ALBANY, n. Y, June 9.-Thc Court
OF Appeals today by divided court
voting four to three, sustained the
lower courts in adjndging Albert, r.
Patrick, the New York lawyer, guilty
uf murder in the first degree, causing
The death Of William Marsh Rice. an
aged millionaire, formerly a resident
OF Texas. On April Z, 1902, Patrick
WIS convicted ON All indictment charg.
ing him with the murder of Rice by
chloroform and mercury, administered
To him during his sickness on Scptcm-
bcr %, 1900. The case reached the
Court of Appeals Oh March If, of this
year.
Patrick has succeeded in postponing
the ultimate decision OF his fate for
over three years by Il display of acii
mon and rcsouccfulnCSs that has on
cited the wonder of the members of
the bar and the public ut large. The
opinion of the court was written by
Judge Gray
Patrick Aided and Allotted Jones.
He sets forth that il was not claimed
that Patrick personally committed the
murder, for the prosecution had the
voluntary confession of Jones, that il
WAS he who did II, induced and aided
thereto by Patrick; but the defendant
WAS principal in the commission of
he crime. under our law. if- he aided
and allotted il whether present urgs,b

After IL review of the evidence Judge
Gray holds that the jury might well
find upon evidence that the death was
not the result of natural causes, and
That il could only be accounted for as
having happened in the way testified
TO by Jones: that is by clloIorororm
poisoning, administered while the vic.
time was sleeping.
In conclusion Judge Gray said that
the evidence. independent of the tcs-
tinony of the accomplicc. is fraught
with Il CRUSHING implication of the dc

CENTRAL GETS CUP.
Base Ball Trophy Presented This
Morning.

Mr.. Henry e. Davis this morning present
ed to the championship base ball team of
the Central High School on behalf Of the
Washington Alumni Association OF Prince
ton University a handsome silver cup offered
to the local high school team which shall
win the championship three times. The
trophy was received by Capt. Logan Cum
ningham of the team, and 1t will remain In
the possession Of the school for at least 4
year. The winning team each year will
claim 1t for the next twelve months, until
one school is so successful as to capture Il
the required number Of times when It will
become the property Of that school.
The cup, an illustration Of which appeared
In The Star of yesterday, has the name of
the Central High School engraved upon 1t
and also the design of the seal Of Princeton
University.
Among those present on the assembly hall
stage in the school when the presentation
was made were DR.. Wallace Neff president
Of the Princeton Alumni Association in this
city; Wallace Donald Mclean. secretary;
H. C. Mclean, James L. Norris. jr., and A.
B. Kelly. Mr. Davis was introduced to the
assembled pupils by Principal Wilson.
The members of the team also occupied
seats on the platform. They are as fol-
lows: Cunningham. captain and pitcher;
Macdonald. first base; Peck. second base;
Kipp. third base; Thomas, short stop;
Willis, center fielder; Hampton left fielder;
Tindall, right fielder. This nine recently
went to Princeton, through the efforts of
the local alumni association Of the univer-
sity. and played the freshmen's team. The
local boys were successful and brought
home a victory.
In his brief address to the school this
morning Mr.. Davis, a Princeton graduate,
said he was very glad to recall his college
days and glad to see friendly relations
pupils of the Central. The democracy, In
dividual and athletic, Of Princeton was
what he wanted to emphasize, he declared,
and he went on to enlarge upon the bene-
Ats accruing from the athletic side of school
life. Because of her attitude toward sports
he thought it eminently fitting that Prince
toms alumni should be the first to offer
cup to the local high schools. He con-
graduated the Central team on Its fine
work and announced that the association
would next fall offer similar trophy to be
contested for by the local high school foot
ball elevenS This was applauded Vlgor-
ously.
He was sure he said, that the boys Of
the team, who have started SO we'll in one
direction, will win honor in other lines. If
afforded him great pleasure, he said, to pre-
sent the trophy to the Central. and he ex-
pressed the hope that 1t may remain there
Indefinitely. Before closing he paid a
graceful compliment to the Central team
for having defeated the freshmen Of his
alma mater.
Capt Cunningham received the cup on be-
half of the team and the school In brief
speech, in which he thanked the donors
heartily for the gift.
Mr.. Wilson brought the exercises to
close by congratulating the team and max
ing several announcements

STATUS OF POLICEMAN.
Rehearing Of Hile's Case by the Com
rnissioners

It b probable that the District Commis-
sioners Will have to retract again In the
matter Of Furnishing policemen for alleged
misconduct or neglect Of duty. This time
the case Is that of Joseph 3. lille, who
was tried before the police trial board on
charges of permitting the escape OF one
William Burge, prisoner. being held to
await trial for murder. The trial board
found Hile guilty and recommended fine
be imposed. The Commissioners thought
the matter over. and, 1t Is said upon the
recommendation of Major Sylvester, order
ed Hile's removal from the force.
The police regulations, and the order Gre
ating the police trial board, provide that all
accused policemen shall have the right OF
appeal to the board of District Commission
ers. Hile was somewhat taken aback to
find that he had been dismissed instead Of
fined. and forthwith consulted with his at
torneys, Messrs. Lambert & Baker. The re-
suit was that the attorneys demanded an
appeal for their client, which was most re-
.spectfully declined, according to Mr.. LAM
bert.
Then the attorneys appealed to the courts
and In due course of events procured writ
of mandamus compelling the Commissioners
to listen to Hile's appeal.
Yesterday afternoon the Commissioners
gathered in the board room and gave ear
to Policeman Hile and his attorney. Mr..
Lambert told the Commissioners first that
they had no right to increase or alter the
penalty prescribed by the trial board, and
second that while the prisoner had escaped
while under Hile's care, Hile had pursued
the prisoner until he captured him again.
No period Of inactivity having elapsed be-
tween the escape. the pursuit and the re-
capture, Mr.. Lambert could not where
any real escape had been effected.
The argument continued along this line.
and subsequently the president of the board
Of Commissioners announced that while the
Commissioners would not officially an
nounce their decision until after full con-
sideration of all facts and arguments made,
1t was safe to say that the punishment will
be reduced from dismissal from the force to
a fine. Whereupon Mr.. Lambert and Mr..
Hile left the District building pleased with
the outcome
