The Other Woman.

OF Miss Edmand's condition nothing
can be learned. She has remained in
strict seclusion in her fathers home
in the aristocratic section, and callers
are denied admittance, nor are any in
quiries either in person or by tele-
phone answered.
Richeson's arrest under her fathers
own roof was undoubtedly great
shock TO the woman he was to marry.
She was hysterical when he was taken
to police headquarters. and it is re-
ported tonight that she is seriously
i'll.
Suggestions that Richeson is mental
ly unbalanced are pooh-hooed by every
one with the single exception of Mrs.
Linnell, of Hyannis, mother Of the
dead girl She adhers to her theory
that the minister could not have kill
ed her daughter, as she says she is
sure he did, had he not been crazed.
Edmands, the police physicians and
those who know the preacher and
PRACTICAL all his acquaintances. say,
howeye, hat he has never given the
slightest indication of insanity.
That Richeson vas addicted to the
use of drugs has, however, been men
toned as possibility. In jail he gives
not indication that the lack of them
causes him any Inconvenience. Still,
there has been no denial of the sug.
gestion.
At the Edmands home workmen
were busy this afternoon removing
the palms and other potted plants
which had been moved in in anticipa-
ton of the wedding. Gifts are also
being returned to their senders, and
all the wedding invitations have been
withdrawn.

theory they have to offer Is that the
minister thought the girl would die
quickly in bed under such conditions
as to give the impression OF suicide
instead OF making preparations which
practically precluded the idea that
she intended to end her life.
The case was, indeed, originally fig-
ured out as one OF suicide but Chief
Duran says now that murder was
suspected from the first and he ex-
pressed belief OF this theory as a
means of throwing the suspected muir

Getting at His Past.
Richeson's past life is being thor
oughly inquired into. The Clergyman
does not seem to have been as com
municative concerning 1t as might
have been expected. That he is at
least 35 years old instead of slightly
under 80, Is only one of the surprises
the officers met with at the very out
set Of their Investigation. The story
OF his expulsion from the William
jewell College, at Liberty, Mo-. on a
charge OF cheating in his examina-
tons, was indeed known, but other

Of a robbery which he reported as hav-

the prisoner merely shrugged his

A WIDOW

Moses Bliss was an old fashioned
man. Most folks called him an old
''c0dger."
All at once, when Moses had passed
his sixty-second birthday, and was tell
ing himself that he felt as good as the
day he was thirty, and had every pros
pect Of living to be u hundred years
old, doctor told him that his left lung
was going, and that he must make
tracks for a higher altitude at once.
Moses was mad as well as scared. He
called the doctor all kinds Of fools, VOW

set out for Beacon Hill, hundred
miles away. ~ .-:-'
The higher you can get above the
sea the better for your left lung and
the more expensive the board. Beacon
Hill was only village, and had only
one tavern, and that tavern charged
Moses IS week for board. OF course
he kicked. He called the landlord all
sorts of names and said he would start
for home next day, but he didn't start.
1t was one of his walks that he
met the widow Archer. She had a
hammer and nails and was mailing a
board on the fence in front Of her poor
little home. He took the hammer away
from her and made the board secure,
and then walked off with only grunt.
He had noticed, however, that she was
woman of thirty-five and fairly good
looking, and he was pleased with her.
A call was made next day. He said
he had come on business. He was no
sooner seated than he asked: -...:

you married again." -.ys.

Mayor Dumas who is one of the
leading Republican politicians of the
state, and who has always been
defender of the liquor business both
i'll public and in private, is said to be

this set of outlaws, who for three
years have been robbing banks,

to Washington for the purpose Of
getting the government to change it's

corning the matter.) AT that time
all the leading papers which defend
