of the tragedy, also made her cry.
These two witnesses, produced by the uis-
trict attorney, made 1t clear that after tne
killing of Young the prisoner was overcome
with horror wrung her hands, tainted, de-
clared again and again that he had shot
himself and protested that she had now
nothing to live for.

Jurors Evaded Prisoners Face.
So much has been said about sympathy
for youth and beauty and sex as an obsta-
Gle in the way of justice that it was notable
that none of the jurors looked at Nan Pat
terson. An day they seemed to make
point of avoiding the influence Of her pres
ence.
Not even when she wept at the sight OF
the bullet hole in Caesar Young's coat and
the bloodstain on his shirt did one OF the
jurors look at her.
Her shiver at the sight of the revolver.
the emotional swallowings of her WHITE
throat and billings of the lip were all I'M
noted by the twelve men who are to say
what her fate is to be-,
Once she raised her veil and showed q
countenance appealing in it's pall0r ana
gravity, the soft. brown girlish hair lying
massed on the broad white brow, the eyes
stonily cold, the. small. full mouth dropped
at the corners. Not juror turned his head.
Mrs. Young Vital Witness.
Mrs Young will testify to two very essen
tial features of the case that up to the pres
ent moment have not been made public.
She will swear that on the morning that
her husband left her to go to the rendezvous
with Nan Patterson she helped him pick
out the suit that he was to wear aboard the
Germanic when he sailed. She went through
the pockets of the old suit he was discard
ing and there was not in the pockets any
revolver. -
Nan Patterson, it will be shown. were for
the purpose of securing from her the love
letters that he had written to her. Young
met the girl the night before his death to
get the letters. She promised IT is aileged5-
to give them to him the next mornlng.
He met her at the Circle Cafe and. got
into the cab with her, intending to give Hsr
break with her, the state will contend to
be final and positive. The letters he wanted
lest they be used to extort from him black
mail
The bag was torn, it is alleged by friends
of the dead man, in his mad attempt to get
the letters that the Patterson girl said she
had with her.
These are the two features of the case
that the state will attempt to prove.
Rand's Strong Arrangement.
Attorney Rand's speech Of yesterday was
evidently intended for a masterpiece. Rare
ly has a lawyer put so much into an open
ing statement. He began with a disser-
ton on the duties of citizenship, swung
around to tribute to womanhood and then

saw them. Incidentally Rand had an appre-
citation Of the strength of obvious fairness
and the value of contrast. So he blazed
out that Nan Pattersons chastity or virtue
were not at issue, and then proceeded 10
demonstrate that she had not a vestge
of either.
Her mode of life Is no business of yours
and none of mine" he Numbered, and then
getting her honor and her SEX and the
degradation of woman's soul.
And all the while Nan Patterson played
with her smelling salts or started at the
picture of 1.-The Fates'' before her-a IA
nous picture, one of the figures of which,
1.-The Measurer of the Strands of Life" is
much the same type physically as the pris-
oner herself. All this matter of the "fraH
sisterhoed'' and the electric picture of the
life of the bookmaker and his Tenderloin
temptations meant nothing to her. She has
heard such lines on the stage, and they
are probably associated In her mind with
cues ana applause
His Portrayal Of Young.
Mr.. Rand did not spare the defendant in
his opening to the jury. He told of her
relations with Young a married man. He
said that the. killing of Young instead OF
being an impulsiye act on her part had
been planned thirteen hours before. He
pictured Young as man of loose habits
and of profane speech, who was habitually
a IA rd ri hl1f rar sal NJ o
of liquor.
But he had other traits which will rec
ommend him to YOU" Mr.. Rand said. HE
was a man of the highest honor gambler
not give fair odds or that he ever WEIGHED
on a bet. He was generous; man Of pre-
possessing appearance; a man to whom
women were devoted. Women liked him
as the expression Is, he gave up easily"
MIR. Rand described how Nan met Young
on a train going to California in 1902. They
became intimate with remarkable celebrity
and left the train together at Chicago
From there they journeyed on together to
California. and one day Mrs. Young found
them at Turkish bath after a. nights
spree. There was scene, and Nan was
told she would have to leave him. Mfilin
bought ticket for her to leave town and
gave her $500, which Young supplied. She
left, but was soon after him again. The
money did not last long.
Mans Former Husband.
Before leaving prison yesterday Nan Pat
terson was visited in the Tombs by her
former husband. Louis Martin, who is now
employed in the Paulding Hotel. She mar-
ried Martin when she was sixteen years
old, and lived with him only year, when
she went upon the stage, taking her maid
en- name. Daniel O'Reilly. one of her law
yers, said that she subsequently secured a
divorce. and that she is now twenty two
years of age. Martin, Mr.. O'Reilly an
nounced, expressed his intention of doing
all he can to aid his former wife, and win
appear before the trial Is over as a witness
in her behalf. He was present throughout
the hearing yesterday. -
Best View of the Prisoner.
The artists naturally have given the best
view of Nan Patterson. In profile there is
no question Of her prettiness Her dun
black hair with CLINT of red in It, sweep
ing down over broad forehead in a Floro-
dora bang, her arched clean eyebrows her
eyes with constant hint of tears in them.
her short nose. pouting lips and soft chin
make up a pleasing exterior.
Her full face is different thing Facing
her 1t Is seen that the short nose Is too
broad; the lines at the corners are deep
