On this evidence and the known &C.
Quaintancs OF the minister with Misv
Linnell the arrest OF Richesou was de-
termined on. The police surrounded
the mansion on the night Of October
18th. but admission was refused. ~.
nally. early next morning they we're
admitted. and found the minister In
bed. He was formally arrested on a
murder charge. and protested his In
nocenes.
The theory Of the police from the
start was that the minister WAS re.
sponsible for the girls condition. ane
that he had promised to get her med
icine which would s6ectually hide her
shame from the world. Instead the
latter admitted he gave her capsules
filled with dry cyanide. The girl. be-

was In reality medicine for the pur.
pose intended.
After his arrest the members Of the
Edmands family stood by the minis
ter. They proclaimed their belief In
his innocence. and II was announced
that they would finance his defense.
On Thanksgiving Day Miss Edmands
sent flowers and dainties to the ac-
cused 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 30 Rich.
eson was heard moaning and crying Ia
his cell. Finally he asked . guard TO
send for . doctor. One was soon there.
and investigation revealed the fact
that the minister. probably in o mo.
ment Of mental alteration. had fear.
fully mutilatsd himself with Q piece
Of tin he had secured and sharpened
TO rszor's edge on the floor of the
cell. So serious were tho wounds In
nicted that the doctors who were hur-
riedly called were forced to complete
the operation the man had begun. and
for q time he was In grave danger
from blood poisoning.
That Richeson had planned TO have
the operation he attempted figure In
bis defense was charged by the prose-
cutor. and he was little surprised
when. on January 9Th. he was fur.
nished with confession OF guilt by
Richeson's lawyers. When the con-
was repeated In court on Jan
nary 9th. there was nothing for Judge
sanderson TO do but impose the only
penalty by law for FIRST degree mur-
1er. Friends Of Richeson started an
agitation TO have his sentence com.
nuted to life imprisonment. but the
governor and his council refused to
lct. A petition claiming insanity was
lied In the case. but promptly over
uled.
