Richeson Sane When
He Killed Girl,
Is Sane Now and Governor Foss
Says He Must Die.
Boston, Mass., May 16-Clarence
V. T. Richeson's last hope of: escap
ing the death chair next week for
the murder of Avis Linnell, of Hy
annis, expired tonight wiien Cover
nor.Foss announced ‘that he would
not refer Richeson’s petition for com
mutation of sentence to the execu
tive council. e i
l The statement from the governor
followed closely the filing of the re
ports of the special insanity com
mission, which declared the con
demned sane, although subject to
fits of hysterical insanity.
The commission found that Rich
eson was sane at the time of the
murder, and that he is sane at
present.
In the death chamber at Charles
town the prisoner has borne himself
calmly since he was transferred
from the Charles street jail Tuesday.
flt was apparent that he still hoped
‘that clemency would be extended
to him, and -it was believed today
this alone was keeping up his spirits.
- The statement issued by Governor
Foss'shows that 'fhé " alienist found
that Rich¢son’s family wag afflicted
very, generally .with insapity, and
that the condemned man himself is
a neurotic, a somnambulist and a
neurasthenic and subject to hyster--
ical insanity. ]
