borne over which there seems to be M
Y administrative supervision.
Y $50 far as the tactics employed
against me have been the giving gu
by Mr.. Osborne, continually, of state
ments known by him to be false, In or
der to cause the public to PREJUDICE me
guilty, so as to Justify false imprison-
\ ment and to prevent fair trial, the
wrongful imprisonment Of myself and
the bounding by detectives of those who
appear to favor me; the abuse or the
process of the courts by wrongfully
subpoenaing, in the name of the court
VI persons to personally appear betore
\ him and submit to examinations in his
y office.
1.-THE use under the guise of wit
nesses, of professional handwriting ex-
Ssperts to swear that the signatures OF
the 1900 will. checks, assignments, etc.,
are forgeries and the procuring of false
testimony are all in the same line.
\ Homes swore on the witness stand and
y.Csborne admitted it in open court that
Tones had informed Osborne about
january that Jones had killed Mr.. Rice
With chloroform and that consequently,
Sin collaboration with Witthaus on Feb
Tlary4 s27, the present complaint charg-
line me with killing Rice with mercurial
noison was made al the instance OF Us
borne, in an attempt to deprive me Oh
all knowledge of the nature OF the &C
scusation against me until he had used
as witnesses those whom he supposed to
be for me.
1T have been informed that Jones has
been for several weeks past permitted
~ roam the streets. So far as l am
ssconcerned I have no objection, provid-
ed that Jones is kept within the Juris-
diction Of the court.
N sIt would take but little confederation
to convict Jones upon his own confess
sion. but 1t would take great deal to
convict me upon Jones accusation Ii
AT am held or indicted for murder Jones
will certainly be also, and l would sure
" be acquitted, but in his effort to have
himself corroborated he might be con-
victed, innocent though he is, and then
he would surely be electrocuted, for no
hand could save him.
"Jones is stalking his life upon the
ability Of the handwriting experts to
discredit Rice's signature which Jones
saw him write and which he shows by
his numerous statements and uncertain
Testimony, that he knows Rice signed.
"Jones may rest assured that those
for whom he has outlawed himself
sfrom mankind will abandon him when
they can no longer use him.
eAs to my own position 1 can only
say that 1 will be indicated and will
be able to discharge all duties develop
ing on me and maintain all rights be-
longing to me, all of which, however,
is In the hands of my able and conser-
vative attorneys.
"Of personal revenge I have no
thought but If I am ever convinced
that w. M. Rice was murdered I shall
do my utmost to convict all implicated,
IN which event I am sure I can prove
the motive to the alleged will of 1896 and
the instigators to be persons striving
to uphold it and prove that Jones did
the deed believing that he could thus
prevent the contamination of Mr.. Rices
plans through me-"
Patrick was asked to say something
concerning story printed in morn
ing paper to the effect that Valet Jones
had spent several hours, accompanied
by a policeman attached to the district
attorneys office, in touring the Tender
loin district According to this story
hotels, concert halls and gardens and
theaters had been visited by the pris-
oner. On this point Lawyer Patrick
said: II have known that this kind of
thing has been going on for several
weeks. 1 could not have sworn that
such was the case, but I have heard
from various sources that Jones was
plentifully supplied with money was
taken out buggy riding and was other
wise treated with great kindness and
consideration"
District Attorney Philbin was asked
to-day what he knew of Jones alleged
tour Of the Tenderlain. He replied that
he knew nothing whatever except what
he had read.
Have you at any time given permits
sion for him to absent himselNfrom the
house of detention except when he was
in attendance at court?"
