 Only Two More Witnesses.
 If the prosecutor follows the course | of the previous trial, as has been done
 up to this point. the only important
 witnesses remaining to be examined | are Mrs. Young, the widow of the dead
 bookmaker, and John Milton, his rac- | ing partner. It Is probable, however, 1 that the letters seize0 when the Smiths
 were arrested in Cincinnati, which did
 not appear at the last trial, will be put | in evidence. What these letters con l tain is not known to the public, but it
 is said that among them are several l letters written by Nan Patterson to
 her sister after the flight of the Smiths. l These letters are expected to throw 1 some light on the reason for the | Smiths hurried departure from this | city and their alleged determined ef- | forts to evade agents of the district attorney who were searching for them. An interesting overnight develop
 ment was the statement given out by | Mrs. Fannie Shapiros, in which she claims to have been within yard of l the cab when the shot was fired. and
 signifed her willingness to go on the l stand and swear that Young held the weapon which caused his death. Another Eye Witness New York, April 2T.-Another person l has come forward through the news
