FATHER AWAITS BODY
Alienists Find Traces of Heriditary
Insanity but Declare Minister Fully .
Realized Enormity of Crime at
Time it Was Committed.
Boston, May 17. Unaware of the
announcement that Governor Foes
will not interfere with the electro
cution of Rev. C. V. Richeson, the
slayer of Avis Llnnell, the condemned
pastor was In a high state of ap
prehension in his cell in Charlestown
prison. He is very nervous, walks
constantly and is smoking incessant
ly. 5
Chaplain Johnson, accompanied by
Deputy Warden Allen, later visited
Richeson and told the doomed man
that all hope for executive clemency,
had gone. He remained forty minutes
with Richeson, in the death cell.
The condemned minister's father
has arrived here and la making prep
arations to dispose of his body after '
electrocution. Richeson will be buried
at Lynchburg, Va. i
The -statement by Governor Foss.
shows alienists found that Richeson's
family was afflicted very generally
with Insanity and that the condemned
man himself is a neurotic.
He is also a somnambulist and a
neuresthenlc, and subject to hysterL
cal Insanity. The statement in part
follows:
"Executive clemency will pot be
extended in the case of Clarence V. T.
Richeson. The prisoner was sentenc
ed upon his own confession, and with
out a trial for a crime for which it
appears impossible that, any normal
man could commit.
"The evidence shows that Riche
son's family is heavily afflicted with
Insanity; that he himself is a neurotic
a somnambulist and a neuresthenlc;
that he is subject to excitement, emo
tional disturbances, marked loss of
memory, which two allienists had
diagnosed as hysterical Insanity, one
physician adding the alternative term
of hysterica delirium, and the major
ity opinion Indicating' that these at
tacks are marked by emotional dis
turbances of brief duration, with loss
of memory during the attack and for
a varying period following. ,"
"The evidence, however, while
clearly revealing these attacks,. Indi
cates that his crime was not commit
ted by him during such an attack,
therefore there is divergence of opin
ions as to whether the facts indicate
Insanity, and there is sufficient
ground for the conclusion that he is
accountable for his crime and that
the exercise of executive clemency in;
this instance would be contrary to the ,
public good."
SOCIALISTS WILL ELIMINATE

Indianapolis, May 17. The social-

HOSPITAL MAY BE
PROMISED WATER PLANT
building of the branch hospital the
commission promised the state board
to provide a mountain water supply
providing the people vote for tho
bond Issue with which to finance the
same. The bond Issue was voted but
thus far no new water system has
been provided."
The state board Is looking to the
Pendleton water works for its supply
of water for the Inmates of the asy
lum. A main connecting the new In.
stltutlon with the city system has al
ready been laid and Is now in use.
However the present water system
doesnot provide sufficient water for
the city and the branch hospital also,
so It will be necessary to secure a
larger supply from some source when
the hospital comes into use about
eight months hence.
