MAKES STARTLING CHARGES.
Appeal Of Lawyer Patrick, Convicted
Of Numbering Millionaire Rice,
Is Sensational.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The motion
OF Albert T. Patrick. the New York
lawyer who is serving a life sentence
in the prison at Sing Sing on the
charge of numbering the Texas million
aire, Rice, for an appeal from the
United States circuit court of New
York, denying him a writ of habeas
corpus and which is supposed to have
been prepared by Patrick himself will
probably be presented to the supreme
court of the United States today.
Patrick's brief accompanying the
motion is couched i'm strong language
and some of the accusations are sen
sational. He declares that he Is IN
prison as a result OF the arbitrary ex.
ercise of power by the governor OF
New York, who was then Mr.. Higgins:
that the court which tried his case
was without jurisdiction and hence
that he was illegally convictcd' He
calls attention to the division in the
New York court of appeals in his case
says that Justice OBrien in the dis
senting opinion held that conviction
having been procured by an unfair
trial was not warranted by law, and
asserts that in 1906 pending the hear
ing by the trial Judge of motion for
new tria' upon newly discovered ev.
idence, the legislature passed bill
subsequently vetoed by the governor)

expected adverse decision OF such mo.
tion. such action being in effect leg.
islative vote of want OF confidence in
the fairness of said Judge"
Patrick also makes grave charges
against the management OF Sing Sing
prison. Alleging that he Is suffering
from complication of grave diseases
he says he cannot obtain efficient and
sympathetic medical treatment in the
prison. He charges that the prison is
conducted with the intent OF injuring
the prisoners mentally. morally and
physically, generally to their utter
ruin, under color of arbitrary rules en-.
forced at discretion, whereby tho pris
on authorities hold an arbitrary and
irresponsible control over the prison.
