ON DAY SET FOR WEDDING
RICHESON FACES COURT
Boston, Oct. 31.—The Rev. Clarence
V. T. Rlcheson, charged with the mur
der of Avll Llnnell, was taken from
his cell in the. Charles-st. Jail at 7:55
o’clock today, placed in a van and
driven to the municipal court. He was
taken there for arraignment as the
slayer of the pretty choir singer. His
hearing had been set for today when
he was taken to court following his ar
rest a week ago last Friday. It was
expected that the district 'attorney
would ask tdr a farther continuance of
the case because* of the fact that It
Is In the hands of the grand jury.
This was to have been Rlcheson’s
wedding day. He was to have married
Mbs Violet Edmandsf, the daughter and
heiress of one of the wealthiest and
most prominent residents of Boston’s
aristocratic suburb, Brookline. More
than 700 invitations had been sent out
for the ceremony which was to have
been a notable church and society func
tion of the early fall season^
Instead of leading Miss Edmands to
the altar he faced the bar of Justice
In formal arraignment on tho terrible
charge of having killed the pretty
Hyannla music student. The state In
Its case wll contend that he planned her
death to clear the path for his marriage
to the wealthy Miss Edmands; that be
cause of his relations with the slain
glr] revelations were Imminent which
may have forever killed any chance of
his union with the heiress.
The wedding dress which Miss Ed
mands was to have worn today hangs in
the rooms of a Back Bay modiste. Miss
Edmands has not seen It since tho day
Rlcheson was arrested In her home on
the murder charge. There Is another
wedding dress In the Rlcheson case. It
was made by Avis Llnnell, for she, too,
export.-d to have boon tin- bride of the
clergyman. Today the slmplo white
gown Is wrapped about the form of the

CHILD, BADLY SCALDED,

Terribly scalded Saturday afternoon
from turning over a pot of boiling wa

year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Elvln M.
Dutton, of 362 Fraser-st, died Monday
afternoon. The little boy was toddling
around In the kitchen at the time of the
accident and in some way pushed over
the pot of scalding water. Physicians
were called In at once and gave no hope
for his recovery. He lingered until
Monday afternoon.
The remains were taken to Bloom-
fleld-Burkcrt's chapel and will be car
ried to Chattanooga for funeral and in

House Set AfirsT
A small house at 24 Rhlnehart-sL,
owned by the Fulton Bag and Cotton
mills, was partly burned about 10
o'clock Monday night The house is
occupied by Mrs. Mary Gunn and »ev-
f ral others. According to the statement
of neighbors, the occupants of the bouse
were away at the time and the fire was
of Incendiary origin. An Investigation
will be made.
When J. O. Ross, the negro president
of the Atlanta State Savings bank, at
Aubum-ave. and Butler-st, appears In
police court Tuesday afternoon Record-
er Broyles will enter Into the trial of
what is said to be the biggest blind
tiger case made by the police since the
prohibition law went Into effect. The
case of Ross was made Monday after
noon by Detectives Norris and Fain,
after several days’ work had been spent
by detectives In laying a trap for the
bank.
City Attorney Mayson, with whom
detectives held conferences before the
case was made, will appear as prosecut
ing attorney.
This Is the first case of Its kind to be
made In Atlanta, and every point will bo
hard fought.
Several railroad men, employees of
the Western and Atlantic railroad, have
been summoned to appear as witnesses,
at which time the connection of the
railroad with the big shipments of
liquor being received In Atlanta will be
explained. No case has been made
against the railroad, as Chief Beavers
says that as far as he can find the road
has not violated the law in any way.
The case of the bank Is based on the
charge that bills of lading for big ship
ments of whisky consigned to fictitious
clubs arc handled thru the bank, being
sold to wholesale blind tiger operators.
Detective Fain a few days ago visited
the bank and bought one of these bills
of lading. He will be one of the main
witnesses for the prosecution.
"I believe we have struck the foun
tain head of the big blind tigers,” said
Chief Beavers Tuesday morning. "If
we can stop the fountain we can put an
end to much of this liquor traffic."

MACON IS LIKELY TO BE
Grand Master Napier Recom*
mends the Erection of Great
Masonic Temple.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 31*—Macon will very
likely be declared the homo of the grand
lodge of Masons of Georgia. The grand
lodge met here this morning and heard
the annual address of the grand mas
ter, Hon. George M. Napier. He recom
mends the erection of a great office
building so that the lodge could get
rentals, as the grand lodge already
owns a big lot In Macon, and as the
sentiment seems tp be overwhelming In
favor of locating the permanent head
quarters of the lodge here. It Is be
lieved that the erection of the building
will be authorized by the present ses
slon.
In his address Mr. Napier told of a
decision he had made during the year
in which he held that no Mason could
remain In good standing and engage In
the* near-beer business.
This afternoon the visitors—2,000 In
number—were served with a barbecue
In the city market house. Election of
officers will probably be held tomorrow.
Robert L. Colding, of Savannah, will
probably be the next grand master.

Macon, Ga., Oct. 31,—Two Atlanta
men are In Jail here and a third will
likely be arrested this afternoon as a
result of the Anglln-Jester fight on the
streets here Saturday night. Mrs.
Anglin swore out a peace warrant
against her husband, John T. Anglin,
and he Is In jail.
Anglin retaliated by tAking a war
rant charging assault and battery
against Ira Bradshaw,*his wife's father.
W. R. Jester, who was beaten by
Anglin, arrived In Macon again this
morning and swore out a warrant
charging assault with Intent to murder
against Anglin, and Anglin announces
that he Js going to take a warrant
against* Jester charging adultery.
Jester says the whole scheme is an
attempt to extort money from him by
Anglin and that he proposes to fight to
the bitter end.
Mr. Justice Nash R. Broyles of the
court of appeals— %
This Js a possibility of the near fu
ture which will be Interesting news to th«»
many friends and admirers of Atlanta's
celebrated police Judge and to prohibi
tionists and liquor sellers alike.
Not that Judge Broyles has made
any positive announcement to this ef
fect—no, not yet But a casual re
mark which Tuesday morning he per
mitted to slip over the bar of Justice
Indicates that he has his Judicial eye
trained on the higher bench.
Following this the recorder, when
questioned by a Georgian reporter as to
the significance of the remark and-as
to the probability of his candidacy for
the court of appeals, replied:
"I may seek a place on the court of
appeals bench, but Just now I am not
prepared to make a statement."
The casual remark referred to was
this: ■ *
"If I become a member of . the court
of appeals I will never make such a
ruling."
This expression was prompted by a
point raised by Attorney J. S. McClel
land, counsel for Will and Minnie
Los Angsles, Oct. 31.—Frank Frakes
was today passed by the state for cause
as a Juror in the McNamara trial. He
had already been passed by the defense.
He Is the eighth man in the box now
subject only to peremptory' challenges.
Ray H. Fitzgerald, the private detective
employed by tho defense, was recalled
to tho stand in an effort to impeach
Talesman George W. Johnson.
Judge Bordwell denied the challenge
of the defense to Talesman George W.
Johnson, who, according to the testi
mony of Private Detectlvo Fitzgerald
for the defense, asserted The Times had
been destroyed by unionists. Johnson
denied having made the statement and
could not Identify Fitzgerald when
brought face to face with him.
Johnson Is the ninth man to be seat
ed as a juror and only three plgew
remain to be filled before peremptory
challenges will be used.
ARGUMENTS HEARD FOR
POSSESSION OF EVIDENCE
Indianapolis, |nd., Oct. 31.—Argu

Federal authorities for.possession of the
alleged evidence secured by the Marlon
county authorities.at tho time of the
arrest of Secretary-Treasurer J. J. Me
Namara, bf the Structural Iron Work
ers association, and his removal to Los
Angeles..
Attorney. Rappaport Insisted that the
union records belong to tho Iron Work
ers association and must bo returned by
the court. Prosecutor Baker declared
the recqrds were In his charge and not
in custody of the court, because he
seized them without a subpena or order

Attorney Winter desired the records
lie turncil over to the California « ourt

KING MISCHIEFS OWN NIGHT
ROLLS AROUND ONCE MORE
This Is the night when witches ride yards of the girls' schools get
their broomsticks thru the clouds, when
sepulchers yawn and graves give up
their dead, as another writer has aptly
remarked. It won't be safe to be on
the streets after dark Tuesday with
out a rabbit’s foot, a horseshoe and a
four-leaf clover, all tied tn a true
lover's knot. It's the eve of All Saints,
known In the vernacular as A1I Hal
loween, and it's a big night for raising
trouble. ,
Tonight’s the night when door bells
ring and nobody's there when you craw!
out of your easy chair and go shiver
ing to the entrance; tonight’s the night
when the stone cupids In the front
BW . tell
coat of-college colors; tonight’s the
night when wires stretch across aide-
walks to trip up unwary pedestrians;
when boys and girls swathed In sheets
and crowned with Jack o’lanterns run
amuck on quiet sidewalks and make
night hideous with their cries. In short,
tonight's the night for sober, quiet folk
to go home early, put a plug la tha
door bell and stay Indoors.
The usual number of Halloween par
ties are scheduled for, the evening, but
the more Important conspired ^ have
not been made public. It will not be
until after the adjusters have made
their report Wednesday that the total
damage may bo fairly estimated.
New Orleans, Oct. 31.—Governors and
other representatives of 'cotton-growing
states gathered here in convention to
day gave Indorsement to the Louisiana
plan of state-owned warehouses for
permanent protection to the cotton
planter against the low price of the
staple which is caused by marketing it
too rapidly. Georgia Is expected to fall
In line to this Idea. T. S. Felder, attor
ney general of that state, who Is attend
ing the conference as the personal rep
resentative of Governor Hoke Smith,
gave the plan his Indorsement and said
that he would use every effort to h&v«
Georgia enact similar plans for the pro.
tectlon of the farmers of the Empire
Stato of the South.
Charles S. Barrett, president of ths
National Farmers Co-operative union,
who Is also a Georgian, was present and
gave his Indorsement of the plan. He
said that the members of his organiza
tion were almost to a man prepared to
hold this year’s cotton, every bale of It,
and that they would be urged to do so.
The details of the Louisiana plan were
fully explained to the conference yes
terday by W. B. Thompson, president of
the New Orleans cotton exchange, and
tho representatives of at least-two of
the other Southern states emphatically
declared today that they would work
diligently to secure the adoption of tho
Louisiana plan In their states—South
Carolina apd Georgia.
Mr. Thompson explained In his ad
dress that by reason of tho fact that
receipts for cotton placed In these state-
owned warehouses will have the moral
backing of the stato government they
will be negotiable In all the money cen
ters of the world. Already, he said, he
had been assured that financiers of Eu
rope will as soon.as tho first of these
state-owned plants Is opened, send
money here to lend to the farmers, with
these receipts as collateral, at 4 per
cent. He even expressed the belief to
day that after the plan has been thor
oughly Inaugurated, European money
can be secured on these receipts for a
still lower rate of Interest.
At the banquet tendered here last
night to the delegates to the cotton
conference, Frank B. Hayne, the well
known "cotton bull" speculator and
member of the so-called "bull pool" of
1909, now under indictment In the Fed
eral courts of New York for alleged
violation of tho anti-trust laws, stirred
the Southern representatives when he
declared that he would gladly go to
Jail if he had !n any way aided the
enhancement of tho value of the great
staple crop of the South.
Mr. Hayne spoke with marked emo
tion and the applause which greeted
his remarks spoke plainly the feeling of
kind regard which those present held
for him.
‘Along with William P. Brown, of
New Orleans; Eugene Scales, of Texas,
and James A. Patten, of Chicago," said
Mr. Hayne, "I was indicted,by a Fed
eral grand jury In New York on the
grave charge of having unduly added
J200.000.000 to the value of cotton In
the South. It Is some compensation to
note that before an audience of this

charged does not bring upon me any
