The amount of the shortages are
variously estimated from $4,000 to
$1I0, 900. 1t is claimed the former
amount represents the losses of local
people and the difference between the
sums is the amount invested and

the man, the lawyer, the jurist, the
chief justice, the citizen and neigh

most effective manner Sunday after
noon at the memorial at the opera
house.
Seldom, is ever, have the residents
of Devils Lake heard such masterful
address as was delivered by Hon. Ira
cy Bangs of Grand Forks in eulogizing
the late lamented iurist.
Judge cowan presided at the mem
oriaI and after reviewing the life Of
Judge Morgan, he dweit in brief on
the qualities, 50 admirable, in the de-
ceased.
Attorney Cuthbert delivered a short
eulogy, in very attractive manner, ex-
tolling the characteristics of the for
mer resident Of Devils Lake. Rev. A.
d. Clattenberg read from the scripture
and pronounced benediction.
The musical programme was with
out exception, one of the best ever
heard Miss Gertrude Riordan render
ed Heard the Voice of Jesus Say,
in charming manner. The fact that
Miss Riordan was urged to assist with
the music at Q o'clock Saturday after
noon, was not known to the audience.
Miss Radcliff sang Babylon to very
good advantage. Miss Cairns was the
accompanist.
Crossing the Bar and Face to Face
were rendered as never heard before
in Devils Lake, by Norman B. Black
Of Grand Forks, with his daughter,
Mrs. L. X. Van Alstine accompanist.

the remains are committee to the
grave will be said by Herbert S. john
son of Boston, who acted as RichesoRs
spiritual advisor after he was taken
to the death house. One of the last
requests made by Richeson was thar

ginia. Johnson will also carry mes
sages from the executed to his rel
atives.
Richeson left no will, but in con-
versations with Johnson and William
A. Morse, legal counsel, during the
hours preceding death, he gave direc-
lions as to the disposition Of his per-
sona effects. His library Richeson
left to clerical friends. s g..

since the electric chair was adopted.
1t was only necessary to apply ths
current once and in less than fifteen
minutes after Warden Bridges and
the party left the prison office for the
death house, they filed back and at
tached their signatures to the papers
stating the order of the court had been
complied with.
After his collapse last Friday night
it was feared that Richeson would
not be able to stand the final strain,
but on the way from the cell to tha
execution chamber his steps did not
falter and he answered questions az to
his faith in God put to him by his
spiritual advisors, calmly.
Within a few days the death house
will be occupied by Lima Cusa1nano
and Enrico Mascioli OF Hull, who have
been sentenced to death during the
week Of June for the murder of the
woman's husband.
