NAN PATTERSON TRIAL
RULING RELATIVE TO SMITH CEN
TRIAL INTEREST TODAY.

NEW YORK December 14-Al1 infer
est in the Patterson murder trial TODAY
centered in the ruling which Justice Davis
announced that he would make at the
opening of court regarding .e admission
of testimony in the alleged conspiracy re-
ferred to by Assistant District Attorney
Rand yesterday. Upon this ruling de-
pended the question whether the prosecu-
tion would be permitted to attempt to
substantiate in the presence of the jury it's
allegation that ]. Morgan Smith was
spirited away from the jurisdiction of the
court by Miss Patterson's counsel and her
father.
This sensational charge, which had been
forecasted by rumor for several days, was
made yesterday afternoon. The jury had
heard none of the arguments between
counsel. The testimony by which Mr.
Rand asserts he will prove the plot to
wrong Young may be as sensational as the
charge of conspiracy itself.
Who Sold the Revolver.
So far it has only been hinted at in the
testimony of the newsboy, with a link
offered in the testimony of the pawn
broker, Hyman Stern, who sod the re-
volver with which Young was killed. These
links of evidence are very wide apart, and,
circumstances witnesses will have to be
called who have been kept in the back
ground since the district attorneys Office
has been building up its case.
Letters containing threats have been
spoken of by the prosecution as being
documents important to their theory, but
so far the name of Smith has not been
connected with these alleged threats.
When the trial was resumed today, and
before Justice Davis had an opportunity
to announce his decision on the alleged
conspiracy point, Assistant District At
torney Rand closed the incident by with
drawing his request that the grand jury
subpoena served on J. Morgan Smith be
admitted as evidence.
Mr. Rand said he was actuated in with
drawing his request by information which
satisfied him that the admissibility of the
subpoena was not free from doubt. At the
conclusion of Mr. Rand's statement. and
upon suggestion of attorney for the de-
fense Justice Davis directed the jury to
disregard all references made to the miss
ing witness.

arranged to have his bond in the sum OF
$1,000 furnished by the Fidelity and De-
posit Company of Maryland. The bond
was received here this afternoon and was
duly executed, thus placing Mr.. Dulany in
the full exercise of his duties as trustee.
Enters Upon His Duties.
During the past few days Mr. Dulany
has received many communications from
creditors or their attorneys regarding the
Waggaman matter, and he at once took
up this correspondence, which was his first
work as Waggaman trustee.
Referee Bradley in referring to Mr.. Du-
lany this afternoon expressed his pleas
ure at the appointment. lie SAID the new

edge of real estate matters, ana, addeo
