CRIMINAL APPEALS.
COST OF A NEW YORK CASE.
By Telegraph—Press Association.— London, December 21. Patrick, the New York lawyer who was sentenced to death in 1901 for chloroforming Mr. Rice, a millionaire client, in order to obtain his fortune, has exerted every trick the United States law allows to secure an alteration of the death sentence passed on him. He has now obtained a commutation of the sentence to imprisonment for life. His appeals have cost the State of New York £100,000.
