story told by man" Patterson to
ice Captain Sweeney:
Mr.. Young and have been friends
for more than two years. l loved him
i'm spite of the fact that he was mar
ried. believe he loved me more, than
any one else and we hoped that some
time fate might be good to us. 1 met
him to-day upon response to a tele-
phone message. He was in the best
of health and spirits, though he COM
planned bitterly because he had to go
to Europe and leave me. He said he
would be gone several months, but
promised to be back before the end of
summer.
I'VE walked through Fifty-ninth
street, Mr.. Young having asked me to
ride with him to the pier. Before we
reached the cab we passed saloon
and waited outside while Mr.. Young
went in and got drink. He said that
he needed a 'bracer.
During our ride down Fifth avenue
we talked about the trip and his fu-
ture plans. We stopped at Twenty
third street and Mr.. Young purchased
a new hat in one of the stores in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Then we drove
on and the only other stop that was
made was when we were nearing the
pier and Mr.. Young decided to have
another drink. I waited in the cab.
Being again seated in the cab, Mr..
Young said: We may never see each
other again. 1 started to remon-
strate, when there was the report of a
revolver.
<~i~
port was muff1ed. thought Mr.. Young
had shot himself or had attempted to
shoot me, keeping the revolver in his
pocket After the report he sank for
ward and his head dropped into my
lap. reached for the revolver and
finally found it in his pocket-in his
right-hand pocket, 1 believe. 1 took
1t out and thrust it back into the
pocket. If he did not shoot, as L
thought, he must have put the re-
volver back into his pocket after
wounding himself. 1t seems strange
that he could do that, but the entire
thing is terribly strange and 1, do not
know what happened"
UNDER THE WOMAN'S SPELL.
Other statements were made by Mrs.
PATTERSON DeIore the udy was over, and
though she added to what she told
Captain Sweeney, going back over her
life with Young, she never changed in
any other particular the story she told
Immediately after her arrest.
District Attorney Jeromes office was
communicated with by Captain Swee-
ney and by Coroner Brown. Assistant
District Attorney Cans was detailed on
the case and Immediately an,investiga-

ton was begun to determine whether
murder.
That Young was infatuated with
Man" Patterson there can be no
Withstand her Establishments He was
more than generous in his dealings
with her. At times his infatuation
became so intense that he was crazed
Twice he was taken care of by his
friends until his wife could reach him.
Mrs. Young seemed to have an infiu-
ence upon him when she was with him
that was even greater than that ex-
erted by Nan" Patterson. So it may
be that he shot himself while tempo
rarily insane, as a few of his friends
believe.
All who have been on terms of inti-
macy with Caesar" Young assert he
was never known to carry a revolver
and they ask why he should have arm
ed himself when about to begin for
eign trip. Mrs. Young said she got
ready her husbands clothing this
morning and is certain he had no re-
volver. If he had intended to shoot
himself, friends say, he would not have
stopped to purchase a hat When his
clothing was searched in the Hudson
Street Hospital a roll of bills contain
ing $500 was found. 1t is argued that
had he been intent upon self destruc-
ton he would have given the money
to his wife or to Mrs. Patterson.
COURSE OF THE BULLET.
Entering his left breast the bullet
which killed him passed between the
first and second ribs, ranged back
ward and slightly downward, cut
through his left lung and finally
lodged in his back, after severing the
fourth spinal vertebrae. His friends,
the police and Assistant District Attor-
ney Cans, say 1t would have been diff
f1cult, though not impossible, for a
wound such as this to have been in
nicted upon himself by Mr. Young.
They also point to the fact that Mrs
Patterson says the revolver was fired
from Young's pocket. That was not
done. Powder marks on the coat show
where the bullet cut through the gar
ment, but there are no powder marks
on the coat pocket. 1t would seem to
have been impossible for Young to
place the revolver where Mrs. Patter-
son says she found It, The shock of
the wound was paralyzing. Had he
held the revolver when it was fired 1t
must have dropped from his hand. At
least that is the. supposition Of Cap
tain Sweeney.
Captain Langham OF the Detective
Bureau, who has taken charge of the
investigation, has been told of a num-
Der of threatening letters received by
Young and believed to have been sent
by a woman. In those letters Young
was told that if he attempted to leave
New York he would be shot.
Upon examination at police head
quarters no stains or powder marks
were found on Nam Patterson's
hands. Stains were found on Young's
hands, believed to have been made by
powder. A microscopic test will be
made.
At the police station Mrs. Patterson
wept Historically and kissed a postal
card she said Young had given her in
the cab, telling where to address let
ters to him in Europe. On the reverse
side was her sisters New York address.
After Mrs. Patterson had been COM
mitted to the Tombs without bail her
attorney told different story. He said
the card was written by Young before

Nan" Patterson, an actress with
whom Young was infatuated, but TO es-
cape whose society it is alleged he was
about to go abroad. was in the cab
with him when he was shot. She says
the wound which caused Youngs death
was inflicted by himself, but the police
and the District Attorney are not con-
vinced that she has told the truth. She
is now in the Tombs, Coroner Brown
having held her without bail pending
an examination, which will begin at
noon on Monday. In all probability
she will be charged with the murder of
Young.
Mrs. Young, who is beautiful and
talented woman and who has been
credited by her husband with having
lifted him from a position of poverty
to one of affluence, is at the home of
one Of her sisters in Harlem, heart
broken and in a state of complete ply
sical collapse. Physicians say her rea-
son is in no danger of being shattered,
but that there is extreme danger of her
death from nervous and physical ex-
haustion. She knew of her husband s
infatuation for the woman who was
to destroy this infatuation that she had
persuaded him to go with her to Eu-
rope. She refuses to believe that Young
committed suicide and continues to call
for justice upon his slayer.
THEORIES ARE CONFLICTING.
Those who have known Caesar"
Young in the East are inclined to be-
p eha 1T
fering from a fit of temporary insan-
ity But his relatives and his most
intimate friends scout the suicide
theory and insist that the Patterson
woman be charged with his murder.
John D. Millin, the life long friend and
business partner of Young, met Nan"
Patterson at the office of Coroner
Brown. this afternoon and denounced
her as a murderess. Millin could not
restrain his anger, remembering the at
tempts he had made 70 keep Young
from the woman, and had he not been
restrained he would have struck her
down where she stood quailing under
the bitterness of his words. She cried
for protection and later, when sent to
the Tombs though she shuddered, she
appeared to be relieved at being GER
tain Of at least temporary escape from
Millin's fury.
Everything was in readiness to-day
for the departure Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Young for Europe. The tickets had
been purchased and most or their bag
gage was already aboard the Ger
manic. Young spoke to his friends
about the trip, saying he expected to
enjoy himself and adding that he
would be glad to get away from the
Patterson woman.
Young left home early this morning,
telling his wife he wished to buy a hat
and settle a few small bills and prom
ising to meet her on the pier. OF his
later movements nothing is known
save that told by Nan" Patterson. She
has been stopping with ner sister and
brother-in-law. Mr.. and Mrs. J. Nor
gan Smith, at the st. Paul Hotel. Her
sister early this morning told her that
Young had telephoned to her to meet
him on the Fifty-ninth street platform
of the Sixth avenue elevated.
She dressed herself hurriedly and met
Young. Together they went to Eighth
avenue and Fifty-ninth street and
there took cab.
