PARDON FOR PATRICK, TEXAS
LAWYER UNDER LIFE SENTENCE

Albany, y. V, Nov. 29.--Alber;
T. Patrick, the Texas lawyer who Il
serving a life sentence in Sing Sing
prison for the murder of William
Marsh Rice. an aged millionaire, in
New York city. on Sept. %. 1900
has been pardOned by Governor Dix.
Patrick. who was saved from the
electric chair by the late Gov. Hig-
gins in December. 1906, has made a
remarkable fight for freedom. A
lawyer by profession, he protested
when Gov. Higgins cOmmuted the
death sentence to life Imprisonment,
declaring that the governor had no
legal right to cancel the original
sentence and impose a punishment
o. life Imprisonment
There has always been an air Of
mystery in this Important case. Gov
ernor Dix said. Quoting from the
minority opinion of the court of ap-
peals The atmosphere that sur
rounded the defendant showed that
a fair and impartial trial was
scarcely possible. ! trust that Mr..
Patrick will devote his energies to
complete vindication of his de-
clared innocence During the past
year ] have given much considera-
lion to this case and am convinced
that the defendant is entitled to
have full pardon.
Governor Dix said Superintendent
.. State Prisons Scott and scores of
prominent citizens appealed to him
In Patrick's behalf The pardon was
mailed last night to Warden John S.
Kennedy of Sing Sing and Patrick
will be released upon its receipt
1t is said Patrick plans to leave
i"r st. Louis, the home of John F.
hllliken, his brother-in-law. but
may return late to New York as a
claimant for the millions left by the
aged man with whose murder he was
charged.
Patrick was sentenced originally
April Z, 1902, to die in the week
commencing May and was immed-
lately taken to the Sing Sing death
house. An appeal was taken and
OF June 1, 1905, the conviction was
affirmed by the court of appeals. The
court later denied an application for
a rchearing and fixed the week of
Aug. 25, 1905, as the time for exc
cution.
Eventually the case was taken to
Tue United States Supreme Court,
which dismissed the appeal for want
o. Jurisdiction. Patrick contended
mat the sentence of death had been
rommuted against his wishes and as
serted that life Imprisonment was
harder to endure than the death
penalty.

WHAT BAD ROADS
ARE COSTING THE
Of POLK
FIGURES SHOWING HOW GOOD
ROADS WOULD FACILITATE
HANDLING ORANGE CROP.

The cost OF hauling the orange
and grapefruit crop to the shipping
point on the railroad Is reaching
larger proportions each year in Polk
G, unity. and IL you will take a trip
over the county you will readily see
that within five years there will he
"a million boxes Of citrus fruits to be
hauled 10 the railroad station to be
prepared for shipment.
Your attention Is called to the
r.attcr AT this time that YOU may
stud, the question while the pres
ent crop is being marketed and you
gain some idea rs to the cost
9. hauling in dollars and cents and
enormous Inconvenience account of
lie condition Of the public roads in
tie county.
~" clilus crop of Polk county
4, - season Will be- some over Il half
m,iiiou boxes. and the average dis
t. a,c ilai this fruit Will have to be
laalpd on wagons is .iyc miles, and
ihe average number o' boxes thar
.lH b. hauled by Il team Of two
lhrsa-c size mules is twenty boxes
c., Il load. and two loads each day
inaLrs twenty miles per day, which
is about the average made by each
icam, and the cost of that team is
s. per day. which makes the aver
asc yost of hauling the citrus frui:
crop of Polk county average ten
cents per box or about $4,000 for
hauling.
That is an approximate of the Sit
ua,ion at the present and it is in
creasing each year very rapidly.
therefore you can see what proper
tions it will reach in five years,
which is not Il very long time when
yen stop to think minute.
With system of good roads it
has been proven that a team can
haul more than twice as much per
load and make at least one and
half times the mileage and pOssibl;
double the mileage that it can make
On IA heavy unkept road, and at the
same time be kept in better condi-
tiOn on considerably less expense
and will last at least twice as long.
While the citrus fruit crop is be-
ing marketed it would not be mis-
take for each grower to study this
read question and investigate along
the lines as mentioned herein and
try to form some idea for yourselves
a, to the correctness of the state
mcnt, and at the same time remem-
her that a system of good roads COW
ering three hundred miles can be
kept and paid for with the amounts
saved in the hauling of the citrus
fruit crop alone. This will not work
out to the cent but it is getting in
the neighborhoOd of what can be
done in the matter, and at the same
time you have the roads for the en-
tire year.
The grower with one THOUSAND
boxes will save approximately $50
per year in hauling his fruit. and
his road tax is not over SIS, and
the grower with one hundred boxes
saves s. dollars and his road tax is
not over So per year, and he has not
only gained in dollars and cents bu.
has saved his team and his patience.
While the orange and grapefruit
crop Is being hauled during the
present season. and you meet the
loaded teams on the road with
load of fruit, do some figuring for
yourself and determine the question
o. good roads VS.. bad roads in hand
ling the citrus fruit crop of Polk
county.
