NAN PATTERSON IN
 COURT AGAIN TO-DAY
Story that Morgan Smith Had Been Arrested is Not Irue-Ihe Prosecution Has Evidently Built Up Strong Case and Every Loop Hole Has Been Care-s fullyGuarded.

New York, Nov 26.-After a respite giving honday, the lrlal Of Nan Fat LersOn LOT tne murder or Caesar Young was continued to-aay The attorney $ III the case took advantage or the ill., termlsslon to artempr to bring closer together the nlaIerlal polnLs upon winch depends the success or failure Of their case. One of the stones which galned wide circuIation during the ill lervaI ana winch, If true, uiluouDtedIy would have added materially to tLsi sensational side of the lrlaI, was to the erect that J. Morgan smith, Nal. Fatterson's TOther-ln-law, wnO ned aitershe had been subpoenaed to ap- pear belore the grand Jury, had been round and was locked up at police headquarters. This report was later denied by the police, however. Ths prosecution has kept up an unreInit, ting search for smith ever since he disappeared. They charge that it was SmiIn who purchased the revolver With which Young was shot, aud that he would prove 10 be their strongest witness ii fne could be found. Already Smiths photograph has been intro duced in the case and identified, and the prosecution has promised that the pawnDr0Ker who sold tue revolver will also identify the photograph as that of the man who purchased the weapon.
 Probably never before in the history of murder trial in this city was there organized by the district attof neys 0tnce what might well be called flying squadron of detectives. As sistant District Attorney Rand has en- listed in his service county detectives,
 
 10 flying squadron in naval combat.
 This band is stationed at the en- trance Of the court room to ofaccept at a moments notice an order to sally from the building and investigate the character and standing of a new wit ness for the defense.
 e Those in charge of the peoples case may strive to discredit the testimony of numerous eye witnesses the de fendant's counsel promise to call to ,the stand Mir Rand asserts that some of the witnesses before they went to the officesof Abraham Levy and yolun- teered their services for Miss Platter son, called on him and declared that they had seen the shooting and that the actress held the weapon in her hand.
 < at that time, he says, these stories were considered hysterical and the prosecution cast the offers aside. Late ly, however, so many eye witnesses nave come forward; says Mr Rand, that it became necessary to take some steps to rebut their testimony and the special detail of detectives has been assigned to investi gate the stories of. ihe witnesses as quickly as their iden- tity is disclosed.
 All of the testimony thus far pro duced has been leading up to what the prosecution declares was the, mo- tive for the crime, and with the. be- ginning of to-day's session it was ex. pected that ' MT Rand would begin to ttlnfold the: important feature of his case. K I . , s
 An interesting report turned llp to day to the effect that the defense hopes to be able to, show that neither Miss Patterson nor J. Morgan smith, her brother law, could have pur- chased the revolver with which Youns was shot. This will be attacking the prosecutions evidence in one of it's strongest spots. The cashing of a bet on a horse race on the afternoon of the day before Young was shot may be relied upon, 1t is said, to show that neither of them could possibly have bought the pistol. MT Levy is quoted $ saving that he has evidence that at the time a tall man, with woman, bought the revolver, Miss Patterson was cheering the victory of a race horse. upon which she had staked $1O, anI that Smith was theret in her com l1any at the track
