Mrs. Beatrice Young, who on Aug.ie shot
Mrs. Kathleen Morgan in the Hotel Imperial,
was arraigned in the Yorkville police court
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Morgan was
there, hardly recovered from her wound,
and 30 was Young, who has the stenographio
privilege at the Imperial and other hotels
and for whom Mrs. Morgan was working
when Mrs. Young shot her, presumably
because of jealousy.
Mrs. Young came into court In the GUS
tody of Detective Sergeant Capper. She
looked composed and cheerful as she went
on the bridge to answer to the charge OF
assault in the first degree read by Magis-
trate Steinert. She was represented by
Attorneys Mccarthy and Bradbury. while
Mr.. Kernoohan appeared for the District
Attorneys office.
Mrs. Morgan came into court, assisted
by nurse and policeman. and accom-
panied by her lawyer, A. d. Kneeland. Mr..
Young slid into back seat and kept out
of notice.
Attorney Kneeland announced that his
client did not wish to make any complaint.
Ms. Young, who stood near Mrs Morgan,
was smiling. Mrs. Morgan became so faint
that she was assisted into the Magistrates
private room.
-Inasmuch as the plaintiff withdraws
the complaint said Magistrate Steinert,
IF the defendant will agree to leave the
State Immediately she will be paroled in
the custody of her counsel until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Il don't know why should leave the
State" said Mrs. Young. Il am perfectly
innocent. My child is here and my friends
are here. Why should go?'
There was hurried confab after that
between Mrs. Young and her lawyers.
They told her that the compromise sug-
gested would be the best thing. She finally
agreed and the case was again brought
before the Magistrate.
Have Won reached a decisiop?" asked
Magistrate Steinert.
'Yes," said Mr.. Bradbury. aMrs. Young
has decided that she will leave the State and
20 to Minnesota if she is released"
Just then Assistant District Attorney
Kernochan took hand
IF this woman is insane, as has been
alleged ne said, I'VE do not care to have
her at large. 1t should be proved whether
she is sane or not"
Mrs. Young's lawyers fastened to assure
the Magistrate that she would start for
Minnesota this morning and that In the
meantime they would be her responsible
custodians. This seemed to satisfy Magis-
trate Steinert, and he directed the woman's
release on those conditions. She went
away smiling. Mrs.. Morgan pale and
trembling, departed by another door.
Lawyers and others who listened to the
proceedings wero astonished. They had
heard OF Migrants being shooed out Of
town by police magistrates and Of crooks
being kept north Of Fulton street. but they
never before had seen Q woman accused
of attempted murder banished from the
State as substitute for legal prosecution.
Magistrate Steinert was asked afterward
for light on the subject.
1T was a mutual agreement between the
parties, he said. The oomplainant's coun-
eel agreed that there would be no complaint
made II the prisoner left the State. Mrs.
Young made something that looked like
an objection to this. but later she con-
sented.'
is there precedent for this sort Of
agreement"
aNo; the parties simply agreed. The
plaintiff did not appear against the de-
PENDANT and the defendant was willing to
get out. / was informed that her attorney
would see that she left the State in lieu OF
Mrs. Morgan making any complaint. Mr..
Kernochan at first objected. but finally
agreed to it."
I'VE could not get Mrs. Nor gan to mako
complaint" said Mr.. Kernoohan last
night Il did not think it was a case where
our office should insist on forcing the COM
plant"
Suppose Mrs. Young does not remain
outside the Stat e." was suggested.
Nothing can be done to her. said the
Assistant District Attorney, unless some
one wants to get her indicted. There !s no
law that can keep her out Of the State. I
do not know that the District Attorneys
office will do anything more about the
matter
NM. Youngs mother lives in Minnesota
and her lawyers said yesterday that she
