New York, Sov. 27.—Lawyer Albert h, Patrick will refuse to receive the lift of his life from the hands of Gov nor Higgins. This was stated post Ively today by Clark Bell, the lawyer | who laid before the governor a* pett- tlgned by more than 2,090 physl- Iclans who asked that Patrick be saved from the electHc chair. A situation absolutely unique |criminal history la created by the litubborn stand taken by the alleged I ilayer of William M. Rice, the decrepit I Texas millionaire, whose valet, Jones, (■ays he killed by administering chloro. ■ form to him at Patrick's dictation. I Patrick will accept no commutation I ot sentence from the governor, even If lit be offered," said Mr. Bell, with' era- [pbnsls. today. “He demands a full vln- Idlearion or death. T{iis Is not an at- | iltuile of bravado on his part. He Is I Itnoeent and' he would rather be mar- I tyred thun live opt his life In a prison in expiation of a crime which he did Dot commit." Patrick has twice written to the gov- tmur, entreating him to disregard all | pleas for clemency, unless they came (ruin him personally. Lawyers expressed the opinion that I Patrick could In no manner refuse to I swept gubernatorial clemency. If no I death warrant was signed for his exe- [ ration, no one would carry out the I mandate of the court which convicted [ bint, and the Judgment of which, the I lawyer avers, he prefers above life Im- I prlaonmtnt. | HIGGINS HAS NOT ACTED IN THE CASE OF PATRICK.
