Prosperity, 8. C., Nov. 22.-There hits
bceu quite a sensation In the country
about 7 miles east of Prosperity. A girl
14 years old had l>een adopted by Joe
Miller and wife. They gave her all she
needed, but she was not permitted to fol
low her own will in the matter of visit-
log, and It Is charged she made an effort
to oven np matters by putting rough on
rnts in the coffee pot.
Iloth Miller, mid, his wife were made quite
sick, and to this fact-. In all probability,
they owe their lives. The physician, when
called, recognised the symptom* of' poison,
and upon Investigation found some of the
compound still In the coffee j»ot When
accosted and naked why she did It, the girl
said, it Is stated, “Because she wanted to
get rid of ’em.”
PA TRICK LOOKS TO HIGGINS
TO SA VE HIM FROM DEA TH;
New York, Nov.' 22.—Having been
five time# snatched from the electric
chair for the murder of William Marsh
Rice, Albert T. Patrick today looks to
Governor Higgins to save him ‘from
paying the death penalty.
It la’his last chance, as his lawyers
have abandoned their appeal to the
United’States supreme court to remove
the appeal from the courts of New
York. -Notice of the appeal was served
upon District Attorney' Jerome more
than six months’ ago which, without
other motions, operated as a stay of
execution of the death sentence.
.Sentence May: Be Commuted.
The ground for the appeal was that
Patrick had not had a fair and Impar
tial trial. _ . , . .
It now remains for Patrick to be
brought from Ring Ring and arraigned
before- Recorder Goff. The date for
Patrick’s appearance in court will be
fixed us soon as the formal notification
of the abandonment of the appeal In
the federal court has been received In
the district attorney’s office.
Higgins Idas Not Acted.
It was said tl\at Patrick had a good
chance of getting a commutation of
sentence frorti Governor ^Higgins. Only
recently a petition signed by 3,200 doc
tors was sent to Governor Higgins ask
ing him to appoint a committee to ex
amine whether chloroform has been
used to cause the death of Rice In the
manner described in the evidence at
Patrick’s trial.
So far Governor Higgins has taken
no action on the petition.
