R|CHESON CALM
IN DEATH HOUSE
Prisoner of Avis Linnell Show:
No Fear OF Approach
ing Execution.
lis GUARDS ARE PUZZLED
At Loss to Understand What Is
Sustaining Former
Clergyman.

Boston, Mass, May 15-No inmate OF
Charlestown State Prison gave Worden
Bridges less trouble to-day than Clar-
ence V. T. Richeson. poisoner of Avis
Linnell. Since his removal yesterday
from the Charles street Jail TO the
death house in the prison. the former
clergyman. who is sentenced to die
next week. has preserved the calmcst
dcmcanor and submitted to discipline
with perfect composure.
In view of the fact that Richeson is
known to be of highly emotional and
nervous nature, his se!f-posse ssion is
a puzzle to his guards and the author
tiles. AS the reports of the nllenists
employed by Governor Foss nave not
yet been iiled. and his case has not
been submitted to the Executive Coun-
ell, those who are watching the pris-
oner believe that he may still hold
some hope of reprleve or communication
Again, he may have become resignd to
his fate and stands ready to die in
eXpiation of his crime. Which view Is
sustaining him is Il question no ono
seems able to answer.
Late to-day Richeson asked the prison
chaplain to get several books of re-
lisious nature for him. These the
chaplain procured from the prison
library. He declined TO give the titles
of the volumes The daily papers
were also supplied to the prisoner
The information given out from the
Governors office tonight was that the
reports OF the three alienists had not
been filed with the Governor and ,hat
he had not been able TO form any de-
cision as TO whether he would make a
recommendation to the council for
clemency. The council met TO- day, fol-
lowing It's usual custom. but the Rich
eson matter was not brought up

Panama, May 15.-Political leaders

In speeches to-day, Mr. Taft en-
phatically declared that 1t was not
time now for Mr.. Roosevelt to preach
the doctrine of mo personalities"
Having called me everything in tn

toned In polite society, Mr.. Roosevelt
now wishes to indulge in less emphatic
expressions" said Mr.. Taft at Bucyrus
"Well." he continued 'I don't want TO
handy epithats with him. but do
wish to meat his unfounded charges"
Although the main theme of his
talks to-day was his own administra-
t,on. its efforts for good legislation
ard the necessity for granting him n
square deal. he brought in the name
OF Mr.. Roosevelt time after time.
