Ciear Case Of Murder. Chief Dugan of the Bureau of Crimi- nal Investigation stout! maintains that it is a clear case of murder, doue unwittingly by the young woman’'s own hand, but surrounded by so many puzzling features as to make it one of the most inieresting in his career. Reward For A Clue. Nearly a dozen police officers are working on the case, while a reward was offered today for anyone who would give any information regarding the purchase and sending of the cya- nide of potassium, which caused Miss Linnell’s death, according to the Medi- cal Examiner. In addition the police are investi- gating the actions of the young wo- man and her companions for some time before her death in the bath room of the Young Woman's jan association building on ton street Saturday night. Lunched With Minister. A leiter from one of her most inti- mate friends at the association was publisher today, stating that Miss Linnell Iunched with Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, pastor of the Immanuel Baptish church of Cambridge, and for- merly M Linnell's pastor and friend, at her home at Hyannis. Cards Qut For His Wedding. Cards for his wedding with Miss Vi- olet Edmonds, the daughter of a weal- thly resident of Chestnut Hill, on Oct. 31, were issued today. Miss Linnell's friends declare that it was generally. understood that = the minister was engaged at one time to marry the music student. Neither Suicide Nor Accident. Cnief Bgan, who is personally investigating the circumstances of the girl's death, spent two hours at the Warrenton street home last night, as as a result of his investigations has eliminated the theory that death was due either to accident or suicide. Following the statement that the girl had been murdered, the Chief inti- mated that developments may be ex- pected in the immediate future. until tomorrow,” he said when ed regarding the action of the police. Drug Stores Canvassed. All day yvesterday the drug stores o1 Boston and Cambridge were carefully canvassed, but without success. It is certain in the minds of the police that Miss Linnell did not buy the cynaide herself. and that it was sent to her with the full knowledge of its dead- 1y effect by some one who desired her out of the way. Miss Linnell, they are sure, had no knowledge of the nature of the drug, for which there is ' no medical use. Second only in importance to the way Miss Linnell came into posses- sion of the cyvanide is the explanation preceding her death, and with whom, if anyone, she dined Saturday after- noon. Richeson Not Interested. Chief Dugan 'interviewed many o1 the girls at the home, among them being Miss Nellie Barkhouse, a chum of the dead girl, and Miss Lucille Sei- ‘gert, her room-mate. Miss Barkhouse is reported to have written a letter to a sister in Hyannisport, saving that Miss Linnell had dined with “the | minister” and the Chief desired an ex- planation of the statement. He de- clined to make public_his findings, the result of his interview with Miss Barkhouse on this point.

As soon as her condition was real- ized following the finding of the un- fortunate girl in the bathroom sever- al of the girls went to the telephone to communicate with® Mr. Richeson. supposing that se would be the person most interested in the girl Miss Lin- nell had told them his address and he was the first person they thought of. ‘After getting the minister on the telephone they told him that Avis was dead. The response was startling, according to the report of the girls. So cooly did he appaeently receive the news of her death that they thought that there must have been a mistake somewhere and they had been given the whong party on the other end of the line. Showed Little Interest. Mr. Richeson, they said, merely re- marked, “Is that s0? Are you s you are not mistaken?’ and aside from of W. J. Mac- of the dead no further giving them the addres the brother-in-law girl in Brockton, showed interest in her death. Mr. Richeson last night declined to make any statement except to deny that he was engaged to Miss Linnell Richeson Visits At Chestnut Hill. At Chestnut Hill, where Rev. Mr. Richeson had gone on_a visit to the home of Miss Edmonds,« there was scarcely a ripple of excitement un- til just before . when Mrs. Ed- monds came out of the house with the minister and both were driven away in a closed carriage. Their destination was not known. Neither would comment .upon the case, although Mrs, Edmouds declared that Mr. Richeson was visiting her daught- er on Saturday afternoon. Never Knew Of Engagement. During the day several residents of Hyannis, who knew both Miss Lin- nell and Mr. Richeson issued state- ments to the effect that so far as they knew there never was a formal en- gagement between the two. A Name Given to Police. In their efforts to solve the mystery of the death of Miss Liunnell, District Attorney Peltier and Chief Dugan of the police detective department, had a conference this afternoon with Frank M. Carter. a Cambridge man. Mr. Car- ter has said that he knows the name of a male friend of Miss Linnell, who he believes furnished her poison with which she ended her life. The name of this acquaintance of Miss Linnell has not appeared thus far in connection with the case, Mr. Carte prises might result from his interview with the police, Carter a Friend of Minister. Mr. Carter is a friend of Rev. Clar- ence Virgil Thompson Richeson, pastor of the Cambridge Immanuel Baptist church, ho is reported to have been en- gaged at one time to M Linnell. Whatever information Mr. Carter was able to give the police remained care- fully guarded tonight. Richeson Staying at Edmonds Home. Rev. Mr. Richeson occupies room: Mr. Carter's residence in Cambridge, but since last Sunday night, when the | tragic death of the young woman was | announced, he has been staying in Brookline at the home of Moses Grant Edmonds, a wealthy parishioner, whose daughter is engaged to marry him.

The statute truant officer is & prosecuting agent of the town. _The truant officer of custom is a o- liceman or constable. The statute pro- vides that e2ch town may make regu- lations concerning habitual truants from scnool and may make such by- laws and impose such penaliy respect- ing sach truents as shall conduce to their welfare and to public order. It further provides that every town hav- ing such by-laws shall annually ap- point three cr more persons who shall be authorized to prosecute for vioia- tion of the truant laws. Regulations and by-iaws as aforesaid have. never been made by this town and truant offic as 1required hy the staiute aforesaid have nevsr been appointed.

It is therefore evident that each and every police officer a tru- ant officer ir the general or cominon acceptance of the term. In order that some such officer shall to look after truants, it has been customary to ap- point 1e person a special constable for that purpose, To do this, one at least of the regular elected consia- bles must fail to qualify within thirty days of election. Such constable ma be allowed fees by the selectrnen for | all_avesis Ty him made upon fling with the selectmen a written state- name of each boy if the boy did return at schoel the name or number of the school to whic¢h he was so re- turned. In addition to the foregoing appointments, the statute also pro- vides that the selectmen may appoint committees of school districts and janitors of school buildings and other perscns on momination by the school iors or board of education of an incorporated school district, scial constables, with power to truancy and violation of school laws. that ment showing the e atatvte further provides the town school committee shall have the powers and duties of school vis- rs. 0 that this parti Ee of E al constables, tnat members of scheoi distriet, janitors of school buildings and persons nominated by school v rs, should be special constables, only upon the rec- ommendation of saii school visitors, or upon the recommendation of the town school committee. I understand that the town comittee nas made no nomi under this statute for the appointment of a speciai constable, and that committee d:d recommend theapp ! ment of a truant officer. As 1 have pointed out, there is not at present any such office to be filled. Jrom the foregoing resume of (he law it is plain that the selectmen. of their own initiative, may appoint a special nstable if a vacancy exists, who may make it his duty to enforce the law relative to truants. The select- men may also appoint other special constablées upon nomination of the school committee, if they deem the same necessar. Respectfully, THOMAS J. KELLEY. October 18, 1911.
