was no word against Baker there"
 'Go on with your case" ruled the Re- corder. ,,
 MT. Moore said to you. gentlemen" Mir Osborne continued turning to the jury, that you must disregard the testi- mony of Jones. We'll agree with you. Disregard Jones. Ou- of the door goes Jones. The case against Patrick Is prov ed without the testimony Of Jones. Will show the guilt of Patrick from the wit nesses for the defense and out of the speeches of MT. Moore and Mir. House.
 MT. Osborne declared that crime and criminals must be stamped out. Crime is rampant" he said. "A condition Of anarchy is growing. There was more anarchy in this court room during this trial than I ever saw before in my lire. The very foundations of society was at tackled by the behavior of counsel ana their conduct of the case"
 At the afternoon session MT. Osbor!,e resumed his summing up. He asked the jury to consider if it was reasonable 10 believe that a man like Rice, who begin ming at g week had amassed q fortune of $11W.000 would choose Meyer ana Short as witnesses to his will.
 Do you think if I could find an old millionaire. struck on me'-that is Pat rickS own XpreSSion-Who wanted 10 leave me a million or more. that l would get witnesses out of my own office: Not much. The witnesses should be men or unimpeachable integrity. Where did MT. hlce go TOT InC WltItSStS tp ilS hi 9S will? Where any sane man would go-to his bankers ''
 MT. Osborne compared the two wills in support of his contention that every one who would testify to MT. Rice's habit of handwriting was mentioned for leS- acy by the will of 1900.
 Mir Osborne faced toward the defend- ant and raising his clenched hands above his head declared: Can any one doubt the guilt of this man? That cremation letter. idlotically worded as it was. must convince any honest man or Patrlck guilt
 "Remember this is a lawyers crime Patrick knew the code. Jones had no onnortunity to kill Mir Rice. Patrick took care he should have no motive Jopes was not mentioned in the will fatrlCk ' back alley of escape was preptteu. ne cremation letter was there and then fal. . ricx was able to prove that he had lol been at the Madison Avenue apdrtileh"tS " for fifteen days. He did not call 10 see his dying friend He knew MT, hlce e wIS going to die. He wrote 10 Holt on otP. tember 11 that MT. Rice ndu pHt i'''' longer to live. ,,,
 We don't want the testimony Of Jones We have shown by MT. Curry that MT VII, Ric6s condition was normal at H""'' the Sunday he died.

Jones was there, locheu up with the old man; the elevator man nroyed that What was he doing theref We know he had chioroform; that was nroved by witnesses. Throw out Jones testimony. What did Jones do that even ing? He teIephoned to Patrick and Pat rick rushed to the death bed of his dear friend? Not much. He waited for Wlt, ness and then he took possession or all the nroperty he found there.
 "Soon after we find Pa1Iick and Jones and Never and Short in MT. Rice's rooms together, the conSpirators looking over inc ground, gloating over the result or the conspiracy and getting ready for the police in case the police came in. Later you find Patrick in his office. destroying evidence. All night busy there He was at Meyers at o'clock next morning. Then Captain Baker arrived from Texas and Patrick, scared out of his life. and- cd everything over to him. checks and wills and all"
 Patrick preserved the will of 1896. MT. Osborne said. because he could use it to coerce the relatives. If that will were destroyed. he said, the relatives would get all the e.tate under the common law. whereas. with that still in existence it would be to their interest to agree to the probate of the 1900 will
 Mir. Osborne then spoke of the medical axperts. He said he was willing tn rest his case on the testimony of pr. Austin T. Flint the leading expert for the de- fAnse. The Assistant District Attorney
