Reareument For Patrick Denied.

state has denied the motion for re-
argument of the appeal of Albert T..
Patrick from conviction of murder in
the first degree and sentence of death
for the killing in 1900 of William NJ.
Rice, an aged millionaire of New York
city. The motion now denied was
made Oct 2 by former United States
Senator David B. Hill.
1t is impossible to forecast the fu.
ture Of this case, which is recognized
as perhaps the most remarkable in the
criminal history Of this state. Whether
the United States supreme court will
accept jurisdiction by recognizing the
presence in the case of any federal
question, or having accepted it, how rs
judgment will affect the final disposi.
zion of the convicted man, are ques-
tions upon which learned lawyers ex.
press widely divergent opinions.
