NAN PATTERSON is
BACK IN THE TOMBS
Release on Bail is Opposed by
Mr.. Jerome
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Killing of Turfman Young Is Involved
In MISREPRESENTATION May De-
pend on the Pistol
Found

New York, June 6.-Proeeedings were
begun today by Coroner Nicholas Brown
In an endeavor to solve the mystery sur
rounding the death of Frank T. Young,
the wealthy bookmaker. Young was shot
on Saturday last while on his way in a
cab to a steamship pier to sail for Eu-
rope with his wife. With him was Mrs.
Nan Patterson. formerly an actress whom
Young had known for several years. Mrs.
Patterson as held without bail by the
coroner and was locked up In the Tombs
prison.
The police at first believed that Young
had killed himself. but various circum-
stances caused them to change this opin-
ion and today the detectives in charge
of the investigation say the wound was
not self-inlicted.
The entire case may center about the
revolver with which Young was killed.
Six detectives have been at work on this
feature Of the case since Young's death
was first discovered. Friends of Young
say he never carried a revolver.
The Young hearing was postponed by
the coroner and Mrs. Patterson's bail was
fixed at s500O When the case was called
the district attorney asked for an adj
journment. This was opposed by Mrs.
Pattersons counsel, but after a long argu-
ment the coroner decided to put the case
off until Friday.
District Attorney Jerome later declared
he would oppose the release Of Mrs. Pat
terson on bail. He went to the office of
Coroner Brown and served notice that m
the event of bondsman in bail he would
WANT to be heard in opposition to its ac-
ceptanee. This is a case he said, in
which the coroner has no report to accept
bail. l shall oppose the release of this
woman no matter what amount of ball
is offered"
1t transpired this action was due to the
fact that Mr.. Jerome has in his possess
sion an affidavit of william Luce, a
brother-in-law of Young in which Luce
declares that on Friday evening Young
told him he was going out to see Mrs.
Patterson
HE asked me to go with him." the af-
fidavit says, Saying the little woman
has some letters which l must get from
her. I'm afraid of her and l don't know
cut what she might kill me. I'm through
with her, l intend to break it off to-
night
Luce went with him and met Mrs. Pat
terson and they remained together until
3 O'Clock Saturday morning.
Mrs. Patterson did not have the letters
with her, however. and according to
Luce 1t was for this reason that he
telephoned her to meet him on Satur-
day. asking her to bring the letters with
her.
Mrs. Patterson was taken back to the
tombs this afternoon.
On application Of counsel for Mrs. Pat
terson, Justice Clark Of the supreme court
this afternoon issued a writ of habeas
corpus requiring the production in court
of Mrs Patterson and also a writ of
certiorarie on Coroner Brown to make a
return of the record in the case. Both
writs are returnable tomorrow.

to make good shooting Is hundreds or
thousands OF miles away or in the neigh
borhood Of the shooting grounds.
1 believe the unusual contingencies of
shore bird shooting and the wider scope
they give for hope and expectation, to-
gether with the manifold conditions which
give abundant opportunity for self-con-
ceit in calculating probabilities, account
for Its quality of exceptional fascination.
The sportsman who persists is apt oc-
casionally to find a good number of birds
about the grounds; and when that hap
pens, IL he is adequately equipped with
especially If he is able TO call the birds
he will enjoy a variety of fine shooting
The initiated well understand the i'm
portance of the call, and they know that
the best caller will get the most birds
The notes of shore birds, though quite
dissmilar. are In most cases easily imi-
tated after a little practice and a simply
constructed contriyance which can be
purchased at almost any sporting goods
store will answer for all the game II
properly used. The birds are usually
heard before they are seen, and If their
notes are answered naturally and not too
vehemently or too often, they will soon
be seen within shooting range, whether
they are black breasted plover, chicken
ployer, yellow legs, piping plover, cur
lew sanderlings or grass birds. Of
course no decent hunter allows them to
alight before he shoots.
I would not advise the summer vaca-
ZIONIST who lacks the genuine sporting
spirit to pursue the shore bird. Those
who do so should not disgrace them
selves by killing the handsome little sand
pipers or peeps too small to eat. 1t is
