Albert T. Patrick (February 26, 1866 – February 11, 1940) was an American lawyer who was convicted and sentenced to death at Sing Sing for the murder of his client William Marsh Rice.[1]
William Marsh Rice, an old Southern gentleman, died in a New York apartment on Sept. 23, 1900, several extraordinary consequences followed. The most spectacular and sensational was the arrest of his former attorney on a murder charge, and the extensive court proceedings that issued out of this are recorded in eight large volumes of New York court reports: People vs. Albert T. Patrick.
