PATRICK WILL RISK
REARREST IN FIGHT
Decides to Wage Legal Battle
for Vindicati0n and Rice
Millions.

NEW YORK, November :;0-Albert r.
Patrick will start court proceedings to
have enforced the provisions of the dis
puted will of William Marsh Rice, which
three times has been declared legally to
be forgery. This action by Patrick, it
was learned yesterday. will be the first
step in his announced program to obtain
vindication of the honor he declares he
was robbed of by his conviction for the
murder of the aged possessor of the Rice
millions.
Patricks determination to establish the
validity of the alleged forged will has
been reached with the full realization
| that the adoption of such course makes
him liable to rearrest on the charge of
| issuing a forged instrument. That phase
of the pardoned mans proposed future
| action was laid definitely before Patrick
Yesterday by William NJ X. Olcott, now
| his counsel. Patrick's answer to Mr.. Oh
| colt was that he is not afraid.
| The statement that this definite line of
action practically has been decided upon
| by Patrick as the only means of proving
his innocence of the murder charge, while
establishing at the same time his legal
right to administer the remaining por-
an unqualified declaration by Patrick that
| more than SIS, 10000 of the Rice portion
already has been expended in carrying
out the conspiracy to railroad" him to
| Jail. These extensive expenditures have
| been made. Patrick asserted in state
| ment yesterday, despite the fact that the
| city and county of New York paid all of
the legal expenses Of his prosecution
Legal Status Established.
! While these facts were developing
| through Patricks first extended public
| statement since he walked out of the
gates of Sing Sing prison Thursday aft
ernoon. the pardoned lawyers exact
status before the courts of the city and
state was finally established. Patrick is
an absolutely free man.
| The last outstanding indictment against
him was dismissed by Judge Swami in
the court of general sessions June ii,
| 1910.
| Patrick plans soon to go in company
| with his wife to ST. Louis, where he will
| visit his brother-in-law. His conference
| with Mr.. Olcott occupied most of yester-
day. Just before the conference he init
mated to reporters that he might devote
| much of his time, after he had vindicated
| himself, to an effort to free convicts in
Sing Sing prison whom he believes inuo-
| cent.

The East India company had been
Incorporated under a charter granted
by Queen Elizabeth in 1900. for the
purpose of carrying on trade with the
East Indies. By the middle of the cen
fury trading settlements had been es-
tablished at Bombay, Calcutta, Ma
dras, and other places. At the end Of
the next 100 years, however, English
influence in India was practically ex
tinct. The French, under leaders of
great ability and courage, had allied
themselves with many of the native
princes and were rapidly obtaining
great power. In less than half dozen
years conditions were completely re

daring of Robert Give, who had held

The Great Mutiny.
The great mutiny, which broke out
in April, 1857, was due to the wilful
disregard of the religious preiudices

About this time, series of fierce
inroads by the Monaghan and Tartar
hordes from the north threatened the
Mussulman domination and involved
the country in fresh miseries. North
eastern India was devastated, with
appalling barbarity, by the terrible
Ghenhts Khan, who is said to have
destroyed in the course OF his san
culinary career, no fewer than 100000
of human beings. Succeeding invasions
were beaten off with great difficulty
but eventually at the close of the four
tenth century, Tamerlane, the second
great Oriental conqueror of the mid
Gle ages, totally routed all the arm
les opposed to him, sacked Delhi, and
proclaimed himself emperor Before
the final battle this monster Of inhum-
anity barbarously butchered 100000
prisoners, who were hampering his

scendant of Tamerlane-again invad-
ed the unhappy country, defeated the
Sultan Ibrahim on the plains of Delhi
and became the first of the Great Mo-
guls. His grandson, the celebrated
Akbar, was the greatest Asiatic mon
arch of modern times. He brought
the whole of India under the Mogul
sway, ruled with wisdom, vigor and
humanity. encouraged literature and
education, and although a Moham-
medan, treated other religions with
wonderful tolerance. Akbar's grand
son, the Emperor Shah Jehan, IS main

extraordinary and beautiful mauso-
Ieum at the Tai Mahal Twenty thou

world. 1t was designed for the en-
peror and his favorite wife.

and ruled with energy and effect for
half a century. He cleared his way to
the throne by the murder OF his three
brothers and Is also believed to have
poisoned his father He was the most
