WITH mum
Boston, Oct. 20. - Rev. Clarence
Virgil Richardson, pastor of
Emanuel Baptist church of Cam
bridge, Mass., was technically
arrested this morning and taken
to police headquarters in connec
tion with the mysterious death
of Miss Avis Linnell, a student
of the Boston C^jnservatory of
Music. Miss Linnell was found
dying in a bathroom Saturday
night after swallowing cyanide
of potassium. The pastor who da
33 years of age, was arrested at
the home of Miss Violet Edmunda
whom he was to marry October
SL Seven hundred invitations
had been issued for the marriage
and theise were called in today
by the father and mother of Miss
Edmunds.
A druggist of Newton, Mass,,
has communicated with Chief In
spector Dugan of this city, claim
ing that he personally sold to Rev
Richardson a package containing
cynadie of potnssium, the kind of
poison that killed Avis Linnell.
The purchase was made four or
five hours before the girl return
ed home from the Boston Y. W.
C. A, Girl told friends that she
took the poison believing it was
med;cine. She had also told a
number of friends that she was
engaged to the pastor. Rev.
Riaiardson denied this after the
girl’s death* The arrest of Rich
ardson was sensational. He was
aroused from a bed at the home
of his financee before dawn |by
me police. The police, after put
ting him through the third de
gree, declared that they will per-
fer the charge of murder against
him.
Boston, Oct, 20.—Rev’d Dr.
Richardson, pilstor of the fashion
able Baptist church of Cambridge
was formally charged with the
murder this afternoon. In less
than a fortnight he wsts tb lead
to the alter the beautiful heiress
Miss Violet Edmunds. Miss Avis
Linnell, who believed she was to
ba- the bride of the prominent
minister, was buried this aftisr-
nDon, her wedding gown being
used as the burial shroud. The
warrant for the formal arrest was
issued by Judge Duff of the crim
inal court,•after William Dugan,
the Newton druggist, had posi
tively identified Richardson as
the man to whom he sold the poi
son last week. It is further
known that Richardson met Miss
Linnell at the South Boston sta
tion last Saturday night, and that
she loved the pastor desperately.
There are two theories for the
murder, one that fearing Miss
Linnell might interfere with the
marriage of the minister to Miss
Edmunds, Richardson purchased
the drug and with rare cunning
skill gave it to the dead girl as a
headache remedy. Anpthre is
,that the drug was purchased for
Miss Linnell so that she could kill
herself when the announcement
of the wedding to Miss Edmundift
was made. The police claimed
that they have a strong case a-
gainst Richardson and that the
drug was given to the girl pur
posely and that she swallowed
the poison believing it was head
ache medicine.

Pendergrast sent Sergeant Cadle

he had constructed into a blind

thought he could not enter the
