DR.. E. E. Richardson Brought
Out at Inquest

HUTCHINSON, Kan, February D.
Investigation Of the mysterious death of
Miss Edna Nelson, ward of the late DIR.
today when the fact that the girl was a
spiritualist was advanced in support of
the theory that she had committed sui
eide. Miss Nelson's body was found in

self on the body. crying. "Oh. my darling.

Il loved him. and can never love an
other" she told Mrs. w. c. Hutchinson.
according to testimony at the coroner's
inquest. ''Ours were twin spirits. II
mine is SO lonely without his, what must
be the sorrow Of his spirit wandering
alone in that strange other world. calling
to me to come overT'
Against the theory of suicide Coroner
Williams has advanced the fact that the
bullet entered the left side of the head
above the ear. AS the girl was right
handed, the coroner said, she could not
have fired the bullet. The weapon was
a revolver from the dresser in the girls
room.
Search was continued today for a
strange man who Is said to have entered
the Richardson home an hour before the

Washington "Latter-Day Moses"

In his address Rev. Mr.. Pate referred to
Washington as a "latter-day Moses"
The first President of this nation, he de-
clared had solved problems that stretched
back through the centuries.
In the old world said the speaker
''nations were FESTIVE under the tyran-
nical sway of kings and emperOrs. who
claimed the divine right to rule and sway
to command the destiny Of the people.
George Washington was anointed of God
for his work. AS a soldier statesman
and patriot he is easily beyond compari-
son, and the unfading glory of his pri-
vate life is an inspiration to true Ameri-
cans.
Caesar was a great conqueror, so was
Alexander and Napoleon. William Pitt
was great as statesman. Socrates was
great as a philosopher. Washington
combined the greatness of them all.
HE was supremely great When the war
had been won. His resignation from the
army when they would have given him a
throne and crowned him as king showed
the high purpose Of the man.
Great in Declining Third Term.
He was great beyond description when
he declined third term as President
and, from the top of the pinnacle of
fame. he modestly retired from public
life to spend his last days in the bosom
of his family.
HE went out of public life without
stain upon his escutcheon. After all he
had passed through. after all he had ad-
ministered. after all he had dispersed
and after all he had directed, none arose
to whisper aught against the unsullied
purity of his name
