irving to Prove
RicheSon Insane

BOSTON, April 2s.-Clarence v. T.
Richeson, under sentence to be electro
outed May 10. will be examined this
week by an alienist to be chosen from
three noted practitioners whose names
are under consideration.
John H.. Lee. of Lynchburg, Va. asso-
ciate counsel, telegraphs that he will
arrive In Boston today with a large
number Of affidavits tending to show
that Richeson has been a sufferer from
a form of hysteria ever since he passed
the adolescent period of life, and that
the hysteria increases as he grows
older.
Mr.. Lee believes that Richeson's
record. which he will be able to sup
port by undisputed testimony, as we'll
az Richeson's present condition, will
present a very strong case when the
appeal is made to have his sentence Of
death COMMITTED to Imprisonment for
life.
Richeson was given light exercise in
the Jail yard yesterday for the first
time In many weeks. He appeared to
enjoy II greatly. In consequence Of a
severe attack of laryngitis he scannot

VICTIM OF TITANIC
WEEDS IN HOSPITAL

NEW YORK, April 2S-For at least
one of the Titanic survivors the trag-
edy of the sea had the happy ending
of the old -fa shioned dramas yesterday
afternoon when Sarah Roth, II OF
the castaways. was welded to her
childhood lover. Daniel lies. at ST.
Vincent's Hospital. Mrs. Frederick
Vanderbilt. Mrs. Geraldyn Redmond,
Miss Elizabeth Marbury, Mrs. Thomas
Hughes Kelly andN Miss Theresa
O'Donohue. of the relief committee. saw
the ceremony.
Miss Emily BadTnan, another Titanic
survivor, was bridesmaid, and Thomas
Hughes Kelly WAS best man. Survivors
in invalid chairs, patients, doctors and
a number Of the sisters of st. Vincent's
focked into the rose-lined room where
Father Grogen, of the Church OF Our
Lady of the Rosary, performed the
ceremony.
Sarah and Daniel lies were born in
the shadow OF the foyer Of London,
within sound of Bowbells. A year ago
Daniel came to New York and found
work as clerk in a Sixth avenue de-
partment store. From mis- modest
wages he saved enough TO pay Sarah $
passage here. So Sarah got her, little
trousseau together. drew from the SAY
ings bank her dowry of a few pounds
and set out on the Titanic to become
Mrs. lies.
Her little fortune went down with
the vessel and she was among the
steerage passengers intrusted by Com
missioner Williams TO the relief com
mittee at st. Vincent's. She could not
be allowed to land under the immisra-
ton laws unless size was married.
Daniel was located and asked if he
wanted to marry Sarah. He replied
with emphasis that he did. Attire for
the wedding was provided by the relief
committee, which promises to have
an eye on the couples future vel
fare.

DID TITANIC
HIT A ROCK?

NEW YORK, April 28.-The sugges-
ton that the Titanic struck a ledge of
rock and not an iceberg is made in
the current Issue of the Nautical Ga
zette, a weekly shipping paper. The
possibility of such an accident is urged
because the ship struck in the same
longitude as the half-submerged Vir-
gin Rocks to the north, and possibly In
the same spot where the Naronlc foun-
dered in 1898.
The Titanic, it is suggested, being
the deepest ship Of the seas, might
have hit a rock thai other ships have
passed over safely. The Gazette avs
that at least a survey of the place
should be made by the United States
government. Under the head of What
Did She Striker the Gazette says:
"A strange possibility arises from the
coincidence in proximity or position of
the Titanic and the Naronic disasters.
The position where the Titanic met her
doom war latitude 41.46. longitude 5014.
This is south of the Grand Banks
but in just about the same longitude
as the dangerous seml-submerged VIZ
gin Rocks. to the north of the banks.
While the banks of Newfoundland are
supposed to be caused by the n
from the gulf of st. Lawrence and the
action of the gulf stream. h existence
Of the Virgin Rocks, and even the
proximity of the surface of the Georges
Shoals, nearer the coast, shows that
eve in this distant part of the Allan
tic there mas be submerged lodges or
rock never hitherto discovered"

WIRELESS GAMBLE
BEING CRITICISED

LONDON. April 2~3.-Special atten-
ton is being called here to the excess
sive speculation in Marconi shares.
Regarding these the following state
ment has been published:
1.-THE name Of Marconi has been on
everyone's tongue lately, another great
proof having been furnished OF the
humanitarian value OF the wireless
invention associated with that name,
but even before the disaster TO the
Titanic emphasized this value specu-
lative activity in Marconi shares both
here and in the United States had at
tracted attention. This activity, based
originally on important developments
in the wireless system that were in
contemplation, degenerated into a dan
gerous gamble.
However bright the future Of the
companies may be, it is more than dis
counted in the inflated prices TO which
securities in the English and American
companies have been carried by the
rush of uniformed buying.
SIN saying this there is no wish to
underrate the enormous commercial
Importance of companies that, happily,
stand in no need of proof hal they

nications Of the world, and no n alive
TO the potentialities of science will
deny that they may be only in their in
fancy.
But developments and dividends are
not always concurrent, A farmer can
not sell crops by merely planting seed.
The error of the wilder phases of the
Marconi speculation is that spectators
are counting on a harvest before the
plowman has made his burrows. None
the less, from every other point of
view the developments are full Of prom

WOMAN TRIES TO
WADE To DEATH

ATLANTIC CITY, April 23.-Heart-
broken over a quarrel with her hus-
band, Mrs. Agnes Bruce sought solaee
in a watery grave. but made the mis-
take of wading into the ocean gradu-
ally, a few feet at a time, through the
surf. Naturally the force of the waves
impeded her progress in the direction
of s~elf-inflicted death. and ultimately
she was rescued.
Eugene Wahl, a fireman attached to
engine company No. 4, ran to the foo
of the street, walked into the water
and pulled her out and sent her in
charge of her sister and a neighbor.
When her clothes were dry Mrs.
Bruce said she felt better and thought
she would go home. The surf war
quite cold for wading.
