Whitfield, conducting an autopsy over the body, announced last night that although he had found no signs of violence, his Investigation was incomplete and would be continued today. Parts of the stomach will be analyzed. Body Is Found. Richardson’s condition was _first discovered when citizens of North Richmond heard a shot at 6:20 yes- terday morning and notified police. Officers who hurried to the scene found a man suffering from a serfous wound in the abdomen and rushed him to hospital, where an immediate operation was found necessary. Mean- while, however, Richardson turned over keys to his apartment and di- rected the officers to go there to ascer- tain if his wife were still alive. Already In a state of partial decom- position, the body was found in bed E all appearances death had ken place several days previous. ers reported that they found no < ¢ violence. Following his operation, the condl- tion of Richardson was said to be hopeful. At the h placed under arrest murder of his wife. Having first de- clared that she killed herself, he later told a story of returned to his home on Satu: night to find a strange man in his wife's bedroom.

During the fight, when his wife sought 1o separate them, he declared that he struck her with the back of his hand end that she fell over a trunk. Mustered Courage to Shoot. Continuing his story, Richardson then told of a restless wandering of the streets for two nights and a day, of returning to his home sometime Sunday and picking the body of his wife up off the floor and laying it on the bed without noticing whether she were alive or dead, of his decision to take his own life and the struggle with himself before he finally sum- moned sufficient courage to fire the shot. Both Richardson and his wife had once been married before their wed- ding in Washington. Richardson’s .
