Show GOES CALMLY TO HIS DEATH. Minister Who Murdered Sweetheart Electrocuted for His Crime. Boston. Clarence V. T. Richeson on Monday paid the penalty for the murder of Avis Linnell, the former clergyman, being electrocuted at 12:17 a. m. The man who gave the poison to poor Avis Linnell in order that he might be free to wed Miss Violet Ed-mands, Ed-mands, an heiress, bore himself calmly calm-ly under the influence of religious guidance during the last hours of his death watch. Before, however, he had wept and prayed that Governor Foss would relent and pleaded that he ought to be permitted to spend his life Sti prison, rather than die in the chair. |
