Jones, the valet, had been relating the eircumstances leading up to the somewhat midden death of Rice in September. Then, plunging at once into details, he held the attentlon of his audience to the end of his recital, Freed of minor points, his story was: In August, Patrick grew impatient. Mr. Rice, though an invalld, was living too long to suit the Jawyer's purpose. Patrick sald he would come to the house and kill him himselt if necessary. He suggested chloro- form anq Jones sald he would get some. The idea of chloroform as a means was suggested by a magazine article. It was determined on after Jones talked with a physician, who said a person whose heart was affected, as was Mr. Rice's, could be most eastly killed with ft, and that little trace of the drug would be left. Jones Buys the Drug. Jones got a two-ounce vial of it by writ- ing to his brother in Texas. Jones then branched oft into the alleged plan to weaken the already sick old man. This was by giving him mercury atid iron pills. The pills brought on debilitating dlarrhoen. Then they unwittingly had & friend take Mr. Rice a present of bananas. Of these the old man ate nine. The fruit made him exceedingly 11l and yet the weakening doses of mercury were kept up. By Saturday, being about the eighth day. of the last 1ll- ness, Mr. Rice. became delirious.

Willlam Marsh Rice's quick death, de- clared the witness, was decided on at a conference between Patrick and Jones held Saturday. Jones had told the lawyer of the arival of a draft of $25,000. Patrick told him it was time to apply the chlorofofm now that the draft had come and Captain Baker was coming, or they.would lose all. Jones agreed. Jones here told his story of the actual killing. He made a cone of a towel in the small end of which was a chloroform- woaked sponge. Creeping into the room where Mr. Rice lay sleeping, he quickly covered the sleeper's face with the large Grapes cree This doesn’t sound much like medicine—s and yet Mull’s Grape Tonic Which is being served free at our stor: end of the cone. Jones rushed out of the room. In half an hour he came back. He removed the cone. Mr. Rice was dead. Jones swore he ‘telephoned to Patrick the words: “Mr. Rice is very ill,”" the agreed signal between the two of death. Jones' story of the end was concluded by the statement that Patrick came to the house and removed all of Mr. Rice's papers. Acquitted of Murder Charge.
