New York, March 16.-'- Ten years ago today Albert T. Patrick, after a highly sensational trial lasting more than two months, was found guilty by a Jury in the Court of General 8essiohs, Manhattan, of having murdered William Marsh $tee, of Houston. Tdxas, an aged and eeeentrlct millionaire who, af the time of hia death JlTed tn a fine old residence on Jf*dison AVenue, Manhattan. On April ( <i !??? MMbK WM KUICULHU IU UIO Id the electric chair on May 5 fol-. lowing, but the Mhtence was never executed. Immdiately after be had been sentenced, Patrick began the; niemoral and unparralleled flght for ' bis life and liberty'and for the vln-j dlcatlon of hie honor, which has not yet reached its end. The fact that Patrick now under Ufa'sentence string Sing, is planning another effort 'to obtain his release under habeas corpus law in the near future, makes a review of this famous case on tho anniversary of Patticfc> conviction doubly, interesting. * ,WUlutm, Mareh Rice died at his New York residence , on September IS," 1900 under somewhat peculiar circumstances. The exact cause of bis death was never established, as tips statements of the experts conflicted. The prosecution claimed that the old man had died from the ef-' facts of inhaling chloroform, while tho defense contended that he had died a natural death, from indlgestion caused by over-indulgence in bananas. The only person with Mr. Rice at the time of his death was his valet, Charles P. Jones. On the day after Rice's death Patrick. who had been a practicing lawyer in Houston Tex. but hid removed to New York City In 1802, presented at on? yt the New York banks several checks aggrbgating $125,0(0 bearing the alleged signature of Mr. Rice and made payable to Patrick. A mistake in the spelling of Patrick's fl rat name attracted the attention of the bank officials and they learned that Mr. Rice had died day before, they refused to honor the checks^nd notified the police authorISii ' ** " )(?

Kenuo for the holra of Mr. Rice's wife who had died in a sanatorium in Wisconsin and had first become acquainted wth Mr. Rice- in that capacity; ItwacS alleged that' it was Patrick who hid Induced Mr. Rice tq consent to a'settlement with the heirs. It was contended by the proseciUKdi that the Will leaving the bulk of Rice estate to Patrick in trust had been -forged by Patricjt and^ tbat the latter had persuadoa^Jonee to kill bis master,' so as to leave Patrick's bands free. Patrick was convicted and four days t itqr married, in his cell In the Tombs Mrs. Addlo M- Francis.

In fact ' sustained in every detail the advance press-notice of him. Those present jhatjaughed_ until their sides actyed over his imitations because of their < truthfulness. To say that he,1s great as a cartoonist is putting It mild. Not foT' many years has an ehtertalnef ! delighted his audience as did Rosa Crane. His handiwork could not he . improved upon, for it was simply the i stroke of a master hand. A preps notice: "^Vhat I-eland Powers is to the art- of impersonation; wjiat I>r: Ounsaulus is to the lecture platform, Ross Crane is among the cartoonist" This states the case In a nut shell. The very soul of the artist showed! itself in his work. He well deserves, his title, as he was formerly a cartoonist on a metropolitan newspaper and his drawings have the bigness, swiftness and vitality which characterize the newspaper cartoons. It was one of the most complete one i man entertainments seen inWashlng-j ton. A crowded house awaits him up-1 on his return. The next attraction In the Lyceum courso will be Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobsou of Mcrrlroae nnmr?no 1b niued to appear hero sometime in April. ISSUE SHARPLY PHAH'N IN ?)K)R.\DO Special to the Daily News. * Colorado Springs. Colo..
