PATRICK PARDONED
BY GOYENOR DIX
Continued from Page One.

Johnson's execution was but twenty
four hours of, when Patrick, setting
aside his own troubles for the nonce.
brought his legal talents into play for
his fellow-convict, took an appeal, stay
ed the execution, and. directing the legal
proceedings from his cell, prolonged
Johnson's life for two years Ultimately
johnson paid the penalty for his crime
As lawyer, social economist, church
worker and club man. Albert T. Pat
rick had already become we'll known in
New York before the death OF Rice made
him the talk OF three continents.
As a matter OF passing interest II may
be noted that he was a member Of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. of which
John d. Rockefeller is also a member;
and UP TO a period long after his arrest
he was president of the Social Economy
Club, an organization within the Young
Mems Christian Association. Likewise
he was a member Of the Manhattan
Club, where, until his criminal operations
became public. he was favorably regard
ed by those fellow members OF the club
with whom he came in contact.
Few Intimnte Friends.
The social instinct was not strongly
developed in him. however, and he had
few intimate friends.
Patrick's peculiar legal talents first
came into the light In his native State,
Texas. shortly after his admission &c
the bar when, selecting two friends N
Houston, he lodged information with
one that the other had alienated the al
fections of his wife.
A suit followed which was settled out
OF court for 5000. Patrick collected
600 as his fee from the man who had
brought the suit. and then, as counsel
for the wife, began suit under the Texas
law to recover half Of what the husband
had been awarded. on the principle that
wife is entitled to half of her hus-
bands goods. He won this suit ais ,.
and halved s1.2jO with the wife of his
former client.
After several other questionable legal
transactions in Texas, Patrick. IN the
late eighties moved to New York. Little
IS known of his career here, however,
up to the time Of the death OF William
Marsh Rice.

had been generally supposed that the
Prince of Wales could now pay as many

case. The King does not wish his son
to pay many country house visits for
the next year or so.
King George has been extremely panied

at Oxford. One OF these stories stated
that the prince was revolutionary and

Extreme dullness was the natural char
acteristic of the New York stock mar

much as IL loans must be curtatled to

The net changes of the day were un-
important A rumor that France had
issued mobilizing orders was circulated
around midday and denied after Lon
don's closing, but time enough remained
TO cause some recoveries in the New
York market.
Many members of the exchange and
bankers were out of the city for the
Ths snksgiving holidays.
There was no increase in the volume
OF trading on the local exchange. No
investment demand exists and holders
OF securities desiring to market them
at this time will be compelled to take
the best bids. which are based on a
bargain hunting and not on dividend
basis.

the bids were lowered and the orders

But the turmoil that the action has
caused, the fact that a utilities COM
mission is practically sure, that Con-
gress is certain to take a look into
local securities without an exception,
that there is some straining of the en-
tente cordial between the Washington
Gas Company and the Georgetown Gas

alton counsel that the dividend on
Washington Railway common was not
earned. these and other unsettling in
fiuences have had a temporary effect
in restricting operations on the stock
exchange to midsummer dullness.
