ACCUSED OF FORGERY
EXAMINATION OF LAWYER PATRICK
AND VALET JONES.
Testimony of a Bank Clerk Who Re-
fused to Honor n Check After
Millionaire Rice's Death.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Albert T. Patrick
and Charles f. Jones. the former counsel
and the latter valet for the late William
M. Rice, millionaire, appeared before Police
Magistrate Crane to-day. charged with
completely in forging the name of William
M. Rice TO a check for SIS, 600 drawn in
favor of Patrick on the banking house Of
S. +. Swenson & Sons. Assistant District
Attorney Osborne represented the prose-
cution. while Frederick b. House and his
assistants represented the accused. Pres
ent in the courtroom n interested in the
case were Capt. John j. Baker, Rice's
lawyer from Texas, who claims he repre-
sents all the heirs; Walter o. Wetherbee,
manager of Swenson & Sons, and David
N. Carvelho and William ]. Kinsley, hand
writing experts.
Patrick gave his age as thirty-four years,
said he was born in Texas and that he was
a lawyer by profession. Patrick and Jones
both pleaded not guilty. Patrick's bearing
in court was calm and confident.
John w. Wallace, a clerk i'm Swenson e
Sons bank, testified regarding the presen-
tation of the check in question for certifi-
cation. 1t was brought into the bank Sept.
"a by David L. Short and was indorsed
ALBERT 7. Patrick" Short was told there
was an irregularity in the name on the
face of the check, and he went away re-
turning soon afterward with a new check
Endorsed albert T.. Patrick" Witness
kept the first check presented, but later re-
turned it to Mr.. Short. Wallace said he
~telephoned to Rice's house in the mean
time and Jones answered that it was
his (Joness) mistake; that the drafts
were all right and should be
paid. Wallace telephoned to Jones
that Mr. Swenson must talk with Rice
about the draft. Jones protested that Rice
could not come. as he could not hear we'll.
Ten minutes later Finley, another bank
empioye, reported TO Mr.. SwensOn that he
had just been told over the telephone that
Rice was dead; that his death occurred
the evening before at 8 o'clock. Mr.. SVEN
son himself went TO the telephone. and the
witness returned the check to Short with
out paying out the money it called for.
Later in the day Patrick called at the
window of the bank and asked for Mr..
Swenson.
On cross-examination the witness testi-
fed that the only fault he bad found with
the check after he had talked with Wether-
by was in regard to the name of Albert
7. Patrick h was the only reason he
gave, but not the only reason for Directing
to the check.
Wallace explained that he intended to
wait Information over the telephone before
certifying to the genuineness of the check.
Both the witness and Mr.. Wetherby were
suspicious about the check. When f. p.
Swenson handed the check back to Short
at the bank he told Short they would not
pay 1t, for they heard that Mr.. Rice was
dead.
In response to Mr.. Osborne, Wallace said
that in his opinion the signature on the
check presented at the bank was not that
or William N Rice The hearing was adj
journed until Tomorrow.

ing. A large and enthusiastic audience

make a fortune here in the course of a few
weeks under present conditions. Coins
and bank notes of all nations float around
and are generally accepted by everybody.
The Mexican dollar, which is the coin OF
in China, generally goes in ordi-
nary times at the rate of two for one
American. Now, however, for an American
ive-dollar gold piece he gets twelve. while
on the other hand. for an English sover-
eign, which is not worth as much as a
five-dollar gold piece. you get fourteen.
The reason of this is that the sovereign
is the best liked coin. and the japanese
and Indian soldiers are anxious for gold.
At the prize fund sale OF loot, which takes
place daily at the British legation, Colonel
Scott I. Montcreiff, the presiding officer.

civilized nation, and has a regular list of

In a campaign like the present, where the
troops of so many nations lave met and
watched one another's peculiarities and
characteristics, the conduct of the troops
of any one nation as a whole is especially
interesting to watch, and America can
proudly boast that the men representing
her In China have proved themselves the
equal, If not the superior, of any troops
in China. The unexampled conduct of the
Americans has given General Chaffee an
influence at the meetings of generals. which
are held every other day, ahead of that
of any other general. 1t is not disparaging
either General Chaffee's hard common
sense which, according to other generals.
has helped them solve many a knotty
problem. nor his personal popularity. both
among the diplomats and the generals,
but ii is unquestionable that his Influence
has been greatly increased through being
distinguished themselves, not only IN the
face of the enemy, but equally so against
the temptations which exist in a city like
Picking, under existing conditions. 1t is
also said among foreign officers that the
workings of the adsutant generals Of
flee of the Americans is much quicker and
much more satisfactory than that of any
other nation, and probably the best known
and liked officer of the American officers
among foreign officials, with the exception
CT General Chaffee, is his adjutant general,
Captain Hutchinson, of the Sixth Cavalry.
