THE PATRICK CASE.
The Grand Jury Continues Its Con-
sideration-A New Witness.

sideratfOn-A New Witness.
NEW YORK, April 19.-The grand
jury resumed its consideration to-day
of the charge of murder against Al
bert T. Patrick, who is accused OF hav-
ing caused the death Of William M.
Rice. The principal witness of the
day was Charles F. Jones. the former
valet and secretary of the dead man.
Other witnesses in the grand jury
room were Charles Wetherbee, the clerk
in Swenson & Sons, bankers, Prof.
Witthaus and John r. Potts, a friend
of Patrick.
Potts is a new witness. He testified
at the hearing in the magistrates
court that on the day following the
death of Rice, Patrick had given
him a check for $25, 900, made out to
him by the millionaire, which had been
certified by the Fifth Avenue Trust
Company. Potts deposited it in the
Chatham National Bank in trust for
Patrick, but he said to-day that he
had taken the check out since and
handed it to the administrator of the
Rice estate.
