RESTLESS NIGHT
Collapse Comes TO Preacher Who

GIVES WAY UNDER STRAIN
Condemned Man Stricken Last Nioht
With an Attack Of HystericaI
Delirium.-Strong 0piate

Associated Press Special.


Boston, Mass, May 18-Follow-
ing his collapse of last night, Clar-
ence V. T. Richeson, the condemned
murderer of Avis Linnell, under the
influence of q powerful opiate which
had been administered to quiet him,
enjoyed the blessing of deep slum-
Der which came as needed relief for
his tortured mind, and as the morn
ing hours passed the prisoner who is
soon to be electrocuted slept quiet
ly in the death cell, apparently I'M
mindful of worldly troubles.
Richeson was stricken late last
night with an attack of hysterical
delirium while being visited by
Prison Chaplain Stebbins and his
counsel, William A. Morse.
Twitching and clawing, the con-
demned man rolled and tossed from
side to side on his bed, raving about
two men who, he cried out, were
watching and following him" The
attack was marked by spells of
grooming and means after which the
prisoner would lapse into intervals
of inconsistencies. Then he would
revive and continue his rawlings.
physician administered soda
tives which quieted the patient.
The rawlings of the condemne
man were attributed to the strai
upon him of the constant vigilanc
of the two guards of the deaf
| watch. The guards sit close in from
of the prisoners cell and do not al
| low their eyes to leave him a mo
ment, day or night. Richeson has
| reen subjected to the strain now for
over seventy-five hours.
Richeson's breakdown is believed
to have been further aggravated by
the news that his father had ex-
pressed the wish that his sons bod~
be not brought back to Virginia for
burial.
Throughout the day Richeson had
borne up we'll under the news that
all hope was gone. His only conf
ment of the governors action, which
vas allowed to become public, was
the remark:
"As I face execution my personal
thought is not for myself, but for
the sorrow of my family and
friends"
1t was soon before 10 o'clock yes
terday morning that Rieheson was
Informed of Governor Foss's retus7
al to intervene.
The verdict of the court is that
Clarence V. T. Richeson shall be
electrocuted within the week of
May 10, leaving the fixing of more
exact time to the discretion of the
warden. 1t is expected that the ex-
ecution will occur Tuesday, but no
official announcement has been
made to the public.

BALTIMORE. April 1s.-"The bodies
of the victims of the Titanic disaster

drowned in shallow water.
