Prosecuting Attorney Rand scathsnxIy Arraigns the Accused and Her coun-
 sel-DecIares the Latter Based Ills Plea on Fabrications-Nan Confident
 of AcquittaI and Says She Knows '.Those Twelve Men VIII Not Hang . Girl on oratory.. 1 New York, May 2.-The fate of Nan Patterson. on her third trial for the
 murder of Caesar" Young, will be in
 the hands of the jury early tomorrow.
 Assistant District Attorney Rand com
 pleted the closing argument for the i prosecution shortly before 5 o'clock this
 afternoon when the court adjourned for the day. Recorder Golf announced that i he would charge the jury upon the ] opening of court tomorrow It is not i believed that his instructions will be ! lengthy and probably before the noon
 hour the jury will have retired to con- sider a verdict. At the close of the ar- l gument to-day after Prosecutor Rand had arraigned her in the most sca8hfng terms. had asserted that her silence in ! this tria1 was a confession Of her guilt. A had declared that her sister had lied on l the stand and that her counsel had based his plea for her life on foundat- < ton of fabrications Nan Patterson said i she still felt e lffdent the jury would bring in an early verdict of acquittai.
 MT. Rand is fine orator" she de- I r1o sh,tf will not hang girl on oratory.' MT. Rand consumed practically the ] entire day. He devoted a large part ! of his speech to a defense of himself and his methods in the present trial He 1 declared the charges made against him I by Abraham Levy, attorney for the de- { fendant, were unjust and misleading. E He denied that he had been guilty of
 suppressing evidence that might have
 helped the Patterson girl.
 Mr Rand contended mat the discrep- ! ancies in the testimony of witnesses for I the prosecution referred to by MT. Levy $ yesterday were in no way material. < The charge that Mrs Young and her ! brothers-in-law, McKean and Luce and
 her hushe1d's partner, Miller, colored i their testimony, he said was nothing d less than an accusation of perjury and s would not hold. This was plain enough,
 he said, from the fact that all of them swere permitted to leave the stand wfth-
 out cross examination sThe more their
 story was tested the plainer it has ap- peared, he said. 4.f wish they had
 been cross examined. I wish she had
 tried to shake their testimony.
 cL Young and Miss Patterson on railway < train when both were bound for the 4 west and something of their lives in the
 months which followed, the prosecutor B came down to May 1, 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 finally to break off his re-
 lations with Nan Patterson. After s sthat Coggihs told the Smiths, the ! prosecutor continued, ssthis defendant
 5lnannounced came on the next day
 from Washington. She was frantic and
 hysterical Young did not know that l Nan was in New York on that day l He had written to her believing she was in Washington Are his letters 1 those of a man madly in loye--a man I who is supposed to have killed himself rather than be separated for a short Iperiod from her? They indicate his feelings which were that she should not 3 bother him. T don't believe the story l that Young told Nan he was going to I get a divorce from his wife because it i is new. never heard of it before, all \ though the defendant has twice been put on trial. never said that on his receipt of the letter May 3, he (Young)
 was marked for slaughter. did say I that on the night of June he was a I marked man. Can you forget the | threat Nan made the night before the
 tragedy? She told Young that she \ knew the name of the boat and said
 .You'lI never sail on that boat because I III be there to stop you She kept on
 repeating that threat until Young lost
 his temper and. slappIng her, put her in ] a cab Had not J Morgan Smith told
 her a few hours before that shed have sl to do it?' But that blow and curse set- I tied her determination. Don't you know that when Caesar Young went I to bed that night he was marked for I slaughter
 1T said that J. Morgan Smith bought
 this revolver and propose to prove it.
 Stern, an honest man, according to
 Levy, sold that revolver on June B So
