NAN PATTERSON TO
FACE A new JURY
Second Trial Of Actress Now
In Progress
RECOVERED FROM HER ILLNESS

The Second Trial VIII Create More
Excitement than the First, as Mons
of the Star Witnesses Had Been Pro.
duced When Case Was Dismissed.
New York, Dec. 5.-For the second
time Nan Patterson, the former show
girl, today prepared to face a jury
which is expected to decide whether
she is guilty or innocent of causing
the death of Caesar Young, the book
maker.
Contrary to the usual order OF
things, it is expected that the present
trial will attract even more widespread
interest than did the first. Compare.
lively little of the evidence which the
prosecution claims to have, had been
presented when the previous trial was
brought to an abrupt termination by
the serious Illness of q Juror.
The defense had not even shown It's
hand. The case had scarcely passed
the preliminary stages when the inter
ruption came. Not one of the sever.
al persons frequently spoken of as
"star witnesses" had been called to
the stand
Only one hundred talesmen were
called when preparations for select
ing the jury were made and many Of
them had not been examined when the
panel was completed.
This time, however, in view of the
added publicity given the case, it was
thought that more trouble would be
experienced in filing the jury box and
a special panel of 200 talesmen has
been summoned.
During the past week Miss Patter
son, weakened by the strain Of the
first trial, had been Ill in her cell in
the Tombs prison, but she had recov'
ersd sufficiently to permit her to &c
to court today.

feature of the re-assembling was the
