Boston, Mass., May 21.
T. Rtcheson was electorciitecDat 12:1
this morning.
The current was turned on at
12:10:02 and the prisoner was declar-
ed dead at 12:17.
The former Baptist clergyman, who
confessed to poisoning Avis Linneli of
Hyannis, his sweetheart, was outward-
ly calm when lie entered the death
chamber, and he maintained his com-
posure while the straps and electrodes
were being adjusted as he sat in the
electric chair.
Richeson walked to the chair erect,
eyes straight ahead, until he sat down.
Then he closed his eyes and kept them
shut until t'tie end.
The current applied was 1,900 volts,
8 ampere. One application was suf-
ficient.
Richeson left his eeli smiling at 12:08.
Before starting on the death march he
shook hands with William A. Morse
his counsel, who at the last moment
had 'been admitted as a witness to the
execution, and the two chaplains, Rev.
W. J. Murphy the Catholic prison chap-
lain being present also.
Then he said "I’m ready” and walk-
ed on.
He was dressed plainly in a black
cheviot suit, a frock coat white vest
white shirt turned down collar and a
black bow tie, with <g,old studs in his
shirt front, and with low black shoes,
brightly shined. His head was shaved
down the middle.
The jvarty then entered the chamber.
Richeson accompanied by the clergy-
men, followed soon after, the unfrock-
ed minister appearing as calm us
either of his companions.
Four prison guards picked up the
straps daugling like entaeies from the
chair of death and quickly slipped
them into place through their buckles
There was a quiver in every man’s
hand and even the electrician twice
placed the face strati over the doomed
man’s face before he could udjiiHt it
satisfactorily.
Throughout the entire time the for-
mer clergyman was talking, bravely
earnestly, with full, steady voice as he
■gave answer after answer to questions
propounded to him by Mr Johnson.
Among many letters addressed to
Richeson. which were opened by War-
den Bridges today, was one which was
found to contain cvanlde of iwnasslum
It was mailed from Stutlon N„ New
York City on May 19, at 3 p m. It
contained no clew of the sender, the
powder being Inclosed in a small sub-
envelop marked ’'headache i>owd<n> "
An analysis developed tn.it it wus
poison of the same nature as that
which killed Avis IJnnell Richeson
was entirely innocent of It having been
sent, Attorney Morse declared

fore these witnesses as your Saviour?"

came the answer firmly.
"Does t’lirist give you the strength

"Christ gives me the strength I
need.”
