of Albert T. Patrick.

The possibilities of persons facilitating crime by
the use of chloroform and various phases Of the
case against Albert 7. Patrick were discussed last
night by the Medico-Legal Society at the May
meeting at the Waldorf-Astor1a Hotel This society
was a prime mover in urging a trial for Pat
rick and has held that he was innocent Of the
capital offence, inasmuch the alleged victim.
William Marsh Rice. came to his death by other
means than by the OF chloroform-
Clark Bell, president Of the society, read long
paper on Can Chloroform Be Used to Facilitate
Crime, Administered to Sleeping Victims" He
held that a man cannot commit murder by the
use Of chloroforrn, but that it is voluntary act
on the part of the victim. The victim must breathe
the drug to be killed, he contended, and if the
victim takes chloroform by any other means II is
not murder.
Referring to the Patrick case. Mr.. Bell told Of a
committee being appointed by the Medico-Legal
Society to investigate the choroform features OF
the case which was unanimous in deciding that
Mr. Rices death due to chlorofOrm was not only
improbable but impossible It was entirely due
n natural causes he said. II there had been muir
der contemplated Rice. although asleep. would
have struggled to throw of the sponge. and Mr..
Bell said. there is evidence OF this. He also
said:
There is not an unprejudiced medical mind in the
world that would believe that II towel, made into
a cone containing sponge saturated with chloro-
1Tbo was asleep that death would ensue il he was
left alone for thirty minutes
