widow of Caesar Young, was a wit
ness today in The Criminal branch Of
the Supreme Court, where Nan Pat
terson is on trial before Justice Yer
non NJ. Davie, charged with Young'a
murder. Although she was on the
stand only long enough to identify a
letter 70 "Iliicn another witness had
referred, Mrs Young's presence there
developed one of the most intense
situations of the trial. AS the wife
of the dead man took the stand, Miss
Patterson became deathly pale, but
watched intently every movement OF
the witness during her brief examina-
ton.
The letter which Mrs. Young
identified. had been produced by
Bernard l.. Mexican one of Young's
brothers-in-law, who testified that
Young had mentioned ii in n conter-
sation with Miss Patterson early in
May, and that Miss Patterson had
said the letter was written by her
sister Mrs. j. Morgan Smith.
The letter has not yet been read in
evidence.
Another Of Xoung's brothers-in-law,
William Luce. told of what occurred

man quarreied there. Luce heard
Young tell her he would get her

away and she replied that nc was not
going. She also said: Don't get
un early and go aboard the boat, be-
ca3,sc YOU cannot hide from me. even
If you get into the hold. You won't
go away.
Young was excited and the woman
was crying. After the talk Young
put Nan Patterson III a cab and sent
her off alone. Luce said he neither

St Petersburg. Dec. 14.-The gen.
eral staff apparently is entirely salts
fed with the military situation in
Manchuria being convinced that the
Japanese have reached their high tide.
A high officer said to the Associated
Press to-day:
THE Japanese army is unique n
military history ana probably the
strongest in the world. combining the
strength of barbarism with civiliza-
ton, drawing from the former faaatI-
cal bravery and scorn of death ana
the latter the latest knowledge of the
science of war. We have been fighting
them under heavy handicaps but have
at last definitely stopped them. They
have missed the PSYCHOLOGICAL moment.
They are not strong enough to attempt
to turn Mukden now and will not be
even if Port Arthur falls and $4,000
achievements are sent UP to join
Field Marshal Oyama In the mean
time Russian troops are Diling Sp be-
hind Mukden. In February. before
Port of New Chwang is ice-free. Cen
eral Kuropatkin will have close upon
half a million men disposed in three
armies. amply sufficient to turn Oy-
iama's position at the Shakhe river and
force the Japanese back into Korea
and the Lao Tung peninsula.
