RICHESON' s LAST
HOPE NOW GONE
Slayer Of Avis Linnell Must Pay
Death Penalty Next
Week.
GOV. Foss DENIES PETITION

Boston, Mass, May 16--Clarence V. 7.
Richeson must die in the electric chair
at the Charlestown State prison next
week for the murder Of Avis Linnell, OF
Hyannis.
His last hope expired to-day when
Coy. Foss stated that he would not
refer Richeson's petition for commuta-
ton to the executive council The Gov
ernor's decision came after reading the
reports received to-day from the six
alienists who were chosen to examine
the condemned man.
The report of the alienists was prac-
ticaIly to the effect that Richeson is
sane. The Governors statement:
Executive clemency will not be ex-
tended in the case of Clarence v. T.
Richeson. The prisoner was sentenced
upon his confession and without trial for
a crime which 1t appears impossible that
any normal man could commit.
Insanity in Family.
THE evidence shows that Richeson's
family is heavily afiicted with insanity.
that he himself is neurotic, a somnam-
buIist, and q neurasthenic. that he is
subject TO extreme emotional distur-
Dances. marked by loss OF memory, which
Two auenlSIS nave olagnOseu as nysteI1cdi
insanity, one physician adding the alter
native term Of hysterical delirium. and
the majority opinion indicating that these
attacks are hysterical attacks marked by
extreme emotional disturbances Of brief
duration. with loss OF memory during the
attack and for a varying period following
It.
The evidence, however, while clearly
revealing these attacks indicates that his
crime was not committed by him during
such an attack; therefore, while there
is some divergence Of opinion among the
alienists as to whether these attacks In
dicate actual insanity. there Is sufficient
ground for the conclusion that he is ac-
countable for his crime, and that the ex-
ercise of executive clemency in this in
stance would be contrary to the public
good.
The affidavits and medical evidence as
to Richeson's unfavorable hereditary. his
lapses Of consciousness. and his attacks
of delirium are too voluminous TO In
clude in this statement and are not suited
