independently of the reactionary ele-
ment which then controlled legislation

that on many important questions be-
tween the standpatters and progressiyes
he has voted with the faction led by Can
non, Payne, Dalzell and others, or has
failed to vote, and that in general he
has taken no aggressive position on leg

quest and assurances Of support that /

Given Use of Any Implement
WHICH COULD DO HIM HARM

Sentence Is Possibility That Petition
May Be Presented to Executive
Council This Afternoon.

Boston, May l5.-The presence OF
Clarence V. T. Richeson in the death
house at the Charlestown state prison
and the coming electrocution of two 9th
er prisoners within the next two weeks
led Warden Bridges to-day to order the
suspension of all visiting privileges in
the prison for the next three weeks.

TO be shown over the institution since
the removal Of Richeson there from the
Charles street jail late yesterday after
noon.

also called. The prisoner is not permit
ted to use knife or fork or any other

whether the petition of Richeson's coun-
sci for Communication OF sentence would
be referred to the executive council this
afternoon at its meeting.

days to an exhaustive and trying exam
ination by expert alienists, some Off
cials here declared that he would not
have the physical or mental strength,
being of highly nervous nature, to
undergo the final step in his career
calmly.
