SPECIAL MEETING OF
 BOARD OF PARDoNS
To Hear Petition for Communication of Death Sentence of Waterbury Man.

Hartford, Conn, April S-A special meeting of the board of pardons was called by Governor Baldwin today to meet on April 25 at the state prison in Wethersf1eld at noon, to hear a peti- ton for commutation of the sentence of death imposed upon Michael Rik- teraitis, for murder of his wife at Wa terbury last fall The date set by the court for Rikteradtis' hanging is May 8. The petition was filed some time ago and in 1t the claim was put forth that the condemned man was insane at the time he committed the murder and is still in bad mental state.
 It is Interesting to note that should the supreme court of errors fail to find error in the case of Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield for murder, the session of the board of pardons might afford op- portunity for a hearing on a petition to commute her sentence. The court will come in at Bridgeport for it's April sitting next week and expeeta- ton is that a decision will be handed down on Mrs Walzefield's case. Should error be found Mrs. Wakefield in or dinary course of events would be re- tried. An adverse decision would af- ford her counsel time in which to peti- tion the board for a hearing. The reg ular meeting of the board is in June.
