Boston Preacher Admits n Gave
Poison to His Former Sweetheart
Case Called for January 15th.
Rev. C. V. T. Richeson, a promi
nent young minister of Boston, Mass.,
has confessed that he gave poison to
his former sweetheart on October 14
which caused her death. The pastor
does not tell why he murdered the
girl, nor does he give any details of
the crime. On December 20th he
mutilated himself horribly and was
in a critical condition for several
days. He says the crime preyed on
his mind and he was obliged to con
fess. The crime alleged against Riche
son is the murder of Avis Linnell on
the night of October 14th. Miss Lin
nell, a girl of nineteen, was a native
of Hyannis, where Richeson former
ly preached, and was studying at the
New England Conservatory of Music
there.
Miss Linnel was found dying in
a bath-room in the Young Women's
Christian Association building where
she lodged. At first it was believed
she had taken poison, but a day or
two later, it became geierally known
that she had taken cyanide of potas
sium in the belief that It would rem
edy her embarrassing physical condij
tion.
On the day following Miss Lin
nell's death, Richeson went to the
home of Moses Grand Edmands, fath
er of Miss Violet Edmands to whom
Richeson was to have been married
October 31st, last.
It was reported to the police that
the young pastor had been engaged
to Miss Linnell. It was also a police
theory that the minister was the per
son to whim Miss Linnell's physical
condition would cause the greatest
worriment.
On the night of October 19th, Wil
liam Hahn, a druggist at Newton
Center, reported to the police that a
few days before the death of Miss
Linnell, Richeson had purchased
cyanide of potassium from him. The
next day Richeson waa arrested at
the Edmands home in Brookllne. The
wedding invitations were recalled.
A special grand jury on October
51st returned an indictment against
Richeson who pleaded not gullyt.
His trial waa fixed for January 15.
Later he resigned his pastorate.
Richeson is about thirty-five years
old and was born at Rose Hill, Va.

Nature naturally produces them In

In the olden days woman never
told her love, but modem woman
does not "let concealment like a
worm In tbe bud feed on her damask

front parlor, puts pink shades on the
lamp and In summer hangs ham
mocks on the porches and trees. "Man
proposes," as the proverb salth. but
woman paves the way. .And some
times man does not propose; that's;
the pity of it. He drinks oceans of
tea, takes up years of time and still
sits silent on the sofa, like a bump on
a log. Shall woman, then still stand
on her pedestal, like Patience on a
