son s petition for communication to The
executive council.
The governor s declaration came af
ter reading the reports received today
from six alienists who had been chosen
to examine the condemned man. The
report Of the alienists was practically
to the effect that Richeson is sane. The
governor S statement follows:
Executive clemency will not be ex-
tended in the case of Clarence V. t.
Richeson. The prisoner was sentenced
upon his own confession and without a
trial for crime which it appears i'm
possible that any normal man could
commit.

Accountable for Crime.

fTho evidence, however, while clear"
IL revealing these attacks, indicates
that his crime was not committed by
him during such an attack; therefore,
while there is some divergence of optn
ion among the aliouists as to whether
these attacks indicate actual insanity,
there is sufficient ground for the CON
clusiou that he Is accountable for his
crime and that the exercise of execu-
tive cleIneucy in this instance would
he contrary to the public good.
HThe affidavits and medical evil
depce az TO Richeson g unfortunate
beredity, his lapses Of consciousness,
and his attacks Of dehriunn are too
SERIOUS to include in this statement and
are not suited to publication.
With probably only three moro days
of life ahead Of him, Richeson was still
cheerful in the death coll at Charles
town today. He passed very rest
less night, but today was much more
comfortable.
Hc ate very hearty dinner this
noon, consisting of two chops, potatoes,
toast, strawberries and smoked cigar
afterward. During his dinner DR.. Nc
Laughlin, the prison physician, called
on him and declared that his condi-
ton was very much improved.
Richeson chatted at considerable
length this morning and again in the
afternoon with Rev. H. H. Stebbins,
chaplain of the prison He spent the
greater part of the afternoon reading
the bible and the religious books which
Chaplain Stebbins took to him.
The prisoner will not be given the
fateful news until tomorrow. The exc
cution will probably take place Mon.

Make Inflamatory Speeches.

When tho deputy sheriffs arrived fully
200 strikers were gathered about the en-
trance to the smeltcr grounds listening To
irnpassioned speeches from their leaders
exhorting them 10 violence. Led by Dep
uty Sheriff Steele the squad forced its
way through the mob and silenced the
speakers. Then. through Interpreters,
the officers declared that il the strikers
did not disperse and leave the grounds
within ten minutes they would open fire.
Tho seven deputies lined up with rifles pre-
sentcd ready to back up the order. When
the ten minutes had passed every striker
was on his way toward Murray.
The officers rode through the town and
abou. the smelter for half an hour, dis
persing groups of strikers wherever they
were to be found. At O'Clock this morn
Ing all was quiet ut the smelter. though
The Indications OF serious trouble TO come
are TO be seen on every hand.

Tankton Choral Union, Professor

tory conducting, with the Minnea-
polls Symphony Orchestra, Emil
Oberhotfer conducting, assisted by
able soloists, will give three grand
concerts, a choral program, a sym

program. This festival has come
to be an annual event in Yankton,
the result of a notable example of
public spirit the benefits of which
reach not only her own citizens
but the people of a large circle of
towns about, many of whom are
not slow to avail themselves of the
rare musical opportunities offered
on these occasions.
1t is not money-making
scheme. Last year citizens of
Yankton pledged the necessary
guarantee fund of $500, making
up the deficit of two or three hund

enterprise financial backing neces-
sary to bring forces together for
a brilliant festival season. This is
a sort of a civic pride and loyalty
worthy of emulation.
