Governor Higgins was so impressed with the prisoner's plea that he granted him three respites. and eventually commuted his sentence from death to life imprisonment. Patrick was charged with having brought about the death of Mr. Rice, not by his own hand, but through th-. agency af Charles F. Jones, a valet employed by Rice It was principally upon the testimony i f Jones, who con- . fessed having administered chloroform to Rice, at the behest of Patrick, while , he was asleep, that Patrick was con victed. Jones escaped punishment, and . has long been able to hide his iden-1 tity from the public. At last reports he was said to be in Texas. BmSBBBt Hlxglas Acted. In savins Patrick from the death chair Governor Higgins gave these reasons: "It Is not claimed that Patrick committed the murder In person, but i that he procured the act to be done. ' He has been convicted principally upon the testimony of Charles F. Jones, who confessed that he murdered his mas? ter while he lay as>ep. instigated by Patrick, and Jones, by this testimony, has purchased his own Immunity from trial or punishment. Neither this fact alone nor the review of any ques? tion of fact already passed upon by ? the courts at some stage of these pro- j ceedlngs would seem to me to warrant ' interfering with the Judgment of death pronounced against the defendant, but ! three of the judges of the Court of 1 Appeals were so strongly of the . pinion 1 that errors were committed at the trial which w< re substantia !y prejudicial to the rights of I'atrick that I feel that the death penalty ought not under ' these circumstances to be Inflicted."

DANGER POINT NOT YET PASSED England and Germany Working Together to Prevent Clash.. While Word Comes That Russia and Austria Do Not Want War?Peace Pap ley Continues. London, November 27.?The tension In the Balkan crisis is relieved by tha news that the puaco plenipotentiaries ?re continuing tholr negutlat on*. onS that Great Urltaln and Germany are working actively to guln a peaceful settlement between Austria and Hervla. According to one Constantinople re? port, the dl?cutties of arranging a formal armistice are so great that the negotiations are taking the form of seeking a basis for peace. The danger of the reopening of hos? tilities, however, is still serious. Ap? parently only mi informal armistice of forty-eight hours has been agreed upon, and It is reported that Bulgarian forces ;ir?. already moving cioser to the Tchatalja lines and entrenching; themselves in readiness to renew the attack. The Turks have an army of over 1 "O.OOo. and soon will have 130.000, for the most part fresh, picked troops, behind the lines, and. according to all the reports, they will give a good ac? count of themselves if fighting is re* sumed. Under these circumstance, with Adrianople and Scutari still holding o-t. Turkey is little likely to ?.?W a very yielding attitude in the negotiations. The report that the Servians hat reached Ouraaso appears to he mature. A wireless d'spatch of to-day's brings the interesting news that Al? banian independence has been pro? claimed there; that the Turkish gov ! ernor is prepsring to depart, and that the town is accepting without opposi? tion the new regime. What attitude the Servian army and government will assume toward thla development should afford some Idea, as to whether, as reported. Servia ig I willing to accept the suggestion of an. I autonomoua Albania. The greatest weight Is attached la . the diplomatic world to the seemingly well-authenticated report that Great Britain and Germany are now acting in cordial co-operation on the basis of postponing all side issues unUl tfl&r the Turkish-Balkan war settlement. A j rcassuiWi^ statement also? comes front Petersburg that Russia and Aus? tria do not desire to tight over a port in the Adriatic. Thus, what appeared to be an im? minent danger of Europe being divided I into two hostile camps comes to be dis [sipated for the time being at least. Genaaar Pievtdts far War. Berlin.
