general belief grew that Richeson could
not escape the death chair. though the
governor issued this statement:
"Richeson was sent to Charlestown

any further investigation. My mind IL

Richeson was up at o'clock today
after his first night in the death cell
and dressed himself with care. but said
nothing about bcrakfast. At o'clock
an orderly asked what he would like foi
breakfast. Richeson, sitting with bowed
head, made no reply. The orderly
Richeson paid no attention to them.
Shortly after Q o'clock, the Rev. Her.
bert s. Johnson, of the Warren Avenue
Baptist Church, arrived with tie Rev
Mr.. Stehbins. prison chaplain.
The Rev. Mr.. Johnson remained witt

A disastrous fire was narrowly
averted by the local fire department
this morning, shortly before eight
o'clock, when fire was discovered In
the shaving room at Carriers mill. The
flames had evidently started from
