Under his sentence he would naturally have been taken to the state prison in Charlestown before dawn today. In the action of Sheriff John Quinn in holding the prisoner in the Jail the at torneys for Rieheson see a hopeful sign. They believe that Governor Foss refrained from sending Rieheson ? plea to the council at its regular meet ing not because he had decided to al low the sentence of the court to be cast out. but because he bad received a hint of Dr. Briggs' opinion.
