NEW YORK. March 24— Robert M.
Moore began today the summing up of
the case tor the defense in the trial of
Albert T. Patrick, accused of the mur-
der of William M. Rice.
In opening, he said the prosecution
had snown no motive for the killing
of Rice by Patrick, because Patrick,
under the 1900 will, was not to inherit
Rice’s millions for himself, but for the
carrying out of a trust. Jones’ state-
ment that Rice was killed, at the direc-
tion of Patrick, the lawyer contended,
was unworthy of belief, because Jones

he said:

by the autopsy to chloroform poison-

the prosecution will get from eight
different causes of death. The de-
fense insists that without any. other
evidence the opinions of the doctors
entitle this defendant to acquittal. He
is entitled to the benefit of any rea-
sonable doubt. Will you say that you
believe Jones, that you disbelieve
these eminent medical men, and that
you have no doubt as to what caused
the death of Mr. Rice?
"We do not ask you if you have not
a reasonable doubt of the guilt of this
man, but have you a doubt as to his
innocence? Have you a doubt that
Jones is a liar or that old man Rice
died a natural death? We have pre-
sented you our case. We know it is a
strong case, and It was with that
knowledge that in opening I told you
we wanted no favor and no sympathy

dence in your decision that we leave

said, was that of an honorable and
innocent man.
Mr. Moore called the judge’s atten-

a man who had practiced medicine in
New York City for forty years. Re-

is always attended by a complaint
from those interested, but it is not In-
frequently the case that the increase
is in the interest of the future welfsre
of a community or a business. Such
is the condition confronting Austin
and her people at the present time.
When the tax waa first levied the
valuations of Austin were upwards of
812,000,000, while now they are about
88.000.000. the reduction having been
attendant upon a lowering of valua-
tions after the dam broke. This is one
reason given why the taxes sre being
forced to a higher notch, when in re-
ality the sum total of taxes, as com-
pared to the respective valuations, is
only a slight increase. The city
schools are constantly on the increase,
and necessarily the expenses Increase

school tax is ever a matter for the fu-
ture to present We can not expect
to run the schools today on what they
were run on ten years ago, for the
reason that the population has In-
creased in proportion, hence the ad-
vance in expenses. While this is true
ss to the scholarship. It may not
necessarily apply as to the property
holders, on account of the large num-
ber at renters and the like, but the
taxes will fsll with equal force on sll
snd the increase will be so slight as
to hardly be noticeable. If we are to
have our schools conducted along
beneficial lines there must be money
forthcoming for the purpose, snd
hence the present reqnest. It is to be
hoped thst our citizens will not so

the great crowd—already parttally af-
feeted with the disease-from kissing
a stone held holy by the Mohammedan
church. The consequent infection
among the filthy pilgrims, already
somewhat debilitated by their priva-
tions. was tearful, more than one-third
of the total number succumbing to
the scourge. Many of these had start:
ed for and some had even reached
home before the disease brought them
down. As a natural result the germs
were scattered over the entire East
and cholera became epidemic through-
out practically all of the Mohammedan
world.
It is generally conceded that Mecca
is one of the greatest hotbeds of dis-
ease on earth, but so long aa it con-

over hundreds of thousands of people
who believe in the Mohammedan re-
