Physicians Report.

DR.. Mclaughlin, the prison phys1-
clan who visited the chamber during
the forenoon, said Richeson is not
suffering from general collapse men
tally or physically.
His attack last night was really q
natural reaction" said the doctor. He
! had been buoyed up by the impress
! sion that the death sentence would
be committed to life mprisonmenta and
when he realized there was no hope,
he was overwhelmed. His sound sleep
from 1 a. m. to 1890 a. m has i'm
| proved his condition:
Richeson had learned yesterday that
he must go to the death chair as
penalty for killing pretty Avis Lin
nell. All day he bore himself fair
ly well, but as night fell, realization
! of the fate that awaits him seemed
t. tc impressing itsef stronger; then
someone heedlessly told the prisoner
'':,1 his father did not care to have
his body removed to Virginia, and the
blov fell. Richeson gave way to raw
ings that were relieved by moments
when he implored that his counsel OBJ
tain permission for his body to lie
beside his mothers
Mental pain came at intervals, and
far il to the night the torture contin-
ued, relieved finally early today by
the powerful opiates.
Events Provided Anguish.
It seemed as if the events of yes
terday shaped themselves to provide
final climax of anguish for the un-
fortunate man. First came the news
that Governor Foss would not admit
Of cOmmutation. There followed dis
cussion among Richeson, his counsel
and spiritual advisers about the eX-
ecutiOn. The prisoner begged both
Mr. Stebbins, the prison chaplain, and
Rev. Herbert S. Johnson, his CHOSEN
adviser, to walk to the electric chair
with him. Richeson also expressed
a wish that his COUNSEL Mr.. Morse,
be present during the last few minutes
an further exacted promise that
either one or the other of the tvs
ministers would remain constantly
with him until he died.
In the meantime Richeson did not
eat is dinner or supper, and when
the fit of grief and hysteria finally
smote him, he threw himself upon
his lot and moaned and shrieked. His
arms and shoulders twitched, his face
was drawn in agony and from time
to lime as his glance fell upon the
two guards set in death watch over
him, ne would scream out in horror
crying they're watching me! They re
watching me-"
Warden Called Physician.
Warden Bridges hurried to tAe
death house and sent for the prison
physician. That official was not at
home, and Dr.. Frederick l.. Lyons OF
Charlestown, was called When Dr.
Lyons arrived Richeson was still more
or Tess hysterical, but apparently un-
conscious. Dr.. Lyons administered
sedative and the prisoner went TO
sleep about ? o'clock, remaining in
deep sIumber until late hour.

sineers, Washington. The work of
the closing of the crevasse was re-
sum I'd shortly after the message was

ceipt of telegram from Col. G. McD.

pi river commission in ST. Louis, stat
ing that the resolution adopted by

the LaFourche levee board had not as
yet been approved by the cher of
the army engineers.
Many Messages Sent.
AS result of the suspension of op-
Grafton, many kilograms were sent to
Washington by those affected by the
break. Some of the messages were
directed to President Taft, pointing
out the terrible predicament in which
all those concerned in closing the big
gap had been placed. Nothing def
mite had come from Washington up
to an early hour this morning, ana
in the meantime the great work is at
standstill.
Capt. C. O.. Sheriff., chief of the
government engineers here, VINO was
given complete control of the under
taking, returned to the city late last
night, and went directly to his home,
refusing to have anything to say on
the subject. He would not even say
whether the work at Hymelia would
be continued.
