ITO James r. Keene, owner of the famous
race horse Sysonby.l
I'm only a stable boy. sir. Never knew
nothin' but horse.
I but rub '2m and grub 'em and bed 'em
and have nothin' to do on the course.
But. say. there are horses and horses:
they differ like human kind
And you know without any one telling
when the right kind of critter you
find.
My horse knew his owner and trainer;
he'd give them his whinny and nose
When they patted and stroked him. They
loved him; he knew it; that goes.
But when they had trained him and timed
him they brought him back to me.
And 1 rubbed him and grubbed him and
bed him and slept in his stall, don't
yer see?
He knew little of Jock, with his Jacket
who suddenly jumped on his back,
Let him loose at the post and with whip
and spur had a two minute spin on
the track.
When the race was off and the mount
was off 1t was back to the stable
And he left his swell friends in the pad
dock; he was glad to see me, his old
pard.
And he'd tell me just what he wanted.
What, can horses talk?
OF course; you might just as well ask me
can horses run or walk.
They can talk with their hoofs when they
want to: talk with their eyes when
they're kind.
And-I hope you won't think I am jok-
ing-they can talk with their ears
when they're blind
Well, owner and trainer and jockey. may

On November 10 Patrick asked the
court Of appeals to amend the record

denied. Matters began to look grave.
On July 6 Justice Rogers called Pat

of the supreme court and sentenced
him to die in the week beginning Janu

a personal appeal to Gov. Higgins for
stay of execution. The appeal was de-

MED. Patrick then MADE public ap-
peal for "a square deal" This was on
December 90. Time was getting short
and Patrick's resources seemed ex-
hausted.
AS result of Patricx's appeal many
petitions reached Gov. Higgins on De-
cember 30, asking him to save Patrick's
life. Patrick followed these with an
other appeal to the governor for a stay
OF execution, but this, too, the COVER
nor refused to grant.
When January Is came and Patrick's
execution was only distant seven days,
the governor granted Patrick an extern
sion to March 10 in order that he might
present the testimony of the Texan wit
nesses who came to New York city la
ter to tell what Valet Jones had told
them about Patrick's innocence.
Patrick waited until February IS be-
fore filing his motion for 4 new trial on
the grounds of newly discovered evil
dence. His fight for a new trial began
before Recorder Golf on February 21
and ended disastrously, one of the Tex
an witnesses being arrested and sent to
Jail for perjury.
On March ~, one week from the date
of execution, Patrick received another
reprieve, this time to May Il, and on
May IA, with the day of execution one
week away once more, Gov. Higgins
granted further respite to June 49,
Gov. Higgins dealt Patrick hard
blow on May 80 by vetoing legislative
bill passed at Albany which would have
permitted him to obtain easily new
trial on the grounds of newly discov-
cred evidence.
Another very hard blow came on
June IL, when Recorder Goff handed
down a decision denying Patrick's mo-
ton for a new trial. Patrick apparent
| Iy had reached his last ditch. He was
to die within week.
But on June IL writ OF error was
granted on his application to the Unit
stay of execution and is not returna-
BILE until the October term Of court.
In his prolonged fight Patrick has
| had the assistance of many celebrated
attorneys, but almost every move made
has been at his own suggestion or that
of Attorney Bell Thomas, who has been
his most constant adviser.
Public sentiment In New York has
been a great factor In the case. That
Rice was murdered has been proved be-
yond all doubt, but many believe the
millionaire's valet, Jones was the as
sassin. Both Patrick and Jones bene-
flied in a pecuniary way through the
death of Rice.

man of resources can evade punish

OF the jury's verdict of guilty OF
murder in the fist degree" Patrick's
lawyes filed notice of their intention
to appeal from the verdict, and to
move for a new trial.
Sentenced to Die.
Recorder Golf called Patrick to the
bar on April 7, and after denying the
motion for new trial and another
motion for the arrest of judgment,
he sentenced Patrick to die in the
electric chair in the week beginning
May 5.
A notice of appeal was at once filed
with the court of appeals. This acted
temporarily as stay of execution,
and the dreaded week of May passed
with Patrick still alive.
A delay of almost three years fol-
lowed, during which Patrick success
fully checkmated every move made
to end his life.
Patrick's lawyers had six months
from the date of the notice Of appeal
in which to present their case to
the court. The six months expired
on October Z, 1902, but on the day
previous went before the court Of ap-
| peals and asked for an extension to
January Is, within which to file Pat
ricks appeal for new trial.
Two days later the court refused
the application for an extension OF
time.
This left the case in suspense. The
court record stopped with the courts
refusal to extend the time limit,
which, by the way, had already ex-
PRED. The court of appeals, although
1t had stopped the execution of Pat
rick, had no Jurisdiction to fix new
date for carrying out the sentence.
Things were at standstill.
Patrick broke the ice on November
II, 1902, by filing motion for new
I trial. On November &c the hearing
Of the motion before Recorder Goff
was postponed until Decmeber 5. The
year 1902 closed with Patrick wait
ing in his cell for Recorder Goff to
decide whether he would grant the
motion for new tial or not.

appeal from the anticipated decision.

On March 2 Recorder Con- denied
the motion for a new trial. Patrick
Immediately filed his notice Of appeal
and nothing more could he done to-
ward carrying out the death sentence
for another six months at least.
The court of appeals the following
June decided against Patrick, refusing
to grant a new trial and Affirming the
judgment of conviction.
Two days later Patrick prepared a
new appeal for presentation to the
court Of appeals for new hearing and
argument. This time 1t took the court
Of appeals just three days to decide
against Patrick's newest move. On
June IA his application was refused and

body returned an indictment against
Patrick, charging him with murder

rick was formally arraigned before

year had passed since the death Of
Rice. Patrick's lawyers went into

clients release on the ground that

Patrick was placed on trial for his
life on the following January 20.

Of Lawyer Albert T. Patrick against

Arrested In February, 1901. for the
murder Of William Marsh Rice, an
.croentric old millionaire who had
been found dead five months pre-
viously under suspicious circum-
stances In his apartments at No. 500
Madison avenue, Patrick was tried,
Ionnd guilty and sentenced to die in
the electric chair in the week of May
3, 1902. More than four years have
passed since then, and yet Patrick
is still very much alive, and actually
has longer lease of life ahead Of
him now than he had on April Z, 1902,
when the grim death sentence was
pronounced for the first time upon
him.
Dangerously near to the dead-line,
Patrick has been forced time after
time, but by skillful maneuvering he
has evaded the executioner's hand
and obtained another respite. AS the
case now stands, Patrick is safe at
least until next October, when the
United States supreme court will
pass upon the writ of error granted

writ was granted at Canton, o., with

days from the date of Rice's death
detectives began to shadow Patrick,
and finally, on October A, Patrick
were arrested, not on a charge of
murder, but for forgery connected
with Rice's will and a $25 900 check
which Patrick had tried to cash after
Rice's death.
On the day following their arrest,
Patrick and Jones were held in $780,
900 bail each on the forgery charge.
The bail was purposely placed at that
high figure, in order that the two
prisoners might be detained while
the investigation of the circum.
stances surrounding the mysterious
death of Mr.. Rice could be probed.
Then, while Patrick and Jones were
them ont, the police and coroner
worked hard to solve the murder mys-
terry. On October 81 the result OF
the analysis of Rices body was an
nounced, showing that the aged mill
lionaire had been poisoned.

Next the police turned their at.

he told them what they already sus-
pected Patrick had murdered Rice.
Two days later Jones made a still
more detailed confession shouldering
all the guilt on Patrick to save his
own neck. Having done that, Jones
cut his throat in prison, but the pc.

Then, suddenly, on February 25
Patrick made his first move to get

rick had already left his cell and was
almost free, when orders came to re-
fuse the bail and put Patrick back
in his cell. Two days later Patrick
was formally charged with the MUIR
der of Rice and held without bail
pending q hearing.
Events In Patrick's case came swift
ly after this. On April Jones de-
clared that Patrick had admitted to
his lawyers in Jones' presence, that
he had killed Rice. On April IL Pat
rick was remanded on the charge Of
murder. Four days later, at q pre-

MEN OF HIGHEST ABILITY AND INTEGRITY.

There is no doubt that the new law raises the
standard of the commission and in the future men
selected for will have to be of the highest ability
and integrity. In the past this co omission has
at times been regarded as a very convenient place
in which to land some lame duck or political
has been who had failed OF reelection to some
other public Office. For some years it had boon
considered as a convenient harbor of refuge for
politicians and regarded the legitimate
patronage of the big political leaders.
This has changed now and with the added re-
sponsibility provided for by the new law men of
the highest grade will have to be selected. 1t is
fortunate that the members of the old commission
of five not disturbed, but will go right
along serving out their terms. These five gen

made of the intention Of three fOur OF the
cabinet members actively to engage in this years

looks to the people to indorse it and particularly
to indorse the policies which congress enacted
into law on his recommendation. The president
despite all that has been said and written about
his reform ideas, is pretty good party man and
is honest enough to express the hope that a Re-

going into the campaign, and II is not improb-

THE NATIONAL EXPOSITION IDEA.

Congress has become resigned to the national
exposition idea 1t has gone deep into these
enterprises in the past that every proposition
to celebrate some great event by national ex-
position is pretty certain to meet with support
and favor. Preparations are under way for
a fair which is to be the celebration of the found
ing of jamestown, the three hundredth anniver-
sary of which will occur next May. Speaker Cam
non, who is of an economical turn of mind, tried
to check the granting of government aid to this
enterprise, but national expositions are somewhat
in the nature of public buildings when It comes
to getting aid from congress They are made
part of log rolling scheme and combinations are
formed that always insure the enterprises being
indorsed.
