NEW WITNESS A WOMAN

NEW YORK, November 25.-A new and
important Witness whose identity thus far
has been carefully concealed, will be
brought forward by the prosecution in the
trial of Nan Patterson for the murder Of
Caesar Young, according to a story which
gained considerable circulation around the
criminal court building today.
Beyond the statement that the witness is
a woman that she is young and that she
was well acquainted with both Caesar
Young and the woman now on trial, the
report was indefinite. OF the nature of the
disclosure which the witness is expected
to make nothing could be learned. That
the testimony is considered Of great inn
portance by the prosecution. however,
seems apparent According to the report,
the woman is constantly under the guard
of county detectives.
The calling of this mysterious woman 20
the witness chair is said to be only one of
the many startling features of Assistant
District Attorney Rands case.
Almost of the same Importance to the
strength of his chain of evidence are sew
eral documents he has obtained possession
of since Mss Patterson has been prisoner
in the Tombs.
Certain Important Letters.
It has been claimed since the arrest of
the young woman that Ihe prosecutor had
secured possession of l9tters which, 1t Is
alleged show that the defendant made
threats against the life of Young, but the
documents which, 1t is said. will be pro-
duced as a complete surprise, are of diff
1erent character.
Miss Patterson's father. who called at the
Tombs during the forenoon, said that his
daughters mail every day contains several
offers of marriage.
These, he said, '.ale mostly from farm
ers, who have readsof the case in the papers
and, with the morbid interest which is so
common think that she is the affinity chos-
en- for them"
He then produced a letter from man
who, ne said. was employed by the board OF
health in Washington.
This letter affects m more than you can
believe he said.t 'T..Ss pan and myself
have been enemies for Years and have never
spoken, but, he writes me, now that my
daughter and myself are in trouble, he
wishes to forget the past, and offers to
help me in any way in bis power"
