RICHESON "A
RAVING M MANIACo

Boston, Jan. 5.--That the mind Of
Rev G.. V. T. Richcson has given way
under the strain and that he is to-day
raving and believed to be maniac IN
his cell in the Charles street Jail was
learned today from source close to
the defense.
It is stated that late this Afternoon an
application will be made to the court
| for the appointment OF q lunacy com
mission to examine the minister. tf
they find that he is insane, court will
be asked to have him transferred i'm
mediately to an asylum for treatment
and the trial for murder set for January
Is will be indefinitely postponed.
1t is learned at the District Attor-
ney's office today that even some
members of the prosecution staff, who
recently have visited the pastor, have
iraukly stated in public that they can
not believe Richesou is sane.
Richeson it is said authoritatively at
times screams and yells incoherent
phrases in which the namos Of Avis
Linnell and Violet Edmands are dislin-
guished. At times he does not recog-
nIze even his attorneys if they happen
to be visiting him.
At other times he plays like child
and talks to his celImate, William
Butts, confessed negro murderer,
about what the two will do to amuse
themselves when they get back to
fathers plantation in Virginia.
Richeson, according to the informa-
ton, first became violent yesterday
morning, when one OF his lawyers was
visiting him. He jumped screaming
to his feet saying he was being made
victim by the police. He had to be
held to the cot by the negro, Butts,
and turnkey. He finally quleted and
for the rest of the day lay on hs cot
jabbering idiocally.
This outbreak OF Richeson recalls
what the mother OF Avis Linnell said
when Richeson was arrested about
his crazy fits and tautrums" when
called on Avis at Hyannis. On one OF
these occa lions said Mrs. Linnell, she
was afraid Richesoh would die after an
attack of hysteria.
New York, Jan. 5.--That Violet
Edmands, iancee OF Rev. c. Y. /.
Rieheson, is lx Ionkers, n. y, at the
home OF Rudolph Reeder, her uncle,
president OF the New York Orphan
Asylum, is the statement today OF DIR.
Doefer OF HASTINGS, \. y, who has
says he has seen her there.
District Attorney Pelletier, OF Bos-
ton, is anxious to talk with Miss Ed
M ands owing to n rumor that when
Rlcheson g1es to trial, if h. DIES, she
will take the staDd aud endcavor to
establish an alibi for him.
Telephone messages to the Reeder
Home today failed TO secure any IN
formation about Miss Edmands
whereabouts.
