CITIZENS PLEAD
FOR PATR|CK'S LIFE
CLEVELAND AND OTHERS SUB
SCRIBE TO PETITION.
PRAY GOVERNOR TO ACT
Set Forth Especially That There Is
Reasonable Doubt of euilt, BRING
Up Testimony Favorable TO Con.
demned Lawyer Murderer and At.
tack Damaging Evidence.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. S.-Governor Hig-
gins received yesterday a petition for
the exercise of executive clemency in
the case of Albert T. Patrick, the New
York lawyer, under sentence to die in
the week beginning January %, for the
murder of the aged millionaire William
Marsh Rice
The petition is signed by nearly 100
well known persons, including lawyers,
physicians and chemists, clergymen
and laymen, and is based upon the
ground that there is reasonable doubt
of his guilt.
1t is especially set forth that the
coroner's physician who made the au.
topsy Immediately after the death gave
it as his opinion that Rice died of nat
ural causes and old age, but subse-
quently on the witness stand declared
that he had been killed by chloroform:
that the subsequent examination of the
body, which formed the basis of testi.
mony adverse to Patrick, was made
after the process of embalming which
would effectually destroy all minute
evidences of death either from naturai
causes or chloroform"; that the cone
containing chloroform would probably
have fallen from its position had the
victim been alive; that the self-con-
fessed murderer, Jones, who turned
states evidence, was, in the opinion of
the petitioners, irresponsible, had
made at least four different and con.
Trajectory confessions and was OF
doubtful sanity and unworthy of belief.
The petitioners call attention to the
dissenting opinions of Chief Judge Cul
len and Judge O'Brien against the judg-
ment of the court of appeals affirm.
ing Patrick's conviction.
The signers of the petition include
Grover Cleveland, John G. Carlisle,
former Supreme Court Justice Hatch,
Samuel L. Clemens mark Twain
Allen McLane Hamilton, the well
known alienist; DR.. Austin Flint, head
of Bellevue Medical school, and Rev.
DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst.
Governor Higgins said last night
that he did not know when he would
act upon the matter, but that he did
not expect to give a public hearing.

SAWS WAY TO LIFE
OUT Of A WRECK

St Louis, Jan. 6.-Pinioned under
wreckage resulting from a head-on
collision of two Burlington freight
trains near Wood station, ILL.,, yester-
day, made more complete by the ex-
plosion of the engine boiler and car
load of powder, Engineer Grover Hin
derer of Beardstown, H., with his leg
crushed and held fast, sawed for 40
minutes and finally freed himself and
was pulled out. He was taken to a
hospital at Alton, and it is believed
he will recover. Fireman W. A. An
derson was also seriously injured, but
will probably live. Brakeman Mason,
Frank and George Anderson, We're inn
prisoned in the debris and at first
We're believed to be dead, but finally
were rescued, stunned, but not seri-
ously injured. Rescuers were unable
to release Hinderer and finally passed
to him saw, with which he released
himself. Confusion regarding orders
is said to have caused the wreck.

AMER|CA'S PART
A PEACEFUL ONE

Washington, Jan. Ambassador
Henry White and Minister Gummere
have received. from the state depart,
ment full and final instructions for
their guidance as representatives of
America in the approaching Moroccan
conference which is to be held at AL
geciras, Spain, near Gibraltar. 1t may
be stated on authority that the in
structions were drawn with speciai
reference to the attainment of two OBJ
jects, first the maintenance of the open
door in Morocco, and the second, the
exercise of good officers by this coun,
try directly in the conference to
smooth away asperities and prevent
development of friction between
France and Germany that might jeop-
ardize the worlds peace.
These objects being attained, with
the political future of Morocco this
country has no particular concern, or
at least, 1t Is intimated no such con,
Germ will We manifested in the confer
ence by the American delegates IL it Is
possible for them to maintain a posi-.
ton of neutrality. Touching on the
execution of any agreement reached
by the conference for the regulation of
Moroccan affairs, it is stated it. will
probably be sufficient for the powers
concerned merely to lay before the sui
tan of Morocco the text of their agree.
ment and it will be for him to carry IL
out. What will happen in case one
power refuses to abide by the conclu>
sions reached cannot now be foretold
and 1t Is believed in this contingency
that further Instructions will be neces,
sary for the guidance of the American
delegates. 1t is certain that there Is
no intention on the part of this gov
eminent to enter into any entangline
alliances which would involve the use
of force in combination with other
powers to carry out the agreement, but
the officials here are firmly convinced
that no single power would undertake
to defy the expressed will Of the other
parties to the conference.

were as follows:
Rebel gunboat Independence was
seen last night off Puerto Plata. There

Caceres was apparently successful.
Thirty men were killed and so wound
ed on Caceres' side The loss on the
other side is unknown. Medical as
s.stance is being sent from the Amer

of Rodriguez was a great blow to his
party. Seven American citizens have
been taken aboard the Scorpion.
There were no casualties among the
Americans. Hostilities have ceased .

'In his long and honorable service
Colonel Graham has at all times

country, to the improvement of the

to any one factor is due the high stand

who have answered that they will
comply with the demands of the COM
mon carriers. Until further notice
the Wisconsin commission will be
paid for the service of its employees
in inspecting grain.
Attorneys for the elevator interests
say the original bill did not apply to
the situation in Superior. as their ele-
vators were run as private ware
houses.
They also state that the Wisconsin
grain law. as amended, probably COW
ers all kinds of warehouses, though
doubling its constitutionality, for the
alleged fact that it interferes with
interstate commerce, and does not
apply to other sections of the state
as well as to Superior.

.UPHAM'S DAUGHTER,
GETS A DIVORCE
DECREE GRANTED TO MRS. PHIL
II. SAWYER.
OSHKOSH SOCIAL SHOCK
No lnkline of Divorce Proceedings
Until Judgment Issues from Court
Defendant Grandson of Late SEN
ator Made no Reply and Must Hand
Over $4,000.

Oshkosh, Wis, Jan. S.-Judge Bur-
nell yesterday granted divorce to
Mrs. Carolina Upham Sawyer from
her husband, Phil H. Sawyer, on the
ground of non-support. The court
awarded $4,000 to be paid the plain
tiff as final division of the property of
the couple. Mrs. Sawyer is daugh-
of Marshfield. She has been very
prominent socially in Oshkosh and for
some years was leader of society
events. Mr.. Sawyer is a grandson of
the late United States Senator Saw
yer. His father, Edgar r. Sawyer, as
well as the son himself, are most
prominent in affairs of Oshkosh and
very wealthy.
Mr.. Sawyer, the defendant, made no
reply to the suit, which was quickly
disposed of. However, it is known
that a reply had been drawn up be-
fore the decree was handed down, but
it was withdrawn shortly after with
out coming to the attention of the
court.
The papers in the divorce case
were made out ON December 20, but
not an inkling of their existence es-
capped until yesterday. Besides the
charge of non-support there is not an
other accusation made in the com
plant which itself was totally devoid
of sensational features. There have
been rumors for some months OF
trouble in the family, and it is said
that the real facts in the case are not
known.
II is rumored that just before his
death Senator Sawyer gave a large
sum of money to Mr.. Sawyer. The
custody of the one child goes to the
plaintiff until further order of the
court.

When he has received his commission
he will be placed into the rank of cap
tain and sign the military documents

the custom to appoint an adjutant from
the city wherein the colonel resides.
Captain Joachim is the second Oldest
captain in the first regiment in point
of service, Captain Wilde of Company
d in Milwaukee being first. In view
OF the promotion of Major Stearns to

Lewis of Milwaukee.
Col. Joachim's Orders.
Col. Joachim's first orders are as fol-
lows:

O'Connell, first lieutenant, will doubt
less succeed Mr.. Joachim as captain.

will be elected to the office to be va
Gated by his brother, Lieutenant James

d contest for the second lieutenancy.
Any noncommissioned officer is eligible
and it is likely that sergeant will be
chosen. The sergeants are Martin
Olson, William Smith, Howard w.
Kuhlman and Jacob Wildenmann. The
