Albert T. Patrick will not give his con-
sent to Lawyer Frederick B.. House telling
about a confession which Patrick is said
to have made in the Tombs admitting
that he killed william Marsh Rice. AL
though advised by his counsel, w. NJ. K.
Olcott, that he should let Mr.. House waive
his privilege and tell the story, Patrick
steadfastly persists in a refusal.
"a This statement was made by Mr.. Olcott
to Recorder Golf yesterday, when the
hearing on Patrick's motion for a new trial
came up again. Charles F. Jones, Rice q
valet, testified at Patrick's trial that the
story he told then about the murder of
Rice was the same as a confession made
( by Patrick, in Jones's presence, 70 Lawyer
& House, who was then counsel for both
Patrick and Jones.
District Attorney jerome said that il
Patrick would let Mr.. House testify he
would go to every extreme to get any wit
nesses that Patrick wanted.
Mr.. jerome announced when the hearing
began that he was ready to proceed with
the examination Of Witnesses, and called
q for John T. Miliken, Pateick's brother-in-
law, who made an affidavit in the case.
Mr.. Milliken says he has spent S50,0O0 in
getting evidence for Patrick and has prac-
tically had charge of getting Texans to
come here and testify. Nir. 0lcott said that
Milliken was not in court.
Then ] call for Alexander Stanherry,F
said Mr.. jerome.
'He il not here this afternoon, ' sand Mr..
Olcott, "as the District Attorney we'll SHOWS"
lido not know" SAID MIR Jerome. Stan
berry is a co rporal in the Thirteenth United
States Infantry. now in the Philippines.
The United States Government granted an
order sending Stannerry 10 this country
20 that he could testify in this case. His
testimony, I believe, Will throw some light
on the testimony OF other witnesses
Mr., Olcott said he was sorry but Stan,
berry was at Governors Island. He said
he had two other witnesses whom he wanted
examined at once. One was a court stem
ographer in Houston and the other was eX-
Chief of Police Blackburn of Houston, whose
time was very valuable. In order to faciIi-
tate matters Mr. Olcott said he would with
draw Stanherry's affidavit. Mr.. Jerome
protested.
Information has been laid before me-
he said, which show thatlt is of The gravest
Importance that S~tanberry should be exam
med. / cannot examine the other wit
neeses until | have heard ~Stanberry. OF
course l cannot tell in advance what Stan
berry will testify 10, but ] have reason to be-
tbrou;ng ligbt on MS "a
