Mrs. Caesar Young, Widow of Book
 nahkers Faces PraHoners
 NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Young, widow of Caesar Young, wassa witness in the criminal branch of the supreme court, where Nan Patterson is on trial before Justice Vernon M. Davis charged with Young's murder. AL though she was on the stand only long enough to identify letter to which another witness had referred, Mrs. Young's presence there developed one of the most intense situations of the trial. As she took the stand Miss Pat terson became deathly pale, but watched intently every movement of the witness during her sbrief examina- tion.
 The letter which Mrs. Young identi- fled had been produced by Bernard L. McKean, one of Young's brothers-in- law, who testified that Young had men, toned it in a conversation with Miss Patterson early in May and that Miss Patterson had said the letter was writ ten by her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith.
 The letter has not yet been read in evidence. M
 Another of Young's brothers-in-law, William Luce, told of what occurred between Young and Miss Patterson at their meeting in saloon the night be- fore. Young was killed. Luce testified that the bookmaker was afraid the ac- tress would shoot him when it came to the time of parting.
