Rev. Clarence V. Z. RichesOn Is
Condemned to Die
For the Murder of His Sweet
heart, Avis LinneII.

Boston, Jan. "a plea of guilty of
murder in the first degree was made
by Rev. Clarence v. T. Richeson in the
superior court today. and he was SER
electrocution some time during the
week of May 19. 1912
Richeson had pleaded not guilty
when arraigned after his indictment on
the charge of poisoning Avis Linnell
of Hyannis, Mass, his fiancee, but fol-
lowing a written confession made pub
lie Saturday last he today retracted
that plea and made formal plea of
guilty.
It is understood a petition may be
made to Governor Foss and the execu-
tive council of the state to commute
the death sentence to Imprisonment
for life.
Richeson made no statement His
face was pale but he was perfectly
composed. He answered formal ques-
tions propounded by Judge Sanderson
in the simplest way and when asked if
he had anything to say, replied:
''I have nothing further to say than
my written confession
Richeson heard the death sentence
with little apparent emotion. When
brought into court he walked with
slight assistance from the officers who
escorted him. He was not required to
enter the prisoners cage, but remained
standing.
District Attorney Pelletier read the
minister's Wr1tL6u cOilIeSSlOH anu dou
ed that the government had sufficient
evidence to have convinced a jury that
Rfcheson was guilty of murder in the
first degree. He then said it became
his solemn duty to move for sentence
Judge Sanderson read the statutes
bearing on the case and asked the
prisoner if he realized the gravity Of
his action in pleading guilty, If he had
consulted counsel and If he had acted
voluntarily. To each question Richeson
said '"Yes, sir
The court gave the prisoner every op-
portunity to realize what his action
meant and to make any statement, but
the prisoner expressed no desire to offer
any further explanation of his decision.
The court then pronounced sentence.
Richeson Immediately was taken
back to the city Jail.

ReSt0re GrayHair
TO Natural Color
BY Common Garden Sage a Simple
Remedy for Dandruii, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea if using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers had dark,
glossy hair at seventy-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are fifty.
Our grandmothers kept their hair soft
and glossy with a Sage Tea which
also restored the natural color.
One objection TO using such a pre-
paration was the trouble of making
it This objection has been overcome
by the Wyeth Chemical Company, OF
New York, who has placed on the
market a superior preparation OF
Sage, combined with Sulphur and
other valuable remedies for dandruff
itching scalp, and thin, weak, falling
hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than any
thing else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in a
few days; and don't be tormented
with dandruff, itching scalp and loose
falling hairs. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy will quickly cor
rect these troubles, and give color
strength and beauty to your hair.
