Late Governor Higgins
After He Had Spent
Four Years in tA
Death House.
HOST OF APPEALS TAKEN
Prisoner Does Not Know of His Good
Fortune, and Will Not Be
Told Until the Official
Papers Reach the
Prison.

Albany, Nov. 21.-Just before leaving
the executive chamber tonight Gov
ernor Dix announced that he had par
doned Albert 7. Patrick, who was
under life sentence at Sing Sing Prison
for the murder Of William Marsh Rice,
an aged millionaire, in New York City
on September %, 1900.
For some time the Governor has been
considering the case of Patrick, AMI
had gone over carefully the letters re-
ceived from prominent persons all over
the country asking that the condemned
man be given his liberty. Like all
victiOn, the present Chief Executive re-
ceiyed an application for pardon from
the prisoner himself. Governor Dix
refused TO give out any of the names
of the persons asking for clemency for
Patrick, saying he considered them ~
the nature of personal communications,
and that the writer's would not like to
have their names made public: The
Governor said:
There has always been an air OF rys.
terry in this important case. Quoting
from The minority opinion, the atnno-
sphere that surrounded the defendant
showed that fair and impartial trial
was scarcely possible.
! trust that Mr.. Patrick will devote
his energies to complete vindication
OF his declared innocence. During the
last year | have given much considers
ton 10 this case. and am conVinced that
the defendant is entitled to have full
pardon.
Patrick, who was saved from the
electric chair by the late Governor Hig-
gins. in December, 1906, has made a
remarkable fight for freedom. A law
yer, he protested when Governor Hig-
gins commuted the death sentence to
life imprisonment, declaring the Gov
ernor had no legal right to cancel the
original sentence and impose a punish

Governor Dix said Colonel Joseph +.
Scott. Superintendent Of State Prisons,
was among those who recommended
Patrick's pardon.

Pardon Mailed to Warden.


After the Governor attached his sig
nature to the pardon, an attache of
the executive department dropped the
document into the local postoffice to-
night. in an envelope addressed TO
John S. Kennedy, warden OF Sing Sins.
If the pardon reaches the prison to-
morrow Patrick may be released on
it's receipt, although he may not leave
the prison until Friday.
1t is said Patrick plans 10 leave Tor
81. Louis. the home of John F. Milli-
ken. his brother-ln-law, but may re-
turn later as a claimant for the mill
ions left by the aged man Of whose
murder ne was charged. Mr.. Milliken
aided Patrick in his fight for freedom,
and il is reported, will assist him in
his efforts to prove his innocence.
AT no time during his long incarcera-
tion in Sing Sing, four years Of which
were spent in the prison death house,
has Patrick given up the hope of
securing his freedom. Letter after let
ter has been received at the executive
chamber urging that he be pardoned,
and each successive Governor since
Governor Odell has been asked to eX-
tend executive clemency.
Governor Higgins was so impressed
with the prisoners plea that he
granted him three respites. and eventu-
aIly commuted his sentence to life i'm
prisonment.
Patrick was charged with having
brought about the death of Mr.. Rice,
not by his own hand, but through the
agency Of Charles F. Jones, valet em-
ployed in the Rice household. 1t was
principally upon the testimony of
Jones. who confessed TO having ad-
ministered chloroform TO the old man
while he was asleep. at the behest or
Patrick, that the lawyer was convicted.
Jones escaped punishment and has long
been able to hide his identity from the
public. At last reports he was said to
| be in Texas.
Why Higgins COMMITTED Sentence.
! In saving Patrick from the death
chair Governor Higgins gave these rea-
sons:
1t Is not claimed that Patrick commit
| ted the murder In person. but that ht
| procured the act to be done. He has beer
convicted principally upon the testimon,
| of Charles +. Jones. who confessed tina
| he murdered his master while he la,
asleep, instigated by Patrick. and Jone
| by this testimony has purchased his owl
| immunity from trial or punishment.
| Neither this fact alone nor the review
| of any question OF fact already passe'
