CHANCE FOR PATRICK.
Nan Connected of Rice Murder Mag
Escape on TechnicaIitv.

Albany, Oct e-The postponement to-day until
Monday Of argument in the Rice will case. in con-
necrion with which Albert T. Patrick is awaiting
death in Sing Sing Prison for the murder Of
William NJ. Rice. has led TO the discovery OF
remarkable chain Of circumstances BY which Pat
rick may escape the electric chair. not through
reversal by the Court OF Appeals Of his conviction
and death sentence. but through an amazing tan
gle OF legal technicalities
AS the case stands tonight Patrick is q ron-
demned prisoner IN the death cell at Sing Sing
Prison. Nearly eighteen months have passed since
the week in which he TO have died for the
murder Of William ". Rice, his execution being
stayed ostensibly by appeal TO the Court OF
Appeals but the records Of the court show no
such appeal in existence The legal time for the
fling Of such appeals elapsed six months ago.
and a legal problem lies behind the question
10 how the death sentence may again be imposed.
Patrick was convicted in March. 1872. OF being
the principal in the death OF William NJ Rice, and
on April was sentenced in the Court Of General
Sessions at New-YOrk 10 die at Sing Sing in the
week beginning May .. Notice OF appeal acted as
a stay
On October s. year ago. the court handed down
order denying the motion for extension of
time in which 10 prepare an appeal. on the ground
that. in any case, the six months law. giving
them until March l. afforded ample time With
this order OF the court the records stop No ap-
peal has been filed. 10 argument has been had, and
the time specified passed by six months ago. The
Court OF Appeals has no jurisdiction 20 TX a rev
date for Patricks execution. and. apparently. the
notice Of appeal has ceased TO be operative
stay OF execution The week Axed for Patrick's
death passed by about eighteen months ago.
A Judge OF the Court OF Appeals. while declining
70 be quoted by name. said tonight: II the facts
are as they seem the Court Of Appeals has now no
jurisdiction over the case 7 suppose the District
Attorney may 90 into court for order recalling
Patrick TO court 10 be resenteuced- Il would be
intoerable that man should cheat the law BY
The Judge said that he could not recall any
similar case.
Even II this procedure were followed, the ques
ton arises whether il would afford Patrick opp0r
tunitv for a new appeal and delay the execution
Of his sentence again
Another aspect % his case will come up before
The Court Of Appeals next week. when Patrick
suit for the major share Of the millions eft by Mr..
Rice will be argued
