ALEXANDRIA NEWS NOTES.

ALEXANDRIA. April ga Horace
strother, stxteen-year-old coIored boy,
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the heart, about O'Clock last
night. It is said the boy had been de
spondent lately. and that some OF bis
friends had Jokngly told him he WAS
going to be lYnehed. He pondered over
their words and last night. taking a
pistol, shot himself.
DR.. ". r. PurNis was summoned bat
the boy died despite all that medical
aid could do for him. Coroner Purvis,
after hearing the facts in the case, de-
cided that no inquest would be neces-
sary. The boy had lately removed to
this city from Herndon. TO which place
his remains VIII today be sent.
The Washington times., 1905-04-29

bearing on the case The articles were
pledged on October 5 and 20, 1904, more
than four months after the shooting.
He laughs at the idea that the pawn
tickets bearing these dates were re-
newal tickets. Everybody knows that
tickets are renewed at the end of a
year" was the manner in which he
dismissed this subject.
Promise of Marriage.
The point drawn from Mrs Smith, that
Young had promised to marry Nan. on
which the prosecution win dwell, really
is in favor of his client. Mr.. Levy says.
The evidence of her sister shows that
Nan has been painted blacker than she
really was, and that her relations with
Young were based on the promise of
marriage.
Taken as q whole the evidence, Mr..
Levy asserts. is weaker than at the for
mer trial. The testimony addueed by
the prosecution. he believes, is stronger
in favor OF the contention that Young
killed himself than that Nan fired the
fatal shot.
mo one will believe that Nan Patter-
son would kill man who had agreed
TO take care of her and supply her lib
orally with money during his absence. =
said Mr.. Levy, in summing up the mat
ter.
But while Mans attorneys profess to
be confident of the outcome, the young
woman herself Is not so sanguine. The
lard blows dealt her cause yesterday
by Mr. Rand have unnerved the fair
defendant. The arguments of her at
torneys do not offer much consolation to
Nan. In view of what she experienced
during the closing moments of the hear
sng, and their words have failed to re-
essure her.
