MUST GO TO
THE JURY
AcquittaI Denied In Nan
Patterson Case
PRISONER MAY TESTIFY
Her Counsel Nay Make No Defence
And Simply Ask for AVerdict
of Not Guilty
MAY TESTIFY

NEW YORK, Dec. 1T.-WithOut hear
ing argument by the prosecution,
which had rested its case. Justice Yer
non NJ. Davis, in the criminal branch
of the supreme court, denied the mo-
ton of Nan PattersOn's counsel to ac-
quit her of the charge of numbering
Caesar Young and adjourned the trial
until Monday at the request of the de-
Tense.
Mr.. Levy, representing Miss Patter.
son, said he had not yet decided wheth-
er he would make any defense or
simply let the case go 10 the jury as il
was. The question of the admissible.
ity of evidence concerning J. Morgan
Smith and his wife was again raised.
and Justice Davis decided TO admit tha
evidence.
John Mellin. Young's racing partner.
was recalled and identified several let
tiers written by Young 10 Miss Patter
son. Only two other witnesses were
called, the greater part of the session
being taken up by argument of coun-
sell
After adjournment Abraham Levy
chief of defendants counsel. would
neither affirm nor deny that there was
to he defense. but from anOthes
source it was learned that witnesses
will be questioned on Monday by coun-
sci for Nan Patterson.
In all probability the defendant her
self will then testify. This she has
been anxious all along to be permitted
to do. although her counsel have ar.
gued against such a course They have
feared she might break down under the
ordeal but she declares she has no
fear of such Il result if allowed to give
evidence in her own behalf. Abraham
Levy said:
1T is very embarrassing for counsel
for the defendant to have proofs OF
evidence in his possession that the
prisoner at the bar is not guilty and
be fully confident that the state has
not made out case against her and
yet be in Il quandary as to whether or
not a defense in her behalf should ba
offered.
We will not make any declaration
as yet as 10 our probable action when
court opens on Monday. We will have
several conferences between now and
that time and will not make known out
decision before then"

ILLEGAL DEER KILLING.
One Place In Rutland County Said To Be
Center OF IT,

Rutland, Dec 4,-The game war
dens Of this vicinity have received
much new evidence during the past
Few days of Wholesale violations of
the Vermont laws protecting deer
from slaughter, and there is now little
doubt that many deer are killed at all
times Of the year in the mountain
towns east Of Rutland, those who kill
them doing SO for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning the flesh for food, on which
they largely subsist. and also for tn e
money which they receive for the skins
these being shipped to tanneries and
taXidermists out of the state.
Officers a few days ago visited the
town of Mendon, where a Barrett
family have been staying for some
time, and in the house under the kit
chen floor they found IA deer skins,
which had been hidden there. Some
were very dry and others were COM
paratively fresh. The officers are now
trying to prove that the skins wer
placed there by the Barretts. A fawn
was found in this family's possession
some time ago and it is now being
brought up on the preserves of NJ. +.
Wheeler at Mendon.
1T is thought that most OF the deer
are killed in the winter when here is
so much snow on the ground that it is
easy to catch them, and good price
can then be secured for the hides.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
Large Audience Enjoyed the Exercises Friday
Evening.


An excellent entertainment was Civ
en- at the Graded School hall Friday
evening by the pupils of the lower
grades.
Although every number on the pro-
gram was well given, perhaps the most
pleasing were those in which the chill
dren from the kindergarten and first
grade appeared.
Especially worthy of mention was
the rainbow drill by 30 girls from the
second and third grades, poppy song
and delsarte, by girls from the fourth
and fifth grades and the fan drill by
the eighth and ninth grade girls.
The entire program showed the re-
suit of careful drill and preparation
by the teachers and pupils.
There was large attendance and
over $50 was added to the art fund.

Such disappointments are inevitable,
but only chaos and loss can result from
them. All fairness and all |
success demand the support of every |

the republican nominees for congress,
and those for the legislature. on whom
depend all wise legislation, and per-
