New York City (Special).?All the
Henients which would enter into a
hold and gigantic plot to obtain fraud tdently
an estate worth several millions
of dollars were present in the
accusations which were Friday made
against Albert T. Fat rick and Charles
F. .lopes, the attorney and valet respectively
of William M. ltice. tlio
Texas millionaire, who died suddenly
nearly two weeks ago. under clrcuuistances
that induced tin* Coroner's office
to institute an investigation.
A. T. Fat rick was arrested upon a
charge of forging Mr. Hire's name to
I wo elieeks l or JSoit.OOO and JfGo.bOO
respectively. Charles F. .tones was
arrested as Fatrick's neeotnplice. In
addition to the two eheeks on which
the arrest was made, the police an
murines ih'iu'vi1 null two ol 111*1" cuccks,
one tor J? 1 fio.t<<>o. tin- oilut for ?- "?.otto,
both of which wore presented for j?:?yitient
or certification after Mr. Rice's
ilontIt. nro also forgeries. 'l'hey also
believe that the last will of Mr. Kiee
is a lottery. This will would turn
over to 1'atrick the entire Kiee for- I
tune of something like .Slo.tHiO.titHt. ,
Roth Patrick and .loties were held in
bail of Sld.odit eneli when they were
arraigned in t'ourt charged with forg- 1
cry.
Five handwritins experts unhesitatingly
declare that the signatures to
the cheeks for and !?.*ir>,000 are
clumsy forgeries, traced with a dry
pen and tiien tilled in with ink.
While no more serious crime than i
forgery lias been charged against
cither of the two men now under arrest,
the police are convinced that j
Mr. Kiee died the victim of an assas- j
sill. They point to the vast fortune j
as a motive for the deed, and then |
turn to the forged documents to fur- j
nlsli corroborative evidence.
l>r. Walter Curry, who attended old
Mr. Kiee during the last live months !
of Ids life, it lias been learned, was
introduced by Patrick. Nux vomica, j
according to i>r. Curry, was prescribed 1
l>y him as a tonic for the ?1<1 man ami
administered daily by Jones. It is a j
deadly poison in large doses.
Mr. ltioe died suddenly. No pliysi- |
eiati was in attendance, lie was alone !
In ins apartments with his valet.Jones
when the end canto and hail seen no i
one else for hours.
Lawyer Patrick was the first man j
summoned after death. lie gave di i
veetions to have the body embalmed |
when lie knew that the deceased had !
especially and emphatically declared
against it. The embalming was to be
followed promptly by cremation.
In the District Attorney's otlice tin
opinion prevails that a conspiracy ot
great proportions will ho niienioc.xi
when the caw comes to trial and that
it will he demonstrated that forgery
it ml nitmler have been closely allied
in an attempt to obtain possession of
the millions that were owned by Willlam

coal operators of the Wyoming. I.acktiwanna,
and I.ehigh Valley regions
held a meeting in this ehy and thoroughly
discussed the wliele situation,
nearly all those present taking part
in the discussion. The powder qiK-stlon
was the chief subject of debate,
and next came the recognition of the
union. So far as can be learned, none
of the operators were in favor of
recognizing the union in any way.
Tweutv-two companies were represented
in the meeting, but no agreement
was reached. The l.chigh Valley
Company decided to post notices
agreeing to increase wages ten per
cent and to "take up" other grievances.
Tito notice added that powder

(In* labor lenders said positively that
they ilitl not fear a break in the ranks
of the anthraeite coal strikers, they
tvere nevertheless pleased to learn that
the ten per cent, advance granted bv
the Philadelphia and 1(< adinir Coal
and Iron Company was totally iirnored
by the striking mine workers. I
It was predicted by the operators that
many of the strikers would return to
work under the belief that the ten i
per cent, would be the limit of the '
concession, and the unanimity of the
men in deciding to stand out for a fur- '
tlier advance caused considerable surprise.
The strike situation of the T.eiugh
Valley showed a change in favor of
the men. Several hundred men quit
work at the Calvin l'ardee mines at
I.attimer, as the result of persuasion
on the part of ?m> marching strikers,
and at Oneida and Cranberry the j
coal companies lost additional men.
