Escalon, only a week ago the head quarters of general Orozco was final ly evacuated Monday afternoon by the rebel advance guard. The troops marched to San Antonio, a town about six miles east of the railroad line. where they are expected to swoop I down on the advancing federals after the main engagement begins at Rel lano, 11 miles north of Escalon. Though in the skirmishing of Sun day the. "federals were driven back, they persistently returned to their self-appointed task of rebuilding the burned bridges and removing the wreckage of dynamite laden cars heaped up in their path by the re treating rebels.

It is believed the fed erals will not attempt to use troop trains north of Escalon in the face ox the advantageous position of the rebel fighting line at Asunsolo. Should they attempt to go through the rebel line by rail, it is thought they will run the risk of being derailed and flanked on both sides. Federal Difficulties. If the federals detrain at Escalon using that station as a base, they -will be forced to haul their heavy artillery over a great stretch of sandy desert and face a rebel front extending over several miles which the defenders have occupied for many weeks and In which they are thoroughly entrenched and fortified. At Re llano, the main body of the rebel army under Gen. Salazar. sup ported by the heavy artillery of the rebels, is intrenched for a final stand. Two Rebel Leaders Killed. That both Cola Caesar Canales and Abelardo Amaya were killed la the fighting at Pedrlcena Is confirmed by official reports.

Los Angeles, CaL, Mar IL There was no session of the Darrow trial to day, owing to the Inability of the court oJQcials to secure service on all of the new special veniremen drawn yester day afternoon when the first special venire was exhausted. There is a probability that t-e Jjary thus far secured may be depleted by one when the trial is resumed tomor row. Paul Bitter, one of the first jurors selected, told judge Hutton yesterday that he was subject to violent head aches and that he had suffered greatly by the confinement The court an nounced that, if he felt no better when the trial was'resumed, he would be ex cused.. Illness also served to handicap the defence in keeping judge Cyrus McNutt from the court room. Judge McNutt was associated with Darrow as law expert in the McNamara defence. On account of his advanced age, it is feared t his illness will be serious. The special venire of ten yesterday failed to yield a single juror, although three peremptory challenges, two by the defence and one by the state, were used in exhausting the venire.

The last words as ! the remains are committed to the grav e will be said by Rev. Herbert a John son, of Boston, who acted as Richeson"s spiritual adviser after he was taken to the death house. One of the last re quests made by Richeson was that Mr. Johnson accompany the Dody to lr ginia. Mr. Johnson also will carry messages from the executed murderer to his relatives. Left Xo "Will. Richeson left no will, but in conver sation with Mr Johnson and -William I A.

His library Richeson left to clerical friends. i The execution of Richeson is said ' by witnesses to have been the most successful of any of the 14 that have been held at the state prison since the electric chair was frttopted.

Richeson had no supper, saying he desired none. After eating a little fruit he lighted a cigar and was sitting on the edge of his cot, apparently en joying his smoke, when deputy warden Allen entered his cell with the black suit of clothes to be worn during the execution. Richeson nodded calmly to the deputy, but said nothing. Attorney Morse, who visited Riche son in the afternoon, found his client calm and anxious to have the sentence of the law carried out tonight Mr. Morse later said: "Richeson has made up his mind to die and he does not" want any delay. This has been a long story and the last chapter is being written. 'Richeson is going to die without holding a grudge against anyone. He has scarcely ottered a barsh word and to nja personally and to those who come in coatact with him. he has again and again expressed his gratitude." Was Composed When Answering Question-. Richeson walked to the electric chair erect, eye straight ahead until he sat down. Ten he closed his eyes and kept them shut until the end. Seated in the chair he was asked questions by the Rev. Herbert -. John son, his spiritual adviser. Daring his answers, he said: "God will take care of my soul, and I forgive everybody." The last of the questions was: rAre you willing to die for Jesus's salceT The reply. In an even, well-modulated tone, was, simply: "I am willing to die." The current applied was 1900, eight amperes. One application was suffi cient It was turned on at 12:10.02 and the prisoner waa declared dead at 12:17. Laxt Hootj Spent In Song. When the officials and witnesses of the execution reached the death cham ber, after walking through the prison yard In a pelting rain, they heard sounding through the walls the strains of song. It was Richeson and his splr- Iltuai aovistrra, -i. "-. uu cuap laln Stebbins. Distinctly audible, as they dosed, were tne woras: "For I know whafer befall me, Jesns doeth all things well." Richeson left his cell, smiling, at 12:08. Before starting on the death march, he shook hands with William A. Morse, his counsel, who at the last moment had bee admitted as a wit ness of the execution, and, with the two .chaplains. Rev. M. J. Murphy, a Catholic priest being also present 'I Am Ready," He Said. Then he said: 'I'm ready," and walked on. He was dressed plainly, in a black cheviot suit, a frock coat, white vest white shirt turned down collar and a black bow tie. with gold studs in his shirt, and with low black shoes brightly shined. His head was shaved down the middle. The party then entered the chamber. The unfrocked minister appeared as calm as either of his companions. Poluoa Sent In a Letter. Among many letters addressed to Richeson, which were opened by war den Bridges, was one which was found to contain cyanide of potassium. It was mailed from station N, New York citv, Mav 19, at 3 p. m. It contained no clue to the sender, the powder being enclosed in a small fmh-pnvt.ir.-o marked "headache now. ders." Analysis of it showed that It ' was poison of the same nature used in i killing Ais Linnell. ' Story of Crime. j The crime for which Clarence Virgil Thompson Richeson. at the time of his I a'rest pastor of the Immanuel Church of Cambridge, was sentenced to die in the electric chair, was the confessed I murder of his former sweetheart, 19 ' years old Avis Linnell. of Hyannis. a ' pupil in the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.

As a consequence of this atrocious contest the country and the world have been treated to a series of spectacular vaude ville stunts tn politics without a parallel in the history of our country, and which I devoutly hope will not again be repeated." Senator Stone referred to senator LoFoIlette's participation In the cam paign and continued: "Mr. President, passing over the personal and party aspects of this mis erable squabble, Is It not truly a sad spectacle -we are witnessing. The-e world famed Republican leaders have been for months circling the country, abasing each other like pickpockets In language akin to the vernacular of a Sshmarkct or even something worse.

"I say last chapter," he added, "because I can not believe that after this storm of strife and these exposures the American electorate will consent to return the Republican party to power."
