Millionaire Rice Murder Trial Reveals Admission by Patrick
In New York on January 28 the Patrick trial heard Dr. Hamilton Williams describe death as possibly caused by a gaseous irritant though kidney disease could hasten it. Capt. James Baker testified his firm handled Rice affairs four years and Patrick sought settlement sums from 250000 to 500000, suggesting 50000 to stop litigation. Patrick claimed he would settle and Rice would not receive him, sending a card to reach Rice via advertisement.
