cRICHFIELD MURDERED
BY MEXICAN SQUATTER.
American Had One of the Finest
Ranches in Mexico.

New York, April 2f.-F'resh details
of the murder of George w. Crichfield
of Jersey City on his Mexican ranch
on April 3 kere brought here today by
Dr. II. q. Harris. who hurried to Mex
icon upon hearing that his friend
Crichheld had been shot.
The doctor confirms that Crichfield
was murdered by a. peon whom he had
dispossessed as q "squattcr" and that
the shooting had nothing to do with
the insurrection. Crichfeld had a
ranch Of $1,000 acres, reputed to be
one of the finest in Mexico, and ada
cent to it a great oil field was recently
discovered. the overflow from which
was running on Crtchiefd's land.
One night the oi1-laden stream sud-
denly blazed up, apparently having
been set on fire. Crichfeld, attract
ed by the f1re. approached the edge of
fhe stream when someone fired from
the other side and the ranch owner
fell with load of buckshot in his
body. The peon who was suspected Of
the crime was caught two days later
He is in Jail awaiting trial.

LAWYER PATRICK TO
AGAIN ASK FOR PARDON.
Claim Made That EmbaImins Fluid
Caused Congestion of Rice's Lungs.

New York. April 21.-Beaten again
and again, but always hopeful, always
resourcef1l Albert T. Patrick. the
lawyer, who is serving a life term in
Sing Sing for the murder of William
Marsh Rice, has started another ef--
fort for a pardon. His brother i'm
law. John T. Milliken, of ST. Louis,
arrived here today and engaged coun-
sci who will appear before Governor
Dix next Monday to ask that a date
be set for hearing arguments.
Supported by decision of the State
Embalmers' and the Medico-Legal So
ciety, Patrfck's counsel will contend
that new evidence shows that the con-
gestfon OF Rice's lungs was not caused
by the chioroforrn which it was charged
Patrick caused to be administered, but
by chemicals in the embalming fluid
used. He will also quote from the
opinion of Justice O'Brien, who, when
the court Of appeals denied a new trial.
wrote in dissenting opinion: II would
not convict a dog of biting a sheep on
such evidence, unless there was a more
powerful motive than the one shown

Livermore, KY, April 21.-A drama
in real life, the wierdest and most
tragic. ever enacted on a stage any
where in the world, was presented in
the opera house here, when a cringtng,
shrieking and hysterical negro MUIR

two dollars for admission for the pur-
pose of shooting at him. The money
taken at the box Office is to be given
to the family of the man thes negro
killed. The body of the negro was lit
orally shot to pieces.
There is no regret here today over
the tragedy. The people feel that the
negro was merely punished by the law
of retribution- and that they were the
mediums through whom the law op-
Grated. The white man the negro
killed, Frank Mitchell. was popular.
