Jones says he looked Into the old gen-tle-'itan's
rooms and saw Patrick stoop
ing over Rice and holding a towel
acrws h'.s face.
"These witnesses will prove a com

not only prove that he was not in

but they will shirw exactly where they
saw him at the time Indicated by
Jones."
Mr. Harby said he had as yet received
