ACCUSED OF MURDER
Love Letter From Dead
Girl To Richeson Has
Comes To Light
Boston, Mass., Oct 24.—A love let
ter written to the Rev. Clarence V.
Richeson by Avis Linnell forms the
best defense that has yet developed in
connection with the charge against
Richeson of having poisoned Mias
Linnell.
The letter was found among Riche-
eon’s effects at his Come. In it,
cording \p one of the lawyers inter
ested in the defense, Biss Linnell asks
the minister, as a friend in whom she
could trust, to meet her and talk wiTn
her about the serious trouble she was
in.
“This letter,” said a man close to
the defense, “was found in Mr. Ricne
son’s room before the police got
there and is now in the hanas of his
attorneys. It will prove, with other
evidence we have found, that Mr-
Richeson was not responsible for Miss
Lirinell’s trouble.”
The Jiody of Mss Linnell will be ex
humed today in the little cemetery at
Hyannis and brought to Boston by
the prosecution. The body is to be
taken from the grave upon the order
of District Attorney Joseph C. Pel
letier.
