Sentenced in 1902 for the Murder Of Millionaire
William Marsh Rice, By SkiIful Maneuver-
ing He Has Thus Far Eyaded the
Hands Of the Executioner.

New York.-Take the average MUIR
derer. Sentenced to die, he bows to
the seeming inevitable. Like thing
whose spirit has already crossed the
border-line, from life to death, he
mechanically waits for the end, some
times moaning, sometimes praying,
but always waiting-waiting for the
eXecutioner to beckon him forth.
Nowhere can more striking con-
trast to the above be found than in
the amazing and even brilliant fight
of Lawyer Albert T. Patrick against
the law, his own stock in trade, says
the New York World
Arrested in February, 1901, for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, an
eccentric old millionaire who had
been found dead five months pre-
yiously under suspicious circum-
stances in his apartments at No. 500
Madison avenue, Patrick was tried,
found guilty and sentenced to die in
the electric chair in the week of May
8, 1902. More than four years have
passed since then, and yet Patrick
is still very much alive, and actually
has a 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
on June IL by Justice Day. This
writ was granted at Canton, O., with.
in six days of the time set for Pat

MED. Patrick then made a public ap.
peal for "a square deal" This was on
December 90. Time was getting short
and Patrick's resources seemed ex-
hausted
AS a result of Patrick's appeal many
petitions reached Gov. Higgins on De-
cember 30, asking him to save Patricks
life. Patrick followed these with an
other appeal to the governor for 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 new trial on
the grounds of newly discovered evil
dence. His fight for a new trial began
before Recorder Golf on February 81
and ended disastrously, one of the Tex
|
Jail for perjury.
On March II, one week from the date
of execution, Patrick received another
reprieve, this time to May II, and on
May IA, with the day of execution one
week away once more, Gov. Higgins
granted further respite to June IS.
Gov Higgins dealt Patrick hard
blow on May 80 by vetoing Legislative
bill passed at Albany which would have
permitted him to obtain easily a new
trial on the grounds of newly discov.
cred evidence
Another very hard blow came or
June II, when Recorder Golf handed
down decision denying Patrick's mo.
ton for new trial. Patrick apparent.
ly had reached his last ditch. He was
to die within week.
But on June IL a writ of error was
granted on his application to the Unit.
ed States supreme court. This acted as
a stay of execution and is not returna,
bic until the October term of court.
In his prolonged fight Patrick ha.
had the assistance of many celebrated
attorneys, but almost every move made
has been at his own suggestion or tina
of Attorney Bell Thomas, who has beer
his most constant adviser.
Public sentiment in New York ma!
been great factor in the case. Tha
Rice was murdered has been proved be
You'd all doubt, but many believe tn,
millionaire's valet, Jones was the as
sassin. Both Patrick and Jones bene
flied in a pecuRiary way through tn,
death of Rice.
During his stay in Jail Patrick ha
made himself the idol of the prisoners
acting as their legal adviser in man,
cases. His knowledge of the law 4
profound, and many a criminal, 1t 4
alleged, has attained his libert,
through clever technicalities devised b,
Patrick. The states attorneys offic
would be glad to have him liberated o
the death sentence, so long delayed
carried out
The case shows as perhaps never be
fore in criminal history how easily
man of resources can evade punish
nlent for his misdeeds.

days from the date of Rice's death
and finally, on October a, Patrick
and Rice's valet, Charles F. Jones,
were arrested, not on charge of
murder, but for forgery connected
with Rice's will and $4,000 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
endeavoring to get somebody to bail
them out, the police and coroner
worked hard to solve the murder mys-
terry. On October 81 the result of
the analysis of Rice's body was an
nounced showing that the aged mil
lionaire had been poisoned.
Had Been Poisoned.
Next the police turned their at
tention to Valet Jones. They third
degreed" him for thee days, and then
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 po-
lice doctors stitched up the cash
and saved him for further confess
sions.
Then, suddenly, on February 25,
Patrick made his first move to get
out The bail, $4,000, necessary to

liminary examination, he was hold for
the grand jury, and on April a5 that
body returned an indictment against
Patrick, charging him with murder
in the first degree. Next day Pat
rick was formally arraigned before
Recorder Goff and remanded for
trial.
On October IA, when more than a
year had passed since the death Of
Rice, Patricli's lawyers went into
court and made a motion for their
clients release on the ground that
two trial terms had passed without
the district attorney bringing Patrick
to trial. This motion was denied.
Patrick was placed on trial for his
life on the following January 20.
Postponements came on February A
and 5, owing to the illness OF Juror
John ID. Campbell, and it was not UNI
til March &c that the trial ended
with Patrck's conviction. lmme'

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 Z, and after denying the
motion for a 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 a stay of execution,
and the dreaded week of May passed
with Patrick still alive.
A delay of almast three years fol-
lowed, during which Patrick success
fully checkmated every move made
to end his life.
Patricks 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 a 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
it 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 a motion for new
trial. On November 2G the hearing
of the motion before Recorder Gofl
was postponed until Decmeber 5. The
year 1902 closed with Patrick wait
ing in his cell for Recorder Golf tC
decide whether he would grant the
motion for a new tial or not.
New Years day, 1908, found Patricl
anticipating an unfavorable decision
from Recorder Golf by preparing ar
appeal from the anticipated decision
February 9 passed without the record
ers decision being announced. and
the court of appeals granted PatricF
an extension Of time under which II
file his appeal if necessary.
On March 2 Recorder Golf denied
the motion for a new trial. Patrick
Immediately filed his notice Of appeal
and nothing more could be 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 {
new appeal for presentation to thu
court of appeals for new hearing ant
argument. This time it took the cour
of appeals just three days to decide
against Patrick's newest move. o.
June II his application was refused ant

to death had already been commenced
at Sing Sing. 1t was the closest shave
Patrick ever had.
When Millionaire Rice was found
dead in his apartments at No. 500
Madison avenue, on September 20,
1900, there was absolutely no suspi-
cion that his lawyer, Patrick, had muir
dered him. Not until four days later,

was formally charged with the MUIR

Events in Patrick's case came swift

BIG ENOUGH AND NEAR ENOUGH

BIG ENOUGH And NEAR ENOUGH
Yesterday morning at 2;SO there was
a little earthquake at Barton's ledge in
Connecticut It got mentioned in the
stock market news, though it didn't
check the rise in prices. and the account
of it was telegraphed all over the coun-
try, and to foreign lands,
Although this earthquake was a lit
tie one and not near any of Connect
cuts populous and rich cities, it was
big enough and near enough. Connec-
ticut is not in "the earthquake belt"
and we all feel that there Is no great
danger in living here on account of the
probability of damaging earthquake.
But Of course we don't know, and no.
body knows where or when the earth
will next shake in a way to bring
death and disaster. Everybody is a lit
tie sensitive about earthquakes nova
days, and the smaller and farther off
they are the better everybody will feel.

a LITTLE TOO SMART.

There is, 1t often appears, such a
thing as being a little too smart. In
1880 the United States exported 80, 00O,-
900 pounds of butter and 10000, 900
pounds of cheese. Twenty-Five years
later, in the calendar year 1905, this
country exported 100000 pounds Of
butter and 100000 pounds Of cheese.
The explanation given of this tremend-
GUS decline, Notwithstanding the in
creased demand abroad, is that it was
due to the methods followed by some
American exporters, who shipped adul-
terated butter, sold oleomargarine for
butter, and used similar methods in the
expectation of cheese. In support of
this theory the fact is cited that the
Canadian government did not permit
such conduct by its people, and that as
a result Canada last year exported to
the United Kingdom alone 32,717,1O4
pounds of butter and rs per cent. of the
274 100000 pounds of cheese which Great
Britain bought in that year. The Unit
ed States figures for the calendar year
1905 show an export of only 6,271, 221
pounds of cheese to the United King
dom, as compared with 17159,S11 pounds
in 1904, and still larger exports in 1908.
Perhaps honesty may not always be
the most profitable policy for a short
period, but in the long run It can hold
it's own.

MANY MoRE rREEs SOON.

Only few years ago the prospect for
trees in the United States was decided
" discouraging. Now they are looking
UP. and will soon be growing up. Seven
different States now have eight forest
experiment stations, established during
last year, for cooperation between the
Federal Forest Service and State for
est commissions and agricultural col
leges. These stations are designed to
meet the growing demand for detailed
information on the propagation Of for
est trees in various regions. Arrange
ments have been made for experimental
forest planting in cooperation with the
New York State Forest, Fish and Game
Commission, at Saranac Inn in the Adj
rondacks; with the Michigan Forestry
Commission, at Roscommon; with the
University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor
with Berea College, Kentucky; with
the State Agricultural College, Ken
lucky; with the State Agricultural Col
leges at Ames, Iowa, Fargo, North
Dakota, and Agricultural College, Mis-
sissippi, and with the sub-station Of the
University of Nebraska, at North
Platte. The work contemplated needs
constant expert supervision, and great
care has been exercised to limit the sta
lions to regions where additional data
on forest planting are needed. Most of
the stations are at institutions where
regular courses in forestry are given,
and the work is directed by the forester
in charge.
Good work. The United States evil
IDENTIFY isn't as foolish as some have
thought it. But it certainly has been
careless with its trees.

The force and value of a good exam
pie are seen in the progress made with
in the last seven years in the utiliza-
ton of hydraulic power for the gener-
alton of electricity in northern Italy. A
line twenty-five miles long, opened in
1898 by the Edison company, was prac-
tically the first important venture of it's
kind in that part of the world. 1t
brought to the city of Milan 1900
horsepower from the river AIDA. At
the close Of 1905 not less than 1885, 900
electrical horsepower, derived from
mountain streams, had been made
available. Additional works now under
construction will probably raise the to-
tai to 225,00O or 100000 horsepower dur
ing the current year. These results
have been achieved in part by corpor-
ations, in part by communities which
have acted for themselves, and in part
by private manufacturers who wished
to procure power at the cost price. Big
cities, towns of moderate size and even
small villages in Lombardy and Pied
mont are now proflting by the example
set by the Edison company.
That's better than if tue Edison COM
pany had conquered northern Italy by
Staying its inhabitants and laying 1t
waste. But of course it would have had
more 'glory" if it had been military
hero.
