In very small quantities and of doubtful

tho townstte, and comes out of a marshy
place at tho edge of n dry run. It comes
out mixed with water, t-o that no very good
specimens havo been obtained. Tho Green

small holo dug In the ground .and It proves
to bo petroleum. Tho editor of the Times,
Mr. Dowley, claims to bo familiar with
the oil business and he and many others
havo staked out. claims, which they hope
to Hold under tuo mineral laws.
Tho owners of tho property on which tho
II Is found refuse to sell, nlthouch offered

NKW YORK, April 3. Charles I". Jones,
who was the valet-sccrutary to William
Marsh Itlce, tho aged millionaire, who, ac
cording to Jones' confession yesterday, was
murdered by the use of chloroform In Sep
tember last, finished his testimony today
on direct examination In the proceedings
beforo Justice Jerome, chnrglug Albert r.
Patrick with murder.
According to the story of tlm valct-scc-
retary. he nnd Patrick had drawn up the
bogus will and wore waiting with what pa
tience they could for Klce to die, when a
mill burned down In Texas. Illco's rela
tives there desired to rebuild It and he
poke of advancing the $100,000 or $125,000
required to rcplnce the burned property.
"Patrick told tne to use all my inlluenco
1th Klce," said Jones today, "not to rc
build t he mill, ns this would take all the
ready rash from the estate.
Hut Hlco insisted on advancing the money
nd presently authorized n draft for $2.",
000 from one of his correspondents In Texas
Word of the draft arrived In New York
nd Jones, In accordance with hla com
pact, told Patrick nbout It. It was only
$25,000, but. according to tho vnlet, Pat
rick felt that he could not sparo even this
much out of tho millions that he was al
ready counting ns his own.
Di't-lfli-N to IIiihIi'II Dentil.
"He then said," testified Jones, "that
he would havo to do something to gel Hlco
out of the way before Monday, when tho
Ira ft would urrlve."
Kven moro Illustrative of tho caution and
thoroughness of the alleged plot conceived
nd carried out by these men was another
Instance related by Jones. The manager of
Hire's estate In Texas, a man named Cohen
was In the habit of sending to Hlco monthly
check mado out in ills name tor his
ilary. Itlce paid him by signing the check
nd mailing it back to him. When one of
these checks came along, and nfter Hlco
nd signed It and given it to Jones to mail
ho turned it over to Patrick In order that
tho latter might practice on th) hlgnature
Tho next chock that came from Cohen wns
signed with the forgery of Hlco's name nni!
out nlong In order, by Its passage through
ho batiks of Texas, that they might tes
tho merit of their forgery. Tho experiment
was an entire success and gave them great
confidence in the greater forgeries yet to
come.
When asked about the effort he had
mado at suicide In the Tombs Jones told o
Patrick's suggesting that he take the blame
of the whole thing, of his refusal to do so
ot Patrick's handing him a knife with which
to cut his throat and of the throat-cutting
itself, with apparently no feeling.
Kobcrt E. Moore. Patrick's lawyer, and
tho same man who saved Dr. Kennedy from
the death fhalr at the recent trial, went
about the cross-examination In a spirit of
thoroughness that would have dlamaye
most men. Gradually he felt along the out
line ot Jones' ttory until ho had satisfied
himself that there was nothing to be galne
by n patient slego and then ho attempted t
storm Jones' position. When he spoke
tho Idling ot Itlce he called It murder nnd
he kept the electric chair In the mind o
tho nun on tho witness stand, who answcrei;
everything as calmly and quietly as If tho
thing was merely a perfunctory rehearsal
It was Impossible to shake the testimony
of the witness. He had a memory like n
nlmnunc, and his replies were photograph
like In their brevity.
A'Uli)Mvl-iI;t- IIU .MotUr.
Perhaps tho only point whero the at
torneys for Patrick oven appeared to shako
the nerve and tho confidence of Jones was
when they extorted a statement from him
that tic hoped by telling Ills present story
to escape the death penalty for murder. Ho
said ills lawyer, Mr. Uattle, had assured
him that ho could do nothing for him; he
knew Uattle had tallied to Osborno nnd ho
gathered thnt if ho did tell tho whole truth
some mcasuro of consideration would bo
shown htm. This nnd his conscience, ho
said, induced him to admit hla guilt ot mur
der.
Patrick's defense will be a genera) de
nial. It will not lie revealed in detnll until
the netual murder trial takes place, which
will probably not be until October. Jones,
according to tho defense, wns tho arch con
spirator and Patrick was only the Innocent
tool of tho vnlet. The greatest stress will
bo laid upon the fact by the defense that
Jones Is a self-confessed perjurer and that
in consequence his testimony and confes
sions should obtain no credence.
Trlln of Df-tfftlvc'H VUlt.
Jones rclntcd that ou Monday, tho
day following; Itlcc's death, four
men who represented themselves to bo
lawyers calltd at tho fiat and asked ques
tions concerning tho circumstances Biir
rotiudlng tho death. Joues told Patrick ho
thought these men were detectives. The
next morning Jones Wfnt to police head
quarters. When hcireturned homo he found
a number ot detectives In the place. Qu
Tuesday attcrnoon ho was tnkon to police
headquarters, where he was questioned. Ho
foiind Patrick also at headquarters. Patrick
told Jones hu had discovered tho will wit
nessed in his (Patrick's) ofTlco and a num
ber of bogus letters were written on tho
will matter. On this occasion, Jones testi
fied, Patrick asked when Hlco had last been
given mercury.
"I told him on Thursday," said Jones.
"Patrick then told mo thero would not bo
any traces of that left In tho systom at tho
time ot the autopsy and that the embalming
fluid would kill all traces ot tho oxalic acid,
which was a vegetable poison."
Witness then told of Dr. Curry having
corns to the apartments on Tuesday, where
ho met Patrick, Tho two had a long tnlk
which Jones did not hear Tho so-called
Patrick will was then brought up. Jones
said ho had told Patrick that tho pro
visions for Hlce'n relatives' Interests, which
was discovered on tho day following Hlco's
death, were too small, ami that It would he
Impossible to get It probated. Patrick,
Jones said, then had tho so-called Patrick
will drawn. Tho witness related nt length
the Incidents of the day when the body of
Hlcfi was cremated.
While tho testimony about tho will wns
being given, Captain Ilakor of Toxas, who
was an executor ot tho 1898 will, entered
tho trial room. He carried a bundle ot
papors nnd some typewritten matter and
said ho might bo called ns a witness.
From tho events of tho day on which
tho body waa cremated, Jones passed oVer
jo the happenings of October 4, the evenlug
of tlm day tie was arrested. Jones says he
was taken to police headquarters at about
10 o'clock In the evening and was taken
down stairs nnd locked up an hour later.
Ho said before ho was locked up that he
made a statement which was entirely ficti
tious and of which he could not recall
oven the saliont. features.
Jones then told how Mr. House bad been
appointed lawyer ot both Patrick and him
self nnd the events surrounding their com
mitment to the tombs. From hero Jones
passed to his attempt to commit suicide.
He snld that at tho time he attempted
sulrlde at the Tombs, Patrick had agreed to
kill himself also. "
"Soma time before I tried to ccnir.ilt sui
cide Mr. House came to me lu the Tombs
i
and wanted to know If a murder had been
committal. I told him there had been no
murder,"
Lawyer Moore objected. Ho said It was
nt n nuejtlon of nrlvlleee. but that where
two defendants' had the same counsel What
went on between ono defendant and the
counsel could not under the laws ot evi
dence be permitted. Mr. Osborne said be
did not w-ant any of the conversation be
tween Jones and his counsel nnd asked tne
former to confine himself exclusively to any
conversation that had taken place between
himself and Patrick. Juitlce Jcrsome al
lowed the cvldeuee already given to stand.
Agrrm in Kill Hlnim-lf.
"On the day before tho attempt was
made." said Jones, "Patrick and 1 had a
talk In the reception room nt the Tombs.
Patrick told me his means were exhausted
and that they were lu desperate straits.
Patrick wanted me to shoulder tho respon
sibility for tho crime. I told him I would
not confess unless I could tell n straight
story. I Kald 1 would rather kill myself on
account of the disgrace of the thing.
Patrick said this might be tho best thing for
its both and snld he would kill himself, too.
Ho said ho had u small knife In his cell.
The knlfn would do for ono and ho would
try to get some carbolic acid from Mr.
Potts. Ho gavo mo the knife. I put it in
my shoo and took It to my cell. Later Potts
called. Patrick told me Potts would noi
get him the poison. About 1 o'clock In tho
afternoon, nfter I had gotten tho knife, I
sat in my cell writing some letters and pre
paring for tho ond. Just then I wns canon
to the district attorney's ofilce. While
there I made a confession. 1 was brought
bnck to my cell In, tho evening and at about
1 o clock In tho morning I tried to cut my
throat."
Jones then told of being tnken to Hello-
vue and there making n new confession.
Tho new confession is tho one on which his
present testimony Is basod. Jones ex
plained todny what ho meant yesterday
when he said that Patrick did not wish blm
to live until Monday, ns on that day n draft
would bo payable. The witness said that a
week or so before tho death of Hlco cer
tain oil wolls In Texas In which he was In
terested wero destroyed by tire. Illce re
solved to rebuild them and bound himself
to provide nearly $200,000 for tho rebuild
ing. On the strength of tuts tne on wen
people drew 'or $23,000, the draft being
payablo on Monday, September 21. Jones
testified again today that Patrick wished to
avoid the payment of this money.
1 said," witness continued, "on Saturday
that the old man would probably drop off.
Patrick said we could not rely on that, but
had to get him out of the way the next
day."

notifying relatives of Hlco's death were
tilarcd In evidence. They all rend alike,

The clinging snow has broken down all
the wires along the Pennsylvania system
track between East Liberty and Huntington.
TraluB ore stalled at various points, the
dispatchers are unablo to straighten out the
tangle, and the whole division Is more or
less paralyzed. Tho snow upon the moun
tains Is from twelve to fifteen Inches in
depth, nnd is so heavy that It has brought
down poles nnd wires all along the road
under Its weight. Kxtra engines have been
required on' all the trains and uuless the
snowfall censes soon a blockade Is ccptaln.
Tho Buffalo Allegheny Valley system
Is In almost the samo condition. On the
Western New York &. Pennsylvania division
tho snow is from ton to fifteen inches In

Tho traction companies, after hard work,
succeeded In reopening service on most of
their llneB about 2 o'clock. Owing to tho
very general prostration of poles and wires
It will bo days before telephone communi

The storm, which began at 7 o'clock last
night with a heavy rain, continued un

when it changed to a heavy, wot snow,
which continued until 1 o'clock this after
noon In Allegheny, at tho head of Fed-

many tona of. earth and stono, covering
the Street ear tracks to a depth of five
feet, when the storm passed westward, and
as a result the cast end, Wllklnsburg,
Uraddock and the other suburbs lying in
that direction, suffered tho most.
A Two horses .were electrocuted by fallen

Charles I Chandler of the Columbia

lending chemists and physicians who re
cently testified upon tho subject beforo the

Dr. Thompson remarked; "The uso of

I am posltlvo of this. It has especially n
tendency to produce rickets."
Dr. Kdson snld In part: "There is no
question that taking alum bread frequently

Dr. ninhop snld: "All admit that alum In

Dr. Shrady said: "Alum used In food in
any way Is vory doleterious. This Is tho
opinion of the medical profession."
The other leading physicians expressed
substantially tho same thoughts and somo
urged that the manufacture or sale ot bak

that no other business of public Importance
wns transacted,
Tho M.M1 and Express, discussing Mr.
Gould's election to tho Southern Pacific
board, says: The election of Mr. Gould
Is probably of more significance from the
point of view of possible developments in
tho railroad world than that of any of the
other directors. His system Is in a sense
Independent of tho transcontinental lines,
but In formulating what has been termed
tho Oreater Missouri Pacific system it Is
bellovcd that ho will havo to make an al
llanco with some of them. It Is not to be
supposed from todny's developments that
tho Missouri Pacific In tho futuro will use
the Central Pacific from Ocdon to the
coast. By tho acquisition of the Hlo Grande
Western nnd tho Denver & Hlo Grnndo
It now has a through line from St. Louis to
Ogden.

PHILLIPS MEETS CRISIS
IH'nlci-N III AVhrnt I'll I'urrr llllii In
."ell nl llcnty
I.Ohl.
CHICAGO, April C (leorgo II. Phillips,
who.te daring operations In grain have made
him the cynosure of all speculative eyes
Interested In the cereal markets, passed n
crlls In his career on tho Hoard of Trade
today. He was driven front the wheat pit,
the weakest of his defenses, but stood firm
behind the breastworks of corn and onto
he haa thrown up during the last few
weeks.
Monday n call for additional margins
was mado and the young speculator put up
$220,000. Yesterday It was reported thnt
an additional call would be mado today
and that a tremendous ouslnughti calcu
lated to force him to thu wnll, would be
mado by. the big operators. At the tap of
the opening gong today the attack began.
Phillips produced $200,000 additional mar
gin money lu response tho second call.
Severely pressed, he retreated from the
wheat pit after selling LfiOO.OOU 1 ushuls of
MHy wheat at a loss which will probably
average 1 cents per bushel. May wheat
opened '.a cent to l?i cents under Monday
nt T3;A cents to T3 cents under the deluge
of sales, but steadied nt thi decline. The
corn market, In which Phillips Is said to
ho Interested to the extent of S.000,000 or
10,000,000 bushels, broke K of n cent to
l'.i cents nt the opening, selling slmiil
tnucoiisly from 12-7; cents to 12 cents. The
volume of business during the first
ten minutes wns enormous, but tho market
received spirited support from tho young
bull lender, who absorbed hrnvy lines
through brokers. Weak longs scrambled to
get out from under what they thought to be
u crumbling market, but others rallied to
Phillips' side. The first outburst over,
trnue became less excited and May torn
worked gradually buck to 13 cents. In oats
the attack waa also strenuous, but again
Phillips, holding u line estimated at 0,000,
000 bushels, defended himself with great
spirit and the opening loss of Vi of n cent
wns nearly all recovered during the first
hour.
Other markets, notably St. Louis, were
weakened yesterday by the bears In prep
aration for the light hero today, it Is Bald
A decllno nt Liverpool, it was also re
ported, was In a measure due to manlpula
tion from this side.
From 43 cents Mny corn on later trading
reacted to IOTh cents. Profit taking by shorts
nnd buying for a turn caused a rally from
this to 42 cents. Tho closing price wns
41 cents, 1 cents under Monday's close.
May wheal closed 2 conts lower, nt 72-j,
iSa cents, after having touched 71 cents.
May oats closed of a cont depressed
nt 24TA cents. The afternoon had been as
trying as the earlier part of tho day on
Phillips, but he retired from tho floor ap
parently cool and confident. "The mar
ket," ho said, "needed n shako up."
