CONSTANT BIBLE READER
Convicted Clergyman Gratified that
Body Will Not Be Dissected.
Wjll Rest in Virginia.
Boston. Mats.. May 19. Clarence -V. T.
Richeson. slayer of Avis TJnnell. with
a. -calmness Induced by hours of reuclous
concentration, awaits the summons 10
death.
He may live to see the sun rise Tues
day, but he may be taken to the death
chamber In the State prison at any min
ute after mldnleht tonight. Cnder the
law, the hour set for an execution can
not be given out In advancer nut it was
Intimated at the prison tonight that the
prisoner will not be electrocuted until
daybreak Tuesday.
Richeson shows no symptoms tonight
of an approaching collapse. He sits on
the edge of his cot reading the Bible
and aside from an occasional fitful
twitching of his fingers and a. compres
sion of his lips, there is nothing In his
demeanor to indicate that he has not
Mastered his feelings and resolved to
ice his doom unfalteringly.
His cell Is-only a few paces from the
death chamber Despite all theprecau
tlons taken by the prison officials, it is
almost certain that he will hear the elec
tricians when they begin the task of
preparing the death chair to receive him.
What he will do when he hears these
men at work is the causo of consider
able anxiety to the prison officials.
"Wants to See Fathrr..
Richeson was gratified today to. learn
that his body will not be given to the
argeons for dissection. This informa
tion is believed to have buoyed him up
greatly as next to the desire to see his
aged father, a privilege that has been
denied him, he wishes most to be burled
beside his mother in the family plot In
Virginia.
The prisoner did not go to sleep until
2 o'clock this morning. He spent the
night talking with Rev Herbert S John
son, sis spiritual adviser, and th orison
chaplain; .Rev. Dr. Stebblns. The doomed
man persisieajn la uang 'or bla father
and others members of his family, apd
-was oosessea wun me idea or the cloud
that heMs leavlnr to hover over his kin.
Tears often came to his eyes, but be con
trolled his feelings admirably. At J
o clock he went to sleep under the in
fluence of opiates, and awoke this morn
ing apparently much refreshed. Rev. Mr.
Johnson and. Dr Stebblns were again
with him this morning, but this after
noon he was left -to meditate.
Brother and Slater Arrive.
The clergyman's sister. Miss Louise
Richeson, a nurse of Saranac Lake. N.
T. and a brother, Douglas Richeson. of
Chicago, arrived here to-night, and at a
late hour were In consultation with prison
officials. It is understood that they were
gl en assurance that none of the requests
of medical men for their brother's brain
and spinal cord will be granted. The
prisoner had been apprised of this de
cision earlier In the evening.
The officials were disinclined to grant
the prisoner an interview with his broth
er and sister to-night, and this fact
strengthened the belief that he -will not
be executed before Tuesda)

Solon Slated to Call Republican
National Conventions
, to Order.
ROOSEVELT MEN LIKELY
TO SALE SELECTION
If Senator Declines, Several Other
Well-known Republicans Will
Be Asked to Preside.
It Is authoritatively stated in Wash
ington that Senator Ellhu Root will be
the temporary chairman of the Repub
lican national convention Jn Chicago
unless he declines the offer. The sub
committee on arrangements of the Na
tional n Committee, of which Harry S.
New, of Indiana, Is chairman, agreed
on Senator Root at tf.e meeting In Chi
cago Saturday. It is understood that
the Senator now has the offer under ad
visement, unless be has made his reply
to tne auDcommiuee. senator noot. is
In New York. He la expected in Wash
ington for the meeting of the Senate
to-day.
It Is barely possible that the Roose
velt followers may make a fight on
Senator Root, but It Is, not regarded ai
probable by political leaders in Wash
ington. While Senator Root Is support
ing the 'President, he served In Presi
dent Roosevelt's Cabinet as Secretary
of State, and personally the two men
are friendly. CoL Roosevelt has been
quoted as saying that Senator Root was
the best equipped man for the public
service to be found In the United States.
Burrows Accepted In 1008.
Usually the selection made by the Na
tional Committee for temporary officers
Is accepted without question. Even In
1SK. when President Taft was nomi
nated and the rivalry between the can
didates was very sharp, no question
was raised when Senator Burrows of
Michigan was selected for temporary
chairman. The rule was departed from
In the Democratic convention of 1S96.
but the circumstances were extraordi
nary. The Democratic party was disrupted.
The free silver wing, led by W.
Bryan, controlled the convention In op
position to President Cleveland and his
followers The national committee, how
ever, was friendly to President Cleve
land and the gold wing of the party.
It reported the name of David B. Hill,
of New York, for temporary chairman.
When the report was read before the
convention a minority report was of
fered on behalf of the sliver men, who
roovea lo.saosiuuie me name op., join
pvXJ3a3iU1t.of-ATrglnla.-rotJUmrorry
chairman. TTie minority report waa
adopted by the contention and the na
tlonal committee was overruled.
The explanation for this action Via
given later by Mr Bryan In his no
table speech. In which he referred tc
the "crown of thorns and cross o!
goM," In the course of which he de
clared that personally Senator Hill was
agreeable to the Democrats and that
they would be only too happy to honor
him If the circumstances were different.
but that they did not care to take the
risk of putting him In a position where
his well-known parliamentary skill
could be used against them.
May Bloelc Selection.
It is possible that If Senator Root's
name goes before the convention, some
such motive may Impel the Roosevelt
followers to try to substitute another
name There Is another consideration
that may influence the course of the
Roosevelt men. Senator Root's name is
receiving frequent mention now as a
compromise candidate It Is generally
agreed here that he could command the
support of the New York delegation.
something that Associate Justice Hughes
could hard 1 j hope to do in the present
state of feeling among the members of
the Old Guard.
If CoL Roosevelt Is still disposed to
make Senator Root President, he may
find It easier to accomplish tbe feat at
Chicago by simply retiring from the raca
than resorting to the extreme and spec
tacular performance of crawling on his
hands and knees from the White House
to the CapltoL
If Senator Rot declines the chairman
ship, it is not unlikely that any one of
the following well-known Republicans
may be asked to preside, all of whom
were given more or less consideration
Senator Townsend of Michigan. Senator
Lodge ot Massachusetts. George A.
of" Kentucky, an Haor b of

Knight of California. Senator .Bradley
