SUGAR TRUST HEARING

New York, May 81. - Chester S
Morey of Denver, chief agent of Hen
ry o. Havemeyer in acquiring control
of beet sugar companies in Colorado
continued today his testimony in the
government dissolution suit against
the so-called sugar trust.
A copy of a telegram sent by Mr..
Havemeyer to Samuel c. Hooker, his
agent, was introduced to support the
government charge that Mr.. Have
meyer had prepared to crush, by COM
petition, the independent beet sugar
plant of the Greeley Sugar company,
then building. The telegram was
addressed to Hooker at Denver and
read:
GO to Greeley and secure good
site on option"
Mr.. Morey testified the site was
procured and not long after this Mr.
Havemeyer bought an interest in the
Greeley company. A letter from
Hooker to Havemeyer, written No
vember %, 1902, then was introduced
1t suggested that Mr. Havemeyer
rent the site for pasturage for one
year, and said that four per cent net
return could be realized if this was
done.
1t is probably as favorable an op
portunity as can be obtained at the
present time" the letter continued.

RICHESON'S BODY TURNED
OVER TO HIS BROTHER

Boston, May 21-The misshapen
body OF Clarence V. T. Richeson, who
was executed just after midnight for
the murder of a cast-off sweetheart,
was claimed by brother, Douglas,
today and will be taken to Amherst
Courthouse in Virginia for burial. Be.
fore the young murderer's body was
turned over to the brother, it was
placed under the county physician s
knife for the legal authority. That
the brain of the electric chairs vic
tim will be given to a medical col
lege is denied by officials.
The execution of Richeson is de-
clared to have been the most sue
cessful witnessed in the death house
since the institution of the chair. 1t
was necessary to apply the current
only once, and less than Is minutes
after Warden Bridges and the party
of witnesses left the prison office for
the Geath house they filed back and
attached their signatures to the pap
ers stating that the order of the court
had been complied with
After his collapse Of last Fr.Ia5, It
had been feared that Ri ;heson woul
not be able to stand the final strain,
but On the way from his cell to the
execution chamber, his steps did not
falter, and he answered the question
as to his faith in God, put to him by
his spiritual adviser, without fiin2h-
ing.

had taken place.
Richeson was electrocuted at 12.17
this morning. The current was turned
on at 12.10.02 and the prisoner was
declared dead at 12.17.
The former Baptist clergyman VINO
confessed poisoning Avis Linnell, of
Hyannis, his former sweetheart, was
outwardly calm when he entered the
death chamber and he maintained his
compOSure While the straps and elec-
trodes were being adjusted as he sat
in The chair
Richeson walked to the chair erect,
eyes straight ahead, until he sat
down. Then he closed his eyes and
kept them shut until the end.
Questioned in the Chair.
Seated in the chair, he was asked
a series of questions by the Rev. Her
bert S. Johnson, his spiritual adviser.
During his answers he said:
God will take care OF my soul and
pray for all. | forgive everybody"
The last of these questions was:
Are you willing to die for Jesus
sake The reply, in an even, well
modulated tone, was simply, 81 am
willing to die"
The current applied was of 1900 I
volts, eight amperes. One application
was sufficient.

the usual semi-annual settlements
are made and the report for the past
six months made up. The report OF
the treasurer was not ready and this
matter was postponed till the mex

journed Gll the next regular meennl
day il February.
The meeting of the board was
most pleasant and harmonious one
there being an absence OF certain II
cidents that have made the boar
meetings a by word in the commun
ty. There was also an absence
several familiar faces, men who hay
long been close attendants upon e.
cry meeting for one purpose or al
other.
