E#sthe murder CT Caesar" Young, to-
sether with the statement by the
sgprosecutorS that the people would
show that y !. Morgan Smith, brother
#in-lawS OF the defendant, purchased
the rev Diver with which. the shooting
was done, indicates that the prosecu-
ton hopes to prove its case on, two
points. First, that Caesar Young,
when he left the house the morning
,5of the killing, did not have in his
possession a fire arm, and second,
81 hat the5reyo1Yer came into Miss Pat

states that he will produce wit
mess to- show that Smith was over
heard to say to the woman on the
night before the crime was commit

rs he dead? If hesis dead want to

Miss Patterson passed a sleepless
and restless night in the tombs. The
sscathing arraignnient of the prosecu-
tor and the sight of her lovers gar
ments with the bullet hole, stained
with his life blood, had been too much
for her nerves, and she collapsed
when she returned to her cell in the
stombs.

Gained herself and said

find nothing in it to hurt me-

at the gaze of the curious throng in |
the Court room. When she reached
her seat she turned and kissed her
father. She did lnot.raise her veil and
