4. t. Patrick
SAVED FROM
DEATH CHAIR
Governor Higgins Commutes Sen
tence of the Former Texan
to Life Imprisonment.
BASES HIS ACTION ON
SPLIT AMONG JUDGES
Expresses Doubt of Sanity of W. M.
Rice's Alleged Slayer When Told He
Denied Asking Clemency and In-
sisted on Right to Die.
ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 20.—Albert T.
Patrick was saved by Governor Higgins
today from the death chair, in the
shadow of which he haw stood for nearly
five years. He was convicted March 19,
IDOL', of the murder of William Marsh
Rice, an aged Texas millionaire.
In a brief memorandum, laying stress
upon the dissenting opinions of the judges
of the Court of Appeals, which affirmed
Patrick's conviction by a vote of 4 to 3,
the Governor announced he had com-
muted the death sentence.
In the memorandum, Governor Higgins
calls attention to the fact that It is not
claimed that Patrick committed the mur-
der himself, but Jie caused the act to be
done, and that he had been convicted
principally on the testimony of Charles
F. Jones, Rice's valet, who, by his testi-
mony that he murdered his master, while
the latter was asleep, at Patrick s insti-
gation, purchased immunity from punish-
ment.
Finds Judges Disagree.
However, Governor Higgins states that
neither this fact alone nor the review of
any of the facts already pasted on by
the courts would seem to warrant inter-
ference in the fulfillment of the penalty
imposed; but that because of the fact
that three of the seven Judges of the
Court of Appeals were so strongly of the
opinion that errors were committed at
the trial, which were substantially preju-
dicial to the rights of Patrick, he feels
that the death sentence should not, under
all the circumstances, be inflicted.
Later In the day the Governor strongly
intimated a doubt of Patrick's entire
sanity, attributing his mental state to
the strain under which the condemned
lawyer has labored all these years in the
death cell at Sing Sing.
The Governor was shown a dispatch
from a New York newspaper to a corre-
spondent In which It was asserted that
Patrick denied having sent the Governor
any appeal for clemency and would re-
fuse to accept the commutation and insist
upon his "right to die.''
"Patrick cannot determine what his
punishment shall be," said Governor Hig-
gins. "He is mistaken If he says he sent
me no application. In fact, I have sev-
eral: one in particular asking for a
pardon. He will have to he careful or he
may find himself in Matteawan. The
!ong strain seems to have been too much
for him."
Case Almost Unparalleled.
The case of Albert T. Patrick is in
many respects unparalleled. It is doubt-
ful if ever before a convicted man has
blayed so large a part in the conduct of
his own case, even turning his narrow
quarters in the death cell of a State
prison practically into a law office.
Rice died Sept. 23, 1900; Patrick and
Jones were arrested Oct. 4. Jones at
first declared that Patrick himself had
chloroformed Rice, but in other confes-
sions, which varied materially, he said he
killed his master at Patrick's Instigation.
The statement was the principal evi-
dence to sustain the murder charge
igainst Patrick. Jones was never tried
either as a principal or af an accomplice;
he was released and is said to be living
in Texas.
Patrick was convicted March 27, 1902,
and sentenced to death. Since then his
right has been continuous. Tn every court
in the State open to him he has made his
appeal, but always In vain.
Patrick's brother-in-law, John T. Mlli-
ken, of St. Louis, is said to have de-
fended his brother-in-law at great cost,
it is known here that Patrick Intends to
continue his efforts to establish his inno-
cence.
PATRICK SEEKS FREEDOM.
Declares He Will at Once Begin Fight
In Courts to Secure His Release
From Prison.
OSSINING. N. Y., Dec. 20.-Patrick an-
nounced tonight that he was not satisfied
with commutation and wotild at once be-
gin his fight for freedom. A writ of
habeas corpus will be applied for, it was
said, in the United States Court, making
Warden Johnson the defendant.
The first news of the action of Gov-
ernor Higgins was taken to the prisoner's
cell in the. death house in Sing Sing pris-
on by his wife. Mrs. Patrick left New
York immediately on receipt of the news
from Albany, and upon her arrival here
she was permitted to go at once to her
husband's cell.
Patrick seemed not at all surprised to
learn that the Governor had intervened
to save his life.
HOLDS PATRICK GUILTLESS.
Medico-Legal Society of New York
Adopts Resolutions Asserting
Belief in His Innocence.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.— Resolutions as-
serting belief in the innocence of Albert
T. Patrick, convicted of the murder of
William M. Rice, were adopted by the
Medico-Legal Society at its annual dinner
last night.
The resolutions are based on a report
by the special committee to conduct ex-
periments in the use of embalming fluids.
The society calls upon Governor Higgins
of New York to pardon Patrick.
Judge William H. Francis of Phila-
delphia cast his vote against Patrick.

SENTENCE FINALLY COMMUTED.
Ill
ALBERT T. PATRICK.
THE commutation of sentence granted Albert T. Patrick, convicted of the murder
of William Marsh Rice, which occurred in New York in the fall of 1000,
marks the beginning of the end of the most remarkable fight for life and liberty
of the century. It is not believed that the struggle will end with the commu-
tation, which will probably be taken as merely removing the shadow of the elec-
tric chair and as giving time and opportunity for the fight for release from cus-
tody, which will doubtless be continued to the end of the chapter.

MANZANILLO EXTENSION.
Several Hundred Japs Imported for
Work on Mexican Central.
Special Telegram to The Express.
GUADALAJARA, Mex., Dec. 20.—Sev-
eral hundred of the Japanese laborers re-
cently imported by Hampson & Smith
for the Manzanillo extension of the Mexi-
can Central have been put to work
grading that portion of the route between
Colima and the port of Manzanillo. Up
to this time work on the extension has
been confined to the mountainous section
between Tuxpan and Colima. Due to the
damage caused by floods near the end of
the last rainy season, the location of the
extension below Colima has been changed
considerably, and heavier construction
will be necessary. One tunnel 1100 feet
long will be driven, and the bridge
across the Armeria River will be of six
instead of three spans, as originally
planned.
The October floods swept away a por-
tion of the old iron bridge across the
Armeria River, and since that time there
has been no communication between
Colima and Manzanillo over the narrow
gauge railroad. It probably will be
another month before traffic c/in be re-
sumed. There is an immense amount of
freight at the Paeifie port awaiting ship-
ment, the accumulation including rails,
ties, bridge steel and 15,000 barrels of
cement for the extension.
TWO REASONS FOR SHORTAGE.
Enormous Traffic and Lack of Termi-
nal Facilities, Says Yoakum.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.— B. F. Yoakum,
chairman of the Rock Island and Frisco
executive committees, and Robert Math-
er, president of the Rock Island Com-
pany, who, with other officials of the
road, recently made a trip of inspection
over the company's lines, returned to
New York yesterday. General conditions
along the lines of the two systems, they
reported, are satisfactory.
Referring to car shortage, which, in
some parts of the country has caused
serious embarrassment and in a few cases
actual suffering. Mr. Yoakum said this
was due in the Southwest partly to the
enormous traffic and partly to the lack
of sufficient terminal facilities.
TO AVOID HEAVY GRADES.
Report That Important Changes Will
Be Made in National Track.
Special Telegram to The Express.
SALTILLO, Mex., Dec. 20.—A persistent
rumor has it that the National Railway
Company is contemplating considerable
changes to its track from Saltillo to Ojo
Caliente, to avoid the very steep grade
between the two places. A removal of
the depot from its present location to
one more convenient to tho contemplated
change is also under consideration, ac-
cording to the same rumor. With the
purchase by the Mexican Government of
the Mexican Central Railway system it
is expected that th" traeks of this rail-
road company will be used by the Na-
tional to avoid the steep grades.

tant Generalship Under Campbell.
Col. Roy W. Hearne yesterday con-
firmed the rumor to the effect that ho
had declined to accept the proferred posi-

ness affairs and devote his time solely
to discharging the onerous duties of a
State official.
Colonel Hearne's declination makes a

ANTI-BAILEY MEETINGS
IN WEST TEXAS TOWNS
Special Telegram to The Express.
PROCTOR. Tex., Dec. 20—Senator
Bailey spoke here tonight to an audience
which filled the school house. Proctor's
loyalty has been tested more than once
and the men who met Senator Bailey
this afternoon and tonight betwayed a
keen pride in telling him that they were
citizens of a community which has ever
been a Bailey stronghold.
Senator Bailey arrived in the city at 3
o'clock this afternoon ajid rested until
the hour for speaking. When he entered
the hall he was cheered wildly. He wa«
introduced by E. R. Bryan, who said that
no one can point in Senator Bailey's reo-
ord to a single instance where his voice
or his vote was ever turned against his
constituents.
With a few preliminary remarks the
speaker proceeded to the Waters-Pierce
question and Explained the part he took
In the readmisslon into the State.
Speaking of the Populists, he said:
"They are the same crowd which helped
carry the State for McKinley In 1896.
"Some of them say tho salary should
be raised, but I say it should not. be-
cause the tavern keepers at Washington
would simply raise the charges. Instead
of raising these salaries, let Congressmen
work when the body is not in session."
He spoe of the papers held by At-
torney General Davidson and said David-
son knows some of them are forgeries
and were stolen.
"If the peoplo of Texas think I am a
liar they ought not to have me In the
Senate. If they think I am not a liar
then they should scourge these scoundrels
from the State with a lash of scorpions."
(Long applause.)
Further on he said: "You go to
Gainesville, and In that town of ten
thousand people you won't find three
honest men against me."
Senator Bailey speaks at Dublin tomor-
row afternoon. He has decided not to
speak at Stephenville tomorrow night.
The Representative from the county in
wjiich Dublin and Stephenville aro lo-
cated, is a Bailey man.
Cullen Thomas speaks at Comanche
Saturday. County Attorney Charles Vo-
w ell of Grayson County speaks there on
the same date in the Interest of Mr.
Bailey. The Senator's friends are trying
to arrange a debate between the two.
BAILEY ANSWERS SENTER.
Senator Declares That Dallas Man
Should Resign His Office or
Obey Instructions.
Special Telegram to The Express.
PROCTOR. Tex., Dec. 20.—Senator Bai-
ley today gave out tho following state-
ment relative to the recent public letter
of State Senator K. G. Senter of Dallas
County:
"Except that the interview was printed
in exactly the same words in two differ-
ent newspapers. I could hardly believe
that Mr. Senter has been correctly
quoted. Of course I can not say what
passed between him and the mutual friend
with whom he called on me, but I do
know to an absolute certainty that he
was not invited to my room upon any
stipulation or condition made with my
knowledge or consent. But whether Mr.
Senter is right or wrong about the state-
ments he made to that friend, or that
friend made to him, it is certain that
when he left my rooms he left me tinder
the very clear and distinct Impression
that he was one of my supporters. He
may not have intended to create that im-
pression in my mind, but he not only so
impressed me, but he also impressed in
the same way the friend who came with
him, and who heard everything that
passed between us. When talking with
me, Mr. Senter knew every fact and
circumstance which was in his knowledge
when he wrote his communication to the
newspapers, and yet he did not express
or intimate to me any such opinions as
he has published In his newspaper com-
munications.
Ridicules Senter's Suggestion.
"Mr. Senter's suggestion that I would
allow one Senatorial district to determine
the election of a Senator for the entire
State of Texas betrays a state of mind
which renders him incaoable of thinking
fairly on this question. I know, or at
least. I believe to a moral certainty that
I can carry that Senatorial district today
by. a larger majority than I could have
done six years ago. but I would not ac-
cept the Senatorship from it without ref-
erence to the will of the Democrats in all
the other districts. Mr. Senter's propo-
sition that ho and 1 run a race in the
Dallas district, with his office as State
Senator and with my office as United
States Senator for the stakes, is amusing.
I am not inclined to gamble with the
offices belonging to the people of Texas.
"But even if I would entertain a propo-
sition of that kind under circumstances
the present circumstance would not war-
rant me in considering it. I am not com-
plaining of what the Democrats have
done, nor am I asking to be relieved from
any instructions which they have given
me. If they had commanded me to do
what I could not do with a good con-
science. I would resign without asking
anybody else to resign with me. Mr.
Senter was given a Democratic nomi-
nation. coupled with specific instruction,
and if he is not willing to obey the in-
struction. he ought not to hold the office
whioh he received with that Instruction.
The Democratic doctrine is obedience to
instructions or resignation, and only
those are called upon to resign who fail
or refuse to obey their instructions.
Resign Office or Obey Instruction.
"I have great respect for a man who
will give up his office rather thaji do
violence o his conscience, but I have no
respect whatever for a man who will hold
the people's office without, obeying the
instructions. If a man can not con-
scientiously do what the people have
instructed him to do. he ought to give
the peopl© o chance to elect a man who
can faithfully exooute their will without
violating his own sense of patriotism and
duty. It is a very light conscience that
moves a man unless he is willing to put
his office iu the scale with his con-
science and risk his office in order to
save his conscience. If Mr. Senter feols
that the people of that Senatorial district
desire my defeat for the Senate, he can
win a reputation that he can never
achieve in any other way by resigning
his office, becoming a candidate to suc-
ceed himself, and declaring his intention
to vote against me if elected. If, under
thep" circumstances he la re-elected to
the State Senate, he will not only have
the people's warrant for doing what he
wants to do. but he will also demonstrate

the poople of Texas for her United States
Senators or members of Congress to servo

service corporations directiV or indirectly
during th^ir term of office; and
"Resolved, that inasmuch as wa believe
that Senator J. W. Bailey has receive!
large compensations as fees or otherwise
from such corporations or the officers
and announces publicly his determination
to continue to do so, we hereby request
our Representatives in the Legislature,
the Hon. C. H. Jenkins, and our State

Anti-Bailey Speakers.

DE LEON. Tex., Dec. 20.—'There were
two speakers at the anti-Bailey meeting
here today. These were W. E. I^owe,
cashier of the Farmers and Merchants"
National Bank, and Cullen F. Thomas.
Tho meeting was called to order by Mr.
T<owe, who was elected chairman. When
he, called for order by actual count there
were 12G persons present and a few came
in later.
In his opening remarks Mr. Lowe made
reference to his interruption of Senator
Hal lev while speaking yesterday, and
chat ged that the Senator treated him In
a very discourteous manner. He said
that practically all the business men In
Texas believed at the time of the re-
admission of the Waters-Pierce Oil Com-
pany to the State that the concern was
a trust. He made that statement in re-
ferring to what Mr. Bailey had said on
the matter. Then he introduced Mr.
Thomas. Mr. Thomas made several alle-
gations concerning Senator Bailey.
