BY Associated Press.

New York, April 27.-While there

eyes were filed with tears. Nan, Pat
terson dropped her eyes before the
widows gaze and did not raise them
until the recess.
Mrs. Smith was another interesting
witness. She told of the expectations
Nan Patterson had of marrying Cae-
sar Young. She said that Miss Pat
terson had secured a divorce with the
same purpose in mind, and that the
arrangement with Young was post
poned because of influences brought TO
bear on Young by his, wife and part
ner.
J. D. MiIlen, Young's partner, was
another witness who told of the rela-
tions between Young and Nan Pat
terson. aeE Il

Caesar Young a moment before the

claims to have been within few fee;

from his seat. A second or two Later
she> heard a shot Several persons
ran towards the cab. ana being il

ried from the scene.
She made her way back home OF

who confirms the story. They decided

health she should keep the story secre

would come forward and decribe thu
