WEALTH AT STAKE
IN PATRICK FIGHT
Freed of Murder Charge, He
Plans Contest for Rice
Millions.

New York, Dec. 2.-Whether Albert
i. Patrick, who was pardoned by Gov
ernor Dix. will make a fight for the
millions left by William Marsh Rice
the millionaire he was accused OF hav-
ing murdered, may be settled today at
conference between Patrick and his
counsel. former Judge Olcott. Pat
rick was beneficiary under what was
by him alleged to be Rice's will.
Il have not studied the WILL" Judge
Olcott said today, land until l have
a, chance to confer with Mr.. Patrick I
cannot say what action we will take in
the matter"
Judge Olcott took occasion to defend
the action of Governor Dix and replied
to the several criticisms made yester-
day and last night by attorneys and
others connected with the prosecution
of Patrick In this statement Judge
Olcott said:
"Of course. it is the precedent in
an application for a pardon that the
district attorney who tried that case
and the Judge before whom it was
tried, should be heard before action is
taken.
Beginning with Governor Higgins
and going through to Governor Hughes,
White and Dix, every governor ex
cept Governor Dix has had this pardon
application before him by my insistent-
y knocking at their doors. Each one
followed precedent of asking Justice
Golf and former District Attorney Jer-
ONE for their opinions and to each of
them those officials have rendered an
opinion and Interchangeable against
Patrick.
When Governor Dix took up the
matter therefore it would have be 4
double work to ask for those opinions
again. They were on file unalterable
lby their very terms, and it was in
spite Of these opinions that Governor
Dix concluded to use his authority (su-
perior to that of even the learned
opinions Of Justice Golf and Mrs. Jer-
Dnle), and to do eventual and much

Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute 1t who
have not tried it, yet thousands of
others who speak from personal ex-
perience. assert that there Is a perm
anent cure for chronic constipation.
Some testify they were cured for as
little as fifty cents. years ago. and that
the trouble never came back on
them, while others admit they took
several bottles before a steady cure
was brought about.
The remedy referred to is DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t has been on
the market for yer a quarter Of a
century and has been popularized on
it's merits. by one person telling an
other. The fact hat it's strongest
