RICHESON
INDICTED
ON 0 COUNTS
THE BOSTON CLERGYMAN LOS
ES BEFORE GRAND JURY.
IT MADE A BLANKET FINDING
Was Pale and Emanciated When
Brought Into Court to Hear Result
—The State’s Counsel Can Intro
duce AU Sorts of Testimony.
Boston, Mass., Nov. I—Rev. Clar
ence V. T. Richeson, pastor of the Im
manuel Baptist church Cambridge, was
indicted on five counts charging mur
der in the first degree by the Suffolk
county grand jury late yesterday af
ternoon for the alleged poisoning of
his former sweetheart, Miss Avia AV.
Linnell, of Hyannis, on October 14.
The grand jury reported their find
ing to Judge George A. Sanderson in
the superior criminal court, after
hearing more than thirty witnesses
during four days.
Tt is understood that the jurors
were ’unanimous in adopting the in
dictment.
By the returning of the true bill
the necessity of holding a hearing in
the municipal court is obviated. In
connection with this latter proceeding
Rev. |Mr. Richeson appeared in the
lowto (court today, but the case was
continued formally without action, and
the clergyman was taken back to jail
immediately. "By a coincidence yes
terday had been "fixed for the mar
riage of Mr. Richeson and Miss Vio
let Edmands, of Brookline.
Tlie minister, as he stood in the
dock this morning, looked somewhat
haggard and pale. Despite she fact
that he "wore the same ministerial
garb in which lie appeared before the
lower court, he was scarcely recogniz
ed by those in the court room. His
clothes hung loosely about him as if
he had lost weight. But the raven
black hair was combed in the same
neat way which assisted in giving Mr.
Richeson the distinguished air every
where remarked prior to his arrest.
The indictment which is said to be
almost unique in the annals of Mas
sachusetts homicides in which poison
has figured, is of she so-called “blan
ket type, the five indictments being
so worded as to permit the introduc
ion of evidence by the government
as to any one of the several methods
by which she poison may have been
conveyed to the dead girl.
As worded, the indictment indi
cates that the government as yet is
without knowledge of what means
were employed to hand the poison to
Miss Linnell and is nee.rtain also as
to the exact form in which the poison
was taken.
District Attorney Pelleffo’’. who
had irected the presentation <■* evi
dence. said that he believed the "••’.’id
jury was fully warranted in finding
an indictment.
Attorney Phillip R. Dunbar, counsel
for the defense, declined to comment
on the grand jury action.
The debate of Mr. P’ebeson’s trial
is still tentatively set for early in
January, but.neither the district at
torney nor Attorney Dunbar would
say onight whether any agreement had
been finally reached in the matter. If
was reported this evening that Attor
ney John L. Lee. of Lynchburg, Ya.,
a prominent criminal lawyer in the
son th. was on his way here to confer
with attorneys for the defense in con
nection with an offer of a retainer.

HOW AND WHEN A NIMROD MAY HUNT—A CAREFUL READ
ING MAY SAVE A FINE AND PERHAPS A PERSONAL DIFFI
CULTY-RABBITS AND ’POS SUMS TO BE SACRIFICED.
The Argus has been requested by
several Whitfield county deputy game
wardens to print the game law? as
passed by the last legislature and now
in effect.
We regret we cannot print all of
the provisions but herewith give the
essential ones and the ones most likely
to cause trouble if violated.
1. A person can hunt on his own
land without a license.
2. He can hunt in his own militia
district without a license, provided
be has the consent of the owners of
the land upon which he is hunting.
3. A county license will cost him
SI.OO.
4. A state license will cost him
$3.00.
5. A non-residept may obtain a
state license by the payment of sls.
6. No person can hunt or fish
upon the lands of another, with or
without a license, without first having
obtained permission from the land
owner.
7. Tenants and their families
may by permission of the land owner
be permitted to hunt and fish on the
lands leased or rented by them with
out, a license.
8. All license terminate she first
day of February following the date of
its issuance.
9. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANY

GIRL MARRIED
TODAY
MISS RUTH KIRK BECOMES
MRS. JACK HALE DOWN IN
ANNISTON AT THE HOME OF
AN AUNT.
Miss Ruth Kirk and Mr. Jack Hale
| were married this morning.
> That brief statement will be an
agreeable surprise to the many friends
and relatives of the contracting par
ties.
The mariage oecurd this forenoon
at the home of the brides’ aunt, Mrs.
Cicero Roberts, in Anniston Alabama
where the bride went a few days ago
ostensibly to pay nothing other than
a visit.
As Miss Ruth Kirk, Mrs Hale, was
most favorable known and beloved by
a host of intimate friends. She was
one of the pretties young girls of Dal
ton and was generally admired by
even her casual aequaintences. She
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Kirk and a granddaughter of Captain j
A. P. Roberts. Mr. Hale came here a
little over a year ago and was asso
ciated with his father in business and
when they closed up the business he
was elected to a superintendency of .
one of the city utility plants. They
left this morning for New Orleans and I
after a trip down that way will go
to Murphy N. C., where they will
make their future home.

10. It is unlawful at any time to
scatter upon the ground, whether it
be the owner of the land or not, any
grain, wheat or corn or other bait for
the purpose of drawing to the lands
game birds and doves.
11. It is unlawful for any person
to kill any doves or game birds at or
near any baited field.
12. The open season.for partridge;.
doves, wild turkeys is from December
Ist to March 1; snipe, December Ist
to May Ist; deer, fox, squirrels and
grey squirrels, October Ist to Janu
ary Ist.
From the foregoing itwill be seeit
that the new game law is drastic and
far-reaching in its effect. We have
not attempted to set forth all of he
provisions of the law. It would b
impossible to do that, but the forego
ing are answers to the questions in
regard to the law that have been re
ceived at the Argus office.
Let every nimrod and land own r
( in the county cut this out and pre
' serve it and it may save some fines an
probably a personal difficulty. It is
i hoped that the laws will be kept rigid
| ly and inviolate so that in a few years
we will have plenty of game for all
i local consumption. It will be noticed
i that Br’er Rabbit and Br’er ’Possum'
are not protected and their lives will
'no doubt pay the sacrifice of the

because I gr«w some.”
