PATRICK KEEPS HIS NERVE.
Says Jones Was Badgered Into
Making a False Statement.

REPU BI.IC SPECIAL
New York, Nov. 1.-When Jones was car
ried out of the Tombs to-day unconscious
from loss of blood. all Of the prisoners
were awake. The word was passed around
that the young man had attempted to kill
himself Al was excitement Immediately
and a great din arose in the prison.
Patrick was one of the first to receive
word of what had happened. He did not
for Il moment lose his self-possession.
TO one Of his keepers Patrick addressed
an inquiry concerning Joness condition. He
was told that his co-defendant was still
alive, but could hardly recover.
That is too bad said Patrick. why
did he do so foolish an act? He Is inno-
cent of any wrong doing In Connection with
Rice. We are both certain of acquittaI
and am sorry that ne has lost his heaQ:
| hope he will recover, as his death would
prejudice my case.

Now York. Nov. 1.-The discovery OF
mercury in the body Of William Marsh Rice
az reported by Professor 4. A. Witthaus.
analytical chemist was the cause o: Charles
j.. Jones making the confession attributed
TO him.
Jones became morose and thoughtful af-
ter reading Professor Witthauss report. He
lost confidence In his own case.
Professor Witthars said:
"l would INFER from the very small guam
tity Of mercury found in the stomach and
the relatively large amount found in the
ntcstines. and particularly In the kidneys.
that metal in some form of soluble combi-
nation had been introduced into the body
during the life of the deceased probably
several hours. possibly days. previous to
his death.
Those words burned into the brain of
jones. Cold science had revealed the cause
of his amsters death, He read and reread
the analysis of the chemist and his nerve
forsook him. In this frame of mind he
fell an easy victim of the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney. and his confession followed
speedily.
