RIOE's SECOND WILL.
Gives Not Penny to Jones, but MIL
lions to Patrick.

New York, Oct. 10.-Thc strangest fea-
ture Of the strangest and most mysterious
case with which the police have dealt
for years was revealed when it was dis
covered that the bulk of William Marsh
ltice's millions was left, i'll the second
will, to his New York lawyer, Albert L.
Patrick.
Patrick is named as residuary legatee
in this odd instrument and is put in con-
troll of ninc-tenths of the great estate.
He is to spend this immense wealth,
says the will, to found some sort of an
indefinite charity in some unknown way.
Just how this great sum is to be laid
is made known to Patrick alone in writ
ten and oral instructions" that are not
in the will itself.
The second will cuts off Valet Jones
without cent.
1t gives $1,000 to w. o. Wethcrbee,
who accused Jones of planning a plot to
get control of the estate.
Patrick and Jones' lawyers charge
that the prosecution of their clients is
due to the fact that the old mans mill
lions were to be spent in this state in
stead of in Texas.
