In HysteriCaI DeIrium Cries Out That Two Men
 Are Watching and Following Him"
AFFECTED BY CONSTANT PRESENCE OF GUARD
Received News of Governors Decision in His Case Calmly
 But Has Not Touched Food Snce-Wanted to be Buried Beside His Mother But Father Expressed Wish That Body Be Buried in Some Cemetery Around Boston.

Boston. May 17.-Clarence V. T. Bicheson was stricken with an attack of hysterical delirium in the death chamber of the Charlestewn state prison late tonight while being visited .by Prison Chaplain StebBins and his counsel. William A. Morse. Twitching and clawing. the condemned man rolled and tossed from side to side of his bed, all the time raving about two men who, he cried out, were watching and fol- lowing him. The attack was marked by spells of grooming and moaning, after which the prisoner would lapse into intervals of unconsCiousness. Then he would revive and continue his ray inss about the men who were watching him.
 Ravings Due to Espionage of Guards,
 The prison physician who was sum moned to attend the man could not be reached, and Dr. Frederick L. Lyons of CharlestoNn was called and re- sponded. He administered sedatives which tended to quiet the patient in 8 measure. The rawlings of the condemn cd man were attributed to the strain upon him of the constant vigilance of the two guards of the death watch. The guards sit close in front of the prisoners cell and do not allow their eyes to leave him for a moment through the night or day, There Is no weakening of the vigilance, for the guards are changed frequently, and Richeson has been subjected to the strain now for over 75 hours since he came to the prison.
 Wants to Be Buried Beside Mother.
 Richeson's breakdown tonight Is be- lieved to have been further aggravated by the news that his father had ex- pressed the wish that his son's body be not brought back to Virginia for burial, but be Inferred in some cemetery about Boston.
 lt is claimed that Richeson begged of his counsel, Mir. Morse, during the day that arrangements be made so that his body could lie beside that of hts mother in the Nerginia cemetery where the Richeson family has lot.
 Refuses to Eat.
 Richeson's weakened condition to- night is also believed to be due partly Co the fact that he has not eaten a mouthtul since early in the morning, He left his dinner untouched and re- fused food when il was offered him tonight Although Chaplain Stebbins had his lunch brought to him in the death house at 9.S0 o'clock. and ate 1t in the same room with the prisoner, Richeson could not be persuaded to touch his food
 Tt was the hardest hour of my life, declared Attorney Morse upon leaving the prison late tonight Tt is a very serious condition, and I am afraid may develop badly Further than that I would not want to pre- dict
