District Attorney Felletier. who will have charge of Richeeon'e trial set for January 16. made a brief statement In which he asserted that th trial would begin on the data as signed. Th district attorney's declaration that Rtchaeon would be strong enough to appear In oourt on January Is, waa corroborated hy Dr. Howard A. Lothrop, on of th surgeons who at tended the prisoner.
