VISIT TO THE OLD HONE
M. Y. va. Swesli Speads Three Heaihs
Amid Boyheed SceaeS.

Mr.. r. ". b. Sweat, father OF
Deputy Sheriff George G. Sweat
and one of the pioneer settlers of
Ellis county, spent three months
this summer amid bovhood scenes
in the hills of Tennessee. Mr..
Sweat has been &C home several
days, but 1t was only Wednesday
afternoon that the reporter was able
to obtain an interview from him
with reference to his trip.
In speaking of his visit to the old
home, Mr.. Sweat said he never
spent three months more pleasantly
He has o great number OF nsphews
and nieces in Franklin and adjoin-
ing counties and they extended ev-
cry courtesy one could ask. Mr..
Sweat left franklin county for Tex
as nearly half a century ago and
this was his first visit back to his
native state. Among the many
places of interest which he visited
was his fathers old Homestead,
eighteen miles west of Nashville.
Mr.. Sweat said all the familiar
marks about the old place were gone
and it was with some difficulty that
he recognized the house wherein he
spent many happy days. The black
jack grove and magnificent cedar
trees which surrounded the house
when last he saw 1t had been cut
away and the yard had been turned
into field. No one has lived in
the house for several years and it Is
now in decaying state. The walls
are still standing, but the roof had
fallen in long ago. He made his
way inside the building and stood
once more in the rooms where his
youth was spent and where he
dreamed of fortunes to be made in
the far west. He hunted mp the old
spring on the hill side and found it
surrounded by an almost impene-
trable growth of trees, briars and
vines.
Mr.. Sweat said he met only six
people whom he knew when he was
a boy. They were old school mates
and like himself their hair had been
silvered by the hand of time.
Mr.. Sweat visited the Franklin
battlefield and went all over the
grounds where one of the bloodiest
battles of the civil war was fought
The old battle field 10 nov in cult
walton, and when q rain comes af-
ter the ground has been freshly
plowed many balls and grape shot
are yet to be found in great album
dance. Mr.. Sweat picked ND large
number of minnie balls which be
brought home with him. He visited
the spot where General Claiborne
fell, which 10 now marked by q large
monument. Mr.. Sweat saw a big
brick residence and q small brick
smokshouse which stood near the
battlefield and which were badly
damaged by shot and shell. The
residence has been repaired but the
abrasicns made in the smokehcuse
are still to be seen.

electrocution, which might seem to
some to make the total (l3) an un-
lucky omen for the success of Patricks
appeal.
Patrick is the most noted of the
group Of convicted murderers, the
others having committed crimes that
attracted but little public attention
The murder of Rice was the great
sensation of its day. He died Septem-
ber %. 1900, and Patrick was arrested
in the following October. So intricate
were the circumstances of the case
that he was not charged with murder,
but with forgery, and several weeks
elapsed before the capital charge was
placed against him.
His was one of the most prolonged
murder trials in history. Although
defended by eminent lawyers he was
practically his own counsel, and in the
matter of preparing the appeal he
has worked indefatigably and with
great ability.
The evidence on which the jury
formed its verdict showed that with
Charles Jones he had entered into a
conspiracy to obtain possession of the
wealth of William Marsh Rice, esti-
mated at from $4,0O0,0 900 to $40, ,OOO. .OO0
Jones was Riee's valet and confidential
secretary, a queer combination.

poisoning, will was produced by Pat.

and in which Patrick and Jones were
the beneiieiaries. District Attorneys
Osborne and Garwin whose suspicious
were aroused, obtained information
that Patrick had never come into con-
tact with Rice on terms approximating

TWO YEARS IN THE DEATH HOUSE

NEW YORK, May 3l.-Although
William Marsh Rice, the murdered
New York millionaire, died nearly four
years ago, Albert 7. Patrick, sentenced
TO death for the crime, is still in the
Sing Sing prison, serving his twenty
sixth month in solitary confinement.
He was brought to Sing Sing May s.,
1902, and an appeal taken at that time
has served as a stay of execution.
His case has finally been set for the
October term of the court Of appeals.
Many weeks will pass after the hear
ing before the court will be able to go
through the voluminous record and
decide whether the long confined man
shall have another chance before a
jury and perhaps obtain freedom, az
did his predecessors in the death house,
Roland b. Molineaux and DR.. Samuel
j. Kennedy.
A peculiar form of Patrick's solitary
confinement is that he, of all those
who have been committed to the death
house, is the only one who ever per-
sonally served the warden with pro-
test against solitary confinement, pend
ing the result Of the appeal. Pat
rick, who is a lawyer, drew up the
paper in due legal form, claiming. that
solitary confinement was not contem-
plated by the legislature which pass
ed the law making death by electricity
the penalty for first degree murder.
His protest was futile.
OF all those who occupied adjoining
scells in the death house when Patrick
arrived, none now remain, Most Of
them have long since paid the panalty
Of their crimes. At present there are

BRILLIANT WRITER
DIED FORfSAKEN

SAN FRANCISCO. May 3l.-The
withered, shrunken body of an old
man was taken from room in cheap
lodging house here the other day by
the coroner and carried to the morgue
where it lay unnoticed and unmourned
until an old friend came to the rescue
and laid it to rest.
The remains were those of Edwin
Ruthven Campbell. uncle of ex-Gov-
ernor Campbell of Ohio, and brother of
Congressman Campbell of the same
place, and uncle of ex-Congressman
H. l.. Morey.
Thus in almost abject poverty died
the once brilliant writer and speaker,
whose family tree was buried deep in
American soil Ills grandfather was
Andrew Small and was soldier in
the revolutionary war.
Campbell started his newspaper
career in Ohio, but came west in the
early days. For a number of years
he was at the head ef several coast
publications. but during the past de-
cade had practically dropped out of
sight.

friendship, and that the old man had
never received him as a visitor.
Patrick and Jones were arrested
charged with forgery. In prison Jones
confessed that he had killed Rice at
the instigation of Patrick, who had
planned the crime from its inception.
Jones had but brief stay in Jail
and was at liberty before the lawyer
was brought to trial. He greatly aid
ed the authorities in obtaining evidence
The main reliance of Patrick's defense
was that the jury would not believe
Jones, but the jury decided that other
facts corroborated the valet's testi-
mony.
Should Patrick he freed of the mur-
der charge he will never obtain the
fortune he tried so desperately to grab.
as the civil courts have decided that
the will produced by Patrick was a
forgery and will signed four years
before has been admitted to probate.
