TO ATTACK FIRST WILL.
Attorney Patrick Says He Is Victim
of Conspiracy.


New York, Dec. 2.-The Press says:
Instead of being the head and front
Of a conspiracy 10 obtain possession of
the estate of William Marsh Rice, the
Texas millionaire, Albert T. Patrick,
the lawyer confined in the TOmbs on
the charge of forgery, has declared he
viii be able to prove that his arrest
and all the subsequent stories affecting
his character are part and parcel OF q
plot on the part of others 20 gain con-
troll of real estate and wealth.
Through his attorneys. Logan. Dem
ond & Hardy, Patrick says that when
the first viii of the old man is offered
for probate on Thursday. many start
ling facts Will be presented, and the
tables viii be turned on his accusers.
1T VIII be cOntended that the viii exc
cut.d in 1896 had attached to il two
signatures of witnesses, both written
by one hand.
1t viii not be charged that the sig
nature was a forgery, but that the sig
nature of one of the witnesses was,
and this will be the basis for the reyel-
atoms that are to follow There viii
be no attempt to oppose the probate of
the first VIII Oh the ground Of undue
influence, but on the ground Of forgery
and fraud. If Patricks lawyer can
prove that the viii made in 1896 is in
any way fraudulent it will clear the
way for them 10 prove the second VIII
TO be genuine. This they assert they
can co.
This is the first intimation that the
validity of the first viii was to be at
tackled, and Mr.. Hardy, who is the
chief of Patrick's advisers, says if
fraud is established il viii discredit
those who are lighting the viii exc
Cuted last June, which makes Patrick
the chief beneficiary. No matter which
VIII is declared to be genuine, how
ever the litigation viii be long.
