The deputy. warden carried with him eleven letters addressed to Miss Patterson. He left them at the room door and did not dis- turb either of the women. About tha time crowds began to gather in thU streets around the Tombs awaiting pose sible developments which might mako it necessary for Miss Patterson to 0nce more cross the bridge between the prison and the court building.
 Abraham Levy, counsel for Miss PNok terson, said to-day: T will apply f0p' Nan Patterson to be admitted to . nominal bail at once. The disagr9e ment is equal to an acquittaL as far tas her liberty is concerned. z It may b6 that the district attorney will apply to have her admitted to ball. If he does not, then shall take the steps. She. will never be placed on trial again. or this 1 am certain l am disappointed that she was not acquitted.''
 It was said at the district attoFnej'a offices today that the prosecution would not oppose the release of Nan Patterson on bail provided the sum was fixed at from 5000 to $2O.O00s

Ho hoped, he said. that the district att0re ney would agree to her admission to bail this afternoon but he had no official information to that effect.

Mir Leyy's associate counsel, said that Miss Pat. terson's condition was not alarming, < but the long wait for the jury had broken her down completely.
 Lawyer Levy went to the Tombs prison shortly before noon to have q conference with Miss Patterson, but he found her so prostrated that she was unable to talk with him. After shaking hands Mir Levy left the prison. Later bulletin was issued by Dr Mo Guire, the prison physician, saying that Miss Patterson was so weak that she could not lift cup of tea to her lips.
