Minister as He Bought Poison Asked the Druggist to His Wedding— Silent on Charg (Special to The Evening World.) TON, Oct. 20.—As calm and unruffled as if he were in his own pulpit Rev. Clarence Virgil Thompson Richeson, pastor of the Im- manuel Baptist Church of Cambridge, strolled into his cell in the Charles Street Jail to-day after passing through an extraordinary ordeal of arrest ona charge of accomplishing the murder of his discarded sweetheart Avis Linnell, upon the eve of his wedding to a Brookline heiress. The stupendously calm shepherd of an aristocratic Cambridge flock waived a reading of the complaint against him, which sets forth that he furnished a mortal dose of cyanide of potassium to the little Hyannis choir singer, whose heart he had won while pastor of the Hyannis Baptist’ Church. His hearing in court lasted just three minutes, whereuport he {was committed to jail to await a rearraignment on Oct. 31, the day that had been set for his marriage to Violet Edmonds, worth $250,000 in her ywn right and heir to her tather’s great fortune. thy he sensationa arrest of the young ciergyman in the Moses G. Ed- mond mansion at Brookline completely overwhelmed his fiancee and her who on the day Avis Linnell died in agony at the Boston Y. W. \. Building, had sent out almost a thousand invitations for the wedding, A warrant charging wilful murder was sworn out against Rev, Riche- son soon after his arrest and he was immediately arraigned before Judge Murray in the Municipal Court. BUYING POISON HE TALKED OF WEDDING Probably the most sensational revelation tn a case bristling with sensa- tions {s furnished by the Newton Centre druggist who sold the Rev. Riche- son a packet of cyanide of potassium a few hours before the death of Mise Linnell, “Lam buying this for ® dog,” the clergyman is alleged to have sald as calmly and casually as if he were purchasing a postage stamp. Then, after a little chat with the druggist, he invited him to attend his wedding to Migs Edmonds, The Richeson-Edmonds wedding was scheduled to take place in the First Baptist Church at Newton Centre, within full view of the drug store in which the young pastor purchased tho deadiy cyanide. The popular Cambridge pastor was arrested in the Brookline mansion of Moses G. Edmonds, father of his betrothed. The arrest followed the disec that a Newton Centre druggist had sold cyanide to Rev, Richeson four or five hours before Avis Linnell took the fatal drug in the belief that {t was a medicine that would bring about an important phyateal hange In her ry phase the case is one of the most senga- history of the commonwealth. ‘The accused pastor was cool aud composed as he iked from the home ef hie flancee a prisoner, He faced # throng of curious persons without » sign of emotion, and when @ battery of cameras were levelled at him by photographers he never winced, but walked with calm face easy stride in the custody of me In almst tional polson mysteries In the the poll SAD HE WANTED POISON FOR DOG, | The usual formalities of “booking” the man arrested were deferred at | Headau per h of @ warrant, Mr. Richeson was . i tt € pe a sitting of the court from whieh ved 1 document might obtained After a ing at headquarters Deputy Superintendent Watts revealed th yrmation on which the arrest was ma.
