of William Marsh Rice, was committed
to life Imprisonment at Sing Sing, APP
peared today before the appellate divi-
sion of the supreme court in Brooklyn to
argue that. within the law, he has al
ready suffered death, and thus has paid
his debt To the state in full, and should
be set free
Patrick contends that the solitary CON
Gnement preceding clectrocution has
been held by the nitcd States supreme
court to be part If the penalty decreed
in Il death sentence, He served that
time in full and now makes the point
that. when the court Of appeals reat-
frmed the decision Of the court Of con
VlctiOn ana set Il new date for execution,
it tranSgrcSsod his constitutional right in
ordering him to serve another period
of solitary confinement thereby dupll-
eating punishment he had already sur
fcred.
The failure Of the warden to electro

Of the court, Patrick argues, was clear
ly an act of nonfcaSanCe.
Patrick was not ready to proceed with
his argument today and the proceedings
before the appellate division in his case
were brief At his request the matter
was adjourned to Thursday of this week.
Patrick was remaudcd to the care OF
