patrick,s Claim to Be Tested j..

Four years after date of his convic-
tion of the murder of William Marsh
Rice, the Texas millionaire, Albert T.
Patrlck's plea that an actual test be
made to prove or disprove his conten-
tion that embalming fluid and not
chloroform was the cause Of the con-
dition of Rice's body was granted last
week.
1t was the office Of District Attorney
Jerome and not the defense of Pat
rick, however, which has undertaken
the investigation which Patrick has
earnestly requested.
Several times during the years In
which Patrick has fought his case with
legal moves directed from the death
chamber in the Sing Sing prison, the
convicted man has begged Of con-
demned prisoners to allow his counsel
to experiment on their bodies after
death in order to disprove that Rice
died from the application of chloro-
form, as Valet Jones testified, and to
prove Patrick's allegation that Rice
died of general debility.
1t was Patrick's contention that the
embalming fluid administered after
Rlce's death produced, and would pro-
duce In another case, conditions such
as physicians who testified in the case
ascribed to chloroform poisoning.
Despite his efforts, however, the
condemned man has been unable to
bring about the experiments.
1t was announced from District At
torney Jerome's Office that the expert
ments to test Patricks theory were be-
gun Thursday under the direction of
that office. Two persons whose bodies
are to be used either in giving Pat
rick his liberty or defeating his efforts
to secure new trial are patients who
died in the Metropolitan hospital a
few days ago and the disposition Of
whose bodies was under the control
of DR.. Louis Schultz of the charities
department of the city, who assigned
them to that use.
The fight to save the life of Albert T.
Patrick, under sentence of death for
the murder of the aged Texas million
aire, William NJ. Rice, was re-
sumed in New York on Tuesday before
Recorder Goff on the motion for new
trial.
Interesting testimony was given by
a number of pathologists as to the
similarity in the effects on human
lungs of chloroform and embalming
fluid The new witnesses from Texas
are expected.

vance-Perkins Arrested-The Week
In Congress.
The disaster at the Courrieres coal
mines near Lens, France, had start
ling sequel on Friday when 13 miners
were taken out alive after hav-
Ing endured unspeakable horrors dur
ings 20 days of entombment
The story of the survivors, so far as
1t has been told, already discloses that
they lived for many days on putrid
horse meat amid total darkness and In
the stencil from scores Of decaying
corpses. The presence of human
flesh would speedily have forced the
starving men to resort to the last des-
perate extremity If their rescue had
not occurred.
The survivors were sturdy young
miners from IL 10 20 years Ol age, eA'
cept their leader, Henri Nemy, who Is
3S years old, although from the terrible
effects of their experience they are
emaciated, exhausted and blinded
The total number of men missing
after the catastrophe was 1882. The
bodies recovered approximately num-
bered 500 and there are still unac'
counted for approximately 700.
Many engineers and scientists agreed
that all in the mine must have died
long ago. Engineer Lauer, however,
dissents, asserting that the salvage
work has been deplorably inefficient,
and he believes that scores died of ex-
haustlon owing to the poor work Of the
salvage companies.

Double Tragedy In Bliss Stables.

In New York Friday David Bur
hans, coachman for Cornelius N. Bliss,
the banker and treasurer of the Repub-
lican national committee, murdered
Thomas Hegerty, his assistant and
groom to Mr.. Bliss, by shooting him
twice Burhans then turned the pistol
upon himself and ended his own life.
Hegerty died soon after being re-
moved to hospital.
The shooting occurred in Mr.. Bliss
private stables in East Thirty-ninth
street. 1t was witnessed only by the
19-year-old son of Burhans, who was
too frightened to interfere. The two
men had been fast friends and the po-
lice have been unable to assign
cause for the crime, other than the
fact that possibly Burhans feared
Hegerty might eventually supplant
him as spachman. Burhans had been
employed by Mr.. Bliss for IL years.
He was a native of Kingston, N. Y.
Both men had large families.
