Two Important Decisions.

Columbus, O., Dec. 1O.-The at
torney generals department rendered
two important opinions to the bureau
of uniform accounting yesterday. One
is that delinquent water rents from a
municipal plant cannot be placed upon
the tax duplicate nor held as lien
against the property owner and there
is no process by which to collect. In
the other, tax assessors in municipali-
ties are held not to be municipal of
ficers, but township public officials
and must be paid through the county
auditor.

THE PATTERSON MURDER TRIAL
STERN, THE PAWNBRoKER, ON
THE WITNESS STAND.
HE GAVE LITTLE INFORMATION.
Headless Skeleton Produced to Decide
the Course of the Bullet After
1t Entered the Murdered
Mans Body.

New York, Dec. 14.-A dramatic
situation developed yesterday in the
criminal branch of the supreme court
when Nan Patterson, on trial for the
murder of Caesar Young, stood up in
the court room and faced Pawnbroker
Hyman Stern, who sold the revolver
with which Young was killed. Stern
was unable to identify the prisoner as
the woman who accompanied the man
to whom he sold the revolver. He
was not certain whether this man had
a smooth face or wore a mustache. He
was not asked to identify the photo
graph of Morgan Smith.
Police Captain Sweeney identified
the photograph. He said that he saw
Smith on June s last and gave him a
grand jury subpoena. Objection was
made to the Introduction as evidence
of copy of the subpoena served by
the witness and the jury was excused
while Justice Davis listened to argu-
ments of counsel.
Mr.. Rand informed the court that
the theory of the prosecution is that
Smith and his wife were co-conspira-
tors against Young, although they had
not planned to kill him. The prosecu-
tor said he was prepared to prove that
Smith and his wife, with the active
connivance of the defendants father
and also with the connivance of the
defendants lawyers, had fed to parts
unknown.
Justice Davis reserved decision on
the question raised.
New York, Dec. ia headless
human skeleton, dorsal vertebrae and
ribs played an important part yester-
day in the trial of Nan Patterson for
the murder of Caesar Young. The
gruesome exhibits were made use of
in the examination of Dr. Philip
O'Hanlon, the coroner's physician,
who performed the autopsy on Young's
body.
The skeleton was used to decide the
course of the bullet after it entered
Young's body.
Assuming that Young with the pis
tol in his right hand, had crossed it
over his chest and shot into his left
side, the prosecution contended that
the bullet would have travelled to the
left. The fact that it flew straight in
wards to the spine was advanced as
proving that the wound was not self
inflicted.
Lawyer Levy. for the defense, tried |
to gain an admission that the muscu-
lar covering of the ribs at the point of |
entrance of the bullet may have de-
flected its course, but DIR. O'Hanlon |
declared that there had been no de-
flection until the bullet struck the
spine.
DR.. O'Hanlon testified that he had /
found powder marks on Young's |
fingers. His testimony as to the course
Of the bullet was corroborated by DR..
Rigims, of the Hudson street hospital. |
