en- from the record the statement made
by Charles z. zones, on witness stand
Wednesday concerning the remark
which he said he overheard Patrick
make TO Fred B. House, his counsel
At that time House was the attorney
for both Patrick and Jones, and &C
cording to Jones. Patrick said to the
attorney that he had acted throughout
as though he were playing chess.
Houses reply was alleged to have been
that he was afraid Patrick was a poor
chess player.
Jones testified Thursday that at Pat
rick's request he obtained and gave
the defendant some of the inks used
by Rice In signing the documents of
March rs, 1900. Patrick said he would

Jones then repeated his story of a
visit to Patrick's ONCE when the will
OF 1900 was read to him.
Patrick and Meyer and Short were
present" Jones said. I'VE had some
trouble In securing privacy, because
Col. Walker was in Mr.. PatrickB Of
Ace and Patrick could not get rid of
him. Patrick said Short and Meyer
were going on their vacations. and he
wanted them to witness the viii be-
fore they went, In case of Rice's death
while they were out of the city. That
was In July, 1900. The will was not
signed then"
Jones said he saw the will shortly
before Rice died, and then 1t was
signed.

jones' STORY IS TOLD.
Testifies How Patrick and Himself
Murdered Mr. Rice.
GOES INTO DETAILS.
Jones' Evidence Alleges That He
Murdered the Old Man at the
Instigation and With the
Assistance Of Patrick.

New York. Feb. 21.-A very drama
tic point in the trial OF Lawyer Albert
T. Patrick for the murder of Texas
Millionaire William NJ. Rice, was
reached Thursday evening. Charles f.
Jones, the valet, had been relating the
circumstances leading up to the some
what sudden death OF Mr.. Rice, In
September. Then plunging at once
into the details he held the attention
of his audience to the end of his re-
cital. Freed Of minor points. his story
was as follows:
In August Patrick grew impatient.
Mr.. Rice. though an invalid, was hv-
ing too long to suit the lawyers pur.
pose. Patrick said he would come TO
the house and Kill him himself II nee
essary. He suggested chloroform and
Jones said he would get some. The
idea OF chloroform as a means was
suggested by a magazine article. 1t
was determined one after Jones talked
with a physician who said person
whose heart was affected. as was Mr..
Rice's, could be most easily killed
with II and that little trace of the
drug would be left. Jones got a two
ounce bottle of 1t by writing to his
brother In Texas.
Jones then branched of into the al
legged plan TO weaken the old man.
This was done by giving him mer-
curry and iron pills. Then unwitttngiy
friend Drought Rice a present OF
bananas, OF these the old man ate
nine. The fruit made him exceeding.
ly iii and the weaking does Of mercury
were kept up. BY Saturday being
the eight day OF the last illness Mr..
Rice became delirious. This testimony
brought the events up to Sunday. the
day of death, and the witness had
said that during these ten days OF i'll
ness he had kept Patrick informed OF
the details personally and by tele-
phone.
Rices quick death he said, was de-
csded upon at q conference between
| Patrick and Jones held Saturday night
| Jones had told the lawyer of the ar
| rival OF a draft for S25 900. Patrick
told him IL was time to apply the
chloroform now that the draft had
/ come and Capt. Baker was coming. or
they would lose all Jones agreed.
Jones here told his story Of the &C.
| tual killing. He made cone OF a
! towel In the small end of which was
chloroformed sponge. Creeping in.
| to the room where Mr., Rice lay sleep
| ing be quickly covered the sleeper
| face with the large end of the cone.
| Jones rushed ont OF the room. In half
| an hour he came back He removed
| the cone. Mr.. Rice was dead. Jones
swore he telephoned Patrick these
| words; MIR. Rice is very ILL.," the
agreed signal between the two Of the
| death Jones story Of the end was
concluded by the statement that Pat
/ rick came to the house and removed
| all OF Mr.. Rice's papers.

Washington, Feb. 2l.-Now that the
Schley case has been settled ofticfally
it is understood that Secretary Long
feels that he Is at liberty to carry out
the project cherished by him in the
last year OF McKinley's administration
to retire to private life, However, this
is not expected to ensue at once for
there is no certain knowledge of what
will follow in congress, notwithstand-
ing a strong belief by the administra-
ton that the case is settled beyond
revival. Therefore 1t is understood
that the change in the cabinet circle
will not take place before the adjourn
ment OF the present session of con
gress and perhaps not until next
autumn.

ception of few minutes given to rou-
tine business the senate devoted its en-
tire session Thursday to the Philip
pine question. Mr.. Patterson Of Colo
RADIO, one Of the minority members OF
the Philippines committee. delivered
his first extended speech in the senate
and was given a most attentive and
careful hearing He discussed prfnci'
pally the sedition laws enacted by the

lacking the authority of the commits
sion to enact and enforce such laws.

that character. He compared informa-
ton furnished by the executive depart.
ments of the government with some of
the statements of Governor Taft In his
testimony before the Philippines com
mittee with respect to the capabili
ties of the Philippines people, and de
livered with some heat his belief that
Governor Taft misrepresented the
true situation in the islands for mo-
tives unknown. He asserted that If
the 5000 900 Christians in the Phil
ippines were Protestant Christians.
the cruelties practice on them by the
American authorities would have to
stop as no member of congress would
be able TO withstand the wrath of the
Methodist, Baptists and Presbytertans
Of the country.

legal and constitutional argument in
support of the governments action In
the Philippine archipelago. and sharp
ly criticised Mr.. Patterson for injecting
into the controversy the question of
sectarianism.
