QUESTION AS
TO R|CHESON
ELECTRIC CHAIR ONLY SEN
TENCE FOR FIRST DEGREE
MURDER.
LAWYERS ARE STILL HOPEFUL
Efforts 10 Induce Prosecutor Pei

gree Plea.

Boston, Mass. Jan. 6-Rev Clar-

ID. the late pastor of the
manuel Baptist church, confessed
murderer of Avis Linnell and her
unborn babe. walked tonight in the
valley of the shadow OF death.
Confession of his guilt, made per-
haps, despite his contrary protesta-
lions. in the hope of saving his own
life, may prove futile. The death
chair may soon claim the slayer Of
the girl he wronged and slew.
Although no official announce
ment has been made, there is ground
for the belief that Richeson on Mon
day morning will be carried before
Judge Sanderson of the Superior
Criminal Court OF Suffolk county.
and viii change his plea for that OF
not guilty to that of guilty OF
murder IN the first degree"
Death quick death in the electric
chair Is the only sentence that
may possibly be imposed under such
a plea.
Then, unless Governor Foss and
the executive council intervene, tho
man in the cloth, who violated all
the laws OF OF the God he was con
nccrated to serve Will perish in the
chair In which the state exacts the
toll of the law OF Moses-an eye for
an eye-and life for life.
