Scarcely does one |*as# from the public

that which has gone before. It wa* found

on the scene a pew .itwl Intricate rasa in
which thr knowledge of numerous experts
will be called Into requisition. In the
Molt news case there w*-re chemical ex
pert#, medl al experts and experts In
handwriting, and their bills amounting to
thousands of dollars had to he jwid by
the peop e of N* w York.
*The latest • asc to demand the attention
of the experts is that of Milllon.iire Wil
liam Marsh Rice, an eccentric capitalist,
who died in New York city a /**w da> •
iiro under allege*! mysterious clrrum-
Siam es. The death of the millionaire was
follow* <1 by the arrest on the charge of
forgery <f Albert T Patrick, the dead
man's lawyer, and Charles F. Jones, his
valet. The decease*! had left a will giving
I'atrtck about nine-tenths of his estate
Patrick had also cashed Urge
checks a legui to have bee n signed by
lliiiv Jones’ offense lay In having tele
phoned Patrick tally with regard to Rice's
condition Now come the experts First
the handwriting experts have pronounced
the signatures of Mice upon the checks
for many thousands, forgeries This led
to the incarceration of Patri k and Jones
in the Tombs Next come# Prof. Witlhttll,
he of the hill for lIH.OOO in the Molinetix
case which w.ts question* and by the au
thorities. Prof Witthaus is examining tha
remains of the dead man for traces of
imison which might have been the cause
of Ids death. The physician who attended
Rice prescribed nux vomica, and Prof.
Wltthan-. R is stated. Is looking for
strychnine. The result will be, In any
event, another lig hill. The work of the
exp* rts will not end here The case is
more than likely to go Into court, at least
with charges of forgery, if not of murder,
ngainst the Imprisoned men. 80 far a#
the Investigation has progressed there is
no evidence of guilt other than that of the
exprrtjt. excepting the suspicion naturally
aroused h\ th* fact that Patrtck Is a
large beneficiary
Huch cas*s as these lolng up vividly the
old question as to the value of expert
testimony. That it Is valuable as corrobor
ative evidence, re. ms to Ih generally ac
cepted in courts of law. but the growing
inclination to make use of it will sooner
or later threaten the rights of a defend
ant. In m>stcrlous cases the volume of
expert testimony Is growing larger and
larger, while direct evidence hearing on
the crime Itself, is correionJmgl> les
sened The tendency In this direction may
will lead to the conclusion that the mod
ern sleuth Is nu more shrewd. If eaually

summarises the position of Mr Wayne
MacYeagh: "Our friend, Wayne Mae-

It Is unnecessary to say that bis reasons
are entirely his own. Mac Veagh Is al*
ways original. He is oiq#>#ed fo nearly
everything ttt McKinley l>een Io-
Ing. and to the whole proceeding# in th#
Philippines, especially; but he think# that
if a sufficient number of antl-imperlallsts
stand by McKinley now it will cause him
to change his course and erase to be on
imperialist. Mr Ma Veagh jugs it in
smoother diction, but this l- as we under
stand him The more antl-Imperlalists

"the futility of regarding his election .*

of his supporters are irreconcilably op

(Dtm i says. "It look* as If the Repub

would or nr*, that imperialism and mili
