TO DIE
FOR KILLING GIRL
Foss WithhOldS CIemency From For
mer Preacher-AccOuntabIe for
His Deed.

Boston, Mass, May 16.-Clarence V
T. Richesons last hope of escaping
the death chair next week for the
murder of Avis Linnell, of Hyannis
expired tonight when Gov. Foss an
nounced that he would not refer
Richeson's petition for communication
of sentence to the executive council
The statement from the governor
followed closely the filing Of the re-
ports to the special insanity commits
sion which declared the condemned
man sane, although subject to fits of
hysterical insanity. The commission
found that Richeson was sane at the
time of the murder and that he is
sane at present.
In the death chamber at Charles
town the prisoner has borne himself
calmly since he was transferred from
the Charles street jail Tuesday. 1t
was apparent that he still hoped that
clemency would be extended to him,
and it was believed today this alone
was keeping up his spirits.
Is NeurOtic.
The statement issued by Gov. Foss
shows that the alienists found that
Richeson's family was afflicted very
generally with insanity and that the
condemned man himself is neurotic,
a somnambulist, and a neurasthenic
and subject to hysterical insanity. The
statement follows:
Executive clemency will not be ex-
tended in the case Of Clarence V. T.
Richeson. The prisoner was sentenced
upon his own confession for crime
which it appears impossible that any
normal man could commit
after his confession and sentence
a plea of insanity was set up by his
counsel and strongly supported by af-
fdavits extending over his life. The
character of these affidavits left no
other course for the governor than to
submit these and the prisoner himself
to an examination by our leading
alienists. III order to protect the COM
monwealth from the charges that the
man was actually insane when the
deed was committed as we'll as at the
present time.
OF Emotional Nature,

insanity; that he himself is a neuro-

nic; that he is subject 10 extreme emo
tional disturbances, marked by loss of
memory, which two alienists have
diagnosed as hysterical insanity, one
physician adding the alternative as
hysterical delirium and the majority
opinion indicat ting that the attacks are
hysterical attacks marked by emo
tionaI disturbances of brief duration,
with loss of memory during the attack
and for varying period following it..
"The evidence, however, while
clearly revealing these attacks, indi-
Gates that his crime was not commit
ted by him during such an attack.
Accountable for Crime.
Therefore, while there is some di-
vergency of opinion among the alien
lists as to whether these attacks in
dicate actual insanity, there is stiff
cient ground for the conclusion that
he is accountable for his crime and
that the exercise of executive clem-
ency in this instance would be con-
trary to the public good.
"The afidavits and medica? advices
as to Richeson's unfavorable hered:ty,
his lapses of consciousness and mis-
attacks of delirium are too yolumin-

are not suited for publication.

DRAWN HERE BY THE TRAIN Northern Factory Manager Drawn to Arkansas. Gets Interested. Buys
 Solid Train Load of Product.

It was the pleasure of the AR GUS man on Sunday morning last to meet the manager of one of the largest paper mills in the north, "who came to Arkansas on a visit and looking around" trip.
 The concern is the oldest and one of the largest in America making all kinds of strawboard boxes. papers, and products. They have been and are yet using wheat straw for the manu- facture of their products but the enormous increase of their out put calls for more straw than is obtainable from the American wheat fields and the visit of their manager to the Arkansas rice belt was in the way of a business scouting expedition, to ascertain all possible information about rice straw, its possible, practical use in the manufacture of straw paper, etc.
 As an evidence of the real in- terest and favorable impression made upon this northern manu- facturer, it is worthy of note that he bought TWENTY-FIVE SOLID CAR LOADS of baled rice straw while at Stuttgart on

objects of charity has been com mented on by nearly every cltl- zen. Out of these comments a public meeting was called a few weeks ago and the general pub lie invited. This meeting was attended by a representative citl- zenship there were protestants, Jews, Catholics. etc. Out of the meeting a permanent organlza' tion was formed to be known as "The Brinkley United Charity Association" The membership fee, fifty cents, and the monthly dues, twenty-five cents, were made quite low in order that the membership would not be limited. It is proposed that all members will refer any and all application for help to this organization in- stead of contributing directly as heretofore.
 It is hardly necessary to say anything in favor of this busi- ness-like way of meeting the un- usual calls that are made on our people. It is not for any particu- lar class, but is for Jew. gentle. Catholic, protestant, saint or sinner it is for suffering hu- manity.

Anon: the Chrfches. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Sunday was one of the best d,ys of the year. A fine attend ance atSunday School. Agreet- ing Y as real from MT. J. Ross Chambers, a former member of the school and a rising vote of thanks and appreciation extend ed him.
 A committee composed of Messrs. Edw. K. Temple, C. F.. Greenlee and G. I. Allen, was appointed to arrange for the an- nual picnic. They will have something to report next Sunday morning.
 It was decided to observe Ci.il-
 r.n's Day lin June.
 The cburc,, services o1 Sunday morning were possibly the most impressive and enjoyable ever held in the pres ant church build ing. Pastor Temples sermon was addressed to parents on theil duties in rearing children. At the close of his sermon three parents of the congregation came forward with five bright faced children for baptism sure a beautiful and impressive con- clusion to the service. The singing by the Boy Choir at the Sunday night service was fine. The sermon was unusually clear and forciful and at the con- clusion there was one addition to the church.
