W. UnneYl, of Ifyanuls. 'Ihe grand
jury reported their finding to Judge i
George A, Sanderson, ill the superior '
criminal court, after hearing moro .
.than thirty witnesses during four days' j
conaideratlon of the case
it is under -
atood that the Juror were unanimous
In ordering the return of the Indict
ment. .
By the returning ot thie true bill
the necessity of holding a hearing in
the municipal court la obviated. In
connection n-lfh this latter proceeding,
Rev. Mr. Richeson appeared in. the
lower court today, but the case was
continued formally without action,
and the clergyman taken b!tck to Jail
immediately. By a coincidence today
had been fixed for the marriage of
Mr". RlAeson . and Miss Violet d
mands, of Brooklln.
The minister, as he atood In the
dock this morning, looked somewhat
haggard and pale. Despite the fact
that he . wore the same ministerial
garb in which he appeared before in
court, he was scarcely recognized by
those In the court room. His clothes
tiling loosely about him aa If. he had
lost weight. But the raven black hair
' was combed in the same neat way
whjoh Moisted in giving Mr. Richeson
the distinguished air everywhere re
marked prior to his arrest.
The indictment which is said to be
fclraost unique in the annals of Massa
chusetts homicides in which poison
ing has figured, is of the so-cailed
"blanket" type. The five counts be
ing so worded as to permit the intro
duction of evidence Jby the govern
ment as to any of ever a I methods
by which the poison may have been
conveyed to the dead girl.
As worded, the indictment indi
cates that the government as yet Is
without information as to what means
were employed to hand the poison to
Miss Linnell and is uncertain also
aa to the exact form in which the
poison was taken.
IDstrlct Attorney Peiletler, who had
directed the presentation of the evi
dence, said he believes the grand Jury
. was fully 'warranted In finding an in- j
' dlctme,nt
Attorney Philip R. Dunbar, coun
sel for Richeson, declined to com
ment on the grand jury's action.
The date of Mr. Rlcheson's trial Is
till tentatively set for early in Janu
ary, but neither the district attorney
nor Attorney Dunbar would say to
i night whether any agreement had
' been finally reached in the matter. It
was Teported this afternoon that At
i torney John I Lee; of Lynchburg, a
1 prominent criminal lawyer In the
south, was on his way here to confer
with the attorneys fo rjhe defense In

NEW YORK, Oct II. In spite of

tU&t steps were being taken to enjoin
the common dividend of the United

so that It might be reduced, the usu

plete accord among the directors
present as to the dividend which the
quarterly financial statement showed
I had been earned, although no extra
appropriations were made for expen
ditures. The usual quarterly divi
dend of 1 S-4 per cent on the pre
ferred stock was also declared.
Unusual Interes is attached to the
meeting by 'reason of the dissolution
suit recently instituted by the govern-

additional on this subject was made
public. Trade conditions In their re

formed the bests, it was said, of a part

GETS TAFH ATTENTION
Answers Criticisms Offered
by Martin W. Littleton at
Banquet
PITTfiBURO, Pa., Oct. 81. Presi
dent Taft defended the Sherman anti
trust tonight In answer to an address
made by Congressman Martin W. Lit
tleton, of New York, who earlier In
the evening had attacked provisions
of the law at abanq.uet of the Pitts
turg chamber of commerce. The
president said In pert:
"The. Sherman law has been on the
st111 "ooks ror iwpjjiy years sna nas
onen cooHiruea ana construwi, ana
... .......
That Is all that Is needed for the en
forcement uf any criminal statute.
"It Is not pleasant to be engaged In
what may seem to be an assault ot)
business, but business men thought
this law could not be enforced. Now,
the law can. and Is being enforced,
and, because of this, we hear tonight
that it is to be repealed.
"I would cut my hand off before
I would injure business. Rut what do
I hear ray dear friend Littleton of
fer? One of two courses Is open.
Either we will have Individualism or
wa will have combinations In re
straint of trade going to that point
Where the people will demand that
the power of men engaged in such
corporations be transferred to the
government And t" we will have

nd t case where It stand before tha
bar of the court eondemned as such,
and your honors are examining a pro
posed disintegration for tha purpose
of bringing It Into compllanoa with
tha law, In tha latter case any rea
sonable doubt should properly be re
solved against the proponents, and the
court should be vary, clear that the
proposed division ' will ' re-establish
that lawful condition which Is tha oh
Ject of the decree to attaek."
Concerning the division of tobacco

ground for abjections made by. the

'The commissioners cf the depart

report on tha tobacco Industry which

with the. court. It strongly confirms
the Impression that I had as to the
fairness of distribution of Industries
In the plan, and It effectually an
swers the suggestions made by the so

"Upon this whole case," the attor
ney general concluded, "giving It the
