cortlng to Her story-Homen Get Into
Court to See and Hear Her--The Eafi
Of suffolk Sits Beside the Judge.
In babyish voice that could not be
heard ten feet away, Nan Patterson told
yesterday the story Of the cab ride that
ended on the morning of June last with
the death of her companion, Bookmaker
Cesar Young. She didn't see the pistol,
she said, nor did she see him shoot himself.
She had told of her intimate relations with
Young, offering no excuse; Of the events
Of the night before. when he told her that
he was going to Europe and (as she saidD
asked her to follow him; OF his telephoning
to her that morning, and Of the cab ride
from the st. Paul Hotel, where she was
living, down to the saloon at West Broad
way and Bleecker street, where they stopped
and had drink. This Is her description
Of what happened after that:
SHE REFUSED TO FOLLOW HIN ABROAD.
Cesar said: Nan, I wouldn't have
made you get up 30 early this morning,
but | didn't feel positive that you were
going to come over Ito Europe.l He says:
I believe you're fooling me; are you?' I
did not make him any answer for little
while, and he laughed, and / asked him
why he should say that. He says: Are
you going?' l says: Well, Cesar, there
is no use to say that will go when ] really
do not want to. have made up my mind
not to. But you go over there, and get
things quieted until the folks will have
forgotten me about that time. ! will meet
you at the Saratoga meeting
SHOT FOLLOWS STRUGGLE IN THE CAB.
He looked at me for q little while and
did not say anything. Then he said: DO
you mean that, Nan?' and he grabbed me
by my hand nearest to him and pulled me
over toward him. He hurt me 80 that ]
tried to get away and / couldn't get away
from him, and put my other hand up and
grabbed away from him
Here Nan motioned with her hands and
leaned over with her body to show how
she struggled with Young. She continued

told him that he hurt me. He said: II
you don't come over there. and have to
wait until the Saratoga meeting, may see
you in three months, and may never sec
you again. My horses have gone back on
me- and I've lost all my money. Now.
! am losing my girl. Do you mean thatT
And he grabbed me with a great deal OF
force, hurting me terribly-so badly that
it made the tears come to my eyes.

and in doing so, had to pull away over,
and quick as flash. that was the end
sYou heard report?' asked Mr.. Levy.

WAS the pistol in your hand?'
SHE HAD NOT sRES THE PISTOL
Il had not seen the pistol. Mr.. Young
fell over On my lap; got half way up again,
and thought he was having a spasm or
something He kept twi,ching. and called
to him two or three times, and tried 10
make him answer and he would not say
anything at all. I knew then that some
thing serious had happened. ] believe
/ told the cabmen to drive to a drugstore
am not sure whether did or not, but I
know that was my idea. It seemed, oh,
ages, before I could get anybody TO pay any
attention or give me any aid at all. A
policeman jumped on the front OF the cab
and when I seen him knew something
had happened. felt 80 relieved and knew
that he would take care Of Mr.. Young no

Of myself and seemed TO be dazed.'

That concluded Mans examinstion. She
had told her story with dull, white, eI-
pr>ssionless face. from which looked cold,
blue eyes. Her voice WIS thin ana weak.
Not once did she show any sign Of emotion.
To-day she will be cross-exarnined by Mr..
Rand
Aside from her description OF Young's
death Mans principal testimony was that
she never knew Of the letter written by
her sister. Mrs, Julia Smith, to Young, in
which, the prosecution contends. there is
a warning to him against Nan. She denied
that she was with j. Morgan Smith on the
night before the shooting at Pabst's In
