IAN LEGALLY DEAD"
CONTENTION OF
PATRICK

New York, Nov. 29.-Albert r Pat
rick. whose sentence of death for the
murder Of William Marsh Rice was
eommated to life Imprisonment at Sing
Sing. appeared today before the ap-
pelate division of the supreme court
in brooklyn To argue that within the
law he had already suffered death and
thus had paid his debt to the state in
full and should be set free.
Patrick contends that the solitary
confinement preceding electrocution
had been held by the United States
supreme court to be part of the pen
atty decreed in a death sentence He
served that time in full, and now
makes the point that when the court
of appeals reaffirmed the decision of
the court of conviction and set a new
date for. execution il transgressed his
constitutional right in ordering him To
serve another period of solitary CON-
finement. thereby duplicating a pun
ishment he had already suffered.
The failure Of the warden TO cleo
troeute him in compliance with the
first order OF the court. argued Pat
rick. constitutes an act of nonfeasance.

MORLEY SAYS ENGLISH WORK

.STRA|N|NG CONSTITUTION
sponsibiiity in Lower House of Par
? lisment-Lords Warmed That When
Curtain Fails Prolonged Battle Will
Be Ahead-Rothsehild Also Speaks.

London. Nov. 29.--Lord Morley's
powerful speech was the absorbing
event of the budget debate today in
the house Of lords. He quoted Burke
to the effect that the house of lords
had no right in any sense to the dis
position of the public purse. In ad-
dition he said that Il referendum
would weaken what was most import
ant to maintain. sense of RESPONSE
bility in the house of commons.
As to the lords contention that their
action would arrest the wave of so
cialism. he refused to believe that
British artisans were predatory or
socialistic. and it was hardly wise of
the lords, he said. to take up a po-
sition exposing them to the charge of
straining the constitution as cham
pions of the rich as against the
poor.
The more triumphant the majority
for Lansdowne's amendment said
Lord Morley, .'the larger the disparity
between the numbers of the govern
ment and the numbers of the opposi-
ton; the more flagrant viii be the
political scandal"
Lord Morley concluded his speech
with an impressive warning that when
tomorrow the curtain fell on an empty
house they would know that the note
had been sounded for an angry and
perhaps prolonged battle.
Lord Rcthschild. liberal-unionist.
spoke briefly. dwelling on the difficult
~ OF raising capital even for the best
English enterprises. Many other peers
spoke. nearly all in favor of Lans-
downe's amendment. The debate was
adjourned at midnight.
