doors of Sing Sing swung open to Albert T. Patrick this afternoon.
 At exactly 4:25 o'clock the lawyer, who for nearly II years was cooped up in the gray walled prison, convict ed of the murder of William Marsh Rice, his millionaire client. stepped out free man, pardoned Icy Cover nor Dix.
 With the release of Patrick there began the long deferred honeymoon with the brave-hearted little woman who married him ten years agn'when he was taken to the Tombs after his sentence to the electric chair In the apartments ready for him in this city Patrick, after a dizzy automo- bile ride from Ossning, sat down to- night to Thanksgiving dinner with Mrs. Patrick, Thomas Maher, all ex- convict released year ago by Gov- ernor Dix, who has worked hard after gaining his freedom to get the law yer out of prison; Henry Barber, merchant of Peakskille, mentor of Ma her; George Mothersell, a messenger in Governor DiX's office and woman chum of Mrs. Patrick.
 joyous reunion it was for the lawyer who for years stood in the shadows of the electric chair. Pat rick. shutting himself from the world, says that he had no word to offer un- til he had "regained his perspective,' devoted himself to feast, sweetened by the broth of freedom so unexpct- edly given him.
 As Patrick emerged from Sing Sing prison he showed the supern nerve that has stood by him in his long con- finement Stouter than he was when he walked the pathway leading to the be the picture of health. His, step was firm, his frame unbent. Although a trifle more bald than when the doors shaped behind him in the death house, Patrick's hair is as black as ever without tinge of gray to indi- cate the tension of worry Not fur rowed line shows in his face. If the lawyer was .borne down with the weight of his troubles his looks fail ed to reveal it.
 How do you feel at being liberat- ed?' was asked of Patrick as he step- ped outside the prison door,
 A smile illumined the ex-lawyer's face as he replied:
 q feel as we'll as I ever did.'
 Patrick was told that the world wanted to hear something from him something of his idea of the future; something on his life in the prison.
 "No, no,' came the quick response, 'I cannot talk now. I don't think that care to say anything. I have been twelve years in prison,' he said coldly. q realize that from my long incarceration that must have lost my perspective of the outside world. Judg- ment dictates that regain that per spective before decide upon my fu- ture plans.
 T expect always to continue the fight for vindication and to clear my name,' Patrick went on, with snap of his heavy jaws. Il don't feel venomous toward anyone. My philo- sophy teaches me different. All can say now is - and Patrick gulped his words, "that I'm going back to my wife who is sick and failing"
 The liberated murderer stopped short and seemed on the verge of break down. Quickly he pulled himself up and with broad smile explained:
 "I feel good at getting out of this I've always kept my spirits up. Now can't say any more.''
