HOPES GONE.
There Were No Hopes for Nan to
Spend Xmas at Home.

New -ork. Dec. 26.-Nan Patterson's
last hope of spending Christmas with her
parents at their home in Washington VAN
shed Saturday. when District ATTORNEY
Jerome announced that he would not
agree to reduction of her bail. This
was taken to mean that the show-Sirl
will again be tried on the charge of the
previously been fixed at 10000.
When the district attorney made his an
nouacement. Daniel O'Reilly of counsel
for Miss Patterson, said:
This surely means that there will be
new trial. We shall make every effort
TO nave IL calied as soon as possible.
Afterwards he said that counsel had
decided not to attempt to get any bail
unless the district attorney fails to prom
Use a speedy trial. Counsel. he said. be-
lieved the safest place for Miss Patter-
son was in the TombS. as she had been
there long.
The urgency for a new trial On the
part of the defence was due, Mr.. o Reilly
said. to The tact that the defence has
important evidence. Part of this he said
was the finding of some 32-calibre bullets
in foung's trunk. Mr.. O'Reilly said that
Prosecutor Rand admitted the finding of
the bullets but contended that they be
longed to Mrs. Young.
The news that she could not be admit ed
to hail was broken to Miss Patterson as
gently as possible but she broke down
completely after making brave show of
chtertulneSS all day.
t>en though she knew she would have
70 remain in the TombS over Christmas
she had hoped she might be released on
bail this week.
District Attorney Jerome announced
late yesterday. that proceedings for "a new
trial Will be hurried as fast rs possible.

upon the recommendation of District
Attorney jerome. WHO personally APP
peared before Judge Cowing. in his
chambers. Saturday. and asked that
Dodge be discharged on his own rec
ognizance.
The much sought-after man owes his
liberation to the fact that he has made
/ complete confession as to the parts
played by the various actors in what
mas been termed a great conspiracy.
Dodge was accused of committee
perjury in testifying that service was
not made upon him in the suit by which
divorce was secured from him by his
former wife. who was subsequently
married to Morse. After DOdge's tes-
timony. now alleged to have been per-
jured, the marriage of the woman with
Morse was annulled, and this annul-
ment was later. on the allegation of the
perjury, set aside.
Dodge fled to Texas. was arrested at
Houston after long chase and after
much delay brought back to New York.
Dodge has told all that Lawyer \.
Il. Hummel of Howe & Hummel had to
10 with his part of the case. He has
told who has furnished the large sums
of money. amounting to more than
500. 600. He has kept nothing back.
He expressed his Willingness to go be-
rore the grand jury and give testimony
Of all he knows.
When the case is to be submitted to
the grand jury is not known. The De-
cember grand jury will not meet again
before Wednesday. Thursday there
will be another sitting of that body.
In case District Attorney Jerome
should find the December grand jury
would not have time enough to hear
i'll the evidence of this alleged con-
,piracy. he will submit his evidence to
he January grand jury.
Prompt indictments are expected to
ollow. Dodge has been given TO UNDER
stand that while the district attorney
@nnOt. with propricty go on record as
'ffering him absolute inirunity vet he
certified. he shall not suffer.

does not wish to draw salary both
rom the nation and the state. and.

sons advanced, Mr.. Douglas has decid-
ed not to detail Gen. Miles to act as
idjutant general. but to have him eX.
