(Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) BOSTON, Oct. 25.—The re-examination of the casket in which the body of poisoned Avis Linnell was buried having established that no poison container was buried with her, the State authorities are seeking to prove that the Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, the accused Baptist preacher, gave the choir singer the deadly drug in a gelatine capsule. This theory was first propounded by the experts who sought for an explanation of how it happened that the young girf lingered twenty-five minutes in death agony, after swallowing a dose of poison sufficient to kill several persons almost instantly. That is, death would have occurred instantly if the poison had been taken in solution. It would have come swiftly if the poison had been taken in crystals or powder.

ALBANY, Oct. 25.—After repeated re- fusais to answer inquiries concerning the ownership of stock in the Journal Company of Albany, of which he ts President, William Barnes jr., Chairman of the Republican State Committee, in effect was declared in contempt to-day by the Senate Committee which is in- vestigating Albany city and county af- fairs.
