grandfather a hard and close chase for
the Ruskin (Neb.) bank robbers, the

PATRlCK'S PENALTY IS DEATH
Slayer Of William March Rice is Condemned
to Die,
WILL Be ELECTROcUTED At SING SING
Murderer IL Accompanied to Prison.
Where He IL TO be Exc
cuted on May 5, by
His Bride.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Albert Patrick.
who was convicted on March 26 Of the
murder OF William Marsh Rice, was SEN
fenced today by Recorder Gof to be put
to death in the electric chair at Sins Sing
prison on May 5. Rice died in this city
on September %. 1900. An appeal to be
made TO the court Of appeals by Patrick's
counsel will act as a stay Of execution
pending a decision by the higher court.
The recorder. in pronouncing sentence,
made no comment on the jury's verdict.
To the customary question as to whether
the defendant had ANYTHING to say why
Judgment should not be pronounced Mr..
House, Patrick's chief counsel, said he de-
sired to make a motion for a new trial, be-
cause the verdict was contrary to law; be-
cause its was clearly against the evidence;
because II was against the weight Of evil
dence; because the court erred in denying
the defendants motion to advise the jury
to acquit; because the court admitted ille-
gal and improper evidence against the de-
PENDANTS objection; because the court ex.
cluded legal evidence offered by the de-
PENDANT; because the court misdirected the
jury in matters of law; because the court
refused to direct the prosecution to elect
upon which count of the indictment It
would submit the question Of the guilt or
Innocence OF the defendant, and because
it did not appear from the record of the
verdict Of what crime the defendant had
been foun guilty.
The recorder denied the motion for a
new trial. Mr.. House took an exception
and moved for an arrest of Judgment. This
was denied, and sentence was then pro-
nounced by the recorder. The sheriff said
he would take Patrick to Sing Sing this
afternoon.
Patrick was taken to Sing Sing on a
train which left here at 1905 p. m. His
wife, who was Mrs. Addie NJ. Francis, was
a passenger on fhe same train.
Sing sing was reached at 2:2O p. m. Before
entering the carriage which was to take
him to the prison Patrick kissed his wife
and said goodby. At the prison his beard
was shaved OFF and he was placed in a cell
in the death house. He will not be re-
CURED to wear the prison uniform while
he remains at Sing Sing.

condemned murderer OF zahn, was in Lin

Governor Savage. An application for ex-
