PATTERSON TRIAL PROGRESSES.
Stories of a Sensational Nature Are
Current About Case.

New York, Dec. Histories of pos
sible sensational turn in the case were
current today when the trial of Nan
Patterson, charged with the murder
of Caesar Young, was resumed in the
supreme court.
According to the story blank sub
poenaes have been obtained, and it is
said that even a blank position for
writ of habeas corpus has been filled
In, should an arrest make its imme-
date use available.
This startling turn Of the case was
occasioned by the intimation of the
state that person who advised and
engineered the escape Of J. Morgan
Smith, the actress brother-in-law, and
his wife, should be prosecuted on a
charge of conspiring to defeat the ends
of justice.
1t is expected that the state will take
at least two more days to submit its
evidence. The intentions of the de-
fense have been obscured.
Tha defense will be offerede is
now considered certain, however, in
view of the fact that number OF wit
nesses, including three who claim to
have witnessed Young shooting him.
self, have been subpoenaed.

ing bail had not been secured for the
release of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick
from the Tombs prison nor had shel
given notice of any intention to waive'
the examination in this city and go to
Cleveland for a hearing.
Apparently reconciled temporarily to
prison restraints and fare, and satis-l
fed that should she attempt to provide
the bail now required, the amount
would be Immediately so increased as
to become practically prohibitive. It
was believed today that Mrs. Chadwick
had consented to act upon the advice
of her counsel and await an examina.i
tion in New York next Saturday.
Mrs. Chadwick appears to have en-,
tirely recovered from the severe at
tacks of nervousness which attended
her first few hours in the Tombs and
apprehension of collapse are no longN
er entertained by the prison physt
clan.
Now that there is q prospect OF a
hearing in this city speculation as to
where and how Mr.. Carnegie will be
called to testify will be explained by
the remarkable disclosures made by
the treasurer, Iri Reynolds, of the
Wade Park bank of Cleveland. The
charge against Mrs. Chadwick was that
she signed check for $12,500 when
she had no funds in the Oberlin bank
and then procured their certification
of the check by the two bank officiala
under arrest in Oberlin. The author.
tiles in attempting to put Mr.. Carne
gle on the stand may argue, however,
that the bank officials certified the
check because in various Carnegie"
notes about which they had heard so
much and some of which they had
seen. Therefore, it will be claimed
Mr. Carnegies testimony is not rele'
want. A subpoena for for Andrew
Carnegie to testify in the Chadwick
case was received by the authorities
in this city today. 1t was issued in
Ohio.
