JONES ON THE STAND.
Valet Tells OF Plot 10 Secure Million
afre Rice's Riches.

afre Rfce's Riches.
New York, April 2.-Cbarles Il.
Jones, valet and secretary for the late
William NJ. Rice, was called as wit
ness in the hearing before Justice Jer-
ONE to determine whether Albert 7.
Patrick should be held for the murder
of the Texas millionaire.
In detail Jones made practical con-
fessipn of conspiracy with Patrick to
forge will making Patrick residuary
legatee.
Two things that have only been
hinted at before Jones made clear in
his testimony. According to his con-
fession, Patrick not only never saw
Mr.. Rice in his numerous visits to
the Berkshire, but he Jonesl gave
orders that Mr.. Rice was never TO
know that any negotiations We're III
progress between his valet and Pat
rick.
Jones made no effort to exculpate
himself. With calmness and noncha-
lance almost incredible, he narrated
his share in the tragedy and painted
himself In colors almost as black as
the man who is placed by his testimony
in the shadow of the electric chair.
In anticipation of an exceptionally Sc
we're conflict the counsel defending Pat
rick was REINFORCED by the addition
of w. +. Cantwell, the partner Of Mr..
Moore, who has appeared for Patrick
from the beginning of the hearing.
Jones looked remarkably self com
posed. He smiled as he took the wit
ness stand, while Patrick shifted his
seat to a corner where he could look at
him all the time he was testifying.
Jones said he was born in Paris
county, Tex. He worked in hotel in
Houston, and through man named
| Alexander he met Rice and entered his,
employ in October, 1896 Rice came TO
this city in May, 1897, and the witness
accompanied him.

New York Has Case Like the cud-
ahy Affair.


New York, April IA letter and 9
postal card demanding ransom have
been received by William Mccormick,
father of William Mccormick, Jr., who
disappeared from his home in High
bridge on last Wednesday evening, and
there is no longer any doubt in the
minds of the parents that the boy has
been kidnapped. The police say there
is a possibility that the letter and post
al card may have been written by some
heartless list of April joker, but they
say 1t can scarcely be conceived that
any one could be so cruel.
The letter told the parents that IL
they wanted to see their boy again they
should place 5000 in gold in a boiler
which stands at One Hundred and
Thrty-fifth street and Third avenue
and which is not now being used. The
letter was turned over to Police In
spector John ii. Grant, in whose in
spection district Highbridge is. He
had decoy package prepared and
placed in the boiler, as directed in the
anonymous letter.
Then he had watch placed on the
boiler. Two of his detectives were still
watching at One Hundred and Thirty
fifth street and Third avenue when
Mr.. Mccormick received postal card,
the writing on which was in the same
hand as the letter. The writer said
that mistake had been made in d.
recting the parents to place the money
in the boiler at the place before mem
toned and directed that the 5000 in
gold be left at another place.

PROTESTED THE ELECTION.
Member of Bicycle Club Says By
Laws Were Not Complied With.

1t now seems to be question as tc
whether the election of officers of the
Wilmington Bicycle Club which was
held Monday night, will stand or not.
J. Albert Oliver, one of the members,
has filed protest, on the ground that
the bylaws were not complied with in
the matter OF having ballots printed.
The law requires the directors to author
ize the president to have the printing
done. but in the present case this pre-
liminsry matter was overlooked. The
tickets were printed, however, on the
order of President w. w. Rice, and Mon.
day night, before the election was held,
the directors held special meeting and
sanctioned the action Of the president.
A committee has been appointed to
take up the protest, hear both sides, and
report at the next meeting.
