I ‘‘Shock of My Being Sent to
the Chair Will Kill My
Father,” He Says.
BOSTON. MASS.. May 16.—The fate
of Rev. clarence V, T. Richeson rests
today upon she report of Alienists Sted-
■ man, Forest and Tuttle as to the pris
! oner’s sanity, so far as Governor Foss
; is concerned.
"That is the one thing for which 1
;am waiting." said the governor. "It
j will not take me more than one moment
' to decide what my action shall be, once
I have that report."
Whether this report will be made to-
I day or tomorro’w is not known. The
alienists themselves refuse absolutely
to give any hint.
Richeson still belives he will be given
a chance to work out what has become
his ambition in life—to convert tile con
victs in the prison by living a right
life among them and by the example of
his own fate.
Richeson’s horror of the electric chair
| was described by Sheriff Quinn today
i in this wise:
I "Richeson asked me while at the
i"harles street jail, if there wa no wa?
I in which he could atone for his crime
‘ without paying the death penalty.
I “He told me of his great dread of
being execute.d. 'Such a disgraceful
I death will be the means of blasting mv
; family history.' he sb id. 'As a man of
i the South, my heart aches at the
j thought of such a. stain being placed
upon the name of my parents. If lam
sent to the chair. 1 feel that the shock
will kill my father.'"
Richeson, in the shadow of the elec
tric chair, maintained an air of stoicism
today that was surprising to his at
tendants. He seemed resigned and
even cheerful.
