Only Hope For Confessed
Murderer Now Is Execu-
tive Clemency
ENTERED PLEA OF GUILTY
WHEN BROUGHT INTO COURT
Execution by Electrocution Fixed by
tho Court During the Week of May
~, l8l2-Was Cool and Collected
During Time He Was In Court.

Boston. Jan. "a plea Of guilty
of murder i'm the first degree was
made by Rev Clarence V. T. Richie
son in the superior court today. and
he was sentenced by Judge Sanderson
to death by electrocution some time
during the week of May 10. 1912.
Richeson had pleaded not guilty
when arraigned after his indictment
on the charge of poisoning his former
sweetheart, Avis Linnel of Hyannis,
Mass, but following his written con-
fession made public Saturday, he to-
day retracted that plea.
1t is understood petition may be
made to Governor Foss and the exec
utive council of the state to commute
the death sentence to Imprisonment
for life.
Richeson made no statement. He
was In court only six minutes. His
face was pale, but he was perfectly
composed. He answered the formal
questions propounded by the judge in
the simplest possible way and when
asked If he had anything to say, re-
piled: I've nothing further to say
than my written confession"
Richeson heard his death sentence
with little apparent emotion. When
brought into court he walked with
slight assistance fro mthe officers who
