Richeson confessed to giving her poison, which caused her death Oc tober 14, 1911. The current waa turned on at 2:10.02 and the pris oner waa declared dead at 12:17, The former clergyman was out wardly calm when he entered the leath chamber and he maintained his composure while the straps and •lectrades were being adjusted as he sat In the electric chair.

At Cincinnati In a most bitter and ■cathlng denunciation of Col. Theo dore Roosevelt,, President Taft Sat urday night declared that the “cer tainty of his defeat for the Republi can nomination must be a source of profound congratulations to all pat riotic citizens;” declared that his pre decessor in the White House would wreck the Republican party If he Is not chosen by the Republican nation al convention , and compared Mr. Roosevelt to Louis XIV, of France, who said "the State; I am It." The attack was In tho form of a statement In which the President said In part: “Mr. Roosevelt says that he Is the Republican party and that If he Republican national committee, In passing on the credentials of delegat es for the preliminary roll In the con vention, shall hold to be unfounded his many flimsy contests, he will de cline (o abide the Judgment of those having authority.

The crime for which Richeson, at. the time of his arrest pastor of the Immanuel church of Cambridge, was sentenced to die In the electric chair, waa the confessed murder of bl» for mer sweetheart, 19-year-old Avis Llnnell, of Ilyannls, a pupil in the New England Conservatory of Music In Boston. The girl stood In the Way of the minister's marriage to Miss Violet Edmands, & society girl and heiress of Brookline, both through an en gagement which still existed be tween the two and because of a con dition In which Miss Llnnell found herself The girl was deceived into taking a poison given her by Riche son, which she believed would rem edy that condition and died In her rooms at tho Young Woman's Chris tian Association on the evening of October 14, 11 1. On that day In vitations had been Issued for the wedding ceremony which was to unite Richeson and Miss Edmands. As pastor of a small church In the Cape Cod town of Ilyannls two years before, the handsome and eloquent minister, then 7.3 years old, had been attracted to Avia Llnnell, who was an exceptionally pretty girl of 17 years. She ihcd with her parents, her father, Edgar Llnnell, being a contractor and builder. It was her ambition to become a teacher and she was attending the State normal school at Hyaftnls. Miss Llnnell Joined Richeson’s church, was baptized by him and be came a member of the church choir. In a sho r t time, early WOODROW WILSON RAN AHEAD AMONG TARHEELS.

Miss Edmands was prominent socially and was wealthy In her own right, as well as entitled to share In the estate of some $SS0,000 left by her grandfather. Ei.trance to the ex clusive home of the Edmands had been easy to the minister as tho pas tor of the church tho family attend- rd. and In a short time ho was ac cepted a* suitor for tho daughter's hand. At tho same time Richeson was meeting Miss Llnnell as formerly. The Invitations to the wedding of RTlohoBon and Miss Edmands were sent out the afternoon of Saturady, October 14 That same afternoon Richeson dined with Avis Llnnell at a little restaurant In the Back Bay. While there tho girl appeared Re pressed. At times tears rolled dovVn her cheeks. When she returned to her lodging place, however, she seemed cheerful, although quickly excusing herself and hurrying away to her room. Groans were heard coming from a bathroom of the association quarters shortly after 7 o’clock that evening. The door was broken in and Miss Llnnell was found partially uncons cious and apparently In great agony. Half an hour later she died without recovering consciousness. A belief that the girl committed suicide was at first general, but her family were disposed to discredit the report, and a thorough Investi gation was made. As a result the police felt war ranted In takln action. The evening of October 19 Chief Inspector.-Dugan and members of his force went to the home of Mr. Ed mands an Devon street In Brookline, to arrest Richeson on ths suspicion that he waa guilty of murder.
