The enemy succeeded in blowing up
the parapet of one of the forts and

WANTS TO TELL.
Nan Patterson liz Anxious to Go

To Give Her Own Story Of the
Shooting of Young.

New York, Dec. 19.-Counsel for Nan
Patterson announced before the OPEN
ing of court today that after a confer
ence if they decided to put in a de-
Tense they would, through witnesses
and through the defendants own testi-
Imony, prove that she did not kill and
did not plan to kill Caesar Young, as
has been the contention of Assistant
District Attorney Rand.
Witnesses may be called, they said, to
swear that they heard Caesar Young
telephone to Miss Patterson on the
morning of the shooting asking her to
meet him before he sailed for Europe.
They also declare they will be able to
prove that she could not have premedi-
tated murder 16 hours before the shoot
ing as was argued by Mr.. Rand, as she
did not know she would see Young on
the morning before he sailed. 1t was
also said that in the event Of counsel
deciding to put in a defense it was quite
allowed to take the stand and tell her
own story of the fatal ride with the
bookrnaker Miss Patterson has de-
clared that she is not only willing but
anxious to tell her story to the jury.
There is much I can tell the jury
that they could learn from no other
source she is quoted as saying, land

cry one of them will vote to set me

Nan Patterson is so confident of ac-
quittaI that she said today that she had
spent her last Sunday in the Tombs.
She added that she would be in her
fathers home in Washington before an
other Sunday comes.

not definitely known, although it is
evident that numerous torpedoes took
effect.
