PATRICK'S LAWYER GOES TO WAR.
Attacks Counsel on the other Side and
Says Trial Was Travesty.

The examination Of witnesses before
Recorder COT on the motion for a new
trial for Lawyer Albert r. Patrick, con-
victed Of the murder OF William NJ. Rice,
was finished yesterday when George Gordon
Battle was questioned by Lawyer John c.
Tonlinson for Patrick. Mr.. Battle said
that he was retained at the Office of Horn
blower 4 Byrne for Valet Charles +. Jones
by Capt Baker, the proponent Of the Rice
1900 will. He said that he had told Jones
that it was his belief that IL Jones became
witness for the District Attorney he
would never be prosecuted. Jones made a
confession to him at Bellevue Hospital
and he told tho District Attorney about the
confession.

a new trial partly upon the relations of the
proponent Of the 1895 will, capt. Baker,

If Mr.. Tomlinson says that / served
three masters, retorted MIR. Battle as he
was about to leave the witness stand. Il

would resent il more forcibly."
Mr. Tomlinson also called Assistant

| asked a witness If John ID. Milliken, Pat

false statements from Jones while Jones
was at the private sanitarium in West
