On his evidence Richeson was ar
rested.
After Richeson had the poison
for two days, on Saturday after
noon, Oct. IA, he lunched with
Avis at a Back Bay restaurant.
There, overN their coffee cups,
Richeson convinced the girl that
he had found a means to prevent
approaching embarrassment.
He put into her hands a gela-
tine capsule, supposed to contain
harmless drug, but which, in
fact, sheathed crystal that would
cause death almost as quickly as
the flash of electricity which viii
kill Richeson himself in the death
chair Monday.
She believed she was his secret
but lawful wife. The Boston po-
lice say that she. took the drug in
faith that he would later right
the wrong and because she loved
him and naturally obeyed.
Avis left Richeson between z
and 8 O'Clock, returning to the
Y. w. C. A. She told her friends
that she had dined with Richeson.
After supper there was some mu-
sic and Avis sang. Then she went
to her room..
Att o'clock means were heard
in. the bathroom. Avis was found
leaning back in a chair uncon-
scious. Her feet were in. the
bathtub, which was partly filled
with hot water. At her side lay

Chapter III.
On Oct. 10, 1912, in the after
noon, Rev. Clarence Richeson
took his first step to execute his
vile murder design, long and care
fully planned. He bought at
Hahn's drug store, Newton Cen
ter, Mass; a quantity of cyanide
of potassium, deadliest of pois-
ons. He lied to Hahn, but over
acted the part. He said he had a
dog with puppies that he wanted
to kill.
81 knew Richeson we'll from
his student days" says Hahn. 81
told him that / didn't know he
had a dog and then he promptly
gave a description of the animal.
When 1 gave him cyanide of pot
assium / warned him I'd given
him enough to kill two or three
dogs
81 put the crystals in a paper
and was about to do them up,
when he said, You'd better put
in some more, and so / added
two or three chunks. 1 gave him
enough to kin 10 persons.
"As he took the package he
said, You win receive an invita-
ton to my wedding and 1 dent
want you to fail to come and
then he added:
This may seem very rnyster-
ious to you, but can you keep a
secret? l don't want anyone to.
know l have bought this poison.
1 would not want people to know
that I killed a dog With that
he went away"
