based on any mere question ot rove

TRIAL OF PATRICK PROCEEDS
A Physician Who Refused to Use Anything but Medical Terms on the StandAn
Affecting Interview Between the Defendant and His Little Daughter
Special to The Post
New York January 27 The closing
bonrs of this afternoons sn lon of the
Patrick murder trial were ended hy a clash
between Patricks counsel and Dr Hamil-
ton William a modioli expert for the
people
Dr Williams testimony was startling In
Its nature but In the manner of hid Riv-
ing it he tried tlio patience of the court
The witness refuted to nn < iwor questions
save In medical terms each accompanied
hy a verbose explanation until the Jury
was worn out Mr Moore was desperate
and the medical man was hot This
linens was still on the stand when ad-
journment was taken
The gist of his cvldenco was that the
limes were congested and that this was
due o the Inhalation of some caseous Ir-
ritant ajUd that chloroform would have
produced such a condition of Hip luiuis
He later said pneumonia could produco
tl same condition
Patricks defense was revealed Joday He
will claim flriit that Mr Wees doith was
caused hy bananas he liming eaten nine
Just prior to the lluul collapse Second

Patrick mid ltli o ns to the disposition of

James W Glrard was recalled and his
cross examination continued He said he
was one of the counsel retained lo suport
the ISOfl or Baker will before the stirro
Kate If the 1000 or Patrick will were to
bo fcustalned he said his clients the Wil-
liam M nice Institute of Houston 5 vulrt
receive several million dollars less than
It would under the 1S00 will
It was after the witness and Captain
linker had had n conference with Patrick
that the witness told Assistant District At-
torney Osborne that Patrick had said
Why cant you get together and settle
this matter up It was also decided at
this conference that Mices papers should
he placed In neutral custody pending de-
cision as to who should be In rightful
custody
Charles Plow light the undertaker who
was called In by Patrick to prepare the
body of Mr Wco for ciomatlon testlflcd
that he had said to FitrlcJ that It would
require twentyfour hours lo prcparo It
for cidotation and suggested cmblamtug to
which Patrick consented
John S Potter Plowrlgbts assistant
testified that PatrlrU had shown him a
letter signed by nice expressing ho wish
that after death his body should be cre-
mated
The morning of the day set for the cre-
mation he had been called on the tele-
phone by Patrick and told that the crema-
tion must bo put off In consequence of a
telegram ho Patrick had Just received
from Texas but that It would probably be-
held two days later The letter to which
the witness alluded was dated August 13
1P0O It was ndmlttcd as evidence
Dr Hamilton Williams a coroners physi-
cian testified that the autopsy on ItlcoH
body showed the brain heart and kidneys
normal but nu Intense congestion of tho
lungs The condition of the lungs the wit-
ness said was Induced by the Inhalation of
Homo gaseous Inltnnt Chloroform he
ssld would have produced the eongcstloii
I believe Dr Williams Raid In to
plying to n question that nothing elso
than a gaseous Irritant could have produced
the condition of the lungs I may say
instead of believing that I know fiom ex-
perience this to be tho fact
The witness explained In great detail the
action of chloroform on the bronchial tuhea
Pneumenla he said could produce the con before he could speak The meeting had
gestlon ho found In Mr nices lungs Ho lieen arranged to take placo In the wardens
found all of Ulcos organs normal except room In order that no memory of prison
for the lung congestion fhe outer and bars could bs stamped on tho childs mom
lnncr xessels of the brain cavity were nor cry >
tnal The membranes of tho throat were I Miss Hmma Patrick who accompaniedlit
likely to blister when chloroform was ad tic Illllan so spread her skirts tbafe tpn
ministered The only admission the de only prison gale in sight was not sccu by
fense secured from tho witness was that
many of the ordinary Indications of death
fiom chloroform were absent In the caso
of Mr Itlce Mr Williams was on the
stand when court adjourned Mr tho day
Tho second nice will Is the most aston-
ishing document I ever miw said Assist-
ant District Atlumey Osborne today By
It Patrick Is made many limes a mllllou
nlre We will prove thnt Patrick never
even met WHIIhiii Marsh Itlee
After a week of tliclcss Inquiries and
refusals to see tier father little Illllan
Patrick whs taken down to the Tombs
pitson before the convening of the court
today and she met for tho tlrst lime In

ful meeting for the child but a bad one
