Otto William Tennis. a druggist, on

| pointed the way to the hospital, telling

William Stemm. 5r., the young man who

| the day He was standing on the corner
| of West Broadway and York street and
| heard the revolver shot just after the cab

looked up the street quickly. trying to

which was about twelve feet away and
moving rather slowly. AS the cab swung
around to the drug store he followed and
saw the driver talking with the druggist.
In the cab he saw man and woman.

In reply to questions by Mr.. Levy. the
| witness said that about eight or nine
| minutes elapsed from the time he heard
the shot until the cab reached the drug
store. Traffic both ways prevented the
cab getting there sooner.
Mr.. Levy had one of the Jurors hold a
watch while the witness estimated one

ending by clapping his hands The jurors

elapsed between the two hand claps.

| Course of Bullet Shown by Skeletons.
| The human skeletons which frequently
| have been mentioned in connection with
| the case made their first appearance in the
| court room when Coroners Physician
| Philip F. O'Haplon was called to the stand.
DR.. O'Hanlon testified that he performed
the autopsy on Young's body, and said
that death was caused by hemorrhage of
the left lung, resulting from shot wound.
The bullet had entered the left shoulder
and passed downward toward the center of
the body. lodging in the muscles of the
back. probe was inserted in the skele-
ton to show the course taken by the bullet,
and both the skeleton and q bullet which
the witness identified as the one taken
from Young's body were marked as ex-
hibits.
While the skeleton was being exhibited
Miss Patterson turned deathly white and
called for a glass of water. It was feared
that she was going to faint, but she soon
gained control of herself
Nan Says Prosecution Has No Case.
Nan Patterson said after court adjourned
yesterday that she was happy woman.
She declared that the prosecution had failed
utterly to make out a case against her.
The Florodora actress was all smiles
she was led across the bridge Of signs. The
day before she had been in tears. That
was because she had been compelled to lis
ten to the opening of Assistant District At
torney Rand, who had pictured her in any
thing but an enviable light.
No witness called by the prosecution. so
the actress said. had given what might be
called dangerous evidence against her.
THE only thing l am sorry about she
said. lis that cannot go home for Thanks
giving. 1 had hoped that the trial would
be short one, but my lawyers tell me that
1T may be drawn out for weeks But. never
mind. 1 shall be free at the end of the
trial.
Her Attorney Has No Fear Of Autcome.
"If the district attorney has no better
witnesses to present to the jury than those
who have been called to the witness stand
thus far" said ex-Assistant District At
torney Daniel O. Reilly Of counsel for Nan
Patterson, I'VE need have no fear Of the
outcome Of the case. The prosecution has
thus far proved nothing. We shall be able
to prove that Caesar Young had the pistol
| in his right hand Immediately after the
| fatal shot was fired"
Mr.. Levy asked whether he had de-
| cided to call Nan Patterson to the witness
| stand.
THAT depends" said Mr. Levy ct may
| be that we shall not need to submit a de-
| Tense. l don't think the learned judge will
allow the case to go as far as the jury.
But in case we should be called upon to
put in defense we shall be ready. I can
not tell now If our client is to be wit
ness.
Skeleton Exhibit Startled Nan.
Nan" Patterson stared undisturbed at
| the blood stained shot-pierced clothes of
the man she is accused Of staying when
| they were held up before her; she gave no
sign of agitation when the events imme-
| diately following the death Of the man In
which she bore a part were detailed by the
| ca bman who took them on the death drive.
! the policeman who questioned her, the drug
| gist who refused to harbor the shot man
| all of which must have brought back the
| events of that morning with terrible dis
| tinctness, but there was one development
| of the trial that penetrated her cold reserve
| and stirred her torpid imagination.
This was the fragment of skeleton,
| brought into court to furnish the doctors a
means of illustrating the character OF the
| wound that killed Caesar" Young, for 1t
| is an important part of the prosecutions
| contention that no man could fire shot
| into his body at the angle and from the
| point al which this bullet entered the body
| of Young
