Lindsay testified that J Thomas Gettigan suggested chloroforming their employer Clinton Richardson during an afternoon nap. The witness spoke at the trial of Gettigan for the murder of his aunt Lizzie M. Cook with arsenic, before Judge Dubuque and a superior criminal court jury.

The witness recalled a grocery-store meeting, a Boston gun purchase, and payments for the deed as plans unfolded before Richardson’s death.
