Boston, Oct. 21c—While maddened
neighbors of hie alleged victim hung
him In effigy at Hyaanlsport today, the
Rev. Clarence Virgil Thompson Riche
son, pastor of tbe Immanuel Baptist
churob, of Cambridge, who Is accused
of the murder ■ of nlneteen-year-old
Avis Linnell, the beautiful atudent of
the New England Conservatory of Mus
ic, was defended by Miss Violet Ed-
mands. his flanceei
Weeping In her mother's arms, Miss
Edmonds declared that the pastor is
Innocent
"Ho did not klU Miss Linnell,” she
sobbed. "He could not have done It
It Is all a horrible mistake."
Her mother stroked her hair, and
pleaded with her to be calm.
"God will see that justice Is done, my
daughter," Mrs. Edmonds said. "We
must trust Him."
But the grief-stricken girt refused to
be consoled.
Parenta Share Belief,
The parents of Miss Edmonds share
her belief In Blcheson’s innocence. Al-
tho her father, Moses Grant Edmonds,
has recalled the 700 Invitations to the
wedding, which was scheduled for Oc
tober 31, the day when the accused
minister will enter on trial for his life,
close friends said today that he will
spend his entire fortune. If necessary,
to free hi* daughter's fiance,
' Miss Edmonds, slnco the tragedy,
has remained in the mansion ot her
parents, refusing to see even the girl
friends of her school days who called
to console her, and the friends with
whom she has moved in Brookline’s
most exclusive society circles.
The efforts of the police to clear up
the mystery have been redoubled. To
day tha detectives are trying to forge
the last link In the chain of evldenoe,
which they declare will complete their
case against the minister.
Fatal Saturday Afternoon.
Chief Dugan Is satisfied that Rev. MY.
Richeson met Miss Linnell last Sat
urday afternoon and under the guise
of giving her medicine gave her the
cyanide of potassium, whlcn caused her
death. Bo far, no one haa been found
who saw them together, but the detect
ive believes that the publicity which
has been given the case will bring forth
some one who will furnish this direct
evidence of their meeting.
The police are confident that before
many hours have elapsed they will
have In their possession evidence that
Avis Linnell and Richeson took lunch
eon together last Saturday afternoon
In a dining room In the Book Bay dis
trict, only a few hours before the girl’s
tragic death.
No date has been set for on Inquest
In the case. Formal action on this will
follow closely on the filing of the report
of Medical Examiner Leary, whose rev.
elation of Miss Linnell'* physical con
dition as disclosed at the autopsy first
Indicated her death to have been the
result of a plot almost unparalleled for
fiendishness In the criminal annals of
the country.
Shows HU Iren Nsrvs.
Richeson so far haa proven himself a
man of the same iron nerve typo as
Henry Clay Beattie. Jr, the condemned
Richmond (Va.) wife murderer, by the
stoical lndlfferenco with which he has
faced the terrible charge hanging over
him and the easy manner In which he is
bearing hie confinement. Today In his
cell In the Charles-sL jail be appeared
to be In the best of health and spirits
and sto heartily of all that was served
to him. To tho Jailer he declared' that
he had slept soundly throughout the
ntght and that the hard prison cot
served him as well as the luxurious bed
that he was accustomed to. He is prov
ing a model prisoner, courteous In his
demeanor and apparently pleased witn
every attention that Is shown him by
his callers.
INDIGESTION AND GAS TAKE GASGARETS
That awful sourness, belohlng of acid and foul gases; that pain In the pit
of tho stomach, tha heartburn, nervousness, nausea, bloating after eating,
feeling of fullness, dullness and sick headache, means Indigestion; a disor

and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food

MAJOR COLBURN CLAIMS
HIS REMOVAL IS ILLEGAL

burn, over tho removal of the last-
named from tho Chickamauga. Park
commission and the substitution of the
second. _ ' .
Only Indisposition upon the part of
Major Colburn when tho commission
met hero prevented an embaraislng
situation, as both he and General Wll
der would undoubtedly have been In at
tendance. In his absence the commie
eton transacted its business and sub
mltted a report to the war department
In which Colbum’e claims were Ig
nored. The latter, however, has filed
a telegraphlc'protest with the war de
partment. He states that he was Ille
gally removed. A perusal of the act
of congress creating the commission
shows that the members are to be ap
pointed or removed by the president
at his discretion. This being the case
It la not believed that official cogni
sance of Colburn’s protest will be token
by the war department. Precedent
alone supports him, as It has been cus
tomary In the past to allow all ap
pointees to hold their office for life.
It te underttood that the Army of Cum
berland has championed. the cause or
Major Colburn, who Is also secretary of
this organization, but It ,!a not be
lieved that even Intercession upon their
part will be of avail, as the president's
mind Is set In the matter.
The real cause of Colburn s removal.
It Is Intimated, Is due to the fact that
he not only refused to recognise Gen
eral Grosvenor, the chairman, as a su
perior upon the board, but, moreover,
failed utterly In every Instance to agree
with either the latter or Major Cum-
mlng. of Augusta, the third member
of the commission.

DON’T HUG A DELUSION
Something “Just as Good” an
Impossibility—If Not . the
Original, Have Noth
ing at All.
For a woman to adorn her head with
false braids, puffs and rats, or a’man to
wear a topee, is like buying an off-
brand hair preparation Inetead of New-
bro's Herplctde. The "false hair" and
the "off-brand” are both substitutes for
the real thing. Tffie original Is alwaye
conceded to be better than any Imita
tion or substitute. “Something just os
good" is a heresy of tho rankest kind.
Newbro’s Hcrplclhe le the original
remedy and does as promised. Years
of success and thousands of satisfied
usera have made It standard. Herpl-
clde kills the dandruff germ, keeps the
scalp clean and stops falling balr. Its
proper use before # baldness appear*
makes false hair and wigs unnecessary.

“HOW ARE YOUR BOWELS?” IS
YOUR DOCTOR’S UNFAILING QUESTION
Physicians Know That 75 Per
of Sickness Begins with a Tor
pid Liver and Constipatioii,
and 50 Per Gent of Mor
tality Might Have Been
SaVed.
Constipation Is the commonest of
simple ailment*. You get constipated
when you havo a slight, cold, a heavy
meal, an unusual dish or, a change of
water may give you constipation, and
you are constipated when ’’there Is
nothing at all the matter,” And that’s
the trouble. Constipation should never
be neglected. Why 7
All food eaten has some undlgestlble
waste which the Uver clears away day
by day. An oversupply or a change In
your habits sometimes causes the liver
to neglect a few particles, which .remain
In the stomach and make It ptore diffi
cult the next day for the liver to do lts
cleansing work. So this waste accumu
lates and clogs the Intestinal canal and
causes constipation. That Is not all.
If the waste Is not eliminated it fer
ments and generates uric add, a poi
sonous substance which gets into the
blood stream and Is carried along
through the system to poison It. Self-
polsonlng, or autotoxemia, this Is term
ed medically.
When uric acid Is deposited Ih the
joints and muscles you havo rheuma
tism; when It touches the-nerves, neu
ralgia, paralysis, nervous prostration;
and poisonous Irritation of the delicate
linings of the nose, throat or stomach
causes catarrh. These are but tho more
common uric add diseases; as the poi
son accumulates more serious difficul
ties develop. And constipation and a
torpid liver were pt the beginning.
Many purgatives taken for a bilious
attack, such os calomel, work up the
bile, force the liver and bowels to
compulsory action and leave them
weakened. JACOBS' LIVER SALT Is
different. It Immediately dissolves the
uric add that has accumulated and
passes It off In tho urine; it flushes
and cleanses the Intestinal canal, re
lieving the liver from the pressure of
dogged fermentation, and the Uver of
Itself resumes its normal activity.
There Is no nausea, no domlting or
griping, because the action Is natural,
not forced. It act* quickly, but mildly,
and It cures.
Take a glass of Jacobs’ Liver Balt
Effervescent Water before breakfast;
It's a good habit. The drink Is effer
vescent and pleasant, and simply won
derful In Its stimulant effect upon the
Uver. Try It, 1-2 pound Jar 26c. (By
