The police
refuse positively to tell the name OF
the girl who gave them the clue OF
the name of the restaurant where the
couple lunched. They maintain. how
ever, that attaches OF the restaurant
remember seeing Richeson and Miss
Linnell there on Saturday.
Chief Inspector of Police Dugan de-
clared that with this most important
/ link completed. the chain Of evidences
fagainst Richeson is sure. and that h'
believed a first degree murder con
victlon might be obtained on the evi
dence already on hand.
THE only thing lacking was a mo
tive" said Dugan, 'and we have fur
nished two zone was to do away will
/ the little sweetheart OF the simple
/ Hyannis days whom he had so cruelty
wronged and the other was the lur'
of gold.
Richeson Mad for Money.
"Richeson was mad for money. III
lived beyond his means and was II
debt Each succeeding girl in whom
he showed an interest had more none
than the girl before. Miss Linnell'
father was only comfortably fixed
Miss Edmands' father was a million
aire."
Dugan pointed out that Richesor
borrowed $3.50 from Miss Patsy
Feltz OF Kansas City to continue hi
ministerial studies and declared tn
state would show at the trial tina
lother girls to whom Richeson ha
been engaged had frequently loane
him money.
The action OF the Emmanuel Bar
tist Church of Cambridge is bein
awaited with interest. Richeson's r,
signation was expected but was nc
forthcoming. Members of the churc
are said TO hold that he should r.
