Boiled down, the questions put te
Mr.. DILLON were, whether he did no
vote against the primary election sys

why he voted against the anti-dis.

1907; why he ia knowingly misrepre.

Mr.. Dillon admits that he voted
against the primary election plank in
the republican state convention OF
1904. and therefore must recognize
that 80 far as he was concerned, the
legislature OF 1905 was instructed to
oppose the primary. The admission ID

surrounding the electrocution of Rev.
Richeson at Boston, as injurious to
the religious cause.
Boston, Macs.-Clarcnco V. r..
Richeson was electrocuted a! l2:17I
O'Clock this morning. He walked to
straight ahead until he sat down.
Then he closed his eyes and kept them
shut until the end. Seated in the
chair he was asked a series of ques-
lions by the Rev. Herbert s. John
son, his spiritual adviser.
The last question was: Are yon
willing to die for Jesus sake?"
The reply, in an even, we'll modu-
lated tone was simple: Il am willing
to die"
The current applied was about L.
900 volts, s ampcres. One application
was sufficient.
Richeson left his cell at 1905
O'Clock. Before starting on the death
march he shook hands with William
A. Morse, his counsel, who at the
last moment had been admitted as a
witness of the execution. He then
said Il am ready" and walked to the
death chamber.

murderer of former sweetheart, Is
years old Avis Linnell, of Hyannis

The girl stood in the way of the
minister's marriage to Miss Violet Ed.

Brookline, bdh through an engage

two and because of a condition in
which Miss Linnell found herself. The
girl was deceived into taking a poison

and died in her rooms at the Young
Woman's Christian association, or
the evening of October IA, 1911. On
that day invitations had been issued
for the wedding ceremony which was
to unite Rev. Mr.. Richeson and Miss

One OF the fine features of the COM
ing May Music Festival to be held in
this city May IS and % will be the
presentation OF some fine music by the
Choral Club. under the direction of
Prof. Hobson Since the early part of
the spring Prof. Hobson has been at
york with his chorus in drilling them
in the numbers which are to be pre-
sented on the second evening of the
Festival. The chorus has been built up
to a fine standard of music ability
and the numbers which will be rem
dered will be a good exposition of the
musical ability of the singers of the
city and the college.
Two numbers will be given on the
second evening, the first of which is
the first scene from the Song of Hia-
wath's Wedding Feast, the music of
which is delightfully."- enhancing. The
"Gallia,' by Guonod. Some exception
ally fine chorus work will be in evil
bence in both numbers, and with the
assistance of the solo singers accom-
paying the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra, the vocal numbers will be
par excellence. Lucille T%ewksbury
Stevenson will carry the soprano role
and Miss Genevieve Wheat the ON
tralto solos. Joseph Schenke. a tenor
of high repute and Horatio Connell, a
baritone of wide reputation, will also
appear.
Aside from these numbers Director
Oberhotfer and his Symphony Orch
estra will be heard in a fine program.
The festival this year promises some
thing fine in the way OF music and
there is not a lover of good music who
should miss this rare treat.
