HE QUITS PRISON
TO SEEK FREEDOM
PATRICK LEAVES SING SING TO
ARGUE IN COURT.
For second Time Lawyer, Serving
Life Sentence for Murder, Is Al
lowed to Appear in Court

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.--For the sec
ond time this week, Albert T Patrick,
the lawyer serving life sentence in
Sing Sing for the murder OF William
Mars b Rice, emerged yesterday from
prison secluslon to renew fighting for
freedom.
Tie prison lawyer undismayed BY
the failure OF his repeated attempts
TO secure his release from prison, had
a new point to urge upon the judges
of the appellate division Of the su-
prenle Court In Brooklyn. He con-
tends that he has already virtually
suffered part of the penalties of the
death sentence, through confinement
IN the death house before his re-
prieye was granted. There is no le-
gal Justification for placing him
again in jeopardy for the same Of
Tense, he asserts.
Patrick appeared before the appel
late division with his counsel, VII
liam L. Mcdonald, but made his argu-
ment In person He recIted the his
tory OF his case. and went over the
ground of his former objections to
a Communication OF his sentence by Gov
ernor Hughes, which he said was
against his wishes and without his
consent
Taking up his new point, Patrick
declared that absolutely nothing had
been done either to carry out the
sentence OF execution or TO set aside,
except through a stay granted by
Justice o'Brlen. Of the Court Of Ap-
peals.
This also was applied for against
his expressed directions to his coun-
sell and he declared that It had no
legal effect, particularly as he con-
tended that the court had no iurisdic-
tion, and Il was not in session when
the staying order was Issued,
Asked by member OF the court II
he considered himself Justified In EN-
ploylng this order Of friendly Judge
as a means Of escape from prison
Patrick replied that he did. in view
of the fact that the whole proceed
ing was against his explicit orders.
After p trick had concluded his
argument Justice jerks ordered the
writ OF habeas corpus dismissed and
Patrick was sent back to Sing sins
prison. Justice jerks said that Pat
rick had developed no new grounds
for reopening OF his case
