Boston, May 17.—Clarence V. T Richeson was stricken with an attack | of hysterical delirium in the death chamber of the Charlestown state prison late tonight while being visited by Prison Chaplain Stebbins and his counsel, William A. Morse. Twitching and clawing, the condemned man rolled and tossed from side to side of his bed, all the time raving about two men who, he cried out, were “watching and fol- Jowing him.” The attack was marked by spells of groaning and moaning, after which the prisoner would lapse | into intervals of unconsciousness, Then he would revive and continue his rav- ings about the men whe were watching bim. Ravings Due to Espionage of Guards. The prison physician who was sum- moned to attend the man could not be reac and Dr. Frederick 1. Lyens of Charlesiown was called and re- sponded.

The ravings of the condemn- ed man were attributed to the strain upon him of the constant vigilance of the two guards of the death watch. The guards sit close in front of the prisoner's cell and do not allow their eyes to leave him for moment through the night or day.
