PAGE EIGHT THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 19x2. IS Postoffico Error Kept Pat rick Waiting Hours. 1EARI-UILY SPEAKS OF WIFE. Ruined to Home In Auto For happy Family Gathering Pressed For a Statement, Patrick Says He'll Make Extended One Later. Now York. Nnv. 2'J. Albert T. Tat rirk stepped through (lie stone nrctied doorway of King Sing prison nt 4:23 o'clock yesterday afternoon a free 111:111 For tin" lirst time Iti the twelvo I'M'iitJ'ul years he was the shuttlecock nf Mic law. a nioineiit before, he hnil kIhiwii that he was eapahle of hiimnn emotions, ami that was when he had said that he was going llrst of all to the wife who was III and falling. Then Ins ordinarily emotionless voice had broken and his eyes had been suffused with tears, lie was going to her. and the sreat plans for the vindication of his name would have to wait until aft er he had greeted tier, comforted her as one who had returned from the grave, lie was with his wife just one hour und eighteen minutes after he stepped through the prison door. An automobile which pressed the s.peed limit very close brought him to ISO Clermont avenue without a stop, and the elevator of the apartment house was waiting to take him to the floor where the woman who never lost hope was waiting. A daughter, a child when Patrick came into the hands of the law twelve years ago but now a woman grown, was also waiting, but to her it was like meeting a new relative; to the other woman it was like the answer to a prayer. Pardon Went Astny. Fate decreed that the last day of Patrick lu prison should be as eventful as the other great days of his life. As if determined that the man should never gain his freedom, it contrived that the olllcial pardon granted by Gov ernor Dix at 0 o'clock the night before should go astray In the mail. The re sult of that was that instead of going free at 7 o'clock in the morning he re mained a prisoner until after 4, and then the fact that he got his freedom in time to eat his Thanksgiving turkey with his family was due to the good heart of Postmaster John McNuily of Ossining, who not only searched tho mail during the day. in spite of it being n holiday, but located the mlssent doc ument at PeekskiU in time to bare it reach Its destination before the prison closed for the day. That meant long hours of waiting and watching for many outside the prison gate, and it also meant long hours of nerve racking delay for Pat rick, chief orderly iu the hospital, clad in the gray of a "lifer," knowing that the flat which gave him liberty might arrive at any moment But It may bo said that during all this time, while publicly the prison ofllclals were con gratulating him and privately, by grapevine, the thousand men in the prison were sending to hlin their con gratulations, the man never showed thnt it was anything more to him than u day's experience. Except for the brief moment lie gave way at the men tion of his Invalid wife, it was the same old Patrick who had not hesitat ed to tell Judges and governors that it was not mercy but Justice lie was de manding; that he was either innocent and therefore entitled to liberty or a murderer who should be executed. Hasn't Decided on Plans. As to plans, he could only say that after his twelve years in cells he did not feel himself competent to make an extended statement One would como in time, which would tell his plans to vludicate himself, but not at present At the same time he was most happy, most healthy and most grateful. The story of the release of Patrick would not be complete without the mention of Thomas Mulier and the nar rative of what lie has done. Mulier. a member of a very good family at Peeks kill, was convicted of forgery about six years ago and was sentenced to ten years' iiuprlsonmeut at Sing Sing. His sentence was commuted and he was re leased Just one year ago yesterday for sen-ices he performed in aiding the state to uncover mismanagement In the prison. Three of the five years ho served were spent as a cellmate of Patrick, and iu that time he learned the life history of the mau who had been nearly five years iu the death house ami bad before lilm a sentence of life imprisonment. When Mulier was released ho devoted his time to obtaining what he declared was Justice for Patrick. He got into communication with John T. Milllken of St. Louis, the wealthy banker broth-er-in-luw of Patrick's, und Mr. Milllken retained the ex-convict to work for the man in prison. Mulier was outside the door of tho prison ut 4 o'clock yester day morning with his brother-in-law, James Darker, u wealthy merchant of Peksklll. lie waited there all tho day, and clad in Mr. Marker's fur overcoat Patrick took his first rido as a freo man In Mr. Barker's uutomobllo to tho city. Told of Pardon Wedneeday. Patrick know on Wednesday after noon that Governor Dix was to pardon him. His wife called at the prison in the regulur monthly schedule for visit ors, and she knew. How she know tbey did not talk about yesterduy. Of couree tho governor never said a word PARDON DELAYED WW ALBERT T. PATRICK. From Snapshot Taken at He Was Loaving Sing Sing. 1912. by American Press Association. nor any of his olllcial household, but somehow It leaked out, and the wo man's one message was that her tight for years had been rewarded. Patrick was then simply convict No. 53,448, n lifer with an A-l record, nnd ho received thl word from his wife with the calmness that characterized him In hearing three times the sen tence of death imposed upon lilm. He was then an orderly in the hospital, an assistant to Dr. Fnrr, the physician of the prison, and caretaker of surgical instruments. He said good by to bis wife after telling her not to greet him at the prison gates iu the morning and returned to his work. The first mall from Albany to Ossining was 7 o'clock, but it did not contain the pardon. John McNally. the postmaster of Os sining, had read about the case, and after the 7 o'clock mall had failed to bring the pardon he told the reporters that he didn't know a better way of spending a day like that than going through the malls as they came in and nctlng as postman in delivering the message. When the 1:23 arrived and there was no sign of the pardon Mc Nally got busy on the phone, and final ly it was found that the pardon had by an error of a mail clerk been dropped off at PeekskiU. It was rushed to Os sining on the next train, where Mc Nally got it and toot it to the prison. The word went "inside" to Patrick, and thereafter It took nbout an hour for the formalities to be gone through with. In tho meantime Patrick had been receiving the congratulations of the prison officials Still Looks Well. Time has dealt very mercifully with Albert T. Patrick despite the nerve racking ordeals ho has undergone. "1 can't say anything now," ho said. "I'm not competent to say anything except that I'm glad very glad. You know I've been twelve years In Jail eighteen months in the Tombs in New York city and more than ten years here and I've lost my perspective. I won't bo able to get it back until I've been out some time, nnd then I will be willing to talk to you all. "I am not venomous against anybody. My philosophy teaches me different from that It has all been a horrible experience, nnd now that part of it is over." STATE CHAIRMAN KILLS MAN.

RENEW PEACE TALK Bulgarians andTurks Confer Outside ichatalja Lines.

The Bulgarian nnd Turkish plenipotentiaries reassembled ut the village of Baglitche. outside tile l' h.italja lines, to discuss further the terms of the proposed armistice. A letter received from the front de nies that there has not yet been nny real assault by the Bulgarian besiegers ui l he fortress of Adrianople. The forts, it says, have been shelled and - e of them captured by the allied Servians and Bulgarians, who suffered lie-ivy loss On one occasion Turkish fort was apt tired, but shortly afterward the al lies were compelled to evacuate It ow ing to the heavy fire concentrated on It by the Turkish guns.

The Servian war otllce Is continuing its military prepa rations on the Austrian frontier in readiness for possible eventualities. The government has received a denial of the report that the Servian troops had occupied the port of Durazzo, on the Adriatic sea, according to the news papers here. Premier Pachltch has decided leave for Uskup, Macedonia. to Allies Make Concessions. Constantinople. Nov. 20. A persist ent report is current here that the Bul garians have abandoned their claim to the Turkish fortress of Adrianople. Should this prove true it is thought that the prospects of an understanding being readied by the Turkish nnd Bul garian plenipotentiaries during their conferences at Baghtche will be great ly improved and that an agreemeut Is virtually nssured. The foreign consuls at Adrianople re port that lu spite of the bombardment of the town by the Bulgarians no cas ualties have occurred thus far omong tlie foreign residents. The dispatch came by wireless telegraphy, and it is thought o have been sent at the re quest of tho local authorities. The foreign naval contingent recent ly landed for the protection of foreign residents nnd embassies in the Pera district of Constantinople are being gradually re-embarked on the war ships. The commanders of the foreign war vessels are of the opinion that the danger to their nationals is diminish ing. RITCHIE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION Wolgast Loses Title When He Fouls In Sixteenth Round. San Frnnelseo, Nov. 20. Through a dense cloud of fog at Daly City wildly excited throngs of fight fans carried from the roped arena their first pugil istic lightweight champion. Willie Itltchio wns hoisted on the shoulders of his supporters, and his victory wns so unexpected thnt 7,000 spectators made the hills echo with their exulting shouts. With the sixteenth round having only two seconds to go Chnmpion Wolgast fouled Ititchle, nnd tho referee was quick to raise the local lad's glove in token of victory. The disqualification came after Ititchle had floored Wol gast twice. Whether the foul was In tentional or npt was the themo of dis cussion among thousands as they left the areua. 'there was no question, however, nbout tho foul. The fact Is Wolgast delivered two low left band punches to Ritchie's groin, nnd tho ac tion of tho referee wus the only course to pursue. Tom Jones, Wolgnst's man ager, was angered nt tho decision and declared It wus the rankest robbery. Ititchle came up strong In tho fif teenth and astonished the crowd by outboxlng the champion. Ho lauded some punishing stomach punches. Iu the sixteenth Ititchle rushed Wolgast und lauded n fierce right cross to the Jaw, which sent Wolgast to tho ropes. Again ititchle whipped his right across, and Wolgnst went to the floor. Ho got up groggy, and after another right to the Jaw he delivered tbo two fouls that cost him the light.
