WAS PATRlCK'S PHYSICIAN.
DIR. Curry Said He Knew Patrick to
BE Gentleman.

New York, March 7.-Dr. Walker
Curry was cross examined by District
Attorney Osborne in the Patrick muir
der trial to-day. DIR. Curry read from
a record of Mr.. Rice's case.
Several of the entries were made
about FIVE days after Rice's death.
Patrick called twice to see the witness
concerning Rice's condition, the last
time about p. M, on the day before
death occurred. The next morning the
old man was very weak, but the wit
ness thought he would recover. The
pulse was normal as to the number or
beats, but was very weak. There was
no congestion or oedema of the lungs,
so far as he knew.
Mr.. Osborne questioned DR.. Curry
about the number of other diseases,
and the witness said Mr.. Rice had
none of them.
DIR. Curry said Mr.. Rice suffered from
lack of exercise.
Mr. Osborne asked DR.. Curry how
he justified his disclosure of Rice's
condition to Patrick, and DR.. Curry
replied that he did not think
he had been guilty of any
breach of medical etiquette.
You knew Patrick was engaged in
a suit against Mr. Rice: do you think
you had right to divulge to him that
Mr.. Rice had a weak heart and was
suffering from mental depression
asked Mr.. Osborne.
II don't think l did any harm.
knew Mr.. Patrick to be a gentleman.
The witness said he had no knowl-
edge that Mr.. Rice had taken mer-
curry. He did not think mercurial poi
soning caused Mr.. Rice's death; mer
curry might have been of advantage to
him,
The witness would not have admin
istered chloroform to Mr.. Rice; he
thought four or five minutes of chic
reform inhalation would have killed
Mr.. Rice. The witness had been Pat
riek's physician for seven years.
Court was adjourned until Wednes-

Prince Henry CnwittingIy Violated
Request of Father of His Country.
Albany, n. Y, March THE exhi-
bition to Prince Henry of the sword
presented to Gen. Washington by
Frederick the Great, at the executive
chamber, was attended by a peculiar
incident. When the will of Gen. WASH
ington was read after his death it was
found that he had willed his five
swords to his five nephews with the
proviso, that they should not be
drawn from their scabbard unless in
the defense of the country" The
sword presented by Frederick the
Great has been kept strictly in scab-
bard, in compliance with the provis-
ions of the will.
When it was handed to Prince Hen
ry he drew the blade from the scab-
bard. OF course he did not know of
the provisions of the will, but he had,
nevertheless, innocently violated them.
No mention of the occurrence was
made to the Prince.
