Trial of Patrick Blinn Testimony and Forgeries
New York Jan 31 Recorder Goff ended court’s day in Albert T. Patrick’s murder trial by ruling out the Rice will of 1896. Nephhew Joseph L Blinn testified he was summoned to New York and told he would get 30000 of the estate under the 1900 or Patrick will, with a 5000 share under the 1896 will. Texans Emanuel Raphael and Arthur B Cohn testified signatures on checks and the Rice estate assignment were forgeries, and Raphael spoke of Rice Institute plans. Newsmen who took Patrick’s statement also testified as to safes and contents.
