HIS MOTION is
NOW BEFORE G0FF
WITNESSES ARE TEsTIFYlNe IN
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL FOR
ALBERT 7. PATRICK.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Feb. 19.-Before Record.
er Gof in general session today the
hearing of witnesses was begun in
the motion for a new trial for Albert
T. Patrick, convicted and sentenced
for the murder of William Marsh
Rice, the aged Texas millionaire.
More than thirty witnesses are to be
heard. Among them are some of the
best known physicians and patholo-
gists in the country, who declare that
Rice's death could not have been
caused by chloroform. The prospect
is that the hearing will last for
many days and that the outcome will
decide the fate. once for all. of
the man who has fought OF death for
five years under circumstances that
seemed all but hopeless.
Patrick's lawyers will ask for the
postponement of the final decision on
the motion for a new trial until the
arrival here of Corporal Alexander
S. Stanbery of the Twelfth United
States Infantry. who is now on his
way from the Philippines. Stanbery
was the predecessor of Jones as sec
rotary and valet for Mr.. Rice He is
the personal friend of Jones. and in
his affidavit, says Jones told him all
his confessions as to the manner of
Rice's death were lies and made to
save his own life.
Should the result of the present
hearing be the refusal of new trial
the defense will apply to the federal
court for a writ Of error, and appli-
cation will then be made to have the
case considered by the United States
supreme court.

AT A STOP
Negotiations for Nata'
torium Are Being
Held Up.

There has been considerable delay
in the matter Of the natatorium the
past few days, due not TO Dr. w. O..
Williams, the promoter, but to local
difficulties. L. P. Isbell is holding
up negotiations. Mr.. Isbell was one
Of the largest stockholders in the
DowningviIle company. He, like the
other stockholders in the company,
turned bis stock over to pr. Williams,
BY his contract with the subscribers
to the bonus the doctor was to build
his natatorium inside thecity limits.
When he began to make arrangements
to do this, however, Mr.. Isbell notiti-
ed him that he would ask for an in-
junction. Mr. Isbell claims that the
consideration for which he turned
over his stock To DR. Williams was
tnat the natatorium should be built
on the west side Of Bull creek. This
would place itcutsidethe city limits,
and the doctor according to his con-
tract could not place IL there
Andthat is the way matters now
stand. The doctor has become rather
discouraged about the prospect, but
The Chieftain has been Informed TO-
day that another site has been ofler'
ed him. and it is possible, therefore
and even If the present deal falls
through the natatorium will be built
The bouns has been raised, and tft
only obstacle to the immediate begi
ing Of the work is the dispute as tt
the location Of the building, whether
on the east or the west side Of tls

Reuben Kirby Of West
vile Has Trouble
With Hubbards.

The following dispatch from West
vile to yesterdays Joplin Globe tells
Of a acarnival Of CRIME in that section
of the country recently
In the shooting atfray on Court
house creek, four miles west OF West
vile, Ernest and Pleas Hubbard,
brothers, were killed by Reuben Kir-
by, the latter being armed with a40-60
Winchester while the victims were
armed with revolyers, one 81 and one
a 38-calibre. Kirby was arrested He
was slightly wounded in the arm, a
bullet having grazed the bone.
The trouble had its origin in the
theft of hog one Of the Hubbard
boys alleging that Kirby had stolen
it, Kirby denied the statement, say
ing that he would have revenge for
the insult.
The battle occurred near Kirbys
home. The men meeting in the road,
began exchanging Shots Kirby alleg-
ing that the Hubbards opened fire
first. Both the Hubbards were killed
almost instantly. Kirby is consider
ed the best marksman in the Indian
Territory. He was arrested by Depu-
ty United States Marshal G.. K. Marrs.
Ernest Hubbard was about "a years
of age and is survived by a family.
Pies Hubbard was about 2l years Of
age and single. Kirby is married and
is the father Of large family. He Is
38 years old.
The brother of Reuben Kirby, last
week was shot in the face and badly
wounded by the l2-year-old son of Mr..
Reyis, the lad coming to the rescue Of
his father when Kirby was beating
him over the head with a single-tree,
Kirby, it is alleged, killed Reyis
dog because the latter insisted Oh
barking at him. Revis resented The
killing of the dog by assaulting Kirby
the latter defending himself withthe
single-tree. When the little son saw
his father getting the worst Of ths
combat lie ran for a shotgun anC
pointing it in Kirby's face, pulled tht
trigger 1t happened that the CUR
was lightly loaded, otherwise Kirby
would undoubtedly have been killed
as he received the full force Of th'
charge in the side of the head.
Several full-blood Indians becam,
involved in a drunken brawl near thl
spot where the Hubbard Iboys wer'
killed, the result being that an Indlal
named Wolf was killed, rifle bal
piercing his heart, while another In
dian named Proctor was shot through
the head and is not expected to live
Several Of the other Indians wer
more or less injured.

He then took up the Darln queSUlOn,
one on which he is most thoroughly
posted, and has statistics galore at his
fingers ends. He explained that the
fundamental difference between the
Republican and Democratic positions
on the tariff is that the former believe
in tariff for protection aud the lat
ter in one for revenue.
"The tariff" he said, twill be the
great question in the coming cam
paign." He expressed certainty that
the Democrats, on this issue, would
carry the fall elections, and in that
case frankly admitted that he would
be candidate for speaker of the
house, and expects to be elected. IF
I'm not speaker" he said, "Ill be
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, and as such have charge OF the
preparation Of the tariff BILL He
said he wanted the votes Of Okla
homas five Democratic congressman
for speaker.
He then reviewed briefly the de-
mand for tariff revision in such Re-
publican states as Massachusetts and
Iowa, contending however, that the
voters never would be able to secure
revision until they vote the Demo
cratic ticket
| He paid high tribute to Governor
| Cummins Of Iowa, quoting extensively
from his speeches. He predicted that
| Cummins would carry a majority OF
the votes for delegates in the present
contest for the Republican nomination

state committee would then be nomi'
mated by the tarllf-reyision Repuhli,
cans, endorsed by The Democrats anc
elected governor for the third term.
Mr.. Clark irst"nced several exam
pies of goods, manufactured in the
| United States, sold more cheaply il
foreign countries than here at home
Especially he pointed to agricultural
implements, for which tho American
farmer must pay a greater price thar
is charged the Australian or Argen
tine farmer, and yet is compelled t
sell his wheat in Europe in competi
tion with Australian and Argentine
wheat.
He mentioned Bryan as being Ger
tain to be the next president "W'
we're defeated in 1896 by the Republi
can corruption fund, said Mr.. Clark
and in 1900 because the Republican
had just conducted a victorious war
In 1904 we were defeated because Par
ker sent that telegram to the conven
tion, and if he had sent another
wouldn't have been able to carry m.

In closing, he urged his hearers t.

secure lower taxes, a cessation Of th

HOGS TO GO'KILLEDTWO.
No More Maythe Pork
er Remain in the
City Limits

The arrest and conviction yesterday
of w. NJ. Adair, colored, a guard at
the United States jail, for maintain
ing nuisance in keeping pigs inside
the city limits, bids fair to open a
crusade against the housing Of the
gentle hog within the city OF
Vinita. Adair was arrested at
the complaint Of John Chouteau.
He was tried before a jury, the
prosecution being conducted by
City Attorney Smith, and was con-
victed and fined sl2, notwithstand-
ing that several witnesses swore that
his pig-pen was we'll kept.
City Attorney Smith announced, in
prosecuting Adair that he had no de-
sire to convict him more than any
other man who is maintaining like
nuisance, but that in his opinion pigs
should not be allowed inside the city
limits. Adair, after having been
found guilty, swore out warrants for
the arrest of several other citizens
who have been keeping pigs, and said
he would have more coming. The
pig, evidently, is doomed to 60.
There was big howl here when the
stock law was first passed, forbidding
stock to roam at large, and there will
doubtless be another wall if pigs are
to be banished. They are decidedly
unsanitary, however, and from the
action taken in the Adair case it is
evident that thecitizens, as represent
ed on the jury consider them nui'
sances Therefore the hog must 60
