SAY CARNEGIE IS WRONG
Friends of Knox Dispute the IRON
masters Testimony.

Washington, jan 12.-Secretary of
State Knox declined to comment on
Andrew CarnegieS testimony. The IN
ference that Mr.. Knox was appointed
attorney general by President Mckln-
ley in 1901 on Mr.. Carnegie's recon-
menda ton. however, was character zsd
as absurd by an intimate friend OF
the secretary of state who spoke IN MS
behalf
He said n recital of the facts sur
rounding Mr.. Kncx's entry into the Me-
Kinley cablret easily disproveo Mr..
Carnegie'S inference, and pointed out
that Mr.. Mckinley first oIrered MN
the portfolio on February IL, 1897, when
the newspapers devoted much space to
the offer and Mr.. Knox's decHnatloh-
MI Knox was In Santa Barbara wnen
the post next was rendered to MN IN

Knox in the cabinet was said to nave

Mr.. Carnegie, pressed hard by mem

pointment of Philander c. Knox, the
present secretary of state, as attorney
general in President McKinley's cabl-

WILL SEEK REHEARING
Counsel for Richeson Plan a New
Move in His Case.

Boston, Jan. 12.-Counsel for Richie
son will seek a rehearing of the pro-
ceadings in court on the ground that
the condition of Richeson was such
at the time he pleaded guilty to murder
in the first degree that he was unable
to comprehend fully the nature of that
act. This move must be made In the
supreme judicial court and if the con-
tention Of the defense is sustained the
case must go again to the superior
court, there to be disposed of as if no
previous action had been taken.
A scathing denunciation of Richeson
was contained in an address made by
President George E. Horr to the stu
dents of the Newton Theological Insti-
tuition, of which Richeson is a gradu-
ate. President Horn, who was to have
solemnized the marriage of the pastor
to Miss Violet Edmands, described
Richeson as "a scoundrel," a man con-
victed of colossal crimes" and a trait
or to God and man."
OF Richeson's relations with Avis
Linnell, President Horr said:
After this girl had been debauched
there was but one course open to
Rfcheson, and that was to marry her;
but the vision of wealth and social sta
ton had dawned on him. To carry out
his purpose it was necessary to make
away with the girl who had become his
victim.
"Richeson is only exceptional in the
cold blooded heartlessness with which
he subordinates every consideration of
honor and fidelity to his own egotism-
to his pleasure and to his ambition
