With Her Mother and Sisters
About Her.
POSES FOR PICTURE
TELLS OF HER HAPPINESS AT
BEING FREE.
Asserts Her Innocence Again-Will-
ing to Forego New York and
Broadway Forever.

Nan Patterson. just released from the
notorious New York prison called the
Tombs. has come home to her parents in
Washington. where she expects to remain
for some time, recuperating from the eff
fects of eleven months behind the bars.
Three times on trial for her life and two
Juries falling to convict her of the crime
charged against her by the state of New
York, the fresh young face and graceful
figure little show the traces of that con-
tinement with life at stake and in the
hands of twelve men twice.
AS she strolled about the grounds of her
parents home yesterday afternoon she
would never have been taken by any one
for woman with a history, much less such
a history as she has confessed to have
made of her young life. Not a visitor who call
ed at the house but failed to comment favor
ably on her appearance. and the utter abb
sence of anything in her face that would
Indicate her likelihood of having taken a
human life. She does not look the part of
murderess but rather that of a young
girl. care-free and innocent of guile.
This girl has never been accurately de-
scribed and yet her face and form are
by no means unusual. Her eyes are blue
and her complexion very fair Her hair Is
q USnl chestnut ana ner teeth are snort
and even. Her face and form are plump,
and her weight is probably 135 pounds to a
height of five feet and four inches. She
would be called pretty anywhere, but her
prettiness Is not such to attract atten-
don. She IS just such a girl would
expect to in the front line of the chorus
of musical comedy She is dainty in her
manner and has soft voice, not at all one
that would be associated with the life of
a woman who had spent much of her career
before the public eye.
The Power of Fascination.
There are thousands of girls in Washing
ton who are prettier than Nan Patterson,
but there are other thousands here who are
not so pretty. 1t is not at all surprising
that man such as the late Caesar"
Young is said to have been should have
been attracted to her, for she is just the
sort of young woman who would attract an
average man. Her form is voluptuous and
her manner seductive. She seems like some
conflding little child. woman to be petted
and cared for CareSSed and fondled and
whose whims must be gratified as soon as
known. 1t was probably this attribute that
bought about her downfall, for there is no
doubt that she has the natural power of

MUST PROVE INNOCENCE
Evidence Produced in the
Taggart Divorce Case Is
Strongly Against Them

WOOSTER, Ohio, Aug. 19.-Judge
Eason rendered his decision to-day in re-
gard to the motion filed yesterday to rule
out the charges against the principal men
named as correspondents in the Taggart
divorce case. Judge Eason said he would
dismiss the charges against Captain
Richter and against Clinton Spencer OF
Chicago, but that he would not dismiss
the charges against General Miner, Lieu
tenant Fortescue, Captain Bash and Will
liam Taggart.
In regard to the letters, Judge Eason
said that half the charges against Miner
in connection with the Imprisonment of
Taggart were not disproved. and Major
Taggart would have been justified in
writing almost any kind of a letter to get
out of prison.
The court went at length into the other
charges, and severely scored Miner, For
tescue Bash and William Taggart, say
ing that the evidence so far produced
must be disproved or it was against
them.
The dispositions of Lewis II. Basch and
Lieutenant Fortescue, both of whom are
named as correspondents, were read to-
day at the opening of the hearing for
the defense. Both dispositions were dis
tinctly favorable to the defendant Both
also denied the charges against them as
stated in Captain Taggart's petition.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Headquarters
detectives continued to-day their efforts
to discover who manufactured and sent
Internal machines to Jacob S. Schiff, in
the offices of Kuhn, Loeb-& Co.,
and to the Guggenheim Sons Company
on Friday. No arrests were made,
and, so far as could be learned. no def
mite clew was uncovered, but the reports
of the detectives to Acting Captain Nc
Cauley were of such a character as TO
cause him to speak of the affair in a
serious way tonight.
Captain McCauley said it was his be-
lief that the boxes were built and mailed
by crank. whose motives were difficult
to understand. He would not be sur
prised If other bombs came to light In
the financial district in a short time.
In the afternoon two men visited po-
lice headquarters and insisted that the
bombs were the work of nihilists and that
international action should be taken at
once. The police spoke of these men as
1.-TWO somewhat excited persons and
were inclined to regard their mission as
of no consequence. Whoever the 'ex-
cited persons were they insisted that
New York was imperiled by Russian
nihilists and that the State Department,
Japan and any other power that might
be made serviceable should be called In
to carry on the investigation.
Members of the Guggenheim company
smiled as they talked about the bomb
affair, and, like those in Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.'S office. said that mail packages
for a few days would be handled very
gently. Arthur T. Russell, assistant
manager, said:
'It is quite likely that some person
had lost money in stock speculation and
imagines that our firm and Kuhn, Loeb
&, Co were responsible for the change

Wreck Of Twentieth Century Limited.

AS a result of the wreck of the
Twentieth Century Limited on the Lake
Shore Railroad in Ohio, in which score
of prominent people were killed. official
announcement is made that the eighteen
hour schedule between New York and
Chicago will be discontinued. 1t is ex-
planned by the railroad people that the
accident was not due to high speed, and
it 10 claimed that the fast service could
be continued without danger of further
disasters At the same time, however,
the public is apt to be just a little bit
afraid of such reckless running, and If
the element of danger can be wiped out
by slower schedule the railroad is do
ing wise thing in restoring it. Two
weeks ago when the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn inaugurated its fast service between
New York and the West, the competing
line followed, and there was talk of fur
ther cutting the schedule to sixteen
hours. That meant continuous speed
of more than mile minute, which Ia
clearly unsafe. 1t is all right to break
records, provided ii doesn't break q score
OF heads in the bargain. n.--Greenvill
