Patrick May Escape Electric Chair

Patrick May Escape Electric Chair.
Albany, N. Y: The postponement
Friday until next Monday of the argu-
ment in the Rice will case, in connec:
ton with which Albert T. Patrick is
awaiting death in Sing Sing prison for
the alleged murder of William NJ. Rice,
led to the discovery that Patrick may
escape the electric chair through an
amazing tangle of legal technicalities.
Nearly IS months have passed since
the week in which he was TO have
been put to death, his execution being
stayed ostensibly by an appeal to the
Court of Appeals, but records of the
court show no such appeal in exist,
ence. The legal time for filing of suit
of appeal elapsed six months ago, and
a legal problem which may prove ex.
ceedingly troublesome, lies behind the
question as to how the death sentence
may again be imposed upon him.

that this was incorrect. Mr.. Cans
said: There is nothing in the con-

not re-sentence, for. if it afirms the
decision, it certainly can re-sentence. -

Statue Of Russian-Japan Quarrel.
Russia and Japan act as IL either
would fight II the other should hold
immovably to the position taken up In
the last exchange Of communications.
This is the actual situation as under
stood oficially from reports received
from the German Embassy at st. Pet
ersburg, and the German Legation at
Toxic. Yet, this mutual attitude, with
hostile preparations by both countries,
is still regarded as not excluding an
honorable arrangement, Neither Gov
eminent has gone SO far that Il must
fight or be Inundated, but either Cab
met, by a single step, can put the 9th
er In that position. This delicate bal
ance may, of course, be violently dis
turbed any day, though no ultimatum
has yet been thrown on either scale.
It is believed that war, should 1t oc-
cur, would be between Russia and
Japan alone, and that neither England
nor France would be involved. Fred
erick the Greats remark is being quot
ed in Berlin as illustrating the present
posture of affairs: Negotiations
