Trial Adjourned.
The illness Of juror caused a. sudden
and unexpected adjournment in the
trial which was to have been continued
in the criminal branch of the supreme
court today, after the THANKSGIVING
holiday recess. When everything was
in readiness to proceed, it was an
nounced that Juror Edward Dressler

Smith Not Found.
The story to the effect that J. Morgan
Smith, Nan Patterson g brother-in-law,
who fed after he had been subpoenaed
to appear before the grand jury, had
been found and was locked up at police
headquarters, is denied by the police.
The prosecution has kept up an I'M
remitting search for Smith ever since
he disappeared. They charge that it
was Smith who purchased the revolver
with which Young was shot, and that he
would prove to be their strongest wit
ness if he could be found.
| Already Smith IS photograph has been
introduced in the case and identified,
and the prosecution has promised that
the pawnbroker who sold the revolver
will also identify, the photograph as
that Of the man who purchased the
weapon.
TO D1scredit Witnesses.
Those in charge of the people g case
may strive when the trial is drawing tC
a close to discredit the testimony of the
numerous eye-witnesses the defendant 's
counsel promises to call to the stand
Mr.. Rand asserts that some of the wit
nesses before they went to the office OF
Abraham Levy and volunteered their
services for Miss Patterson, called or
him and declared that they had seer
the shooting and that the actress held
the weapon in her hands. At that time
he says, these stories were considered
hysterical and the prosecution cast the
offers aside. 81.
Later, however, SO many eye-wit
nesses have come forward, says Mr.
Rand, that it became necessary to take
some steps to rebuff their testimony and
a special detail of detectives has beer
assigned to investigate the stories OF
the witnesses, as quickly as their iden
tity is disclosed.
Their First Meeting. ..
The story of the first meeting be-
tween Caesar Young and Nan Patter
son was told today by Miss Kinyon, 3
young woman who was present when il
took place, and the facts read more like
a romance than a story of real life
The meeting between Young and Miss
Patterson was the result Of dispute
about a ticket which Young had in 8
railway station in Chicago. Politely
he permitted the young woman to steI
ahead Of him, suspending his argument
Afterwards he paid attentions to her OF
the train. That was the beginning OF
the acquaintance which ended in trag
edy and q murder charge.
| Young's Money Gone.
| Three days before he was killed
Caesar Young borrowed $4,000 il
cash on the Endorsement of his wife tx
pay the expenses Of the European tril
on which the Youngs were starting
Only $4,000 was found in his pockets
after the shooting, and his friends say
he had spent about 800. This leave!
a discrepancy Of $12,500, for which thu
family and friends have been unable tt
account.
