Boston, May 1s-~There Is nothing they can print about me now that is any worse than what I have already heard and read calmly argued Clar- ence V. T. Richeson. with Sheriff Quinn in his cell at the Charles street jail today, while he besought the sher- If to allow him to read what the pa- pers were saying of his case.
 Pleads for Uncut Newspapers.
 Since the former Baptist minister of Cambridge received his sentence, early in January, for the murder of his sweetheart. Avis Linnell all news papers given him have had the news pertaining to the case cut out. The prisoners plea had it's force with the sheriff today, however and, anxious to gratify as much as possible every whim of the prisoner in his highly nervous state during the final hours before his execution, which is set for the week beginning May 19, Sheriff Quinn will, for the remainder of Riche- sons stay in the jail, allow him the papers uncut, unless they contain sensational or unusually trying news
 Another Session With Aliensts.
 That the alienists named by Gov ernor Foss to examine Richeson in- tend to make their investigation as complete and exhaustive as is possi- ble to expert scientists, was made ap- parent today. Although Richeson was subjected to an all day examination yesterday, the three state alienists again today visited the jail and for five and one-half hours probed into the prisoners mental and physical condition. They would not say what had transpired during the afternoon, but Dr. Stedman admitted that they might return tomorrow
 His Appetite Not as Good.
 That Richeson had not reached the limit of his endurance was apparent from the fact that he walked 'brislS,y back to his cell after the examination.
 'Richeson went into the examina- tion calmly and without any sort of braVado, blufing or shamming," said Sheriff Quinn tonight and when he came out he did not appear any diff ferent. I do not think that he has eaten quite as much during the past two days, however which may or may not be due to the unusual strain which he has been under"
 Expect He Will Collapse.
 The examination today makes to- tai of more than GO full hours of tests and questions to which the prisoner has been subjected by alienists for both the defense and the state durirg the past two weeks. In view of the fact that the strain is telling upon the alienists there is anxiety upon the part of the jail officials as to how long

 IN SENATE CHAMBER
Promotes Happiness, Health and Lon
 geVity, Says Senator Martin.

Washington, May 13.-The good old elixir known as applejack was eulo- gized in the senate today by Senator Martin of New Jersey, and Senator Nelson of Minnesota was moved to make a few remarks about whiskey straight during consideration of the agricultural bih
 You can always tell whether a man has taken whiskey straight or a whis- key blend by smelling his breath,' de- clared Mr. Nelson.
 He said he was opposed to determin- ing so fine a point by gross scientific standards. Senator Martin thought the main point was being lest sight of.
 What difference does it make" he said, If the whiskey Is good. Pray God, what does it matter if the de- licioUsness and the delirium flavor are there? Come to the glorious common wealth of New Jersey, where they brew rivers of an elixir known ss ap- plejack, whether colored or uncolored. It is rich in aroma, delirious as an in toxicant, promoting happiness, health and longevity. Why, Mir. President, after a couple of drinks of New Jersey applejack they would not be able to detect the colors in a rainbow. But, MT. President, dismiss this question, and on the adjournment I invite you to come to New Jersey and see and taste and test for yourself. Come!"
 The fun arose during debate on an amendment to the agricultural appro- priation bill recommending the pur- chase of a test to determine the color ing matter in whiskey. The amend ment WAS voted down.
 An amendment by Senator Crawford of South Dakota to appropriate s15,- 900 for buffalo preserve at Wind Cave was adopted and consideration of the bill will be concluded tomorrow.
