Governor InterveneS
ny. Annotated Press


BOSTON, Jan. 9-Clarence V. T. Richie
son, formerly pastor Of the exclusive Inn
manuel Baptist church, Of Cambridge
bowed his head in superior court today
and confessed that he murdered Avis
Linner, music student. Immediately he
was sentenced to electrocution during the
week of May 10.
Rieheson's formal pleading to the first
degree murder charge followed his writ
ten confession of guilt, given out last
Saturday. by which he acknowledged he
sent cyanide of potassium to the pretty
music student, in the guise of drug de-
signed to relieve her of an embarrassing
physical condition.
The sentencing of the prisoner put his
case, should there be an attempt at APP
peal, up to the governor and executive
council, who might alter Richeson's rate
to life imprisonment.

was mot guilty"
Richeson made no statement. He was
in court for only about six minutes. His
face was pale, but he was perfectly COM

the simplest possible way, and when
asked If he had anything to say, replied:

written confession" ... ..
Richeson, heard the death sentence with

District Attorney Pelletier read the
minister's written confession and added

duty to move for sentence. Judge San
derson read the statutes bearing on the
case and asked the prisoner If he eral-
lied the gravity Of his action in pleading
guilty, If he had consulted counsel and
il he had acted voluntarily. To eacn
question Hicheson said: Eyes, sir.
