BY Union Associated Press.

By Union Associated Press.
Neu York, March 27'-Albert
M. Patrick has been declared
guilty of the murder Of William
Marsh Rice, and the penalty for
the crime is death-death IN the
electric chair instead of by the
moose, but death. The portion
awarded to the victim is to be
dealt out in turn tie the arch con-
spiator. Food for the worms
unless there is a reversal by the
supreme court-lnstead of en-
joying the fruits of a crime which
would appear to have been taken
from the pages Of romance of
the middle ages.
A scant three hours of deliber-
alton at the close Of a trial pro-
longod for nine weeks and re-
plete with sensational interests,
spficed to enable the jury to
reach the verdict. The issue of
the trial establishes the charge
that Patrick conspired with Mr..
Rice's valet, Charles F. Jones, to
obtain possession ofthe Texans
estate and that Jones killed his
employer by the administration
of chloroform at the direct insti-
CATION of Patrick.
