END OF MURDER TRIAL
In His Closing Argument the States Attorney Charged That Miss Patter- sons Testimony Had Been Type written and RehearSed.

New York, Dec. 21.-Judge Vernon M. Davis did not deliver his charge 70 the jury in the trial of Nan Patterson, the former actress, tonight, but sent the jury home to rest after a day spent in listening to the arguments of counsel. It had been expected that the case would go to the jury before o'clock, but Judge Davis put his charge over until tomorrow.
 |. Abraham Levy, the chief counsel for The defendant, occupied the time of the morning session with his argu- ment, and Assistant District Attorney Rand took up the afternoon with his speech. Both addresses were iElpas- stoned and eloquent. MT. Levy swayed his listeners to tears at times by his reference to his client and her homecoming in Washington, which he anticipated. Placing a Bible on the railing in front of the jurors, MT. Levy read the eighth chapter of the gospel of St. John. He laid particular em- phaSis on this sentence: He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone" and then he said TO the jurors: ''Will you say to her who sits before you here, in the words of Him who spoke at that time, Woman, go and sin no more With the happi- ness of your own home before you and with the joy of Christmas festival an- ticipation, are you going to condemn this young woman?
 Do not send her to her doom now, when the entire world is rejoicing She sits abandoned by all except that old man. her aged father. I,leave you i in her hands, confident that you will T .-.- voted old father 2 the time when ey- erything prcciaims peace on earth, good will to men. I ask that you allow her to take him home to the aged wife and mother who awaits them and give her chance to live a new life with them in her home"
 MT. Rands argument was a severe arraignment of Miss Patterson, and when the prosecutor pitilessly con- demned the woman as the murderer of Boolzmaker Caesar Young she quaiIed under his inYective
 Actress, stony hearted, cruel masked avenger that she is. the story she told. her manner of telling it.. ought not to be convincing to a child. Every action proclaims her guilt. I have never seen a real murderer who has not been distinguished by cool ness, calmness and unruff1ed demeanor and conceit. Never was there a mur- | derer but who was anxious to testify. | believing his story would prove con- Vincing to the jury thundered the prosecutor.
 In detail he held up her character to the jury, and asked if a woman like her was able to have any love other than that of a beast. ''The beast in the woman called to the man, and the 1 beast in the man answered. he said.
 Miss Patterson's counsel was not spared by Mir. Rand, who, after saving that the defendants testimony had been typewriter and learned by heart. 1 added: There are those among her defenders who are capable of prepar- ing testimony which they know to be false l name no names, but I stand ready to prcve what say if there is any question raiseI on that state ment."

The skeleton which had ! already appeared during the trial was brought forward, and the attorney went over the details of the entrance | VI tiie Dullel dilQ Ine QlfecIlOn It took | after entering Young's body. During this recital Miss Patterson covered her face with her glove in her hands MT. Rand used the revolver with which | Young was killed to prove that in no position could it have been held by Young to infiict the wound that caused his death.
 After MT. Rand's speech, MT. Levy said: 'That was the most wonderful advocacy of any cause, the most mas terful speech that have ever heard in a criminal case in the courts in twenty-ffve years. In spite of that, I am confident Miss Patterson will be acquitted"
