NEW YORK, NOV. 1.—Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Osborne this afternoon
gave out a more detailed statement of
what Jones said of the happenings subse-
quent to Rice's death, lie said quoting
from Jones statement:
"When 1 wakod up about 8 o'clock
the morning following Rice's death, hav-
ing been in the habit of carrying water
to him since his sickness. 1 asked him
then if he wanted water, and he did not
answer. I to.ik up his hand and it was
limp and lifeless. I at once .^aw that
he wan either feigning or dead. 1 first
looked aroung the house for Patrick and
sent for the doctor. 1 told Patrick thai.
Rice was either sick or dead. 1 asked
him: 'Where have you been and how did
yon get away?'
"He answered: 'I will go and get the '
doctor and come up.'
"The doctor and Patrick came togeth- |
er about S:3 or 9 o'clock. The doctor j
examined Rlee and said he wan dead.
"Patrick was then very nervous and j
excited and hj asked the doctor how
long he hud been dead. The doctor re-
plied: 'About twenty minutes.' After
the body had been laid out Patrick
ga'hered up all the letters. 1 was with
btme and had as much to with thit an
he. He gathered up two watches and
all the money that was In the trunk.
Patrick selected such as he wanted from
the papers. Hp told me he wanted all the
valuable papers. The next day he re
turned and had with him bank books
and check books. He had a number of
blank chechs. 'I have some checks I
want you to fill out* he said. 'One on
8. M. Swenson & 8ons; one for $25,00)
on the Fifth Avenu • Trust company, and
one for $135,000 on the same company."
He told me he had the proper right to
cash these cheeks before Rice's death
became known—his words were: 'Legal
right.' He left at 9 o'clock and said lie
would telephone me to dictate-messages
to be aent to the relatives and Baker,
and to tell the bank If called up that
the cheeks were all right.
"About 11 o'clock he called me up and
•aid: 'We've made a bust of it.' He
again told me that the checks were all
fteht '•1 iter Mr. Wal
Ince called up nnd asked ror Mr. Rice.
He asked me if the checks were in my
hand writing. 1 told him yes. if you
send it up I will correct it. Then he
told me to hove Mr. Rlee to cn>me to
the telphone. I said very well and rang
off. Then I called up Patrick and told
him. He told me to tell th« m If called
up again to tell them that Mr. Rice was
dead.
"Swenson enme to the telephone anl
asked about Rice. I told him that the
he was dead. Then he wanted to know
all about 1'. 1 told him he had died at
8 o'clock the night before. Patrick
then called m un ;'nl said: 'There people
have kicked out of the traces.'
"He then dictated to me the message
to be sent to the r< 1 iMves. one
to Captain itaker read: 'Mrt P.v- ,i ,i
last night at 8 o'clock. Docor's err ,.'i-
catp re.ds: weak heart, old age. ,dar«
rehoe. Funeral tomorrow 10 o'clock.'
Messages of similar character wo*e
sent to a number of others. I sent
word to Mrs. Van Alstyne at 21 Wth
avenue. I think t lies'- are all the mes-
sages I sent. Mr. Patrick ^mc to th*
bouse between 4 and 5 o'clock on Mon-
dny. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter and sun.
Robert were there. Mr. Patrick asked
them to attend the funeral the next day.
Hp went to dinner between 4 and 6 p. m.
and returned about 8 o'clock.
"The next day about 9 o'clock I not-
iced fou men haqglng aound the house
They enme to the house nnd said they
were Inwy^rs. T phonel Patrick about
these men ard he told me not to let
them In. One came In and said be was
from a law office nnd wanted to s««
me. He questioned me about Mr. Rice's
death and the checks. 1 don't remem-
ber exactly my answers, but whatever
they were they were not true. Mr.
Patrick telephoned after they leTt about
1 o'clock. Mrs Medun called and show-
ed me n telegrnm from Captain Baker
and asked If she could n«s'sf In any
way. The telegram said: 'Look out for
property and valuables ' Thnt was the
•ubstnnre of It. Mr. Patrick enlPd nt
« nr ! o'clock. When he called 1 told
him that Ihe four men had h.en th">re
*nd had been rt'i'Ptlonlng me abruit Mr.
Rice's affairs. He then went away nnd
ssld he would be back In an hours t!m .
lie telephoned later and a.ked me nh'ut
the telegram from Captain Baker and
also ubout the detectives.
"When he came buck he said not to
say anything, and 'I will post you. Now 1 ^
Jones, we are In for it. Look for the j (g
worst.' he said. 1 did not sleep much
or could not. I knew well that those
checks were not right. Patrick before
ho left, told me to say the checks In
question were to settle the Holt claim,
lie told me he was going to call off the
cremation.
"The detectives questioned and hung
around continually and Patrick said not
to mention anything about medic.ne<.
When the detectives returned I went to
breakfast with them. They told me I
was wanted at police headquarters and
that I would meet a representative of
the district attorney's office, and that
no disposition of the body would be m ide
until the coroner was notified. When 1
went to police headquarters I met Mr.
Osborne from the district attorney's
office. I then in n-1 that Captain Baker
■would be in the city and 1 was to tell
Captain Baker what I knew."
Mr. Osborne questioned Jones after he
had concluded the statement and asked
manv questions, all of which Jones an_
swercd. and declared that he answered
truthfully. .
Mr. Osborne was asked if he thought
thero would be any more arrests in
the case, and if any of the notaries
that had been interested in th<* case
would bo arrested, lie said he was
not prepared to answer that question
Mr Miller, of the firm of Hornblower
& Byrne, was at the prison ward in Bell-
vue hospital with Jones for an hour.
Jones, he said, was unnerved and brok-
en. He lay on his cot and sobbed nnd
cried like a child. Mr. Miller sal.l Jon"i
told him that Patrick told him to ki'l
himself as he had a better opportunity
to do so than he (Patrick) as there
was another man in the ceil with Pat
rick. Miller said that Jones further
quoted Patrick as saying:
"What can I do? I have two children,
nnd what will become of them if 'I am
tried and this is found out?"
Mr. Oaborne was asked what port of
the Rice estate Jones had expect>1 to
get. He sal.l Jones told him Pa'ilck
had assured him of being well cared for,
but had promised nothing more deflnlt ?.
The estate, Mr. Osborne said, is es.i-
Trnted nt from three to eight millions
The information that Jones desir?d lo
make a statement came to the *lHr!ct
attorney. Mr. Jones said, through a
friend of Jones, who was present at ti e
time the statement was made.. Mr. Os-
borne declined to give the friends nam1.
Mr. Ofborne said that word had been
sent at t.he same time to Patrick, tell-
ing him that the district atto n-v would
be glad 'to hear from him if he cared
to make a statement. Mr. Patrick replied
that he did net euro to say any'hliijj
about any crime, but would like to
ere Captain Baker about the estate. The
district attorney said the state did r.'>t
care to olscuss the estate, but rather
Rice's donth.
Asked If ho thought Mr. Rice hid te.-n
chloroformed, Mr. Osborne snld Jones
had spoken of hearing the old man
laugh, and he said it is well known 'hat
a certain anesthetic produces laughter
Mr. Osborne was also asked If in the
event of Jones' death his concession
could be used against Patrick.
"Of course not." he replied
Some one said that Jones' ante-mort'rn
statement could be secured and used.
"An ante-mortem statement," snld M-
made by n third party :s of
t must be made by a pnr*y
lie. No person knows better
than Patrick, that In the event of Jones'
death the confession could be used He
is a lawyer. He knows that dead men
tell no tales."
Before leaving his office. Mr. Opborne

NEW YORK. NOV. 1—Work on the
ruins of the Tarrant building and the
adjacent property was pushed tonight
to the full limit of the contractor's
power. The sh'ft of men which went
to work during the early part of the
evening numb, red 480. The.best efforts
of the force were exerted in Warren

clear by Saturday noon. The rearch
for the bodies is being pushed In the
northeast corner of the Tarrant build-
ing. where were the stairways down
which it is reported the girls employed
by the firm made a rush to escape,
just before the explosion took place.
■ No bodies were found at this f<pot
during the early part of the evening,
nor anything which would indicate the
near presence of bodies.
Testimony regarding th cause of the
Are and explosion tak- n today and yes-
terday wal laid before the district at-

Governor Roosevelt Nearing the
End of His Campaign
WILL CLOSE AT OSWEGO
for Their Utterances in Itegard to
Counting Vote* The Full Dinner
I'all Argument—Four Tiuies
us Full as Four
Years Ago.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y., NOV. 1.—Gover-
nor Roosevelt finished the next to tho
last day of his New York state tour In
this city, after having traveled through
five counties, making fifteen speeches
during the day.
The two stops were the most consid-
erable time was spent at Dunkirk and
Jamestown. His speeches during the
day and at both of these cities were
flavored with vigorous attacks on Rich-
ard Cnkir and Natl nal Ch^gjnao Jones
for their alleged attitude on the count-
ing of the ballots which Governor Roose-
velt diagnosed as an incitement to vio-
lence. At both Dunkirk and Jamestown,
and especially in the latter place tonight
there were Immense audlenccs.
At Dunkirk, where three meetings
were held, the governor in addressing
the first open air meeting In front of
the Brooks Locomotive Works, which
suspended work In order to give the
employes an opportunity to hear him,
replied to Mr. Bryan and said among
other things:
"I want to take up one or two state-
ments made last Saturday by Mr. Bryan
when he was here. In the first plac ,
I Bryan said that tho argument of the
j dinner pail was bad because it was not
full., Now I don't know exactly how
'• full It Is. but I do know that It is four
j times as full as It was four years ngo.
I Here are the figures of the present year
fur these works, as compared with isrtfl:
i The average monthly wages paid out
i ire a little over one hundred thousand
dollars as against twenty-eight thousand
e of 267 per
of engines
work is 2.1*0
said If we
One of the engines that you have here is
for exportation to go to Japan. If we
give up our effort to hold our-own in
the east, then say good bye to any
chance of extending our commerce and
obtaining a market in the Asaltlc hem-
isphere. In order to export our locomo-
tives or our goods we are taking up
our position In the fore front of the na-
tions of the world. Let me give you an
example: Eight years ago expansion
was not In our line, and the French took
tho island of Madagascar. You say that
was no concern of our. Well, it was,
for the first thing that happened was
that the market we had there for elev-
en million yards of American cloth was
closed Immediately. If Mr. Bryan has
his way and we r-tired from our posses-
sions in the Philippines, you would find
that the market for engines and every-
thing in Asia would be closed to us.
If you vote for Mr. Bryan's policy, v.
will have such conditions as w. had four
yiears ago. These works will feel them,
you will hurt every man who Is con-
cerned In any way as a proprietor of
these, works, you will gc' at them, but
will get at everybody else, too. The
whole truth Is that we, all of us. go
up or down together, y'herf hard time
comes they come .to each of us, and
when prosperity comes something of the
prosperity comes to each of* us.
"I agree with Mr. Bryan that here are
other things besides the full dinner pail
Involved. He is quite right and they
can be comprehended by the word ",
trlotlsm." the honor of the flag, the
honor of the nation.''
At the Jamestown meetings the gover-
nor confined himself principally to an-
swering Mr. Bryan's argument on Im-
perialism.
Governor Roosevelt, when he had fin-
ished his work this evening, was in the
best of condition. His voice is still
good, and temporary pains in his chest
have left him ami his physical condi
tlon is perfect. With the exception of i
speech at Oyster Bay on Monday night,
he will finish his speech mak ng tour at
Oswego tomorrow night.

I STEVENSON
PAWNEE, O. T. NOV. 1.-(Special.)-
Dennis Flynn the champion of free
homes and statehood, met with a con-
tinual ovation from the time the spec-
ial lain bearing him and his party ar-
riv.i Anna, the first stop of the day,
lint;, after tie- close ..f the meeting a/
this pia< • tonight. At every stop the
people Were clamoring for a sight of
the man whom they wanted to see and
when he appeared it was the sign for
long continuous applause. Never was
thcr<> a man who received more spon-
taneous- and genuine heartfelt greeting
than did Dennis Flynn at the various
places where he spoke today. It seemed
as though the people, irrespective of
party affiliations, vied with each other
in tii warm h of tie greeting extended,
and the most interesting and striking,
as well as phasing incident was the
large number of women. Mothers wives
and daughters, who war* in e*oh and ail
f any kind during the progress
of he day's pograin.
When Mr. Flynn began his speech fully
5,OUU people were in the uudlcnce and
they paid strict attention to all that
was «a.d. The many pointed remarks
of the speaker were greeted with most
enthusiastic applause- As in the other
meetings the ladles were very numerous
and were not behind the men folks In ap-
preciation of tho work done for them.
Glencoe, the next stop was reached .it
about 5 o'clock and here at least 2.000
men and women had gathered to pay
their respects to the free home passer.
Mr. Flynn spoke for thirty minutes < n
the issues of the territorial campaign
No such a gathering was ever before In
the city and every one seemed bent on
giving the speaker the 1 -t possible at-
tention. The crowd or at least the
greater part of it had all been the re-
cipients of the direct benefits of the
passage of tho free homes bill and men
of every shade of political opinion were
all trying to see who could bo tho most
enthusiastic in his support of the man
who had bee" instrumental In lifting the
mortgages rfom their homesteads.
When tho special pujled lu at this
place at 7 o'clock the town was one
vast sea of heads and It was with diffi-
culty that the party could mako their
way from the train to the hotel where
they were to rest for a few minutes
before beginning the more arduous dut-
ise of ho evening.
As the hour approached for the meet-
ing the crowd gathered in the opera
house which would not accommodate
one half of the people and an overflow
mooting was arranged for and addressed
by other members of the party. it was
a most enthusiastic gathering and t>ne
of the largest of the day.
Mr. Flynn's speech was well received
and many former democrats and popu-
lists pledged him their support at the
election next Tuesday.
The trip taken all In all was a most
enjoyable and profitable one and many
questions were asked and answered In
a manner that was refreshing and re-
sulted In an Increased vote, which will
be amply proven at the polls next Tues-
day. Mr. Flynn stood the day's trip
finely and tonight is more than plea ed
at the outlook for a most triumphant
victory.

General Casler Is an orator, the easy,
