NAN PATTERSON
CR0SS-EXAMINED
Declares She Didn't Kill Caesar Young
and Denies Everything.
BOTH SIDES REST THEIR CASE

New York. Dec. 21.-After q day OF
torment, facing the merciless cross
examination of Prosecutor Rand, Nan
Patterson, the former show girl, was
tired, but happy. For several hours she
sat under the CALLING cross fire of the
assistant district attorney, who probed
the events of her life from the day she
met Caesar Young, for the killing OF
whom she is being tried, until the mo-
ment OF his tragic death.
There were few striking admissions
made by the witness. despite the very
searching questions asked. Noticeable
among these. however. was the story
OF the money given by the bookmaker
to Miss Patterson during their years
acquaintance. At one time the sum was
$500. at another $500. and at others
$500 and $500.
She did not know the total amount,
and could not state whether 1t would
total $4,000, but acknowledged that
Young was a very generous man and
gave her money whenever she asked.
Miss Patterson said Young was fear
ful Mrs. Young would kill him and
possibly the actress also, and for that
reason wished her to flee to Europe
with him. Later she modified this IN
der the battery of the prosecutor.

MRS. CHADWICK

Was Excused From Testifying Be
cause of Illness.
TWO MORE BANKS CLOSE

Cleveland, O., Dec 21.-Mrs. Cassie
l.. Chadwick was brought into the
bankruptcy court here in the bank
ruptcy proceedings against her, but
was excused from testifying because of
Illness. Whether Mrs. Chadwick will
again be summoned will depend on
counsel for Receiver Nathan Loeser.
whose attorneys are expected to take
up the matter Should Mrs. Chadwick
again be brought into court, it is I'M
likely that she will give any testi
mony. If she does it will be against the
advice of her attorney, who refuses
even to allow her to be sworn as
witness.
When the court was ready to proceed.
]. P. Dawley, attorney for Mrs. Chad
wick, made the announcement that he
would not allow her to be sworn, but
had decided to have her come to court
that it could not be said she was
shamming illness, although he knew
her to be in no condition to be sum-
moned.
Il have not been able to carry on a
connected conversation with this wom-
an, owing to her condition" said Mr..
Dawley. Il am as much in the dark
about her affairs as any one"
Touching on the possibility Of con-
tempt proceedings growing out of the
bankruptcy case, Attorney Dawley
said:
You can send her back to Jail If she
is in contempt for not testifying. At
night she can sleep in one cell and
stay in another during the day"
Mrs. Chadwick became more nerv-
Gus as the attorneys argued and SEEM
ed on the verge of fainting. Soon after
the announcement was made that she
was excused she returned to the Jail in

COLLISION ON THE PeNNsY
Local Crashes Into Chicago Limites
and Overturps Two SIeeners

Local Crashes Into Chicago Limited
and Overturns Two SIeepers.
Philadelphia, Dec 20.-The Chicago
limited on the Pennsylvania railroad
was run into by a local passenger
train in the railroad yards at 44th
street and Girard avenue, this city. and
several persons were injured. Among
those hurt are II. lie Bastian. of De-
troit, Mich, who received slight LAGER
atoms of the head, and l.. Nj. Beamer,
OF New York city, who sustained two
broken ribs
The fourth and fifth coaches of the
limited, both sleeping cars. were over
turned. The other coaches did not leave
the tracks. That the accident was not
more serious was due to the fact that
at the time the wreck occurred most
of the passengers travelling in the
fourth and fifth cars were in the din
ing car, which was the third coach
of the train.
The accident was due to a switch
failing to work, which caused the en-
CINE of the local train to cross over to
the west-bound track and strike the
third and fourth coaches. The over
turned coaches caught fire from a lamp
on the front of the engine, but the few
imprisoned passengers were rescued
before the flames had gained much

STEAMSHIP DISASTER
Nine Burned to Death In Vessel On
Long Island Sound.


New York, Dec. 19.-An awful re-
minder of the General Slocum steam
boat horror was the destruction by
fire of the steamboat Glen Island on
Long Island Sound, resulting in the
death OF two passengers and seven
members of the crew. The fire was
discovered when the steamer was off
Captains Island, and within 10 min
utes the vessel was wrapped in flames
from stem 10 stern
In splendid contrast to the circum-
stances attending the destruction of
the General Slocum, the crew of the
Glen Island behaved heroically, and
the name of Fireman Newman Miller
stands out WILDLY as that of a man
who gave up his life in a vain en-
deavor to rescue a terrified woman.
The fire is believed to have been due
to crossed electric wires
The members of the crew who per-
ished were in the hold and could not
escape before the flames swept over
thAm. Mrs. Sill1in escaped from her
cabin, but went back after her purse
and was burned to death. How the IN
known passenger met his fate lis not

MAYOR OF CAMDEN RESIGNS
Took This Action Rather Than Sign
$4,000 Bond Issue


Camden, N. j., Dec. 21.-Mayor 10 .
seph E. Nowrey handed his resignation
as mayor of Camden to the president
OF city councils, to take effect imme-
diately- No reason is given for his
stepping out of Office, but it is be-
heved he took this action rather than
sign the 100000 bond issue authorized
by city councils for the purchase of
land for park purposes.
City councils awarded the bond is
sue to New York firm of brokers'.
but the mayor refused to sign the
bonds on the ground that the price
to be paid for the land was excessive.
The matter was referred to the su-
preme court, which handed down a
decision directing that writ of man
damus be issued compelling the mayor
to attach his signature to the bonds.
Efforts were made to serve the writ
on the mayor, but he could not be
found. He personally handed his
resignation to the president of coun-
ellis, clerk of councils and the city
recorder. Mr.. Nowrey's term would
have expired on December 81. Under
the lay the city recorder becomes the
acting mayor.

with mingled cheers and Kisses, the
majority of the big crowd evidently
thinking the battle should have been
declared draw, as both men were on
their feet when the gong sounded in
the last round.
In the final round Nelson waded in
desperately, but could not locate Britt,
who suddenly hooked two fearful lefts
to the jaw. and followed IL with an
other staggering Nelson shit They
fought in the center of the ring and
exchanged right and left swings to
the faces. Britt then sent Nelson's
head back with a left hook and fol-
lowed 1t with a left swing to the Jaw
Then Britt once more hooked his left
to the jaw and followed il with two
right swings and a left hook to the
face. The fighting was fearful. Britt

TWO JAPANESE HEROES
Details eof Desperate Torpedo Attacks
AGAINST the SevastonoI


Toxic, Dec. 20. - Although accus-
toned to hearing of acts of bravery on
the part Of their soldiers and sailors,
r the people of Japan have been thrilled
by the details of the series of desper-
ate torpedo attacks against the Rus
0ian battleship SeVastopol and other
craft driven outside the harbor of Port
Arthur by the fire of the Japanese
land batteries.
commando YeZoe and Lieutenant
'Nas1ahara are the heroes of these at
tacEs, and the former promises to gain
equal prominence with Commander
Hirose (who on March 81 last was
blown to fragments in Vice Admiral
Togo's second attempt to bottle up
Port A.rthur) in the war traditions of
Japan.
Commander YeZoe's flotilla of tor
pedo boats was undergoing repairs
when the attacks were planned, but he
succeeded in putting one of his vessels
into condition for fight On this yes
sci he promptly steamed to the rem
devious, AMI, finding that the other
notllla had gone, begged and gained
permission to join in the attacks. Then
ne steamed through the snow storm
alone and succeeded in locating the
SeVastopol, TO which he was able to
get close enough so hear the Russians
talking.
Yezoe fred a torpedo and then went
closer and fired a second torpedo. when
she'll from the Sevastopol struck him
IN the abdomen, cutting his body in
two.
Portions OF Commander Yezoe's re-
mains were saved and brought back 10
the heet. They will probably come to
Japan for public interment, as was
done with portions of the remains of
Commander Hirose.
Lieutenant Nakahara went to the
rescue OF the disabled torpedo boat
which had been under the command of
Lieutenant Nakahori, who with five
others was killed, and submitted to a
deadly fire. Nakahara's boat was hit
repeatedly, but he succeeded in rescu-
ing majority of the crew of Naka-
hori's boat.
II Is probable that Admiral Togo will
soon return to Japan, leaving a Junior
admiral to conduct the final operations
and to continue the blockade. II is
expected that Togo will be summoned
by the emperor to Toxic, where he will
DC given splendid public receptions.
