LEADERS or NEW GOVERNMENT
CLAIM FUTURE OF COUNTRY
NOW IN THEIR HANDS.
NEW CABINET GENERALLY
CONSIDERED STRONG ONE
Republicans Expect Regular Trained
Army to Join Thorn = Generous
Terms offered Manehus Who Will
Submit to Change in Government
To Receive Psnsions and offiess.

Shanghai, Jan. 8.-Republican gov
ernment is assuming a very strong po-
sition and now considers that the fut-
ure of China Is entirely in its hands.
The leaders believe that the country Is
almost unanimously in favor of the re-
publican government and that the reg
ular trained army will come over to
their side almost to man.
The cabinet formed by DR.. Sun Vat
Sen today announced the terms 1t will
offer to the Manchus on their submits
sion. These are much more generous
than was at first believed would be
the case. They include the free grant
OF the forbidden city and the summer
palace in Peking. which are worth
hundreds of millions Of dollars. In ad
Gition they will be accorded life PEN
sions and other concessions. together
with equality Of citizenship and in the
holding Of offices under the state.
The good faith of the republicans Is
shown by the fact that the Manchus
in the southern provinces are being
supported. fed and clothed by the rev.
olutionaries, and any abuse of them is
severely punished by the republican
government.
The cabinet nominated by President
Sun Vat Sen is regarded generally as
a strong one.

nors, on certain letters previously in-
troduced in evidence Wy the govern-
ment to show the existence OF conf
bination among the defendants in the
periad between 1896 and 1906.
Attorney NJ. w. Borders. represent
ing the Morris interests. made the point
that the testimony Of Pratt on this
point was incompetent for the reason
that 1t was based on an opinion OBJ
tained in the ordinary course OF busi-
ness and not on personal knowledge.
District Attorney Wilkerson and his
assistants fought hard to prevent the
exclusion.
After listening to the arguments for
several hours Judge Carpenter ad-
journed court until Monday and re-
served his decision on the matter.
Judge Carpenter said he had no
doubt regarding the admissibility OF the
letters as documents but expressed
doubt as to the witness giving an opin-
ion on the Identification OF the hand
writing unless supplemented by other
evidence.

Of 1911, and were still more surpriset

Of spending. two months Of his vaca
tion here. He was constantly with Mis-!
Linnell. tho his engagement to Mis-!
Edmands was public property.
Richeson went back to his work in
September and Miss Linnell also re.
turned to her work at the conservatory
On Oct. IL she told her friends she was
going to take dinner with her gentle
man friend" as she always referred to
Richeson. She returned home late that
night and told her friends that she had
gotten some medicine that would sure
ly relieve her of her headaches. Late
that night some Of the girls heard means
from the bath room Of Miss Linnell
and upon the door being broken in she
was discovered dying In the bath tub
Richeson was Immediately notified.
Why do you tell me? Did she say
anything before she died?" was his re-
ply to their story.
Suicide First Conjecture.
At first It was thought the girl had
committed suicide after hearing of the
engagcment.o of Richeson and Miss. Ed
mands. An autopsy. however, revealed
that fact that she was soon to become
q mother.
Z The police began an Investigation
which centereds on Richeson. Druggist
Hahn Identified Richeson az the per-
son who bought the poison of him. He
said that Richeson said that he wanted
to Kill dog, and when he (Hahn)
suggested chloroform, he said he did
not want anything with an odor and
then he suggested cyanide of potas-
sium. enough to kill dog, and Riche-
son wanted more, and he gave hin,
enough to kill ten persons. "He eau
toned me to keep the purchase a se-
cret," said Hahn.
The police found that Richeson had
gone into seclusion in the home of
Moses Grant Edmands. the father of
MS rlancee. They surrounded the Ed
mands home on the night Of Oct. 10,
but were denied admittance until the
morning Of the goth. when they found
Richeson still in bed and placed him
under arrest. He denied his guilt and
showed a stolid Indifference. That
Richeson knew that he was under sls.
picion was proven by the fact that he
retained his counsel two days before
his arrest. -
The theory Of the police was that
Ricneson5 was responsible for the
shame Of Miss Linnell and that he
planned to give her medicine to re-
lieve her. This medicine, the police
aver. consisted Of capsules filled with
deadly poison. 1t is the theory Of the
police that the girl trusted Richeson
and swallowed the drug. believing that
the medicine would relieve her.
