RICHESON.
CONTINUED from page one.)

Beginning in the little Cape Cod
village of Hyannis, the love tragedy
which eliminated in the murder and
today's execution, was the world old
triangle-two women and a man.
Back in 1909, Richeson, graduated
only a few months before from the
Newton Theological Seminary, was
called to the pastorate of the Hyan-
mis- Baptist church. Handsome, poll
ished in manner, with a wonderful
amount of personal magnetism, he
was soon a social fayorlte. Young
and old were attracted to him and
the church congregation was doubled
in the first few months Of his incum-
bency Little comment was occa-
stoned by the fact that he was seen
frequently in the company Of 17-year-
old Avis Linnell, the brightest of the
local high school students. She had
been baptized and received into the
church by the young minister and the
old gossips of the little village con-
sidered them naturally attracted to
each other and looked for them to
wed.
There was no formal announcement
Of an engagement. But Miss Linnell
had given up most of her social di-
version and was spending nearly all
of her time in church work. She
was the right hand" of the pastor in
most of the events and took his part
in a dispute that arose from his
methods of preaching. 1t was Riche-
sons boast that he always called "a
spade spade" and his forceful
preaching, in which he assaiIed sin in

gested cyanide. l gave him a pack
ege but he insisted on more. AS he
was leaving. he cautioned me to say
nothing about the matter"
On this evidence and the known ac-
quaintance of the minister with Miss
Ijnnell, the arrest of Rlcheson was
determined on. The police surround
ed the mansion on the night Of 0cto-
Der 10, but admission was refused.
Finally early next morning they
were admitted and found the minis
ter in bed. He was formally arrest
ed on a murder charge and protested
his innocence.
The theory of the police from the
start was that the minister was re-
sponsible for the girls condition and
that he had promised to get her med
ieine which would effectually hide
her shame from the world. Instead,
the latter admitted he gave her cap
sules filled with dry cyanide. The
girl, believing implicitly in the min
lister, partook of the deadly drug be-
lieving it was in reality medicine for
the purpose intended.
After his arrest the members of
the Edmands family stood by the
minister They proclaimed their be-
lief in his innocence and it was an
nounced that they would finance his
defense. On Thanksgiving Day Miss
Edmands sent flowers and dainties to
the accused man in his cell and said
she had implicit confidence that he
would soon be free and they would
wed in the end.
On the night of December 20, Rich
oson was heard moaning and crying
in his cell. Finally he asked a guard
to send for a doctor One was soon
there and investigation revealed the
fact that the minister, probably in
moment of mental ALTERATION, had
fearfully mutilated himself with a
piece of tin he had secured and
sharpened to a razor edge on the
floor of the cell. So serious were the
wounds inflicted that the doctors who
were hurriedly called were forced to
complete the operation the man had
begun and for a time he was in grave
danger of dying from blood poison
ing.
That Richeson had planned to have
the operation he attempted figure in
his defense was charged by the pros
ecutor and he was little surprised
when, on January 6 last, he was fur
nished with a confession of guilt by
Richeson's lawyers. When the confes-
sion was repeated in court on Jan
uary 9, there was nothing for Judge
Sanderson to do but impose the only
Uenalty by law for first degree mur.
der. Friends of Richeson started an
agitation to have his sentence com.
muted to life Imprisonment, but the
governor and his council refused tC
act A petition claiming insanity was
filed in the case but promptly over,
ruled.
