A Eomoug whist Hand.

The most notorious hand of whist
ver played is that known as 'the
Duke of Cumberlands hand" 1t has
Aever been definitely settled how this
hand came to be dealt, but such a pc
culiar combination naturally suggests
suspicious of foul play. The duke,
playing in the room at Bath, held in
his hands king, knave, nine, seven or
trumps Clubs; ace, king of diamonds;
ace king, queen, knave of hearts, and
ace, king, queen of spades, and yet
was unable to secure a single trick and,
moreover, lost a bet of 100000 upon
the hand. This incredible result was
achieved as follows: The duke of
course led with a trump and found his
partner void in that suit. His left
hand adversary, whom we may call Y,
having ace, queen, ten, eight, and his
right hand adversary, T.. the remaining
five trumps and no diamonds, the con
sequence was that z. trumped diamonds
twice, and Y, sitting over the duke
with better trumps, after taking the
sixth trick had the lead with the seven
remaining diamonds, and thus Y. and
n. made the thirteen tricks.

DEFENSE CLAIM THEY
HAVE EYE WITNESS
Nan Patterson's Lawyers Say
They Will Clear Her.
SAW THE FATAL SHOT FIRED


Man viii Swear He Witnessed Caesar
Young in the Act of Killing Him.
seIf-court Will Adjourn Today Un.
til Next Monday.
New York, Nov. 23.-When the trial
OF Nan Patterson was resumed today
her attorney, Abraham Levy, declared
that although the prosecution has
erected several strong barriers through
which the defense will have to batter
its way to secure the acquittal of Miss
Patterson, he had no. fear that they
would not succeed. He asserted that
he would bring forward witness who
would tell a convincing story of hav
ing actually seen the shooting no mat
ter how strong the evidence of the
people to the effect that no one was
within range OF vision of the cab
when the fatal shot was fired. This
witness was a passenger on a street
Ca passing across West Broadway,
short distance from the scene of the
tragedy, he said and in his narrative
he will swear from where he stood,
rnougn his glance was but momentary,
he saw Nan Patterson's companion
in the cab grasping a revolver in his
hand and struggling with the young
woman who was endeavoring to wrest
it from him. At the close of today's
proceedings an adjournment will be
taken until next Monday, as it Is the
custom of the court not to convene on
a Friday after a holiday
Before the opening of today's pro-
ceedings, Mr.. Rand announced that
none of the most important witnesses
called before Monday and the greater
part OF the day will be taken up with
the expert testimony Of physicians and
other witnesses by whom it will be at
tempted to prove that young could not
have shot himself. While vitally i'm
pOrtant to the prescution's case this
testimony will not have the human in
terest motive that will be found in the
narratives of Mrs. Young, John Millin,
the bookmaker's farmer partner, and
dozen other witnesses.
The skeleton which was brought
into the case yesterday for the use OF
Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon in de,
scribing the course of the bullet which
caused Young's death, was again
brought into the court room when the
trial was resumed today.
The ghastly exhibit was suspended
near the witness stand when Mr.. Levy,
for the defense, continued the cross.
examination of the coroner's physician
which was interrupted by the adjourn.
ment of court yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Levy in his cross-examination
led DR.. O'Hanlon back over the ground
covered in his direct testimony Yes,
terday. The witness described in de.
tail the autopsy which he performed |
ON Young's body.
"Tf you had regarded the case one
of homicide, would you have made a |
more careful examination? asked Mr.. |
Levy.
81 did not so regard it then as a |
case of homicide"
did you regard it as a case of sui
cide?"
81 did," the witness replied.

New York, Nov. 23.-Total abstain.

AS Is well known, the insurance

that number of actuaries and medi.

over ten years and from the records
of a large number of life companies,
several Of the authorities have come
to the conclusion that the total abtain.

fall of snow has occurred in the Brit.
