RIcHEsoN STILL WEAK
May Be Unable to Stand Trial on the
18th.

Boston, Jan. 4.-The fact that the
attorneys for Rev. Clarence V. T.
Richeson. accused of the murder of
Avis Linnell of Hyannis, did not visit
him in his cell in the Charles-street
prison yesterday, but instead held a
consultation which extended through
most of the day, led to a report that
an important definite move is soon
to be announced by the defense
While the nature of the plans OF
Richeson's counsel is only matter
of surmise, the belief seemed to gain
ground in court circles that the Cam
bridge minister will not be brought
to trial on January 10, the date set.
Attorneys William 4. Morse and
John j. Lee, the prisoners counsel
who interviewed him Tuesday, report
ed that he collapsed utterly at one
time and further showed such men,
tai weakness that he could not follow
the details of the matters presented
so that in their opinion he was far
from being in a condition to stand
trial
AS result of this statement from
the defense there was renewed spec
ulation as to the prospect of a petit.
ton for a lunacy commission, while
the report was also persistent that
the defense would ask that physici.
ans be named to examine the prison
er as to his ability physically to face
trial on the date set Neither of the
attorneys for the defense would
make any statements as to the ma
ture of results of their conference.
1t was announced yesterday that
Beverly Harrison, one of the Virginia
attorneys for the defendant, has
withdrawn from the case. II was
stated that circumstances in the
South made his action necessary.
While the defense is preparing its
case the state is also busily engaged
Prospective witnesses are being ex-
amined almost daily at the court
house and other preparations by the
state are being completed.
Officers at the courthouse are be-
ing flooded with requests for seats at
the trial Letters are being received
from various parts of New England
asking that seats be reserved for the
writer's. Some applicants have ex-
pressed willingness to pay high pric-
es for the privilege of attending the
trial

AN old Timer

Joe {. kinch Who Learned His voca-

Office.
JUST AFTER CIVIL WAR
Settled IN Southern Texas Many
Years Ago Where He Es-
tabIlshed Pioneer
Newspaper.

Old memories frequently come back
to Keokuk. and the old memories are
usually the dearest memories. 1t is
wonderful how Keokuk people have
scattered here and there over this
country and the world, dying here and
there as time goes on And with
these memories The Gate City is close
ly connected Within its files are
folded away the accurate details of
the city's history since its first issue,
and stories written of the earlier per-
Tod, even back to the one cabin days.
And comparatively speaking Keokuk
is not an old city.
In its mail this morning The Gate
City received letter from Thomas
Rees, a former Keokuk newspaper
hoy. now one of the proprietors of the
Springfield. Ill. State Register. In
which Mr. Rees says:
Il do not know whether you have
ever announced the death of Joe B..
kinch. formerly of Keokuk. or not.
Joe Kinch, as he was usually called,
learned his trade In the old Gate City
office under Mr.. Clendenin, the pres
ent editor Of the Illinois State Regis
ter, being employed there In the
years between about 1870 and 1875.
After leaving there he went to south
ern Texas and started newspaper
called The Four Counties. in one of
the frontier towns. The country
where he located was sparsely set
tied and he published the only news
paper in an area OF four counties and
1t was practically the official news
paper for those counties. l had moi
heard from him for number Of years
until Mr. J. I. o. Thompson, Of the
Pickens, s c.. Sentinel-Journal, II
writing to Mr.. Clendenin. the editor o
the State-Register, few days ago OF
