RICHESON
IS ALMOST
A MANIAC
Sleeping Today Under 4 Power
f,il Opiate
Lost His Nerve and Went to
Pieces Last Night
Refusal Of Father to Take the
Body Brought on Attack

Boston, May ia deep sleep under
the influence of opiates shut out a
world of agonies from the troubled
mind of Clarence v. T. Richeson. dur
ing the early part of today.
The fortitude OF the former clergy
man who awaits death by electrocu-
.tion next week for the murder Of Avis
Linnell, gave way last night. The
collapse came while the condemned
man was alternately beseeching his
counsel to have his body inferred be-
side that of his mother in Virginia
and Historically raving over the fanc-
led persecution of the two guards
forming the death watch.
Richeson knew definitely for the
first time yesterday that he must face
death by electrocution. Through the
day he bore himself with outward
calmness. Little by little the import
of the decision he had heard began to
impress itself on him.
Someone of those who entered the
death chamber impaired to the pris-
oner the fact that his father did not
care to have his body taken to Vir-
ginia for burial. Richeson at once
gave way to his emotions and implored
his counsel, William A. Morse, thai ar
rangements be made so that he might
lie beside his mother in the family
lot.
AS the day wore on, other incidents
occurred to disturb the condemned
man. The discussion between Richeson,
ed upon tha execution and the prisoner
begged with Stebbins, the prison chap
lain and Rev. Herbert s.. Johnson, his
chosen advisor to walk to the chair
with him.
Richeson also expressed the wish
that Morse should be present during
the last few minutes and further ex-
acted a promise either one or the other
Of the ministers remain constantly
with him until he died. In the mean
time Richeson did not eat dinner or
supper.
1t was nearly twelve hours after he
learned he must die next week that
Richeson threw himself on his cot and
moaned and shrieked. His arms and
shoulders twitched, his face was drawn
in agony and from time to time as his
glance fell on the two guards set in
the death watch over him he would
scream out in horror crying:
They are watching me, they are
watching me-"
Warden Bridges, who was notified
and who hurried to the death house,
sent for the prison physician. That
official was not home and DR.. Freder-
lex L. Lyons of Charleston was called.
When Lyons arrived Richeson was
still more or less hysterical, but ap-
parently unconscious. Lyons ad-
ministered sedative and the prisoner
went to sleep about 2 o'clock, remain
ng in deep slumber until a late hour.

while congress has a right to legislate
practically at viii with regard to tribal

a very different thing from the COM
