VALUABLE PAPERS RECOVERED.
Important Documents In Celebrated
Patrick Case Were MIssina.

Patrick Case Were Missing.
New York, Jan. 12.-All the impor-
tant papers in the case of Albert II.
Patrick, under sentence of death for
the murder of the aged Texas million
aire, Marsh Rice, are reported to have
been lost from the district attorneys
office. Without them it may be i'm.
possible to fight the appeal now pend.
ing and the most intricate case on the
court records for a century may re-
suit in the freeing of the prisoner af.
ter his having spent two years in
the death house.
The papers reported to be missing
include tn famous Rice will Of 1893
and all the exhibitions exhibited by
District Attorney Jerome to fight the
appeal of PatricR's lawyers. Their
loss will render District Attorney Je-
rome helpless.
Officials in the district attorneys
office know that the documents are
still in existence and believe they can
recover them. How strongly this
hope is based will probably be shown
within few days.
1t is understood that the grand jury
has called before it two men who are
known to spend much of their time
around the criminal courts building.
One of these witnesses upon being
questioned closely regarding the miss.
ing papers, is said to have related
that as he was walking along Center
street several days ago he Kicked out
Of the slush a package of papers. He
saw that they were exhibits in the
Patrick case and that the Rice will
of 1893 was among them. He de.
clared that he took them to a law
yer living in Harlem whom he knew
This lawyer has thus far refused to
discuss the matter.
Meanwhile the loss had been discov.
cred, and the entire staff of the dis.
trict attorneys office are searching for
the documents. Finally the matter
was laid before the grand jury.
Later it was learned that the entire
batch Of papers and exhibits had been
recovered and their temporary loss
will in now way affect the status of
the Patrick case.
While great secrecy has been
thrown around the ,...aGair, with fhee
sole object OF placing the blame for
the abstraction of the documents from
the criminal corts building

Judge Pritchard said he would not
rule on this point until after the evil
dence was in.
John F. Kummler, of Toledo, o., of
counsel for the Lorenzs, wanted the
jury to inspect the Croft fastener,
and started in with a sarcastic refer
ence to Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, but Judge Pritch-
ard stopped him, with the statement
that it was not the proper time to
submit such evidence.
The government scored a point
when Judge .Pritchard allowed the
postoffice inspectors who are to go on
the stand to remain in the room, all
the other witnesses being excluded.
District Attorney Beach opened for
the government He recited the sew
eral counts in the indictment, specific
ally defining what is meant by con-
spiracy, and said that the defendants
had been brought into court on a
charge of dishonesty. He related
the long-standing friendship of Ma
chen and the Lorenzs and their busi-
ness relations, as well as the deal
ings of the Groffs with the former ST.
perintendent of free delivery, and said
he would prove the payment to Ma
chen by the Groffs of 20 per cent of
the price of the fasteners, a part of
which went to the Lorenzs as inter-
mediaries.
Counsel for defendants waived an
opening statement, whereupon an ad-
