Prosecution Spent Millions"

''AIr. Patrick's trial on the charge Of
murder was only determined upon when
it became apparent 10 the real 'cOnspir-
ators' in this case that the forgery
charges had no terrors for man who
had never signed a name except his own
to any document or writing in his life.
Murder was also the only charge that
was not bailable, and ppOn which he
could be kept in prison. and thus pre-
vented from facing his enemies and
proving the will and all other documents
executed in furthcrance of the trust he
had assumed for William " Rice to be
genuine, as they are. The fun signif-
canoe Of DIT. Hamilton remarks. as

the prosecution, will be appreciated

estate two million dollars 10 railroad
Mr.. Patrick 10 Sing Sing. and 10 silence

The jury was never kept separated

every opportunity 10 meet the jurors II
they 80 desired, and 20 help convince
them Of the guilt Of The prisoner at the
bar. To my knowledge. two OF these
same Jurors were represented to US as
ready 10 vote for acquittal for the sum
Of $500. The defense refused 70 be bled,
and one OF the two was afterward over
