with Patrick's conviction Imme-
diately following the announcement
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 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
he sentenced Patrick to die in the
electric chair in the week beginning
May 5.
Patrick was now within four weeks
of the dead line. He began fight
for his life, which, although four
years have elapsed since then, is by
no means ended.
He fought against the powerful le-
gal machinery dragging him toward
the dead line, breaking away time
after time but only as far as the
length of chain which holds him Sc
cure.
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 almost three years fol
lowed, during which Patrick success
fully checkmated every move made
to end his life.
Five great volumes of testimony
involving more than 5000 pages OF
printed matter, had been taken dur
ing the murder trial. For the prop
er presentation of Patrick's appeal
before the court of appeals it was
necessary to prepare all this testi
mony for the printers in narrative
form, and the wording had to be
agreed upon by the lawyers on both
sides. Then new briefs had to be
prepared, and all this took up con-
siderable time.
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
rick's 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-
pired. The court of appeals, although
it had stopped the execution of Pat
rick, had nc 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
trial. On November 20 the hearing
of the motion before Recorder Golf
was postponed until Decmeber 5. The
year 1902 closed with Patrick wait
ing in his cell for Recorder Golf to
decide whether he would grant the
motion for a new tial or not.
New Years day, 1908, found Patrick
anticipating an unfavorable decision
from Recorder Golf by preparing an
appeal from the anticipated decision.
February passed without the record
er's decision being announced. and
the court of appeals granted Patrick
an extension of time under which to
file his appeal if necessary.
On March Recorder Goff denied
the motion for a new trial. Patrick
Immediately fled his notice of appeal,

HAS MADE THE LAW A PLAYTHING

Hands of the Executioner.

| learn that he was a. suspect. Six
days from the date of Rice's death
detectives began to shadow Patrick,
and finally, on October 4, 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 bali 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.
Had Been Poisoned.
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 q the result of
the analysis of Rice's body was an
nounced, showing that the aged mil
lionaire 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 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 %,
Patrick made his first mo We to get
out. The bail, $4,000, necessary to
liberate him, was produced, and Pat
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 a hearing.
Events in Patrick's case came swift
ly after this. On April Jones de-
cIared that Patrick had admitted to
his lawyers in Jones' presence, that
he had killed Rice. On April II Pat
rick was remanded on the charge of

murder. Four days later, at a pre-
liminary examination, he.was held for
the grand jury, and on April % that
body returned an indictment against
Patrick, charging him with murder
in the first degree. Next day Pat
rick was formally arraigned before
Recorder Golf and remanded for
trial.
Then it was Patrick's turn to move.
On May 10 his lawyers attacked the in
iictment and asked for Patrick's re-
lease. This move failed. Exactly
one month later Patrick entered q
plea of not guilty and prepared for
his trial.

In the ninth Mulaney got busy with
