Boston, No —Tomorrow, a month lacking a day since Avis Linnell was found dead from cyanide of potassium, which she had taken apparently as a medicine, Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, to whom she had considered herself engaged, will answer to the grand jury’s charge that it was he who fur- nished her with the fatal poison. In the formal words “not guilty” the pas- tor of the Immanuel Baptist church of Cambridge, who has spent the past three weeks in jaii, is expected to reit- erate his innocence. Date of Trial May Be Set. His arraignment in the superior criminal court at §.30 tomorrow morn- ing probably will be a very brief pro- ceeding. Its most immediate result,t is believed, will be the announcement of the date upon which the clergyman will be placed on trial to allow the jury to decide whether or mot he, in’ the words of the indictment which was re- turned Oct. 31, “did send, give and convey to Miss Linnell in some manner and way unknown, the poison, pretend- ing to her that it was a medicinal preparation which would overcome her Police Still Lack One Link. Although the police have been quiet- 1y at work since the return of the in- dictment, it is understood that they are still unable to declare certainly the manner n_which the volson reached that the clergyman met the young woman on the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 14, on the evening of which she died. Asked Minister to Marry Him. The police say they have learned that the clergyman had actually asked a minister to marry him to Miss Lin nell, on & date not fixed. This minlster was Rev. Edward S. Cotton of Brew ster, a town near Hyannis, which was | the home of Miss Linnell and the scene of ome of Mr. Rieheson's pastorates. The Rev. Edward H. Cotton, a class- mate of Richeson at the Netwton The- | ological seminary, says that Ritheson drove with Avis Linnell in a carriage te the home of his father a year azo | Jzst summer, that he told the elder | Cotton that 'they were engaged and that he wished the eldur Cotton to per- form the marriage ceremony. The date ‘was left in abevance. Senator Morse to Conduct Defense. The accused clergyman’'s defense has been organized as to the naming of counsel and it is Dbelieved that the court tomorrow will designate former State Senator William A. Morse to conduet the defense. Attorney John L. Lee of Lynchburg, Va., who has been retained by Mr. Richeson's father, will act with ex-Senator Morse. MISS EDMANDS IN HIDING, heson’s Fiancee Arrives in Hast- ings, N. Y., and Disappears Again. New York, Nov. 12.—Mystery sur | rounds the whereabouts of Miss Vio- | let Bdmands of Brookline, Mass., | fiancee of the Rev. C. V. T. Richeson, under indictment for the murder of Avis Linnell. It is definitely known that she arrived at Hastings on the Hudson on Friday afternoon, but up to a late hour nothing could be learn- ed as to her hiding place. Miss Ed- mands had been staving at Pomfret, Conn., but left there when her identity was discovered. According-to a chauffeur, Miss Ed- mands arrived at Hastings on Friday | or the 2 o'clock train. She board- ed an automobile 'bus and told the driver to take her to a place called The Park, in Riverview, which is oc- | cupied by Norman Hapgood. She was dressed in a dark sult and carried a black Gladstone bas. On several occasions during her ride to the designated place she asked the | chauffeur how much further she had |to go. She appeared much perturbed and entirely unfamiliar with her sur- roundings. When within a few blocks <f the Park the chauffeur said she | | tol@ nim she would walk the rest of | the distance. That was the last seen on today by | of her. Shorti- after 1 o'clock vesterday afternoon two trunks addressed to Miss 1:dmands arrived at Hastings, 2nd were sent to the home of Mr. Hap- | good.

In opening his remarks Mr, Jump said that for the past two yecars he had preached the gospel of a minis tering Christ and that in proclaiming his message some of the congregatic | had not agreed with him and sor them were officers in the reh Prouder of Organ Than Poor People. ‘When a church cares more for re- spectabiiity than for humble services; when it is prouder of its organ and yrownstone front than it is of its poor | people w seek Its pews for wor hip: when it regards itself a polite religious club, with its clergyman an errand boy to do its bidding, rather than a regiment marching into battle with its minister heading the charge |and giving the strategy of the cam paign; whenever the power of mo; dominates its policies and restr; s are placed on the lips of the preacher lest he champion too frankly and too carnestly the cause of the laboring man; when it cares more for its dig nity ‘and size than for the breadth of its influence in the ty; when it con gratulates upon thrift of management rather than upon the lavishness with which it spends itself in pushing for rd every good work for, the king dom of God; when it follows conven tionsl pr: nts so vigorously that it dare not fling wide open its doors to the common people and uppeal to them with an evangel put in such terms that it attracts; in short, it is a church that eventually forgets In actice if not in theory the example of Miaster and allows itself to be ad dministered unto rather thana church | that ministers—then the days of the | church are mumbered, Unless it re | pents and brings itself again into har mony with the froe, democratic, soclal gospel of Jesus Christ as recorded ir W stament the Lord will soon or later cast that church out as a unprofitable servant,” Time for Fasting and Prayer. At the conclusion of the above re marks he said: 1 hasten to add in thess phrases I have mot attempted to describe any cular church, least of all the South church, I have merely said th if @ church is falling in any or all | of those lines it needs to consider | own case most seriously. You know, he said, “your own church better than I You know If any of these charges could be brought against your church Agalnst the church as a whole or any single person in the church, If thera is any danger of their being true, it is time for fasting and prayer.” Not to Be Frightened. In closing he sald: “Some of you have not been sparing in your speech in public or private or sparing inerft- icism of and my work. 1 am not to be frightened out of my convic- tions.” HUSBAND ACCUSES A PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER Trenton Man Says the Rev.
