LIFE.

Patterson for the murder of Book
maker Caesar" Young is under way
now. Assistant District Attorney

death.
William J. Junior, the, policeman
who was first to reach the cab after
the shooting, testified that Miss Pat
terson was hystericsl and crying
"Oh Caesar, why did you do it?"
There was other interesting testi-
mony, particularly that Of Detective
Quinn who took Miss Patterson from
the hospital where Young died to the
police station. He said the woman
said to him: 81 don't want to live
now. Why should he nave killed
himself" The officer said she tainted
several times in the station and that
several times sne asked him to kill
her as she had nothing to live for, new
that Caesar" was dead.

oipal witness. He told Of the shoot

A Letter Received From Him
Acknowledging Honor.
Committee Left Louisville Last
Night for Detroit 10 Confer
With Him.
AN ANSWER EXPECTED SOON

A letter received yesterday morn
ing by the Rev. DR.. ]. G. Minnigerode
from the Rev. DR.. Charles Edward
Woodcock, of Detroit, while merely
an acknowledgment of the notifica-
ton of his election to the bishopric of
Kentucky. by its tone caused local
churchmen 10 feel almost confident Of
his acceptance, and the notification
committee of the diocesan council,
composed Of DR.. j. G. Minnigerode.
DR.. Charles Ewell Craik, William A.
Robinson and Alvah l.. Terry, will
leave tonight for Detroit to confer
with him in person. says yesterday
Courier-Journal.
The circumstances attendant upon
his election and the lack of contro-
versy over his name II is thought will
greatly influence DIR. Woodcock in
his decision. Many Episcopalians
yesterday expressed the belief that
after mature consideration DR.. Wood
cock would accept the honor offered
him. DR.. Woodcock was notified of
his election by wire as soon as the
voting was finished, and he acknowl
edged this message referring to his
letter.
William A. Robinson, when asked
whether in his opinion DIR. Woodcocl
would accept, said: I'VE thought he
would accept or we would not have
elected him. feel that he will come
to us. II should be remembered that
this is a weighty question, and re-
quires much consideration. We would
not want a man who could decide in
moment such an important matter.
His family and work must both be
considered"
Showing in what high estimation
DR.. Woodcock is held by his. own con-
gregation. a prominent business man
of Detroit. a member of DR.. Wood
cocks church and a warm personal
friend of William A. Robinson, wrote
to Mr.. Robinson as soon as he heard
of the high honor offered Dr. Wood
cock and congratulated the diocese
Of Kentucky in the highest terms
upon its excellent choice.
While the members of his own
church wish to see him honored. they
do not wish to lose DR.. Woodcock.
and they feel that not only their own
church but the city of Detroit and the
state of Michigan will share their
loss.
