der-It Is Believed She Will &c Re-
leased on Small Bail.
New York. May 5.-Dramatic in the
extreme were the closing scenes early
today, Of the Nan Patterson trial be-
fore Recorder Golf on the charge or
having murdered FRANK I. Young, the
well known turfman and bOokmaker in
a cab last June.
When the foreman had finally as
sured the court that there was no pos
sibility OF reaching an agreement, the
prisoner was in dead faint AT Z:ZS
O'Clock, the recorder declared the jury
discharged and ordered Miss PatteT son
returned 10 the Tombs prison. She
was carried out in a chair by several
attendants and two doctors had hard
time restoring consciousness.
When told of the decision she
smiled family. IN the streets below
thousands of persons, held by mounted
police, cheered the news, but We're
somewhat disappointed. They evil

Various runors gained currency a.
to how the jury stood Information
received by the Associated Press is
that the poll stood I TO ) n favor OF
acquittal.
It IS quite certain that the former
show girl will be given her li5erty on
a nominal bail, and that the indictment
will be quashed. She had faced tria!
three times-twice the jury disagreed
and once there was a mistrial owing
to the collapse Of a juror.
In the court annals OF this city moth
ing has yet approached the tensity OF
the climax in the Patterson case.
When Recorder Golf was summoned
to court 500 natter l o'clock the room
was filed with spectators, two. of
whom were women. Only those pos
sessing permits were allowed to enter,
but the streets surrounding the Tombs
and court house were many awaiting
the outcome.
For moment the recorder did not
notice the nOn-arrivaI of the defendant
and was about 10 call on the foreman
for the verdict. Informed that the
prisoner was III Recorder Golf de-
clared the court could not proceed;
that she must be present The min
uJes dragged slowly by.
Miss Patterson appeared at length,
leaning heavily on the arm cf an Al
tendant She showed more strength
than even Fer attorneys had hoped tor.
In crossing the 'bri5g= &c s-slls'' she
had heard The shouts OF TIE watch
ers be-ow and seeMine.y every voice
was aJCuned n her favor. Cpon reach
ing the deck she s-asysd The railing
for support, anu gazed dxedly at The
jury. When they announced their
failure 70 agree and was sent back 10
further consultation, she collapsed and
had 70 be carried from the room.
At 2:15 o'clock the same scenes
were enacted. Miss Patterson was
then in a state bordering on collapse
She t-embled like a leaf when the jury
fled IN the second tine and when the
foreman finally made a personal poll

the final curtain fell. strong court at
tendants lifted the chair IN which the
unconscious woman sat and carried il
away to the hospital ward of the pris-
on. Physicians were hurrierly sum
mOned but she could not be revived
by ordinary methods. The prisoners
aged father clasped her in his arms
chafed her cheeks and called her name
repeatedly but she did not utter a
word.
Finally, after nearly twenty minutes
she became semi-consriOus and 20
minutes later was able to speak.
In the meantime there was q great
clamor among the other prisoners 70
learn the verdict adding an unusual
touch to one OF the most remarkable
nights in the history of the Tombs.
The outside crowd melted slowly
away and an hour after the jury was
discharged the neighborhood had re-
sumed its normal Quietness.
Abraham Levy, counsel for Miss Pat
tfrson said today:
81 will apply for Nan Patterson to
be admitted TO nominal bail at once.
The disagreement is equal to an ac-
quital, so far as her liberty is concern
ed. Il may be that the district attor-
ney will apply to have her admitted to
have her admitted 70 bail. II he does
not then shall take the steps. She
will never be placed on trial again.
