Patterson.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK, June 11.-That "Cae-
sar" YOUNG. the bookmaker, who was
killed a week ago to-day in a cab as he
was riding with Nan" Patterson, shot
himself accidentally with revolver
which he was wrestling from Mrs. Pat
terson, who had threatened to commit
suicide, was the theory of his death
advanced to-day by the police. This
new theory, and consequent theory of
the innocence of the actress, was an
nounced by a police captain who has
been working on the case.
II think" said the captain, that
Young shot himself accidentally as he
was trying to get from the woman a
revolver which she had drawn with the
idea of committing suicide. That
means, of course. that she is innocent
of any intention of killing him. The
stories of some of the men who saw
the cab and Young and Mrs. Patterson
in it almost Immediately after the
shooting bear out this theory.
THAT Young and Nan Patterson
cared a great deal for each other, /
think, is apparent. 1t is not remarka-
BILE, then, that Mrs. Patterson contem-
plated suicide.
This theory also accounts for the
nature of the wound in Young's body
and the course of the bullet"
Those who are in charge of the po-
lice end of the case will ask for the
woman's discharge from custody when
she is again taken before the Coroner
