TIE FATE OF NAN PATTERSON.
Jury VIII Soon Be Called Upon to De.
eide IL.

New York, May 3.-The fate of Nan
Patterson in her third trial for the
murder of Caesar Young will soon
be in the hands of the jury. Assistant
District Attorney Rand completed the
closing argument for the prosecution
shortly before p. m. Tuesday and the
court adjourned for the day
Recorder Golf announced that he
would charge the jury upon the open
ing of court in the morning. 1t is not
believed that his instructions will be
lengthy and probably before the noon
hour the jury will have retired to con-
slider verdict.
At the close OF the argument Tues.
day after Prosecutor Rand had arraign-
ed her in the most scathing terms, had
asserted that her silence in this trial
was confession of her guilt. had de-
clared that her sister had lied on the
stand and that her counsel had based
his plea for her life on a foundation of
fabrications, Nan Patterson said she
still felt confident the jury would bring
in an early verdict of acquittal.
"Mr. Rand is fine orator." she de.
clared, "but | know those twelve men
will not hang a girl on oratory."
Mr.. Rand consumed practically the
entire day. He devoted large part
of his speech to defense of himself
and his methods in the present trial.

CHAPTER XIV.
"HE ball to which Paul and Eta
were going was managed by
some titled ladies who knew
i their business well. The price
Of the tickets was fabulous. The sue
cess Of the ball was therefore fore
gone conclusion. In French fiction
there is invariably murmur of ap-
plause when the heroine enters room
full of people, but there was no ap-
plause when Paul and Eta made their
appearance. That lady had. neverthe-
less, the satisfaction Of perceiving
glances, not only Of admiration, but of
interest and even of disapproval,
among her own sex.
To Paul this ball was much like 9TH
ers. There were number of the
friends of his youthful, clean fea-
tured, clean limbed men, with tend
ency toward length and spareness-
who greeted him almost affectionately
Some of them introduced him to their
wives and sisters, which ladies duly
set him down as nice, but dull, a form
Of faint praise which failed to damn.
There were a number of ladies to
whom it was necessary for him to bow
in acknowledgment Of past favors
which had missed their mark.
And all the while Karl Stefnmetz
was storming in his cultural English
at the door, upbraiding hired walters
for their stupidity in accepting two
literal facts literally. The one fact
was that they were forbidden to admit
any one without ticket, the second
fact being that tickets were not be
obtained at the price of either one or
the other Of the two great motives OF
man-Iove or money.
Steinmetz was Teutonic and impos-
ing. with the ribbon Of great order
on his breast He mentioned the names
of several ladies who might have been
but were not, of the committee. Final
ly, however, he mentioned the historic
name Of one whose husband had brav-
ed more than one Russian emperor
successfully for England.
Eyes, me lord, her ladyship's here, y
answered the man.
Steinmetz wrote on a card, 'In mem
DRY of SO, let me in," and sent in the
missive.
A few minutes later a stout, smiling
lady came toward him with outstretch-
ed hand.
"What mischief are you about" she
inquired, "you stormy petrol? This is

Rome, May ga report from Crete
says the situation in that island is very
grave, the insurrection having taken
the character of brigand methods, with
theft, murder, incendiarism and out
RACES upon women. Eight gendarmes
have been killed and many wounded.
The local force being quite inadequate
to cope with the situation, Prince
George has asked Italy and other pro-
tective powers to adopt energetic
measures and send battalion each to
check the insurrection which only
nominally has for it's object union of
the island with Greece. The repre-
sentatives of the protective powers
have decided to use force to maintain
the status quo.

c. W. Harvey, secretary of the to.

us the figures showing that the sales
on the Greenville market for the
month of August were 1,645,439 pounds
at an average price of 1857 per hun
dred pounds.
AS compared with last year a gain
of over three hundred per cent. in
pounds is shown, the sales in August,
1904, being 465,232 pounds at an aver
age price Of s6.92 per 100 pounds. 1t
will be noticed that the average price
this year is a little lower than last
but this is due to the fact that the
crop this year is very common in
quality. Prices on all grades are hign-
er this year than Last, but SO much
common brings down the average

head of the American Tobacco Com

friends, brought suit against his wife
for absolute divorce. This news has
created quite a sensation, as all OF
Mr.. Dukes friends thought the couple
were living happily. They were mar
ried less than a year ago. Mrs. Duke
at the time of her marriage was a Mrs.
McCredy, who had been divorced by

WHO ARE REGISTERED VOTERS

We hope the anti-saloon men of Ra-
leigh will take to the supreme court
the case now pending before the city
aldermen in order that it may definite
ly settled as to who is a REGISTERED
voter under the franchise clause of
the constitution, the election laws and
the various laws providing for local
elections based upon petitions of
voters. This has been a disputed point
ever since the adoption of the last
amendments to the constitution. Law
yers of equal prominence for ability
hold exactly opposite views as to the
meaning of the term registered voters.
If the application for an election on
the liquor question in Raleigh results
in this question being finally settled
great good will have come of it. 1t
does not make much difference which
way it is settled, just SO the people
know what the constitution and the
laws mean by the term. The main
question is whether or not a resident
whose name is on the registration
book and who is not in any way dis
qualified as a voter, except temporal
lily by not having paid his taxes for
the preceding year on or before the
first day of the preceding May comes
under the term registered voter.
