Later another attempt to enter the
house was made by two detectives. A

WILL SURRENDER
Nan Patterson's Brother
in-Law Will Go to Court
Monday.

New York, June 11.-Counsel for
Nan Patterson has informed repre-
sentative Of the district attorney, and
also the detectives who have been
searching for him, that ]. Morgan
Smith, brother-in-law OF the woman
who is held pending investigation INTO
the death Of Bookmaker Frank T..
Young last Saturday, will be surren-
dered next Monday.
At the same time assurances were
given that Smith will then appear be-
fore the grand jury to purge himself
OF the contempt of court which he
committed when he failed to answer a
subpoena.
Smith is now outside the state, and
Is safe from arrest on the warrant or
attachment issued last Thursday by
Judge Newburger, but it had been the
intention OF the district attorney 30
have him arrested on another charge
aud brought back to this city. The
promise to surrender him probably
will cause District Attorney Jerome
TO abandon that plan. though the po-
lice will continue the search for the
missing witness.
Captain Sweeney, in whose district
the shooting occurred. believes no
great difficulty will be experienced In
persuading Smith to tell all he knows
about the death OF Young and the
causes leading up to it. There are
reports, which as yet are unconfrmed,
that the attitude of the defense will
change next week. and that an expla-
nation of the tragedy of the cab will
be offered by the woman who was
Young's companion when he was shot.
