PROSECUTION WINS IMPORTANT POINT
IN PATRICK TRIAL
MENT IN NEvIDENCE-CAPTAIN BAKER
SAYS THEY ARE GENUINE

Ihe prosecution won exceedingly important
point yesterday in the trial of Albert T Patrick
charged with numbering William Marsh Rice
by having the wills of 1900 and 1896 admitted
as evidence. The latter was admitted for the
signatures alone
The direct examination of Captain J. A.
Baker was not finished on Tuesday and he was
called to the stand when court opened yester-
day morning. He identified the copy of the
will of 1900 given to him by Patrick on Sep
tember 81 1900. and Mr. Osborne succeeded in
having it admitted in spite of a fire of objec
tons and exceptions. A clerk from the Surro-
gates office produced the will of 1900. which
had been filed for probate, and Mr.. Osborne
asked Captain Baker to examine the signature.
There four pages of the will. and each page
bears the signature William NJ Rice The
witness said he was sure none of the signatures
genuine Robert NJ. Moore, of counsel for
the defence. objected vigorously but the Re
corder sustained Mr.. Osborne and the will was
sent to the jury box and passed from hand to
hand for examination by the jurors.
Mr. Osborne made another attempt at this
point to introduce the will of 1896. ruled out
Tuesday by the Recorder. Mr.. Moore objected,
and Mr.. Osborne in a long argument said he
wanted the will only for the signatures. ad-
mitted to be genuine which he desired to submit
to the jury.
Counsel for the defence argued that any busi-
ness papers old checks would furnish sig
nature for purposes of comparison, but Mr.. Os-
borne said he desired the jury TO see how Mr.
Rice signed his name to his will.
CAPTAIN BAKER RECOGNIZES SIGMA
TURES.
After deliberation Recorder Golf decided to
admit the will, provided the signatures only
were shown. Captain Baker recognized the sig
natures. one on each of the six pages, as those
of Mr.. Rice.
The witness then turned over TO the de-
fence for cross-examination. Mr.. Moore took
copy of the testimony given by Captain Baker
at the magistrates hearing and at the hearing
before Justice Jerome, and asked him why his
testimony of Tuesday and yesterday was so
much stronger and pronounced than IL was at
the earlier examination. Captain Baker did not
reply. He wey asked II he had not told Justice
Jerome that II was Patrick who said a full IN
vestigation should be made The witness did
not remember saying so, but scid II was true
that Patrick had made the statement.

DEPENDS ON PLACE OF BIRTH.
Just Because One Has Seen Snow One
May Not Know All About
/ Everything.

When the young man from Florida came
10 live in New York he woke up one morn
ing last winter and, going to the window,
he looked out on what was to him novel
scene. 1t was snowstorm, the hrst ne
had ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes, he ran into the
street. He stopped and gathered handfuls
of snow and threw them in the air; he
jumped into a drift and sent it flying with
his feet; he finally lay down and rolled in
it-all this time shouting and laughing at
the top of his voice.
One of the crowd which had gathered to
watch his antics went up to him and told
him how his mother used to cure fits and
volunteered to try it on him.
Il haven't any" the young man said.
What's the matter with you, thenP
why, don't you see the snow"
Yes, l see it, What of it? have seen
1t before"
well. haven't" said the Florida young
man.
What! You never saw snow before?''
asked the astonished questioner.
Never. Seems strange to you, don't it =
ut beats any sample of verdaney I ever
ran across"
ooh, I don't know" unused the Florida
cracker, according to the New York Mail
and Express. did you ever see an alligator
eating a black boy? No? Well, you are
not so many, after all have seen it many
times" And, throwing a handful of snow
down his shirt collar, he pursued his .Oyoul
gambols.
