NAN PATTERsoN's TRIAL.
Marks on Young's Fingers-object to
Expert Testimony.

LAPCIt 4CStlAOuy
NEW YORK, December 13-The small
black specks observed in the skin on two
fingers of Caesar Young's right hand by
Coroner's Physician O'HanIon when he per-
formed the autopsy on Young's body were
the center of interest when the Patterson
trial was resumed in the supreme court to-
day. The small portion of skin bearing the
marks was stripped from the dead mans
fingers and had been submitted to DR..
Ernest j. Lederle, former health commits
s1oner, for an examination to determine
whether or not the marks were caused by
gunpowder.
suit of his investigation. His examination
of the skin, which was made with the aid
of a microscope, he said, failed to satisfy
him either that the spots were or were not
eunpowder. He said that chemical analysis
might possibly show the nature of the SUBJ
stance which caused the black spots, but
that it would be only a chance, and in maxi
ing the experiment with the small bit OF
material submitted to him the identity of
the spots might be destroyed. At the sug-
sestion OF Mr.. Rand the piece of skin was
divided, one piece going to DR.. Lederle and
the other to the defendants chemist for
chemical analysis.
Strenuous objection to the introduction of
expert testimony in the case was made by
counsel for the defense when the prosecu-
tion brought forward Police Surgeon
Charles Phelps as an expert OF pistol shot
wounds. Justice Davis, however overruled
the objection and the examination of the
witness was allowed to proceed.
DIR. Phelps said that in his own opinion,
based upon an examination of Young's
bodys3he fatal shot was fred from the d.
rection of left to right, and that the pisf61
was held from three to five Inches from the
body when the shot was fred. 'H certainly
was more than three inches.' the witness
said.

THE CHADWICK SECURITIES.
Grand Jury at Cleveland Continues Its
Investigation.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 13.-The
total amount of securities deposited by
Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick with the Wade
Park Bank has been found to approximate
S2S. .GO0,00 The highest estimate placed
on them heretofore has been $15, ,0O0, 900.
Herbert w. Bell, who was appointed re-
ceiver for Mrs. Chadwick by the common
pleas court, created excitement here this
morning when he announced that he had
found the securities that had been deposited
with the Wade Park Bank to aggregate
S2a, 10000, or nearly double the amount
originally supposed Mr.. Bell made this an
nouncement before entering the grand jury
room to testify to the nature of the papers
in his possession.

Prosecutor Keeler and the members of the

that he had overeStimated the amount by
S1024GO00. the face of the trust agreement.
among the papers, neither of them being
marked as duplicate, and he had consid-
cred them as separate documents. 1t was
the opinion of both the receiver and prose-
cutting attorney that the second trust agree
ment was intended to be a copy and not a
distinct asset in itself The amount of Sc
curites is therefore the same as previously
published,
Yesterdays investigation by the county
grand jury into the affairs of Mrs Chad
wick resumed today County Prose-
cutor keeler was not positive in his state
ments, but he intimated that it was en-
tirely possible that further indictments
might be found before the grand jury ad-
journs. A third indictment against Mrs.
Chadwick in connection with the Carnegie
note of $5,000,00O. which was among the
securities left by her with the Wade Park
Bank, was said by Mr.. Keeler to be among
the probabilities He declared also that he
proposed to direct. the days investigation
toward an eastern attorney who had been
acquainted with some of Mrs Chadwick s
transactions.
Mr.. Keeler would not admit that he ex-
pected an indictment in this case, but in
sisted that he proposed to direct a SEARCH
ing inquiry. and ask for an Indictment If
the evidence brought out should warrant
him in doing So. He said. however that
the Investigations would relate strictly to
the Carnegie notes and would hardly cover
anything outside of them. The only wit
nesses that had been summoned when the
jury convened were Iri Reynolds and Her
bert w. Bell, the former being the first
witness.
After Mr. Reynolds had been before
the jury for more than an hour tbe
inquiry was concluded Prosecutor Keeler
would not say what if any further evidence
was submitted which would result in anv
more indictments. He said the case would
for the present be shifted to the federal au-
thorities for action. No further indictments
are expected by the county grand Jury for
the present.

QUESTION OF RATES
MR.. ELKINs' BILL FOR COURTS OF
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

Senator Elkins. chairman of the Senate
committee on interstate commerce. has sent
to Attorney General Moody copy of a bill
introduced several years ago providing for
a court of interstate commerce. Senator
Elkins has asked Mr.. Moody for an opinion
on some of the provisions of the bill. Speak
ing to Star reporter today of the sugges-
ton in the Presidents message that power
to regulate railroad rates should be con-
ferred on the interstate commerce commits
sion, the senator said:
Il do not know what can be done at this
session, as the matter has not been can
vassed by the interstate commerce COM
mission, and 1 have not spoken to many
senators on. the subject. 1 think the time
has arrived for some action. The President
was right in mentioning the subject with SO
much emphasis in his message. The ques-
tion is so important and the interests in
volved so vast that the subject will require
the most careful consideration in order that
the right method of settling 1t satisfactorily
may be adopted
Speaking for himself, the senator said he
had studied the subject for the last four or
five years and had come to the conclusion
that the power to review-the question of
rates and all other interstate commerce
questions should be vested and lodged in
some tribunal that the raj lroads and people
alike would respect, and there should be
merce in each judicial circuit of the United
States. to be composed of nine judges, to
have original and exclusive Jurisdiction in
their respective circuits of all cases. Grim
inal or civil, arising under the various acts
Of Congress relating to Interstate COM
merce something after the method adopted
by the English government, which, after
struggling for years with the question,
finally left it to the courts"
He said further that he thought that "a
circuit court of the kind named, judges ap-
pointed for life, with good salaries, giving
their minds and attention to just one SUBJ
ject, to wit. all questions arising under the
laws affecting interstate commerce. or laws
regulating commerce on sea or land. would
be the wisest and best solution of this ques-
ton. Besides, judges located in the nine
circuits could and would better understand
the rights and interests of localities In a
way that would enable this court to settle
all these questions wisely
Senator Elkins said he did not know
whether this solution of the question would
meet with favor or not but that 1t was his
opinion after giving the subject careful con-
sideration that the people wuhld not be sat
isfied. nor would the railroads.. with con-
ferring this power upon any other tribunal
than the one mentioned: that the present
commission remain constituted. where 1t
is doing and can do effective service.

NEW YORK. December 13.--Mrs. Chad
wick was in cheerful spirits this morning
and talked somewhat freely in the Tombs.
She said that it is her positive determina-
ton to go back to Cleveland today, but be-
fore she made the formal announcement,
she would confer with her lawyer, Phillip
Carpenter.
Mrs. Chadwick did not appear in the least
disturbed at the outcome of the investiga-
ton in Ohio yesterday, and the handing
down of two indictments by the grand jury
of Cuyahoga county.
Lawyer Powers announced later, how
ever. that all intention OF securing bail for
Mrs. Chadwick had been abandoned in view
of yesterdays indictments In Ohio.
Mrs. Chadwick received several letters in
her morning mail. Among them We're sew
Gral from Cleveland, written apparently in
women'S handwriting.
AT the present time the attention of those
interested in the case Is directed toward
Pittsburg, where some interesting develop
ments are anticipated. 1t is more than
limited that if the full facts are ever known
1t will be found that some of the paper
negotiated by Mrs. Chadwick is lying in
the strong boxes of Pittsburg financial
men. 1t is possible that the missing $500, 600
note which President Beckwith said is
signed with the name of Mr.. Carnegie may
be brought to light in the Pennsylvania city.
