Ossining, x. Y., June I3.-A. T. Patrick. who has been in the death house here since April, 1902, was to have been executed next week had not new stay of execution been granted. Patrick was not in a des- pendent mood to-day over the refu- sal of Recorder Goff to grant him a new trial. When Warden Johnson visited Patrick's cell this morning he found the condemned man busily en- gagged preparing an application to a United States circuit judge for a writ of error.
 Patrick coolly suggested to the warden that the latter defer his ar- engagements for carrying out the death sentence. explaining that the filing of his petition in the United States court would in all probability act as a further stay. The warden. however, told Patrick he would have to go on with his arrangements un. less he was stopped by an order of the court.
 Well. of course. you can do that. said Patrick. but I merely wanted to give you my legal view of the case and perhaps save you some trouble. "
