MR.. RIcHEsoN's AMBITIONS
Were To Address Thousands Instead of
Hundreds Merely.

Boston, Jan. l5.-On the day after
Avis Lnnel met her death by poison
given her by the Rev. Clarence V. t.
Rlcheson, the clergyman, who was then
guest at the Brookline home of his
fancee, Miss Violet Edmands wrote a
letter to another fiancee, according to in
formation given out by the police yes
terday. The letter was written TO Miss
Patsey Felts of Salt Lake City, who
loaned Richeson money when he was a
poor theological student, and in it he
wrote that soon, in that very month, he
would be on his way West where he
would seek church, that he might
preach to thousands instead of to hun
dIeds."
When the letter was written, Avis
Linhell, to whom the minister had been
engaged, was dead, his marriage to Miss
Edmands was set for the end of the
month and in Salt Lake City the young
woman, who had befriended him in his
hour of need, considered herself also his
fiaEcee, according to the police investi-
cation. Miss Felts became engaged to
in 1908 and the engagement
was never broken.
Richeson passed yesterday quietly in
his cell at the Charles street Jail receiv-
ing no visitors.

STUBBORN FIRE sUBDuED.
Central Vermont Railroad Foundry at
st. Albans Burned Out.

! st. Albans, Jan. l5.--The Central Yer.
mont foundry, located just west of the
| Lake street crossing, was burned out
! Saturday night by fire which started
at 620 o'clock. 1t caught from spark
from the pouring stack, which ignited
an adjoining partition and from there
spread rapidly to the wooden roof, which
was destroyed together with practically
all the woodwork OF the ifDerior, while
several pattens were also lost The
building is heavily built brick struc-
ture, and this was uninjured The dam
ages will be less than a thousand dol
lars, and work can be commenced again
as soon as the new roof is installed
The building was insured under tt
blanket policy covering all company
property.
The alarm was run in from box SO,
and although the department responded
promptly, it was several minutes before
a stream could be played on the fiercely
burning structure, owing to the hydrant
being frozen at the corner of Lake and
Water streets The most serious part
OF the affair was the great danger to the
big passenger and freight car shops,
standing but few feet east, and the
valuable pattern storage house, just
west OF the building Had west wind
prevailed and the fire Hot have been
handled as it was, the entire Central
Vermont plant south of Lake street
would certainly have been in ashes this
morning. The fire was an obstinate one
to fight, the fremen being called back
several times for blazes, which repeated
ly broke out in various parts of the
building.
A large force Of men were set at work
yesterday, clearing up the debris and
making ready for immediate repairs to
the structure. The pattern storage shop
was kept soaked, for here were stored
patterns worth thousands Of dollars for
all parts Of engines and ears, the loss OF
which would have been severe blow
to the company.
