SUMS UP PATRICK'S DEFENSE
Attorney Moore Says Prosecution
Failed 10 show Motive for Al
legged Murder of Rice.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Robert NJ. Moore
began today summing up for the defense
in the trial OF Albert 7. Patrick, accused
of the murder of William NJ Rice. In open
ing he said the prosecution had shown no
motive for the killing OF Rice by Patrick,
because Patrick, under the 1900 will, was
not TO inherit Rices millions for himself,
but for the carrying out OF a trust. Jones
statement that Rice was killed at the direc-
tion OF Patrick, the lawyer contended, was
unworthy Of belief because Jones had
motive in making that statement.
Mr.. Moore laid stress on the wording OF
the will Of 1895. which he declared gave far
greater power over the Rice estate to Cap
tain Baker than the 1900 will gave TO Pat
rick. He said the Rice institute OF Hous-
ton, Tex, was merely a scheme to head off
the Holt litigation over the will OF the de-
ceased Mrs. Rice. Patrick's conduct
throughout, Mr.. Moore said, was that of an
honorable and innocent man.
