Dominican Preacher at Mission

A touching and eloquent sermon was
delivered at St. Charles Borromeo's
r. c. Church, Peshine and Custer ve-
nue., last night by Rev. John l. Fin
jnerty. O.. P. who is giving a retreat
and renewal of the mission.
The young priest portrayed a
pathetic cement using his white-and-
black cassock and crucifx TO illustrate
his points as he denounced mortal sin.
He took for his text AS you SOW. you
reap also. He that soweth of the flesh
shall reap corruption. The wages of
sin is death. eternal DEATH
Father Finnerty denounced the
drunkard, the s~candalizer and the idle,
g%ossiping woman He warned the
young girls TO beware of their male
companions. and said hat many a
young girl had sped her soul to eternal
torture through the loss of her good
name. He said that any woman who
published secrets of another was bound
to repair the harm as much as she
could, under pain Of mortal sin.
Following the sermon the choir sang

Rev. Thomas A. Walsh, was the cele-

and baSilar faculties, we lind on the
photograph much more space devoted
to the basilar or animal region than
to the moral group.
In a normal head the measurements
show a brain power equally distributed,
and in a strongly moral type the ratio
is reversed.
The eyes indicate great intensity OF
mind and passionate power.
The lips are full and voluptuous and
Irregular in type, indicating passion
and jealousy. These correspond with a
large cerebelluip and a strong social
nature, which, If uncontrolled by moral
forces, bring disaster.
The, jaw is of a strong. square type
which gives relentlessness and lack of
sympathy and tenderness, and. on the
other hand, severity and courage.
The jaw is long and curved, and half
way from the lower lobe of the ear 10
the centre of the chin there is a pro-
lection, which indicates bulldog
tenacity. and has always been found In
persons capable OF doing any strong,
courageous act.
The width of the side head shows
acquisitiveness, or desire for greed and
personal possessions, which a narrow
head in this respect would fail to indi-
cate.
The whole contour of the face indi-
Gates shrewdness, depth Of intellect,
cunning and reserve, through secretive-
ness. The great wonder is that anyone
would be Influenced by such a strong
and passionate nature. But nuency of
speech, which the portrait indicates
that he Rev. Mr.. Richeson possesses,
might easily deceive a credulous mind.

MAY FIGHT
SENTENCE
OF RICHESON
Attorneys Now Consider Appeal
to Supreme Court of
Massachusetts,.

BOSTON, Jan. 11.-A sensation wa.
sprung in the remarkable case of Key
Clarence V. T. Richeson, confessed
slayer of Avis Linnell, today. when Il
became known that his counsel were
planning to 20 TO the Supreme Court
of his State and ask for a reopenine
of the case.
1t is their purpose to file a writ OF
error. which. If sustained, will set aside
the plea of guilty offered by the pastor
and the death sentence of Judge
Sanderson. This action will be taker
unless the executive council votes t.
commute the death sentence.
1t will be contended that owing to
the mental condition of Richeson he
was unable to comprehend the nature
of his plea of guilty and that Judge
sanderson and District Attorney Pei
letter were in error in accepting the
plea, and that the judge was in error
in passing sentence without having the
case go to a jury.
Two women whom Rev. Clarence V.
7. Richeson is said to have Tilted are
today preparing to fight his proposed
plea for clemency.
One of the women whose hone is in
4hloSOull, was III COui WITCH INiCIiSsOH

ed in mystery.
The district attorneys office. has a
letter from Miss Patsey Feltz. now i'll of
tuberculosis in a Utah hospital, in
which she says Richeson had promised
to marry her and she had given him a
considerable sum of money.
Other women have been found whom

will probably appear i'll opposition to a
plea for clemency for him.
The formal withdrawal from the Bap-
list ministry of Richeson is regarded as
probable before the date set for his
death.
IGditoTially, the Waterman, the Of
fetal organ of the Baptist Church,
says THE Confession of his responsi-
bility in causing the death of Miss
Avis Linnell, which has now been made
by C. V. r. Richeson. has relieved the
whole situation.
This case is peculiar in the wide
spread disaster it has caused. as is
seen in the instance of his keeper,
Sheriff Seavey. whose death was has
tened by his terrible experiences. and
in the recent collapse of his counsel
William A. Morse. This is not the end
OF the miseries. perhaps fatalities, that
will follow in the train of his deeds.
Within the next two weeks an appeal
will be sent to Governor Foss and the
legislative council. In an effort to save
the life of the Rev. Clarence Y. r.
Richeson's life.
The fight for a communication of the
sentence will be financed by Moses
Grant Edmands, father of Miss Violet
Edmands, the former fancee of Mr..
Richeson.
Richeson bought a wedding ring in
December. 1909, at the little jewelry
shop of Mrs. Josie Guyer, at Hyannis,
and gave it to Avis Linnell on her
eighteenth birthday in that month, it
was learned today.
The introduction of Mrs. Guyer as a
witness to the sale of the wedding ring
to the former pastor was to have been
one of the trump cards played by the
government at the trial.

IL another imaginary line were

degrees taken with a c~raniometer.
This indicates the depraved type of

energy when the moral region of the
brain Is also well represented.
Generally speaking, however, this
