CITY SOLICITOR TO DECIDE.
Question of Opening Alley In Square
81 Awaits His Opinion.

Captain Newcomer, assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner, has recommended
that the question Of opening an alley in
square 81 be referred to the City Solicitor
for his opinion. In 1894 the then Engi-
neer Commissioner forwarded to the As
SCISSOR plat OF an alley in square 81 in
structing that it be assessed as private
property, owned by Christian Rupert.
Surveyor LOCKER replied that such ac
tion would establish precedent under
which many alleys whose status are pre-
cisely the same as the one in question
could be closed, to the detriment OF the
District and many property-owners.
few years later, Engineer Commits
sioner Beach recommended digest Of the
case. and a compilation of the alleys In
the District that would be affected similar
ly il the rule should-be generally applied.
Steps are now being taken to open
an alley in another portion Of the square
in question, which would connect with
the one referred to. Investigation of the
status of the alley led Captain Newcomer
to believe it public one. since it was
plainly shown on the plat of the subdi-
vision without any limitations as to its
use.

SURPRISE FOR THE SAENGERS.
Business Mems Club Won Two
League Bowling Games.

The Business Mems Bowling Club
dropped into the Saengerbund alleys last
night and if thunderstorm had sailed
in it would not have created greater sur
prise, for the visitors took away two of
the three games. They surprised them
selves, the Saengers and their "rooters."
The home team had run of hard luck,
and the pins would not fall for them last
night. Miss after miss in comparatively
easy spares is about the whole story OF
this surprise party.
The team bowled consistently enough
twenty pins being the difference between
the first and last games. The first game
was won by seven pi.s, and the last by
sixty-four. The home team won the sec
ond by a big margin. Hopkins, of the
visitors, bowled high score-200-and
nearly every man earned good average.
The result of the games places the
Saengers on tie with the Jolly Fat Mems
Club for second place.

conversation he had with Mr. Rice in
July, 1900.
The question was objected to and ruled
out the recorder.
But l can show here" said the pros
ecUting attorney. what Mr. Rice said at
that time was so inconsistent with the
terms of the Will of 1900 that Mr. Rice
never could have made that will and
that it must be forgery
Objection sustained, repeated the re-
corder.
No questions, Mr.. Pastoriza: you may
so back to Texas" said Mr.. House.
More Testimony barred.
Mr.. Henry Oliver, Of Lockport, y. Y,
formerly manager of the Rice oil prop
critics in Texas, was the next witness.
The oil mill was burned down just be-
fore Rice's death, and Mr. Rice was to
furnish s250,0OO to rebuild. According to
the opening address of the prosecution it
was necessary to murder Rice on the
particular Sunday of the alleged crime in
order to prevent the sending OF that s250,-
coo to Texas. where Patrick could not
get it.
But the attempt to support that state
ment with testimony today failed be-
cause of another ruling by the recorder
in favor of the defence. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne offered as evidence
a copy Of draft from the oil plant con-
/ cern on MIR. Rice. 1t was objected to,
and the recorder would not admit,it.
MIR. House Sarcastic.
Judge Thomas W. Ford. OF Houston. the
next witness. was asked by the prose-
cutting attorney to tell of conversation
that he had with Rice, but he was not
allowed to answer.
Judge Ford" asked Mr.. House. in
| cross examination, did Patrick ever tell
you that he was in conspiracy with any
one to kill Mr.. Rice?"
No., replied the judge, who evidently
resented the sarcasm as much as the jury
enjoyed 1t.
Mr. William NJ. Rice jr.. nephew and
namesake of the millionaire. was the last
witness of the day. He is an executor of
the will of 1886, and his name also ap-
pears as executor on the will of 1900. He
was educated at Princeton at the uncles
expense
Would Profit by 1896 VIII.
Under cross examination by Mr.. House,
the witness admitted that if the will of
1896 is probated, the Texas lumber firm
of which he is a member will not be
obliged TO pay debt of s2i, 900 owed to
the Rice estate. The witness also ad-
mitted that he would fare better under
the will OF 1895 than by the will of 1900
This statement by one of the prOsecu-
tion chief witnesses was fatty contra
dictory to the opening statement of the
assistant district attorney to the effect
that Patrick, in forging the will of 1900, /
had provided a larger bequest for each
heir than he or she would receive under /
the genuine will, so that the heirs would .
find it to their personal interest to sup /
port che forged instrument.
The trial will be resumed on Monday.
