RICHESON MAKES
 4 CONFESSION
Deeply Penitent' Says Clergy man for Killing Avis LinnelI.
FREELY ADMITS HIS GUILT
Climax Reached in What Has Probab- Iy Been the Most Sensational Murder Case Ever Known
 In Massachusetts.

Boston-The Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson confessed himself guilty of the murder by poison of Avis Linnen. He wrote out the confession ill his cell in. the Charles Street Jail and it was made public by his lawyers. It is a free acknowledgement of his guilt of one of the most infamous secret crimes of a century, but at the same time Pharisaical document in which is skillfully interpolated a begging plea for his life.
 Richeson asks for an opportunity to make his peace with God. But first, If his life is to be spared, he must square himself with the law of the State of Massachusetts, which makes the crime of murder by poison pun ishable only by death.
 The typewriter statement read as follows:
 RICHESON'S CONFESSION.
 Boston, January 3, 1912. John L. Lee, Esq. William A. Morse, Esq, and Philip R. Dunbar, Esq.
 "GENTLEMEN: Deeply penitent for my sin, and earnestly desiring as far as in my power lies to make atone ment l hereby confess that l am guilty f the offence of which l stand indicted. l am moved to this course by no inducement of settlement or leniency.
 "Heinous as is my crime, God has not wholly abandoned me, and my conscience ana manhood, however de prayed and blighted, will not admit of my still further wronging by pub lie trial her whose pure life 1 have destroyed.
 Under the lashings of remorse I have suffered and am suffering the tortures of the damned In this 1 find measure of comfort. In my mental anguish I recognize that there is still, by the mercy of the Master, some remnant of the divine spark of goodness still lingering with me. l could wish to live only because within some prison walls I might in some small measure redeem my sinful past, help some other despairing soul, and at last find favor with my God
 "You are instructed to deliver this to the District Attorney or 10 the Judge of the court.
 Sincerely yours,
 "CLARENCE V. T. RICHESON."
 The plea of guilty" was to the charge of murder in the first degree, and the Judge had no alternative but to sentence the prisoner to death in the electric chair.
 Richeson's hope. therefore, to Tive within some prison walls" where 'T might in some small meas ure redeem my sinful past, help some other despairing soul, and at last find favor with my God" rests upon the chance of clemency by the Governor and Executive Council, who are em- powered, after the death sentence IS passed, to commute it to life imprls- tonment.
