She was called to Identify two telegrams from J. M. Coleman, Houston. Tex., addrersed to Patrick, and to te 11 of pome "grayish white" pills which tho prisoner was taking for malaria. She was asked if she had destroyed Patrick's medirine chest and replied in the negative, adding that she would deliver any of Patricks property to the district attorney any time that it was wanted. Assistant District Attorney Osborne jumped at the offer and said he would send a detective for tV? medicine chest. Mouse, the attorney for tho defense, object d to action being taken Immediately, adding that if the district attorney's representatives became obstreperous he would go to the Francis residence himself, take possession of th medicine box and leave nothing for Mr. Osborne. "One moment." said Justice Jerome; "I control this situation myself. I think any une who seized these articles and h !d them from the authorities could be committed to the Tombs," Mr. House expressed a willingness to go to the Tombs if necessary in discharging his duty to one of his clients. It was finally arranged, however, that both fides should h-ve representatives pre? .nt wh'n the mediefn chert was iirst removed from the Francis resilience. Afterwards it was turned over to the district attorney for fcafe keeping. TIIH FORGKD WILL. Valet Jones's testimony at the morning session of court led up to the alleged forcing of the so-calkd "Patrick will." On March 22 Jones was taken to the Presbyterian Hospital for treatment. Patrick, Dr. Curry and Morris Meyer (the latter is one of the "witnesses to the alleged bogus will) called on Jones several times while he was sick in the hospital. He was able to go back to Rice's apartment on April Z. On May 2d Rice had some papers to execute and Jones took them to Patrick's olhce, where he met Short, who. at l'atrick's request, had become a commissioner of deeds for the State of Texas. Short went to Rice's house and executed the papers. "Was the will you saw in Patrick's office dated before it was shown to Meyer?" asked Mr. Osborne. "So. It was made In March, but was not dated until June so. Mr. Patrick told mo he destroyed it on the Monday night following the death of Mr. Rice. When the signatures of Meyer and Short were taken as witneses. Patrick told me it would be well to have them use the same ink as was used by Mr. Rice, and I took a bottle of Mr. Rice's ink to l'atrick's ofllce. 1 have not Feen that Ink bottle since." Continuing. Jones said Meyer and Short were at Rice's Rat June CO to witness certain papers for Rice. "Did Mr. Patrick ever do any legal work for Mr. Rice?" asked Mr. Osborne. "He did not." "Did Mr. Rice slam any will on June CO during the time Meyer and Short were in the apartment?" "He did not. I was there all the time ' and I did not see him sign any will. Had he signed one I would have known of it." Jones then testified that somewhat later, at the request of Patrick, he wrote on his typewriter the assignments transferrin?: iiice's property to Patrick. "Patrick asked m" witness continued, "whether I did not think old Rice was llvinsr a little too long for our purposes. 1 said I thought so. Patrick suggested we put hUi out of the way. I suggested Dr. Currv, but Patrick said Dr. Curry would not ro anything of the kind." POISON SENT FROM TEXAS.

Coney Island, for the purpose of poisoning Rice. Witness then went on to say that ho procured the poison from his brother in Texas. "What did you get?" "Chloroform and laudanum." "How was the poison sent?" "it was sent by express. A small package containing the poison came. 1 think by the American express." "Did you sign a receipt?" "I did." Jones testified that he delivered the poison to Patrick about three weeks before the death of Mr. Rice. Jones then went on to testify that Patrick had never been Introduced to Rice up to tho time of the latter's death. "As far as I know." Jones yaM. "Rico never saw Patrick b'.'.t once. This was an evening when 1 'a trick called .n me. Rice, nguinst his custom, wis Uj Irrte, l!" looked in the parlor and saw Patrick, who was seated th-re. Next morning lie askd who the baldheaded man with the red beard was. I told Mr. Rice it was a friend of mine." .Mr. Osborne then referred to the assignments transferring the property of Mr. Rice to J'atrick, which were executed on Sept. 7. Jones said that on that date he went down to Patrick's office. Together with Meyer they went to nee Short. Then, all except Patrick, went together to the Rice apartments. Jones was handed a deed for Identification. He said it was witnessed by Meyer on Sept. 7. "Did Mr. Rice sign any general assignment on that day?" "He did not." The witness said Mr. Il!ce prepared all his meals himself. Witness was then shown

the general assignments transferring all 1 the property of Mr. Rice to Patrick. Jones testified that Rice did not sign tho assignments. He added that two of the papers were those which, at l'atrick's reuuest, he had drawn on his typewriting machine. . THK PLOT THICKKXS. "Jones, you will state all the conversation that took place between you and Patrick in relation to getting Rice out of the way?" said Mr. Osborne. "About the end of August," witness replied, "Patrick asked me whether I had got tho laudanum from the drug store at Coney island. I said I had not, but that I had made some other arrangements to get the poison. "Patrick then told me to give Rice sapolio, as that would break him down. I told Patrick I could not do that, but I told him I had some mercurial pills which Dr. Curry gave me. Patrick said I ought to give, them to Rice. 1 told Patrick I could not do so without taking them myself in his presence. 'Then do that,' said Patrick; 'it won't do any harm.' I took some of the pills in Rice's presence and then' left the bottle of pills on the dresser. Rice took some. This brought on a severe diarrhoea, which weakened him, but after he got over this attack tho mercury seemed to do him good." Witness also said that by the same method he got Rice to take some mercurial tablets which Patrick had given him. "Would Rice take anything you took?" "Yes; and he would never take medicine unless I first took some in his presence. All medicine that was sent him I had to taste when he saw it." "Dr. Curry called every day for about ten days previous to the death of Mr. Rice?" "Yes; and Mrs. Van Alstyne called on the Thursday previous to his death. Rice became worse rapidly. When Mrs. Charles Carpenter, of Dunellon. N. Y., called, on Friday, Mr. Rice told her that he wishe d he was dead." Jones then related what took place on the day of the death of Mr. Rice. "I saw Patrick at his house," said he. "He told me to let him know if Rice grew better or worse. He would then get from his ottice a bottle of oxalic acid, he said, to epilcken Rice's nerve." Rice got better and about noon he wanted to get up. He talked cheerfully about going down town and seemed improved. Jones said he could not get Rice to take the oxalic acid. He then telephoned to Patrick to meet him at luncheon at a restaurant on Sixth avenue, near Fiftieth street. "I met him there," Jones continued. "Patrick gave me the bottle of chloroform. Ho told me to saturate a towel In chloroform and leave It over his face for about thirty minutes. He said Rice would probably laugh, but that I should not be scared, as that would only show the poison was beginning to work and that it would soon be over. RICE CHLOROFORMED. "I did as Patrick told me. I returned home, took a napkin and saturated it with chloroform. I put it on my own face first and then put it over the face of Mr. Rice and left the room. I walked up and down in the hall several times. The bell rang a number of times. 1 did not open the door. Finally after about half an hour I went Into Mr. Rice's room. I raised the window, took the napkin and towel away from his face and placed them both in the range, where I burnt them. "1 rent a hall boy for Dr. Curry, telling him that Mr. Rice was very bad. I went to the telephone to tell Patrick that Rice was pretty near gone. When Dr. Curry came I'atrick was with him. I told them Rice was dead. 'Dead! Oh, my God. doctor, that Is the worst thing that could have happened to me!' said Patrick." Jones testified at length about the post morten lucidents. He said I'atrick on the day following took charge of the apartments. On that elay, Jones testified, at the request of I'atrick he made out the checks for 525.000 and $135,000, respectively, on Sweifson & Sons and the Fifth-avenue Trust Company. Jones said Patrick also took charge of about $430 in bills and eight or nine silver dollars from a drawer in the millionaire's writing desk. Jones said I'atrick also took away two gold watches and all the private papers of Mr. Rice. , The testimony that followed related to the notifications sent to the relatives, the funeral and the stepping in of the authorities. Here Jones was excused and an adjournment was taken until to-morrow. Refore adjournment the medicine chest, which caused so much trouble at the forenoon session, was produced in court. It proved to be a common wooden box which contained sixty-six bottles, some of them empty. Justice Jerome ordered it taken to the district attorney's ottice. Surrogate Thomas made an order to-day directing the temporary administrator of the estate of the late William Marsh Rice, who was appointed by the Texas courts to take charge of the property left by the deceased millionaire in that State, to produceall his books and accounts for examination here pending the contest over the two wills alieged to have been executed by Mr. Rice. The application was made by Lawyer William 11. Hornblower, counsel for the executors of the will executed in 1V6. and which Is opposed by Albert T. I'atrick. now in the Tombs on charges of murder and forgery. The executors of this will oppose the probate of a will executed shortly before Mr. Rice's death and which is alleged to have been forged by Patrick, who is made residuary legatee. SAME OLD EVIDENCE. It "Will He I'secl to Convlet ltlple ns It Convicted Cnleli Power. FRANK FO RT, Ky.. April 2. The case of Capt. fiarnett D. Ripley, the lLnry county captain of a militia company who is tinder indictment for alleged complicity in the Coebel murder, was called thi morning. The list of witnesses called by the commonwealth Indicates that very much the same evidence as that brought out In the trial of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers last summer is to be brought out In the trial, with :ome new features relating to Ripley. So many witnesses on both sides failed to answer that the attorneys consulted and agreed to postpone the case and call It for trial next Tuesday. Among the witnesses for the prosecution who were present wre ex-Jovernor W. O. Hradley, ex-Chief Justice J. II. Hazlerisg. ex-Adjutant Ccneral Collier and othrs. Ripley is represented by J. IT. O'Neill and William Cravens, and the State by State's Attornev Franklin. County Attorney Polsgrove and Judge R. tJ. Williams. T. C.

April 2.-0nly one event i . . f l . . . . . 1 . . . . l.r.iri-i'lin.' ! ut the annual trap shooting tournament at Interstate Park. This was the natural lewder handicap at sixteen birds, $10 entrance, handicaps from twenty-five to thirty-three yards, the marks allotted by the handicappers for the Grand American handicap to govern. Two hundred entries were received up to noon and enly one man failed to toe the mark. When all of them hud fired the first round of the four trap?, It was found that over ninety had killed four straight. Among the first to fall down was your.g Harold Money, the American iirnateur champion. The wind blew directly into the faces of the shooters and Money, when he stepped, to the mark for the first bird, felt confident in grassing it. When thi trap was sprung the bird proved to be un incomer, but, although the champion hit it with both barrels, the wind carried the bird over the dead line. Tod Sloan was not in very good form to-day. He shot from the twenty-seven-yard mark, but missed his fourth and eighth birds and then withdrew from the contest. He had plenty of companions who were forced to retire, having missed two or more birds, and. in fact, all those who missed a single bird out of their string of sixteen stood no chance of getting into the money. Out of the big field of lir.) starters, only thirty-one succeeded In killing sixteen birds straight. The weather conditions were more favorable to the shooters than on the opening day, as the light was more subdued and tho wind was not nearly so strong, in addition to its being in a different direction. The birds were eeiually as good as those trapped yesterday, but Tom Murphy, who has charge of the selection of the pigeons, said to-day that those picked out for the Great American handicap, which will begin tomorrow and be continued on Thursday and possibly Friday, will be the swiftest flyers that ever flew from the traps at Interstate Park. Six additional entries were received to-day for the big event, making 213 in all. It is expected that at least a dozen or more will be received before the second round has been shot to-morrow and the number of contestants will probably be larger than that of last year, when 211 took part in tho Great American. The officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were on hand again to-day to see that the birds which fell outside the boundary were picked up and killed as coon as possible. This was done at frequent Intervals during the day. In the natural powder handicap to-day the entrance moneys amounted to $1.M. Thirty-one killed sixteen straight and each received $t4. Following is the list of those with straight kills to their credit: J. A. R. Elliot. Kansas City; Charles E. Mink, Philadelphia; Teal, Columbus, O.; Dr. E. Duncan, Louisville, Ky. ; R. I. Triable.

It will be late to-morrow before the exact figures on the election are known. Two men were slightly wounded during the day in difficulties at the polls, but the day was comparatively quiet, considering the fierceness of the content. Numerous arrests on the charge of illegal voting and the carrying of concealed weapons were made during the day. GAIS IX MIIIUASKA, IlepuhlicnnN Inerenne Their Mnjorlly nt AV. J. Hrynii'N Home. LINCOLN, Neb., April 2. Mayor Hudson J. Winnett, Republican, was re-elected today by a slightly increased majority. Every other Republican city candidate is elected, together with members of the School Board. The- Republicans make a gain of one excise man, have five of the seven councilmen and have probably made a clean sweep of all the wards, a gala of one councilman. In the smaller towns of the State, with a few exceptions, party lines were not drawn, the issue being the licensing of saloons. At Wahoo-the Republican nominee for mayor was elected by a majority of one, together with most of the candidates on that ticket. I'lattsmouth elected a Republican city attorney, a democratic chief of police and a majority of the Democratic councilmen. At Hastings it is nearly an even split between the Republicans and Democrats. Humboldt, after being without saloons for four years, elected a license board, as did Nelson and Hebron. Reaver City, Stromsburg and St. Edward voted against license. OMAHA. Neb.. April 2. The issue in nearly every small town In the State was license or no license and reports received to-night from fifty vilages indicate that the majority of them have gone for licenses. The vote was generally light. - 11 1 : x v 1 : 11 it !: 1 1 11 1.1 c a x. About n,000 Plurality on All Candidates, Except Jlnyor. DENVER, Col., April 2. The city election to-day has gone heavi'y Republican, the only part which is at all in doubt being the mayoralty and some of the members of the Council. Henry V. Johnson, present mayor, ran independently on a ticket which, with two or three exceptions, was Identical with that of the Republicans, headed by Robert R. Wright. The combined vote for the two is conceded by hailing Democrats to exceed that for the Democratic ticket, headed by Judge F. T. Wells, from t.oix) to :".i"0. Johnson's vote is not far from 4.0o. which leaves the vote for mayor in doubt. The Republicans will probably have a majority in the Council. Notwithstanding sensational rumors during the day there wore im serious disturbances. Early this afternoon Mayor Johnson issued a proclamation declaring that frauds were being perpetrated at the poll and calling for volunteers to serve as special policemen. Hundreds responded to the call and. Gen. Irving Hale was placed In command of them. There were few arrests, however. ' Colorado Springs elected the entire Republican ticket by from 1,1A to majority.

EVANSVILLE. Ind., Apiil 2.-The city election board completed Its w,ork this evening. The expected rows during the canvass did not materialize. Great crowds of voters of both parties were present and partisans were noisy. The Democrats last night thought they had grounds for contest and loudly declared they would count Covert out. To-day this talk was kept up until for a while there were fears of trouble. From the quiet manner in which the count proceeded- It seems that much of this talk on the part of Democratic leaders was for the purpose of exciting the Republicans and was not serious. Charles O. Covert, Republican, has a majority of 82 over John W. Boehne. Democrat. Mr. Covert was a former newspaper reporter and ia about thirty-seven years old. He was sheriff for two terms, and Is regarded as a fine politician. Boehne b a stove manufacturer and a man of large means. The Republicans get eight of the eleven councilmen. License or Xo I-leense.

"He seemed unable to make up his mind regarding the oath of allegiance to the United States," she says, "because he had sworn eternal fealty to the Filipino flag and had been elected leader of the revolution. He showed a disinclination to assist in ending the insurrection, though ho bowed somewhat to public sentiment. Ho wanted a conference in order to ascertain the wishes of the Filipino people, and suggested that a convention consisting half of insurgents and half of pacificos should decide the matter. "I trlrt him that f0 per cent, of the population were in favor ef peace and he responded: 'Even so. my lot is yet with those upholding the cause of the insurgents. With thlr consent I would quit, but otherwise how can 1? By the trickery of the Americans I was capture I. Now ttiat 1 am a prisoner 1 must consider what is best. Liberty is sweet, but those whom 1 deserted would hate mo. liard is my lot. If paroled I would respect my word, but sometimes I think exile and imprisonment would Ik preferable.' " When A;;L?!r.aldc arrived here he asked to sec Mabhd. On b ing told that Mabini w:-s in Guam ho wished to consult with Chief Jurtice Aroiano, General Trias and Salasa. the secretary of the inteiior in the so-called Filipino gov rnment. who rurrendcred with General Trias. They urged him to reoeet upon the ruin already wrought ami th woe and oestructlon which a continuance of war would entail, and they advised hint to accept American clemency. Others did the same. Aguinaldo stubbornly held out, but allowed himself bv degrees to be persuaded. Senorita Problete says that Aguinaldo snows a distrust of the educated Filipinos and is largely guided by the prejudices of the lower class. His wife, mother and sis'ter visit him daily. OX 15 OF Afil IXAI.PO'S AGEXTS. VIewH of Sito Lopez, Who WmitN Hin Chief to "Ma he a Statement. BOSTON, April 2. The following statement bearing on the announcement that Aguinaldo had taken the oath of allegiance was given out by Senor Sixto Lopez to-day: "If th. report of Aguinaldo's having taken the oath of allegiance conn s through olP.cial channels it must be taken as authentic, but until it is thus officially confirmed I naturally hesitate to believe It. But. assuming that It is true, under what contitl-n did Aguinaldo take the oath? If ho has taken tin- oath and submitted to American sovereignty without any stipulation as to ultimate Independence he will have lost the respect of the Filipino generally, his influence with them will be entirely destroyed and the war will continue as heretofore. I do not believe that fear would induce Agulualdo

to take the oath, or that a threat of deportation or even of execution would have the slightest effect on the man who has shown such conspicuous bravery in the field. But If he were convinced by official or uno'Ilcial assurances that the struggle, however Icng or valiantly maintained, would be hopeless, that submission would be the shortest road to independence, and that ultimate Independence would actually be secured by his taking the oath and by inducing his fellow-countrymen to do likewise. It is possible he may have taken the oath without sacrificing his honor or his aspiration and hope for the independence of the country. "The fact of his havini? taken the oath if it is a fact-is not of itself significant until it is known under what conditions or pressure he was induced to take It. It is Improper to ;-ass judgment on his action until we know what ho himself has to sav about it. I therefore hope that he will be allowed to make a statement, free from official interference or censorship. Fntil he does this I. for one, will reserve judgment as to the demerits or merits of his act." An Irreconcilable "Auntie' BOSTON. April 2. Erving Winslow. secretary of the Anti-imperialist League, was informed that Aguinaldo had taken the oath of allegiance to-day. The secretary said he did not see how that affected the work of his organization. "It does not concern us what attitude the Filipinos may take as much as it does what the Lnited States may do. Our battle has not been fought for the Filipinos, but for the constitutional liberty of America." II IS LAST IMIOCLAMATIOX.

AKuInnldo'a Inntructlons In IteRnrrt to Captured America 11s. WASHINGTON, April 2. Copies of what was probably the full text of the last proclamation issued by Aguinaldo. previous to his capture by General Funston have been received at the War Department, where they attracted considerable attention. The proclamation is contained in the Filipinas ante Europa, the organ of the Filipino insurgents, published at Madrid, Spain. It appears in the issue of that paper of March 10, 1901. Following is a complete translation of the article: "The following proclamation has been recently received by this paper, which will probably satisfy the clamor of all Filipinos! " 'Don Emillo Aguinaldo. President of the Philippines Republic, captain general and general-in-chief of her army; " 'Heart-broken groans of the oppressed and of their unfortunate families and energetic protests from the entire people of the Philippines come to my far-off camp on account of the unheard-of cruelties and scornful violations of the most elementary principles of war committed by the imperialists, who, under the pretext of some Americans having been killed, hang their prisoners of war by means which are both repugnant and Inhumane, the agony lasting about fifteen minutes, according to the press of Manila, which is censored, or otherwise submitting them to unheard-of tortures, according to the official communications from my various commanding generals; and if this were not sufficient, the military government of the Invading army has proclaimed martial law, placing beyond the protection of law, not only the Filipinos under arms, but also all peaceful residents, whom they arrest and deport without giving them a hearing, almost always for no other purpose but to loot their houses and treasures or to await a ransom or bribe for their liberty. " 'According to the censored press of Manila, during the month of October only thirty-six Filipinos In various provinces were hung; the totals for the months of November and December were the same, and during the first ten days of this month the United States courts-martial have cone'emned to the same Inhuman death the following: Fifteen in San lsidro. Doretl? Noul and his fellow martyrs; six in Tayabas, one in Baler, one in Bolinao, one in Pagasin, one in Donzol and three in Tayabas, a total of twenty-eight death sentences in ten days, according to information given to the press by the staff of the enemy. "In addition to all this the invaders have committed another violation of the Geneva international treaty by employing against us our own countrymen, who have old themselves to them, sowing by this atrocious measure the seeds of a civil war, which could very well occur after this war, which is desolating this poor country. If those now counted as traitors should form a regular group, and thus making more anil more remote. the coming of tho long-sought-l"or peace. 1 protest, therefore, before God and the honorable men of the whole world. In the name of the people, against such iniquitous measures, and for our defence 1 order and command: "Article 1. All guerrilla chiefs, as soon as they capture any armed American c.i'en, shall take him into thj Interior at once and shall communicate with the chief e? the nearest American detachment, urgently requesting the exchange of prisoners at the rate of one American for three Filipinos, for the many who are condemned to eieath by them and who expect to be led to execution at any moment, and inform him that he would be responsible for the reprisals which we would ourselves be obliged to take In our just defense. If said American chief should refuse to make the exchange requested the American prisoners shall be eluly shot, whatever be their number, which punishment is fixed in the Spanish penal code, which we have adopted for those who attack our national integrity, if, after four days after the exchange requested, the execution of some Filipino sentenced by the Americans should be announced. "Article 2. Preference shall also be given in exchange of prisoners to deported Filipinos and to those who have rendered signal service to the cause of our independence. "Article 3. The promoters of the so-called Federal party shall be submitted as traitors to a most summary court-martial, and those who stimulate the invaders to pursue and prosecute our fellow-countrymen who do not wish to Identify themselves therewith shall be punished with special severity, and after those who are guilty have been sentenced they shall be captured and punished wherever they may be and by any tncaiis which may be possible. "Article 4. The commanding generals and all guerrilla chiefs in their respective districts are intrusted with and responsible for a speedy execution of this general order.

Their Multiplication n. Tiling to De Denlred. Philadelphia Record. The Increased number of visitors to th resorts of Florida this reason is a matter for distmct congratulation. Well-to-do pleasure seekers could not do the country a more material service than by inaugurating a fashion which would result in the retention on this Fide of the ocean of the greater part of the $10ö.fr.noü now spent abroad annually by rich Americans. There Is another side to this question, however, than the material one of kec-pinp good American dollars, more or less hard earned, out of the Krasp of foreign lingers and In the capacious pockets of American landlords and of others who tind the entertainment of wealthy visitors an agreeably profitable occupation. It is the asthetic side a development which follows as a natural consequence. With the abturance of continually Increasing patronage scores of little towns, not on the Florida coast alone, but elsewhere within sight of blue waters would Fpruce up. Parks and gardens would be laid out, and sand dunes would blossom like the gardens of Omar. All this would not be for the sole benefit of the excessively rich pleasure seeker. The visitor of limited income would have his Innings, too, since after the resorts should have once been established anel paid for by the rich his patronage would also b tought after by the hotel keepers. In a hundred places In Europe the man cf moderate means, who philosophically enjoys the delight of looking at a beautiful landscape in nature or on canvas a much as does the possessor thereof, finds that fashion has left in her wake charming places where he may be well content to spend a restful day or week. It would be well, indeed, if fashion's new found devotion to American winter resorts and summer resorts as well should have here tho same result. A Complicated lpltnph. Youth's Companion.
