MAY SOON KNOW FATE.
Trial Of Nan Patterson Nearing End
Case of Prosecution Prac-
tically Completed.

New York, Dec 17.-There was Just
possibility when the trial of Nan
Patterson was resumed Friday that
the former show girl might know her
fate before the close of the present
week. The prosecution announced
Thursday that it's case against the
prisoner was practically complete
There remained one or two witnesses
to be heard, but they were unimpor-
tant and would detain the jury only a
few minutes. At the same time coun-
sci for Miss Patterson said they were
undecided as to whether they would
put in any evidence or allow their
case to go to the jury as prepared by
the prosecution A decision as to this
was reached at conference between
counsel, but the result of this confer
ence was to be closely guarded until
the prosecution had formally an
nounced it's case complete. 1t was said
that in case the defense decided that it
would be best to make an effort to
rebut the evidence presented to the
jury by Assistant District Attorney
Rand, Miss Patterson would be the
principal witness in her own behalf.
She was prepared to tell the whole
story of her acquaintance with Young,
it was said.
