WOMAN is HELD.
Police Change Minds About
Death Of BOOkmaker Young.

New York, June frank Young,
known on the turf as Caesar Young,
bookmaker, horse owner and stockhold-
er in Pacific coast race tracks, was shot
and killed in a hanson cab today While
on mis- way to the White Star line pier
to join his wife, with whom he was to
have sailed for Europe. Mrs. Young
was waiting at the pier when news of
her husbands death reached her. At
first the death was reported as a sui
eide, but various circumstances caused
the police later to change their views.
With Young in the cab. when a police
man was called, was Mrs. Nan Patter-
son, formerly an actress whose stage
name was Nan Randolph" who is
said to have been of the original Flor
OdOra seXtette. She told the policeman
that Young had shot himself after an
nOuncing to her that he was about TO
go to Europe, to be gone probably for
several months. The policeman told
the coroner however that the revolver
was in the mans pocket and that he
did not believe Young could have put
1t there after shooting himself. Young
died about five minutes after the police
man first saw him. The woman was
taken to a police station where she col
lapSed. There was a reTnarka BILE scene
in the station when Young's partner,
man named Millin, called. He said
Young never carried a revolver and
that he did not believe the death was
due to a. self inflicted wound. Millln
said that Young who came here from
England, 10 to 10 years ago. poor man,
was worth more than half q million
dollars. Shortly after Millin made this
statement Mrs. Patterson was brought
in to be taken to the coroner's office.
Millin was leaning against the rail
when he saw her. He started at her
with a rush. She shrank back against
a detective. MilIin again rushed at
three detectives
bed him and held him until the woman
was out of sight. Millin shouted at
her as she left the station house. The
woman was taken to Coroner Browns
private office and closeted with him.
While there Millin appeared He tried
to break into the room and get at the
woman again, but was prevented. He
rallied the woman names and shouted
he would kill her if he had a weapon.
Mrs Patterson made a statement to
the coroner. She said she was niece
of the cashier of a leading New York
bank. Continuing, Mrs. Patterson said
she heard a muffled report directly
as Young had told her he was going
to leave her She said she did not see
any pistol. She said she believed he
shot himself with the pistol in his coat
pocket. 1t developed in Mrs. Patter-
sons statement to the coroner that on
her way down town Young stopped at
a hat store and bought new hat. The
bail in which Mrs. Patterson was held
was at first fixed at 81 600. she being
held as a witness. but this was later in
creased to IS. 600 by the coroner on the
request of the police officials. hlllln,
the partner of Young, insisted upon be-
ing connected with the case and was
held in 81 600 bail as a witness, which
he furnished at once.
Less than a month ago a New York
paper printed a page review of Young's
career under the title, THE Luck of
