tence if it is passed, arguing that
Richeson is abnormal.
His jailers say Rev. Richeson is an
arrant coward, and that fear of cleo
trocution and the realization of the
strong case of the state and not re-
pentance, caused the murderer's con-
fessiOn.
Discussing the case Pellitier said:
when a man engages himself to an
innocent girl and induces her to take
step which maidenhood takes with
reluctance unconquerable except by
love and the expectancy of marriage;
when a man carries his duplcity to the
point of bethrotal to another; and de-
liberately compounds poison and asks
the betrayed girl to take it for love of
him, there can be no extenuation for
such crime"
Richeson spent the day quietly. He
seems to be confident of a commuta
ton of sentence to life imprisonment,
and spends his time reading theolog
ical works.

RUSSELL SCHOOL IS BURNED TONIGHT
BY FIRE OF MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN

The Russell school, MOscOw's first
school building was burned this after
noon by fire which is believed to have
caught from defective flue. The loss
will be about $4,000. There was S1O,-
900 of insurance on the building, and
$1,000 on the contents.
The first was discovered by Miss
Harder, in the Irving school, who
warned Janitor M. L. Frazee. When he
turned in the alarm the blaze was Just
breaking through the roof of the east
ell of the building. Before the fire de-
partment could reach the school the
entire upper story of the east ell was
in flames.
The fire originated in the ceiling
above Miss Emma MadsOn's room, ga.
Evidently from defective flue. 1t is
believed to have been smOuIdering in
the attic for some time.
"But there were no signs of fire in
the building when l left at about

special use. The lease on the pres
ent location, in the corner room of the
Motter-Wheeler building would not ex-
pire for Is months yet, but the growth
of the business made new quarters ne
cessary.
The change will enable the crew of
men now at work on the improvement
of the Motter- Wheeler building to go
ahead with the contemplated changes
throughout, in order to complete the
three floors for the occupancy of the
Boston store, which recently secured
d 15-year lease on the building.

BOSTON, Jan. 8.-RichesOn's SEN

the principal cause Of the postpone

son. The minister was disappointed
at the pOstpOnement. He had nerved
himself for the ordeal and nearly col
lapsed when told.

4:15," declared JanitOr NJ. L. Frazee.
Il had just swept that room and look
ed at the stove. There was no fire

( After the fire department arrived it
was some minutes before water could
be gotten on the blaze, owing to the
frozen water plugs, and at first when
two streams were turned on the pres
sdre was insignificant.
The north ell of the Russell building,
where the fire originated is the Oldest
school house in Moscow. In 1889 the
addition to the west was built on, and
has since been one of the mainstays of
the Moscow school system.
There were six rooms in the build
ing, and over 800 pupils will have no
place to go to school tomorrow as the
result Of the destruction of the build
ing.
At 5:15 it was evident that the other
school buildings would be saved, by

hard work on the part of the fire COM
pany. 1t was stated that the fire plug
at the corner Of Jefferson and 1st
streets had been permitted to freeze
up, and had delayed the department 20
minutes in getting stream of wa
ter on the building, and that had water
been available at first a good part of
the building would have been saved.
The loss in school books to the 500
pupils is estimated at over $500.
The school board will hold meeting
tonight, and decide where to hold the
session of the school. 1t is probable
that the Russell and Irving schools will
be suspended for the week, and that
three big rooms in the Irving building
will be cut in two to accommodate
three of the homeless grades. An
other grade will be accommodated at
the high school, and rooms for the
other two will probably be found down
town.
