STATE CASE IS WEAK
So the Counsel for the Defense
Thinks as to the Nan Pat
terson Trial.
LEVY SEEMS VERY CONFIDENT
Says His Client Needs No Witnesses fir
View Of the Prosecutions Tes-
timony.

New York, April 2S.-Unless the
prosecution has some striking bit Of
evidence discovered since the last trial
which has been zealously concealed
thus far Nan Patterson's fate proba-
bly, will be entrusted to the jury on
the case as presented by her accusers.
After Wednesdays session, when
Pawnbroker Hyman Stern failed to
Identify either J. Morgan Smith, Mrs.
Smith or Miss Patterson as persons
who were present in his store when
the revolver which killed Caesar
Young was purchased. Abraham Levy,
Miss Patterson's counsel said he was
convinced that the states case had
fallen fiat. "Nan Patterson needs no
Defense" said Levy, after a confer
ence with his associate counsel.
Another Eye Witness Turns Up.
An interesting overnight develop
ment was the statement given out by
Mrs. Fannie Shapiro in which she says
she was within yard of the cab when
the shot was fired and signifies her
Willingness to go on the stand and
swear that Young held the weapon
which caused his death. AIillen,
Young's racing partner, went on the
stand and told of the journeys made
by Young and Miss Patterson to the
race tracks on the Pacific coast Mil
lens testimony was in the main re-
petition Of that which he gave at the
previous trial.
Widow Repeats Her Testimony.
Mrs. Margaret Young. the widow Of
the dead bookmaker, went on the
stand. She testified that her husband
never had owned revolver, but that
she had one and that she packed it
away with box of cartridges in her
baggage when she was preparing to
60 to Europe just before her husband
was killed. The revolver was loaded
when she put it in the suit case year
ago and the cartridges still remain in
the chambers. She identified the weap-
on, which was produced by Rand. The
only time the weapon ever was dis
charged to her knowledge, she said,
when when she fired several shots at a
burglar.

Another Jealous Double Crime.

Quincy, Mass, April %. Albert
T. Spargo shot and killed his wife,
Elizabeth, and then put a bullet
through his own head, with fatal re-
suits, at his home in South Quincy.
The tragedy is believed to have been
caused by jealousy on the part of Spar.

not reached by any town in Arkansas
as I am informed. Such filthy places
as can be found between the former To-
cation of the Teller office and adioin-
ing buildings and the land north, or
between the present location of the
Teller building and bakery and drug
store, could not be tolerated here. |
have never been able to understand
how the mayor, and city council, and
the board Of health of Lancaster, per-
mitted these breeding places of dis
ease to exist; they have been regular
plague spots for years.
But got off the track. wrote to
you about Crossett, excepting the

Thirteen cash carriers carry the
money to the cashier. Saturday last

m. [ have never seen such quiet
crowd of nine hundred men together.
The men took their envelopes, ON
which statement of time. and debts
for store bill, doctor bill and accident
insurance and balance of cash is given,
and quietly they walked home, ap-
parently satisfied. There was no loud
talk or disputes. The liquor is sold
in the town or on the company's
premises. and this seems to account
for the quietude to the crowd. The
owners of this plant are all northern
men. 1t is one of the largest yellow
pine lumber plants in Arkansas. The
company owns about 100000 acres of
pine and hardwood lumber, large
tract nearly equal to five and half
townships. Last week 81 cars of lum-
Der were shipped from Crossett. feel

the Allis Co., of Milwaukee, was for
$4,000. The company has five loco
motives and a train track Of more
than y miles already. A new rail
road is being built from Crossett
northeasterly. Graders are already
at work and the contract has to be
completed by October 1st. This will
open up new country for cultivation.
Lands are advancing in value, and
new farms being opened on the prairies
and in the timber. Crossett promises
to be one of the best locations for
speculation in Arkansas, and soon
more northern capital will flow in.
The men at the mills are paid from
$3.50 to 500 per day. The monthly
pay roll is about S24,000.0O of which
10 per cent is deposited monthly in the
bank of Crossett which is owned
by the company. 1t is remarkable
