Outlines Prosecution.
Assistant District Attorney Rand to-
day outlined the case of the prosecu-
ton. & - 800 -. :
It was, admitted, he said, that Young
killed himself or was killed by the
prisoner at the bar. The prosecution
Miss Patterson fired the fatal shot, but
that the act was one Of deliberation
and generalization. They would show
that the crime was planned for at least
thirteen hours, and that it was the con-
ceived day before the tragedy when
the pistol was bought. All this would
be proved by circumstantial evidence,
and the chain as presented by the prose-
cution would be SO strong that even If
the defense should put thousand men
on the stand and each said he saw the
man fire the shot, the jury would not
believe one of them. Continuing, Mr..
Rand said:

given $500 to leave him. I am com.
PEELED to show the relation that existed
between Young and this woman. This

face the truth, though we would fa1
