Nan Patterson Plays to
 the Court and Jurors
SHOWED HOW YOUNG DIED
The Actress Made a Good Witness The Defense Rested at the ConcIu- sion of Her Relation and the Case Will Go to the Jury Today.

New York, Dec, 20.-After day of torment facing the merciIess cross ex- animation Of Prosecutor Rand. Nan Patterson. the former show girl. went to her cell in the Tombs tonight tired but happy. For several hours she sat under the galling cross fire of the as- sistant district attorney who prObed the events of her life from the day she met Caesar Young, for the killing of whom she is being tried, till the mom- | ant of his tragic death. No detail was 50 trival as to escape the attention of l the states attorney. but with scarcely an exception the accused actress proved Q marvel of self control.
 Only once did NIT. Rand confuse her i greatly. In going ov@r the converse tion between her and Young at the ! Gravesend track, Miss Patterson testi- fled that Young gave as. his reason for sailing to Europe the fact that he was afraid Mrs. Young might harm him or the prisoner. Miss Patterson final | ly admitted that shs recalled only an incident which had happened at San Francisco
 At times she parried the sharp ques- tions of her inquisitor. but when he pinned her down to definite question her answer was frankness itself. Miss Patterson talked in a low. clear voice. punctuating- her evidence here and there with expressions of much spirit Tn the course of one of her answers she exclaimed in a voice ringing with sincerity. 'I have always tried to be truthful and hOnorable" Miss Pat | ter son was led over the same ground 1 today as yesterday. but in a manner manifestly different. Tor today she was under the rapid fire questioning of a man who had handled the case against l her and legal pitfalls were to be ex- 1 pected. | There were CIV striking admissions mace hy the witness. despite the very searching questions asked Noticeable anrong. these hours was a story of mon ev given by the booiInaker to Miss Patterson during their years acQuaint- a1ce. At one time the sum was & soc. at another S2.50O and at another $1. S00 or $500. She did not know the total amount and could not state whether it would total $50.00O but acknowledged that Young was a very generous man and gave her money whenever she asked.
 Miss Patterson said that Young was fearful Mrs. Young would kill him and possibly the actress also. and for that reason wished her to flee to Europe with him. Later she modified this un- der the battery of the prosecutor.
 4 dramatic climax of tOday's court scene came with a pantOmime enacted lby Miss Patterson and the district at torney's messenger, showing the death Iscent in the cab. Seated side by side on a platform facing the court and jury the messenger under the tutelage lof the former show girl. grasped her V rists and they swayed back and forth aS the prisoner said she and Young naG done just before the shooting With the calm reserve of one accus- toned to play to thO,.sands. Miss Pat uersOn, without trem Jr. went over the srCne and by her interpretation tried to make it clear that Young had taken his own life.
 Throughout the two hours and forty minutes that Miss Patterson faced the cross examination today few shadows of emotion crossed her pale face. She lad evidently nerved herself for an ordeal but when it was over the re- action came and she trembled violently Arising from her chair she bowed to Judge Davis and the Earl of Suffolk. who was beside him, and to the jurors. T.en gathering up her skirts. she ran down to her aged father. who sat by her CounseIs table. and buried her face CT his shoulder. He kissed her affec- tionateIy ;tnd said softly.
