VIVIDLY RECALLED
Investigation of the case of James
Richardson, the negro who killed his
wife with an ax several nights ago. has
revived In the minds of the police vivid
memories of the bloody Pittsburg riot
of 1902, It having developed that the
wlfo slayer Is a son of Will Richardson,
the ring leader of the riot, whose skill
with the rifle brought death to at least
three officers.
The deadly work done by Will Rich
ardson, while barricaded with other ne
groes In his home In Pittsburg. Is well
remembered. Richardson was a crack
shot with a rifle, and In fact had won
such n reputation ns a marksman that
he had been ruled nut of a number of
turkey shoot* by negroes. At the time
of the Pittsburg trouble, while the of-
Acera were besieging the barricaded
house. Richardson picked off two city
policemen and a county pollcemnn. A
bailiff was also killed, but this shot was
Areil from a shotgun and another negro
was convicted of this and sentenced for
life.
The officers were held off for some
time, but Anally caught one of the ne
groes emerging from the house and
force* him to return and set Are to the
place. After the house had burned
down. Rlehardson’s charred remains
were found In the ashes.
The son' Is now In the Tower for the
murder of his wife, and declares he
wants to be hanged. He was given a
preliminary hearing Thursday after
noon before Justice Klngsberry nnd
was ordered held without bond. It Is
believed Insanity will be the defense of
the slayer, us he persists In expressing
a desire to die on the gallows.
