RICHARDSON WAN
 IN HIS APPEARANCE
Former Detective Sergeant Faces
 Long Prison Term

Visioly nervous, refusing to meet any of the glances turned his way by former friends and acqua1ntances, many of them, being state police, at- torneys and reporters with whom he has worked for years, Andrew J. Richardson, suspended detective ser geant of his city, as told in yester- days Herald, admitted his guilt in superior court to receiving and con ctaling a stolen automobile almost a year and half ago. Richardson was a different man than the confident po- lice official whose sensational arrest startled this city 3 days ago. A per ceptable change was noticed in him since his confinement in a cell.
 Admits Guilt.
 Andrew J. Richardson" intoned voice of the assistant clerk of the su- perior court,,> ''you are charged with receiving and concealing an automo- bile owned by one Theodore Troy of New York, on or about May 9,1920 Are yoh guilt or not guilty"
 In low, husky voice, downcast eyes and an expression of remorse on
  ly, Guilty to my knowledge" Thus by his own words, the former detec- tive stands convicted in the same court which he sent many another offender in his IT years as po1ice- man. He resumed his seat between hls two boys, a pathetic figure; ap- prehensive as he realized that the crime to which he has confessed car- res with 1t possible penalty of 10 years in prison, and that if he ever emerge fro mprison alive, providing the court gives him the maximum he will be an old man, brok- An, forsaken by old time friends, his character and reputation gone and with it his livelihood. Whether or not he will be charged further with having dealings with rum runners. splitting on proceeds with others who have evaded the~law, has not been stated at this time. a5
 One word, Guilty was the re- sponse made by Jake Wrinkle to the same charge.
 Had Confessed Before.
 For the first time yesterday States Attorney Alcorn admitted that Rich
 
 a statement made October 1. This ad- mission on the part of Attorney AL corn strengthens the suspicion, which has not been confirmed but was denied by Charles Giardino in an interview with a Herald representative last Sat urday, that the Giardino brothers may have confessed also. The fact that the brothers have been "on the carpet in the states attorneys office and have been quizzed at their place of business at the Grand hotel since the statement denying the confession was made to The Herald, exclusively, and also the fact that they have subsequently, de- as bona fide evidence among local resi- dents that they too have confessed.
 Giardino3 Next.
 The Richardson araignment yester- day, and the request for a speedy trial for McAuliffe this morning also strengthens the feeling that the Giar- dino brothers will get hearing with iii short time. It is thought now the state'a case is almost completed and hearings can be held at any time.
 Kalkowslxi Case.
 There is much conjecture in the city as to what will be the disposition ot the Ka1kowski case when it comes up for a final hearing Saturday. That Louis Wrinkle was murdered in Kal- kowskis saloon, and that Kalkowski and his bartender Big Frank" Fetz-
