oOme Important DevelOpne ents at the
Trial of Lawyer Patrick.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.--The most i'm
pOrtant feature Of the cross examina-
ton Of Millionaire Ricc's nephew at
the Patrick trial yesterday was bis
statement that he had written agree
ment with the William NJ. Rice insti-
tutn, through Captain Baker, whereby
he was to get $4,000 if the will Of 1896
vas probated.
AS the will Of 1896 only provided S5,-
900 for the witness Patrick's lawyers
made much Of this fact as showing
that Captain Baker and the Rice insti-
tute were willing to puy the heirs more
than the will allowed in order to pre-.
vent Il contest.
Rice's nephew testified that Jones
wired him Of Rice's death on the Mon
day following the alleged murder, that
he saw Patrick on his arrival here and
that Patrick told him he was heir to
100000 and his son heir to 100000.
