J. did not say that the tickets repre-
scented articles pawned on June 3. be-
cause I knew they were dated October
l did ask Mrs. Smith if they were re-
newal tickets for articles pawned on
June 3 and her answer was a lie. She
also lied when she said she could not
remember when the bracelets given her
by her mother were pawEed in Sterns
by her husband, J. Morgan Smith.
II wonder if. when he was making the
charge of concealing evidence, his
thoughts were wandering along the Ca
madam border to Toronto. And I won-
der it, when he was charging unfair
methods. he was thinking of the articles
which kept Smith and his wife away
from the first trial. Since when has
Levy the right to tell me to be gen.
tlcman? He sWOre to me to bring the
blush to Mrs. Youngs honest face to
answer his questions. Have l tried to
drag this defendant through the miro
and, covering her with stencil, asked
you to convict Have 1 not treated her
with the utmost consideration? But
Levy well knew that h" had to win but
one juror to his side, while must con-
vince you all
The contention of the defence that it
was Young who opposed breaking the re-
| lations between him and Miss Patterson
| he claimed was proven untenable by the
| evidence which, he said. showed that
Young had kept away from her during
| the whole month just preceding his death.
SHOW me a letter written by Young to
! this woman after May s., said he. They
| have no such letter, but what does guilt
say: Guilt won't look you in the eye.

OF the souvenir postal card bearing
Miss Patterson's name ana address in
! IOung's handwriting, which WIS found
in the young woman's handbag at the
time of her arrest. Mr.. Rand said he had
. different theory than the one advanced
by the defence. They had suggested that
it was put there by Young for the pur-
| pose of identification in event of a muir
der and suicide. He believed, however,
that it was iouns's intention to send the
card back from the steamer by the pilot
| to show that he was on the sea.
Mr. Rand then began a review of the
evidence in the case. He declared that
il had been proven by the prosecution
| that Young never owned Il revolver and
that even if he had one it would have
been a physical impossibility for him to
have inflicted upon himself such Il wound
as caused his death. He called the atten-
tiur of the Jury to the preparations made
by Young for his European trip and told
them that alone proved beyond question
that the bookmaker had no tonton of
taking his life.
Mr.. Rand contended that the discrcpan-
cios in the testimony OF witnesses for
the prosecution referred to by Mr.. Levy

an accusation of perjury and would not
hold. That was plain enough, he said
from the fact that all Of them were per
mittcd to leave the stand without cross
examination. The more their story was
tested the palmer it has appeared" h"

After describing the meeting between
Young and Miss Patterson on railway
train when both were bound for the West
and something of their lives in the
months which followed. the prosecutor
came down to May l. 1904. On that day
Leslie COggins dined with the j. Morgan
Smiths and told them that Young, who
then was in New York. had decided final |
ly to break off his relations with Nan
Patterson.
