RICHESON NEEDS
SOME OPEN AIR
win be Clear Off Before He Can be

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
BOSTON, Feb. 10.-Because he fears
that Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson.
murderer of his sweetheart, Avis Lin
nell, will become hopelessly insane un-
less he takes radical measures, Sheriff
Quinn announced tonight that he has
determined to give the condemned
man outside exercise. The sheriff
said that he will take the minister into
the open for an hour twice a day, be-
ginning next week
Ever since his close confinement
Richeson has been in highly nerv-
Gus state The constant espionage
of the guard, placed over him because
the sheriff fears he might try to XIII
himself, apparently worries Richeson
as does the constantly increasing fear
that he must expiate his crime in the
grim electric chair
'I don't consider that Richeson' 8
condition is serious" said Quinn, but
he will need the most careful atten-
tion if he is to be kept alive and sane
until the time comes for him to be
transferred to states prison. He
broods continually over his condition
and the fear, that despite his plea of
guilty, he cannot escape the chair |
will try to give him outside exercise
which ought to benefit him.
