PLEA OF INSANITY FOR REV, RICHESDN His Attorney Says Mental Troubles Are a Family Heritage.
(National News Association) BOSTON, Dec. 21. The Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, held for the killing of Avis Linnell, who mutilated himself terribly in his cell at the Charles street jail yesterday, with suicidal intent or with some other mysterious motive, was resting easily today and everything pointed to his recovery, the attending physicians stated. Although Richeson cut himself vitn a jagged piece of tin which produced lacerated wounds and intense pain, the prompt and efficient treatment, he received at the jail eliminated danger of blood poisoning. Doctors 'Who treated Richeson said he should be well in ten days or two weeks. His trial does not begin for 23 day yet, so if there are no complications, the trial will start on time. It has been made clear by the defense that the question of RIcheson's sanity will figure largely in his trial. Is in Infirmary. Richeson is still In the infirmary, where he will remain until he is able to walk, constantly watched by the prison guards, the men working in reJays. District Attorney Jos. Palletler says the trial set for Jan. 15 will go on s though nothing had happened. Hon. Wm, A. Morse, of Richeson' counsel declares the defendant wjij jprobably be in no fit condition to N--dergo the ordeal of his appearance in court on that day and the trial -will Ibave to be postponed. It is said a petition will be made to the court to that effect. . Mr. Morse said today: "I have suspected for a long time that Mr. Richeson was not right mentally and I was especially careful In calling the attention of my associate, John L. Lee of Lynchburg, Va., to this fact, at the mine time requesting him to get all the data obtainable in RIcheson's oldj glome relative to his family history. "Time and time again, as I have been alone with him in his cell at the Jail, there were strange mental conditions that were quite apparent to :me and after Mr. Lee brought me bis family history from Virginia I became convinced in my belief. "It is believed that 7 out of ten members of the Richeson family including both sexes, has shown signs of insanity and some cases have been so marked that it is a matter of public record that they are confined in insane asylums of the South.

RICHES AND STRENGTH. Men teem neither to understand their riches nor their strength. Of the former they believe greater things than they should, of the latter much leas. Self reliance and self denial will teach man to drink out of his own astern, and eat his own tweet bread, and to learn and labor truly to get his living, and carefully to expend the good things committed to his trust" Bacon.

Two Cabooses Destroyed by
Fire and Boston, Ind., Station Damaged.
(Palladium Special.) BOSTON, Ind . Dec. 21. Frank Austin, of Peru, Ind., brakeman on the C. & O. railroad, was painfully Injured at
this place this morning when an engine and caboose ran into an open switch, collided with a caboose in which Austin was standing. Another engirao was attached to the caboose
which was standing on the siding, but
only the cabooses were overturned.
Austin was pinned under the debris, crushing his foot and probably internally injuring him.
He was taken to the Reid Memorial hospital at Richmond immediately where an operation was performed upon him. He has a wife and two children. This afternoon he was taken to Peru. The cabooses were completely destroyed by fire that resulted from the collision, and the railroad station caught fire from the blazes, as the switch upon which the accident occurred was only a few feet from the station. However, with the assistance of a number of citizens, the fire at the building was extinguished with comparatively little damage. Just what caused the accident is not known. No one seems to know whether the switch had been left open by orders or whether it was carelessness upon the part of some of the employes. The caboose which crushed into the stationary caboose was pushed by the engine.

Study for several days has been a j forgotten art in the schools of the ;
festivities almost at hand. Reports from teachers in all parts of Richmond state the children could hardly be kept at work, as their sole mental occupation was planning for the visit of Santa Claus and the subsequent jollities. The "three r's" and other disturbers of infants' peace, were discarded offi
cially at noon today in the grade j schools, and in the early afternoon in j the high school. In all the lower ; grades children trooped back after the j dinner hour prepared for a variety of ; entertainments. At the Warner School a stereopticon display of Christmas ' pictures will be the feature of the day. ;
At the Vaile School some of the little students will present an original play. In most of the educational institutions, the whole school will unite for the occasion and entertainments of every description will be given. After today, the pupils will disperse, to enjoy a vacation until school resumes on the morning of January second.
HARRISON FRY WAS NOT VERY GALLANT Adelaide D'Vorak. the fancy roller skater and racer, was entirely too slow for Harrison Fry in their race at the coliseum on Wednesday evening. The result was anticipated, however, as Fry, a professional racer himself, is regarded as one of the fastest skaters in the country. It was a half mile event, but after the first few laps, during which the woman led, Fry had it comparatively easy. Her exhibition of fancy skating which preceded the race was met pleasing. It included the English, French and American versions of the barn dance, rope jumping, toe and heel spinning and other difficult 6tunts.

Because Ralph Husson, acting prosecuting attorney, neglected to ask state witnesses questions of a technical nature while prosecuting Oscar Skilllns, a negro, in police court this morning, charged with public intoxication. Mayor Zimmerman refused to render a verdict in the rase until he had gone over laws touching upon it. The attorney for the defense, P. J. Freeman, declared because Husson did not ask if the offense was committed in " Wayne county, state of Indiana." that the defendant could not be found guilty. Mayor Zimmerman declared that in his opinion there was no doubt but that Skillins was intoxicated because the defendant admitted that he had drank two glasses of liquor during the day. The mayor said, however, that before he would render his verdict h would find whether the technicality mentioned by the defense had any material bearing on the case.
