PATRICK ASKS TBST BE MADE AT THE MORGUE Appeals to Gov. Higgins L for a Weird Demon- stration There. A SCIENTIFIC GAMBLE. 4 Wants Accurate Analysis of Effects of Embalming Fluid on Lungs. EXPERTS TO MAKE IT. ~ Extraordinary Request in Keeping with Condemned Lawyer's (ate. Long Defense. ‘ bert T. Patrick's Iifs may depend "pon a acientific gamble that he hus put up to Gov. Higgins. Invested on every other side by barriers of judx- ments and decision, the condemned law- yer makes this last appeal to the State Executive: He offers to stake his lite en the result of an experiment to be @onducted in the Morgue of this city, all of the medical and other experts who attended his trial to be present. By this experiment Patrick {s con- ‘Wanoed that he can prove that the con- (peetion of the lungs showns In che au- topsy upon the boty of Millionaire Rice waa caused not by chloroform, but by Be embalming fluid that was Injected (nto the body. The condemned lawyer enly asks that Gov. Higgins and the bocal authorities allow his counsel and ‘medical experts to experiment upon the pe of two poupers, injeoting em- Ing fluid into them under the same ®onditions that prevatied in the case of the aged Mr. Rice. ‘Then, if the embalming fluld does not reach and cause a congestion of the Jungs, the condemned man will give up his battle for life and freedom. He will + make no further appea! for reprieve or @elay of. execution he promises, but ‘walk stolidly on the day set to the lit- tle room beyond the fron door. Opens a Wide Field. Never in tne history of medical juris- prudence has such an experiment as is now proposed to Gov. Higgins even been suggested, and as a result of this experiment, if it 1s carried oui, the scientific world may be compelied to conduct their autopsies and consequent deductions along entirely new linus. Charles F. Jones, who was valet for onalre Patrick was cons ing, made three separate statements concerning thé death of his employer. He first declared that Mr. Rice had died from naural causes; suggested that death was due jal poisoning. and. finall : trial he testified to having chloro: ] formed the old man at the direction of the attorney. ‘he _uncorroborated Jones furnished the j its theory of murde: assistod testimony of ‘osecution with he med'cal tes olving and pre- senting to the jury his theory. De Donlin. Coroner's physician w formed the autopsy on the body of Mr, Rice, testified that the lungs were con- | gested and co-extensive. He sald that this condition could re- sult from a number o! dicases, but fot in the case of the sezd millionaire, as there were no other symptoma of Giceave. ~ Dr. Donlin gave It as his opinion that the condition of the lungs showed the cause of death, and that the conges tlon had been orused by “some irritant inhalation of some irritant gas or vapor.”| Dr. Donliy was asked: “Would the embalming fuid. assum- ing {t was used after death, through the Artorigg, have any effect upon the Ruled Out by Recorder. ecorder Goff ruled this quest on the ground that {t opened an entire new field of speoulation that would dmx ow the trial to extraordinary. poneth Prot, Witthaus, the chemist, testified that there Was not enough Mercury ia the ead the deud milifonaire to “Dr, H Loomis, a cae Be tects Cantwell es eel for Patrick, managed to drag case the question of the em: fluld.
