NAN PATTERSON TRIAL


NEW YORK. December 16-There was
5rst possibility when the trial OF Man
Patterson was resumed today that the for
nler SHOW girl might know her fate before
the close Of the present week. The prosecu-
ton had announced yesterday that its case
against the prisoner was practically COM
plete. There remained one or two wit
nesses to be heard, but Ethey were unim-
portant and would detain the jury only q
few minutes. 5sa s5s
At the same time counsel for Miss Patter-
son said they were undecided as to whether
they would put in any evidence or allow
their case to 60 to the jury as prepared by
the prosecution.
A dectston was to be reached at con-
ference between counsel. but the result Of
this conference was to be closely guarded
until the prosecution had formally announc-
ed its case complete
It was said that in case the defense de-
cided that 1t would be best to make an eff
jury by Assistant District Attorney Rand,
Miss Patterson would be the principal witt
ness In her own behalf. She was prepared
to tell the whole story OF her acquaintance
with Young, 1t was said.
Young's Racing Partner Recalled.
John Mellin. Young's racing partner, was
recalled by Mr.. Levy today. and identified
several letters as written by Young to Nan
Patterson. The letters were then admitted
and were read to the jury. One Of the let
tiers dated May 1. said he had heard some
unpleasant things about Miss Patterson,
and that he had caught Smith sizing him
up
He said he was glad to hear that she was
having good time. 1t was signed with
love and kisses. Frank
A second letter, dated May 3, chided the
defendant for being so persistent in want
ing to see him and also promised that he
would make big bet. mot for myself, but
for YOU
The old question Of admissibility Of evil
dence concerning ]. Morgan Smith came up
and the jury was excused until after noon
to allow counsel to argue points of law.
After hearing arguments Justice Davis
decided that he would permit the evidence
concerning the Smiths to go to the jury.
Motions to strike out the testimony Of
Joseph Hewitt, a newsboy. who told Of a
quarrel between Smith and Miss Patterson,
and to call number Of witnesses not
summoned by the defense, were denied by
the court. Attorney Unger Of counsel for
the defense made a formal motion for the
acquittal of the defendant. He asserted
that there was no evidence to warrant the
prosecution asking for conviction, and
cited several court decisions to sustain his
contention that no case had been made out
against his client

GEN. KAULBARS AT MUKDEN.
Japanese Said to Be Supplying Arms to
Chinese

MCKDEN December 16.-Upon the arri-
val of Gen. K.ulbars. commander of the
third army here today from Hardin, he was
received by guard of honor headed by
band of music and by Gems. Sakharof and
Bilderling He made a brief speech con-
veyng the emporer's greetings. Gen. kaul-
bars then continued his journey to Chan
STA mutung. where he had conference
with Gen. Kuropatkin.
A brisk cannonade is progressing along
the center.
The Japanese are supplying the Chinese

Dispatches From Port Arthur.
CHEFOO. December 16. p. m.-Seven
Russians In civilian garb, but a military
training obvious in their bearing, arrived
today In an open sailboat carrying dis
patches They were unwilling to talk and
went Immediately to the Russian consul
late. A high wind enabled them to make
a quick passage from Port Arthur
The sail boat in which the Russians
reached Chefoo this morning left Port Ar
thur last night under cover OF snow storm
and had q terrible experience in crossing.
The men were nearly frozen when they
made this port and were unable to leave
the boat without assistance. The Russians
brought a large number of dispatches.
Sinking of Russian Ships Confirmed.
Passengers who arrived here today from
the Kwangtung peninsula confirm the
truthfulness of the official Japanese reports
of the sinking of various Russian ships re-
Gently at Port Arthur. They say the Jap
anese would have been able to accomplish
this in the past two months. but apparently
preferred to use their guns against the
Russian military forces.
1t Is believed the destruction of the Rus
sian ships indicates that the Japanese
abandoned the hope Of capturing the fort
ress. The japanese lost three torpedo boats
within the past month by mines. the last
one sinking during the night attack of
December IA on the Russian battle ship Sc
v6stopol.
The fighting during which 203 Meter Hill
was captured was terrific, that achieve
ment alone costing the Japanese 1900 cas-
ualties. The Japanese have been unable
TO occupy the hill except for observation.
They have taken none of the main forts.
Three steamers laden with ammunition
and provisions ran the blockade of Port
Arthur in the past fortnight and there are
high hopes that the fortress will hold out
fUr many months. The Japanese are al
legged to be depressed at their unsuccessful
sacrifice of lives.

DEADLOCK CONTINUES
LEADERS IN SENATE AND HOUSE
RETAIN SAME VIEWS.

The deadlock in Congress over the place
for holding the inaugural bail continues,
and while leaders In the House OF Repre-
seEtatives declare they will never consent
to having the ball in the pension office
building, on the Senate side of the Capitol
there is quite as strong sentiment against
permitting that function to be held in the
Library of Congress or in the Capitol It.
self On former occasions 1t has been sug-
gested that the Library of Congress would
offer magnificent opportunities for the hold
Ing Of ball, but from the time that build
ing was completed the sentiment in the
Senate has been uniformly opposed to per-
hitting the use of the building for any pur-
pose except that which is directly connect
ed with the conduct Of the library itself.
Shortly after the building was finished
the overcrowded condition In the Capitol
caused the suggestion that Congress itself
might use with advantage a portion of the
library building. There were large rooms
which at first appeared without special use
there only for future library development,
which Ii was said could be cut up into COM
mittee rooms for the use of senator's. But
this suggestion never gained any Roadway.
Such senators as Morrill, of Vermont, Hoar
of Massachusetts, Wetmore of Rhode ISL
and, and, in fact, all leading senators on
the republican and democratic sides, con-
sidered 1t inadyisable to make the least ex-
be used strictly for library purposes. They
realized that if the rule were once broken
there would be an immense amount of diff
Guilty in keeping the library building free
from numerous intrusions. For these rea-
sons when later it was suggested that the
building would offer fine opportunities for
an inaugural ball. no consideration what
ever was given to 1t beyond prompt dis
approval.
Capitol Impracticable.
So far as the use of the Capitol instead
OF the librarytis concerned the sentiment on
the Senate side is that such a suggestion
is entirely impracticable. Congress would
be in session during the day preceding the
inaugural ball and all the committee rooms
would be occupied and In use up to within
a few hours of the the time the ball would
be held The rotunda of the Capitol, II is
calculated, would be crowded beyond the
possibility of any dancing with many thou
sand persons. and 1t was pointed out that
on an occasion of this kind every one de-
sires to be at the central point Of interest
where the President and his party will be
located and in the case of the use of the
Capitol that would be in the rotunda.
There being no gallery about the rotunda
and only steep stairway leading to its

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December ia large at
tendance of fashionably dressed women
marked the opening of the Patterson trial
today. Chorus girls and friends of the ac
cused actress were largely in evidence to
shake her hand in case Judge Davis dis
missed the case without allowing it to go to
the jury. "a
Lawyer Levy this morning said: There
has been no evidence to connect my client
with any crime, andounless there is some-
thing the district attorney may bring out
later, l do not see why I should put the
taxpayers of the county to any greater ex-
pense than they have already undergone"
Nan Patterson walked into the court room
today locking confident She firmly be-
lieves that she will spend Christmas with
her invalid mother.
After talking with her counsel J. Ran
dolph Patterson said he shared his daugh-
ter's confidence. e5e ,--.sf frs-r
Miss Patterson's lawyers were ready. as
soon as the state had listed, to ask Justice
that the murder s e f cae s Young has
not been proven by the state. The case,
however, will undoubtedly go to the jury
early next week, and unless something un-
expected occurs NAN Patterson will know
her fate before Christmas.
On that day she will be either free and at
home with her parents. or she will be in a
cell with a term in the state prison staring

Letters From Washington.
In letters which came from Washington

tragedy, in desperate effort to retain his
love and prevent him from parting from

These letters Lawyer Levy succeeded in
placing before the jury through John MIL

Levy recalled Millin to the stand and
made him identify the letters as being In
the handwriting of Young. The letters
showed the friendlest understanding be-
tween Nan Patterson and Young. In them
he sends her love and kisses and declares
if he has to be away from her at times it
is because he is working for her and him
self. One of the letters however. contains
a protest against her persistency in seek
