Mr Osborne said word had been sent at the same time to Patrick telling him the District Attorney would be glad to hear from him if he cand to make a statement. Mr. Patrick replied that ho did not care to say anj thing about any crime, hut would like to see Captain Raker about the estate Tho District Attorney said the State did not care to discuss the estate, but rather Rice's death Aked If ho thought Mr. Rice had been chloroformed, Mr. Osborne said Jones had spoken of hearing the old man laugh, and ho said it was well known that a certain anaesthetic produces laughter. Mr. Osborne was also anke-d that. If In the. event ot Jones's death, his confcs?ion could be used against Patrick? "Of couise not," he replied. Some ono suggested that Jones's antemor tcm statement could be secured and used. "An antcmortem .statement," said Mr. Os borne, "m ide bj a third partj Is no use. It must be made by a party about to die. No person knows better than Patrick that In tho event of Jones's dcatu the confession could not be used Ho Is a lawjer. He knows that dead men tell no talcs."

When Jones was car ried out of the Tombs to-day unconscious from loi of blood, all of the prisoners wero awake. The word was passed around that the joiing man had attempted to kill himself. All was excitement immediately and a Kreat din arose In the prison. Patrick was one of the first to receive word of what had happened. He did not for a moment Io--o his sc-lf-poss,essloii. To ono of his keepers Patrick addressed an Inquiry conccrnlns Jones's condition. He was told that his co-defendant was still alive, but could hirdly recover. "That is too bad." said Patrick.

Nothing Tastes Good And eating is simply perfunctory done because it must be. This is the common complaint of the dyspeptic. If eating sparingly would cure dys pepsia, few would suffer from it long. The only way to cure dyspepsia, -which is difficult digestion, is to give vigor and tone to the stomach and the whole digestive system. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured the niece of . Frank Fay, 106 N. St,, South Boston, . Mass., who -writes that she had been a great sufferer from dyspepsia for six years, had been without appetite and had been troubled with sour stomach and head ache. She had tried toanv other mrf- cinet in vain. Two bottles of Hood' Sarsaparilla made her well. Hood's Sarsaparilla Promises to cure and keeps tfii- promise.
