NEW EVIDENCE FOR
ALBERT 7. PATRICK
Sensational Charges to Be
Made as Basis for Plea for a
New Trial Morrow.

Afidavits making sensational allega-
lions and submitting what purports to
be new evidence in the case OF Albert
T. Patrick, now awaiting electrocution
in the Death House at Sing Sing, will
be filed tomorrow afternoon before
Recorder Con. who sentenced him to
death.
These afidavits will be the basis of
q plea for a new trial. Failing in that
the case will be taken to the Court OF
Appeals. So far the case is following
along the lines of that OF M~olineux,
and It Is said that upon a second tral
Patrtck's counsel anticipate a similar
verdict to that won by Molipeux.
John c. Tomlinson, leading counsel
for Patrick. had intended filing the afi-
davits with Recorder Gofr this morning.
but an incident occurred which changed
the programme so that the papers can
not be filed until tomorrow afternoon.
A rumor that conspiracy was to be
alleged in the new petition was denied
deny hat an effort Is to be made to
make the Patrick case a parallel to that
OF Molineux and that the same excep-
lions are to be argued before the Court
Of Appeals.
Patrfcks attorneys would not say
that the amdayits would consist OF
charges, but admitted that the informa-
ton contained in them would be OF a
startling nature. The procedure is UNI
usual and will be watched by attorneys
with almost as much interest as by
Patrick himself.

EACH AUTO MUST

Police Arresting Drivers of Hack
Automobiles Which Do Not
Display Owners Marks.

Central Park police are rounding up
auto drivers who fail to display their in
itials on machines. and before night they
expect to have forty or more men under
arrest for violation of this ordinance.
Until the law is generally observed the
police will keep a sharp lookout and
arrest every offender,
The cases against five drivers for the
New York Transportation Company were
called in the Yorkville police court this
morning and adjourned until tomorrow.
They were arrested to test the question
whether hack autos should show a num-
Der or initials OF the temporary owner.
The machines driven by arrested men
are in most cases rented from the COM
pany by individuals n the chauffeurs
are provided with the autos. The police
contend that these machines should
bear the initials of the persons who
rent them. This view is taken by the
Corporation Counsel and he advised
Commissioner Partridge n the High
way Commissioner to act accordingly.

that in consideration of the money ad-
vanced to help him at a critical time
he was to build and present to her a
fine house for her own use, and was to
provide for the return of the SIS, 600
upon his death.
In 1894, the young woman declares,
her family having grown poor while
her uncle waxed rich, she went TO him
and asked for a return of her share OF
the SIS, 1000. Thereupon. she says. an
agreement was made bebween them by
