GOVERNOR ISSUES STATEMENT.

Boston, May 10.-The following
statement was made, tonight, by Dud-
ley Nj. Holman. secretary to Gov.
Foss.
Public interest in the Richeson
case demands that statement be
made of the facts as they exist at the
present time in order that there may
be no misunderstanding in the public
mind. The case is one of such unuter-
able horror that one is apt to be en-
tireiy swayed by a desire for the ear
rying out of the extreme penalty of
the law without further delay The
plea of insanity has been very much
overworked in the criminal courts

mind that a man who has money can
secure expert testimony regarding the

permit criminal to escape just pun.

I'm the case of Richeson. however,
the criminal confessed and on his own
confession he has been sentenced to
death. There was not jury trial and
no evidence was produced in regard
to his sanity at the time ne was called

by his confession Rieheson waived his
legal rights to any benefit that might
have accrued to him by a plea of in
sanity. But he comes now to the Gov
ernor. through his counsel. asks for
communication of his sentence on the
ground of insanity and strong testi-
moy on this point was produced at the
time the Governor gave his hearing.
The Governor realizes of course
that on his decision may rest the life
