face of his benefactor as he slept a
folded napkin, saturated with chloro-
form, thereby causing the death of the
millionaire. Wednesday they beard the
same story repeated under a different
condition, but with even more dra-
matic surroundings.
The story of the murder and con-
spiracy which Jones outlined on Tues-
day he Wednesday filled in with a
wealth of detail with wonderful cool-
ness and nerve.
According to the story of the valet,
he and Patrick had drawn up the
bogus will and were waiting with
what patience they could for old man
Rice to die, when a mill burned down
in Texas. Rice’s connections there de-
sired to rebuild it and he spoke of
advancing $100,000 or $125,000 re-
quired to replace the burned property.

But Rice insisted on advancing the
money, and presently authorized a
draft for $25,000 from one of his cor-
respondents in Texas. Word of the
draft arrived in New York on Satur-
day and Jones, in accordance with his
compact, told Patrick about it. It
was only $25,000, but according to the
valet, Patrick felt that he could not
spare even this much out of the mil-
lions that he was already counting as
his own.
“He then said,” testified Jones, “that
he would have to do something to get
