q New York, June 6.-Into the mys- !
terry Of the hanson cab in which
Caesar Young was killed yesterday,
there came new character to-day.
The identity Of this man is a police
secret.
It is limited that this mysterious man
was in some strange way an eye wit
ness Of the tragedy, and it is expected
that. he will come forward at the in
quest.
Young was well aware that his life
was in jeopardy" said a relative Of
the dead man to-day. 1.-The letters
he had received in the last few weeks
from this Patterson woman left him
no doubt on that score. His wife and
relatives also We're aware Of his peril,
and for some time he had been
watched to see that no harm should
come to him.
when that shot was fred in the
| hanson cab the witness who will give
the most damaging testimony against
the Patterson woman at the inquest
was near by, and his disclosures will
be sufficient to make a strong case
against the woman who has been
bounding Young for two years and
would not let him escape from her
net.
1.-The identity Of this man cannot be
revealed until the. moment that he is
called to confront the accused woman
| for the reason that she and her friends
! might be able to forestall his testi-
fmony.: The witness has been in con-
/ trict attorneys Office
Miss Patterson has told her story
of the fateful drive in the hanson to
her lawyers. She says she did not get

Knox hat store, but the detectives say
she had drink with Y oIing in saloon
at Bleecker street and West Broad
! way. Frederick Wonner, bartender,
says Young appeared to be perfectly
sober and calm, but Miss Patterson
was in great state of excitement and
was crying. Young appeared to be
telling the girl something that added
Il greatly to her excitement.
X The police admit that while there
is grave suspicion against Miss Patter-
son, they have been unable to find any
conclusive evidence.
Miss Patterson was aware that Mr.
Young's racing partner, Millin, has
been making threats against her life
and she is in the greatest fear of him
She says he has made threats against
her many times before, and that she
|. has reason to believe he is likely to dc
!. her bodily HARM
