CONSIDERS OSBORNE A CONSPIRATOR
Allcr Hint the AaslNtniit DIMi-lel
Attorney In Aiding h Delllirrntc
Kftorl to Defeat End
of Justice.
NEW YORK, April 7. Lawyer Albert T.
Patrick, who Is charged with the murder
f Millionaire William Hlcc, made a state
ment tonight concerning the case.
He had been nuked to say something con
cerning a story printed in a morning paper
o the effect that Valet Joucs had spent
cvoral hours, accompanied by u policeman
ttached to tho district attorney's office,
In touring tho tenderloin district. Ac
cording to this story, hotels, concert halls
and gardens and theaters had been visited
by tho prisoner and his attendant and
ozens of Orlnkn taken. On this point
Lawyer Patrick said;
"I havo know thnt this kind of thing
hus ben going on for seveial weeks. 1
could not havo sworn that such was tho
rase, but 1 havo heard from various sources
that Jones was plentifully supplied with
money, was taken out buggy riding and
was otherwise treated with kindness nud
consideration,"
Patrick then went on to speak of tho
Rico murder case. Thla Is tho first time
that ho has mado any statement since IiIj
rrcst.
.tniH'N Murderer.
Jones never killed W. M. Hlcc. Had
ho dono so ho never would havo testified to
It, especially as the district attorney lia.i
promised him no Immunity, nor would his
counsel, even though provided by Cap
tain Dakcr, have permitted him to do so.
His confidence Is due to the fact, that v.
M. Rice, at the age of SI, died of heart
failure, aa did his brother, V. A, Hlco, yes
terday at tho age of 70, and there will never
be any proof otherwise. The only crime
of which Jones Is guilty Is that of con
spiring against the 1000 will, and that of
perjury lu tho present proceedings. His
folry story Is the result of a collaboration
with Captain James A. Dakcr, Jones' law
yer; Mr. Dattle, who Is hired by Dakcr;
Assistant District Attorney Osborne and
Prof. Wltthatis, tho professional expert,
whoso report Osborne for the last six
months has been expecting "In a few dnys
and who swoio that ltlco died of mer
curlal poisoning, If ho did not die of somo
thing else.
Why He In Prosecuted.
'Tho object of Jones' story Is to have mo"
held In prison pending the will litigation
I have already been In prison six months
on the forgeiy charge, without even being
Indicted, and I do not believe that there
la any Kerlous Intention to try rau on a
criminal charge beforo a Jury. My arrest
on a murder charge and the desperate at
tempt to hold me Is due entirely to my
ability and attempt to glva ball upon any
less serious charge. The stock In trade
of the opposition to tho 1900 will Is their
already demonstrated ability to control tho
district attorney's office; that Is to say that
portion presided over by Osborne, over
which there seems to be no administrative
supervision.
"8o far, the tactics employed against me
havo been tho giving out by Mr. Osborne
continually of statements known by him
to bo false, in order to cause the public
to prc-Judge mo guilty so as to Justify
false Imprisonment and to prevent a fair
trial; the wrongful Imprisonment tt myself
and the hounding by detectives of thoso
who appear to favor me; the abuse of the
process of the courts by wrongfully sub
poonalng In tho namo of tho court, persons
to personally appear beforo him and sub
mlt to examinations In his ofllcc.
Spore the Expert.
"The use, under tho gulxe of witnesses
of professional handwriting experts to
swear that the signatures of tho 1900 will.
checks, assignments, etc., aro forgeries and
tho procuring of false testimony are all
In the same line. Jones aworo on tho wit
ncss stand and Osborno admitted it In open
court that Jones had Informed Osborne
about January that Jones had killed Mr
Rico with chloroform and that subsequently
In collaboration with Wltthatis on Fcbru
ary 27, tho present complaint charging mo
with killing Rice with mercurial poison
was made at tho Instance of Osborne lu an
attempt to deprive me of all. knowledge
of the nature of tho accusation ngnlnst me
until ho had used a witness whom ho sup
posed to bo for me.
"I havo been Informed that Jones for
several weeks past has been permitted to
roam tho streots. So far us I am con
cerned, I havo no objection provided that
Jones bo kept within the Jurisdiction of tho
court.
"It would tako but little corroboration to
convict Jones upon his own confession, but
It would take u great deal to convict me
upon Jones' accusation. It I am held or
Indicted for murder, Jones will certainly
bo also, and I would surely bo acquitted,
but In his effort to have himself corrobo
rated ha might be convicted, innocent
though ho is, and then he would surety ho
electrocuted, for no hand could snvo him.
.loum TnUex Illaks.
"Jones Is staking his life upon the ability
of tho handwriting experts to discredit
RIcc'm signature, which Jones saw him
write and which he shows by bis numerous
statements and uncertain testimony that
ho knows Rice signed.
"Jones may rest assured that those for
whom ho had outlawed himself from man
kind will abandon him when they can no
longer uso him.
"As to my own position, I can only say
that I will be vindicated and will bo able
to discharge all duties Involving on me
and maintain nil rights belonging to me,
all of which, however. Is in tho hauds o
my able and conservative attorney!;.
"Of personal rovengo I have no thought
but If I am over convinced that W. M
Rico was murdered, I shall do my utmost
tu convict all Implicated, In which cvon
I am sure I can provo tho motive to tho
alleged will of 1890 and tho Instigators .o
be persons striving to uphold II, and prove
that Jones did tho deed, believing that he
could thus prevent tho consummation o
Mr. Rice's plans thruugh mo."
District Attorney Phllben was asked today
what ho know of Jones' altjgcd tour of tho
Tenderloin. He replied that ho-knew uoth
lng whatever, except wnat tic had read.
"Haw you at any time given permission
for him to absent himself from the house
of detention, except when he was lu nt
tendance nt court?"
"I have uot," ho replied.
Assistant District Attorney Osborno lo
night said that ho was aware of Jones' trip,
through tho Tenderloin Friday night and
thnt It was taken for tho purpose of locat
lng witnesses to testify In the Rico case. II
added that six witnesses were wanted and
that one had been located by meana of thla
trip.
' Mr. Osborne said: "I have read tho
statement mado by Patrick and havo notli
lng to say. I cannot mako myself popu
lar with tho criminal classes and expect to
be maligned nt cvory chance."

CHICAGO, April 7. Daniel F. Doherty,
nn English tlcket-of-leave man who Is
well known in gambling resorts of New
York and London, has caused the arrest of
his former wife, Mary Doherty, whom ho
charges with obtaining money from blm
under false pretenses.
Fifteen yeari ago. In London, Doherty
slot and killed Colonel George M. Gru-
ham of New York, following a dispute over
a poker game that began on a transatlantic
liner and win continued nt tho Churchill
club In Plrcadllly. Doherty was sentenced
to llfo Imprisonment and wns confined nt
Dartmouth until 1899, when he was released
on a tlcket-of-leave.
Doherty bases his charge against his
former wife upon allegations that sho se
cured a divorce from him while he waa a
pilsooer, but withheld the fact from him
and continued to lake money from him for
hor maintenance. He alleges that since sho
obtained n divorce from him In Philadel
phia In October, 189C, Bho lias had from hli..
about J7.000. He also states ilia -;n he
went to prison he gavo her over $1G,000..

WASHINGTON, April 7. A wide ills
crepancy between tho population figures
given by the statistical authorities or Rio
Janeiro and by the' sanitary authorities
theio Is called to the nttcntlon of the
Marino hospital service in tho annual re
port of Acting Assistant Surgeon Havel-
burg at that port. He says the sanitary
authorities make tho present population
of Rio Janeiro 793.000, while tho statistical
authorities make it 431, 710.
Tho Impression prevails that Rio has a
laiger population than that shown by tho
census, but nut so large as estimated by
tho sanltnry authorities. The figures of the
sanitary authorities show a total mortality
during 1900 of 18 per cent, against over 20
per cent the previous year. Tho number of
still births is equivalent to 77 per 1,000 of
the total births, a lemarhable showing.
The number of dnths has exceeded tho

R. Meyer is president of the American
Smelting company and he has rent his

district which Is owned by a number of
the stockholders of the Portland com
pany of Colorado Springs, will bo thor
oughly examined by an expert of the
Meyer syndicate, who will arrivo here
next week. Tho mine is one of the best
properties In tho county, showing six or
more verticals of ore that go through an
upper and lower strata of quartzltc. It
Is believed that these verticals pcnctrnlo
Into tho slates. Tho property will go for
$100,000, Including all of the Improve
ments. Three carloads of ore wero i-hlpped from
the mine by the proont owners foon
after work wns commenced anil the re
turns on the ore ran about $75 por ton
gold. The property Joins tho Cleopstrn

about fifty tons of ore per day, being
treated by tho cyanide process very suc
cessfully. Tho Meyer syndicate will have
