He SENT the GIRL POISON
REV. RlcHESoN IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR AVIS llNNELL'S DEATH.
"urder In First Degree, Under Massa.
chusetts Law, Means Death In
the Electric Chair.

boston, MaSS.-Rev. Charles '. I.
Richeson confessed his guilt Of the
murder of his former sweetheart, Avis
Linnell of Hyannis, in a document
made public by his counsel Sunday.
The confession declares that the &C
cused Is guilty "of the offense for
which he Is indicted" which is muir.
der in the first degree.
Whether Richeson will pay the ex-
IRENE penalty, which. under the Mas.
sachusetts law is death in the electric
chair, no court official cares to pre-
dict.
The Confession.
The full text of the confession fol-
lows:
Boston, Mass, January 3, 1917
John l.. Lee, Esq; VIM. A. Morse,
Esq, Philip r. Dunbar, Esq: Gentle
men-Deeply penitent for my sin, and
earnestly desiring, as far as in my
power lies, to make atonement,
hereby confess that | am guilty OF
the offense for which | stand indicted.
Il am moved to this course by no
inducement Of self-benefit or leniency.
Helnous as is my crime, God has not
wholly abandoned me, and my con-
science and manhood, however de-
| PRAYED and blighted, will not admit
of my still further wronging by a
public trial her whose pure young
life have destroyed.
Under the lashings of remorse |
have suffered and am suffering the
tortures Of the damned. In this find
measure of comfort. In my mental
anguish ! recognize that there is still,
by the mercies of the Master, some
remnant Of the divine spark OF good
ness lingering with me.
II could wish to live only because
within some prison walls | might, in
some small measure, redeem my sim
ful past, help some other despairing
soul, and at last find favor with my
God.
You are instructed to deliver this
to the district attorney or to the Judge
of the court Sincerely yours.
Clarence V. r. RicheSon"
The indictment against Richeson
charged that he feloniously, malicious
ly and with malice aforethought gave
Miss Linnell cyanide of potassium
with deadly intent, and that because
of her death he is guilty of murder in
the first degree.
Rfcheson Provided Sensation.
Richeson himself provided the
greatest sensation in the case, when,
in the early hours of the morning of
December 20, he so horribly mutilated
himself that his life hung in the bal
| ance for some hours. and was saved
only by an operation.
1t is said at that time that Richie
son insisted upon confessing, even
while bleeding from his wounds, he
is said to have clung to his counsel,
William A. Morse, and pleaded to be
allowed to tell him the whole story.
Feeling that his client might be labor.
| ing from a loss Of mental, as we'll as
physical, strength, Mr.. Morse refused
| to hear him, and during his GONZALES
cence Richeson remained quiet, in
! fact almost speeches.. When attor-
neys visited their client early this
week, Richeson cried out that he was
guilty and declared his intention to
make a clean breast of the crime.
