OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
BELIEVES NAN WAS GUILTY
OPINION OF JUSTICE DAVIS OF
YORK SUPREME COURT.
Declares in an Address That in His
Belief the Patterson Girl
Killed Young.

New York, May 17.-Somewhat to
the establishment of those present at
the monthly dinner Monday night OF
the Phi Delta Phi club, an organization
OF lawyers, Justice Vernon NJ. Davis,
of the supreme court of the state Of
New York, who was the guest of hon
or, gave his opinion as to the guilt of
Nan Patterson while making an
argument in defense Of Assistant
District Attorney Rand. who had
prosecuted the young woman at her
three trials for the murder of
Caesar Young. Justice Davis, who
presided at the nrst two trials of
the former chorus girl, said that she
had lied from beginning to end. and 1t
was his opinion that the majority Of
the community now believed that Miss
Patterson held the pistol by which
Young ww - that ]. Morgan Smith
bought the weapon and gave it to her,
charging her at the time with the
duty OF soaring" Young.
In the middle of the Justices re-
marks the reporters were asked to
leave the room, but before they had
reached the door they were called
back by the speaker, who said that he
left 1t to their discretion as to just
what parts Of his speech were to be
used. 1--WE have heard a great deal in
the public press OF late Of severe criti-
cism Of Mr.. Rand, and his conduct Of
the trial." said the justice.
You can't prosecute a criminal
without telling what you believe to be
the truth. In the second trial before
me the defendant went on the stand,
and it was quite obvious that she was
telling falsehoods from beginning to
end. The very air seemed charged
with the fact that she was lying. Yet
she was woman. She was young
1t was natural that the public should
sympathize with her. People seemed
to know that she was not telling the
truth, and the great public Of New
York said, Why shouldn't she lie!
Let her lie. Let her get the benefit
Of her lies.' But to-day, in the light OF
the last disagreement, feel sure that
most people are convinced-that a
majority Of the people believe-that
the pistol that killed Caesar Young
was held by Nan Patterson; was dis
charged by her; was bought by ]. Nor.
gan Smith, in an attempt to get money
from Caesar Young for the support Of
the combined family. don't mean tc
say that she took the pistol from the
reticule and shot him in the side, but
I do believe that she had the pistol
and showed It to Caesar Young. An
argument followed, and he took hold
Of the weapon. In the conversation
and consequent struggle the pistol
went on and the man was killed.
believe, moreover, that had she told
the story on the witness stand as II
really happened; in other words, had
she told the truth. that second jury
would have acquitted her"

Sun Spots and Earthquakea. New York Tribune.


 A French astronomer, Abbe Moureux, believes that such terrestrial phenomena as earthquakes and volcanic erupttons are caused by those solar disturbances of which the sun spot is a manifesto tion. He is disposed to attribute the severe shock which involved the loss of Is, 900 lives in India few weeks ago and minor trembEngs elsewhere since the close of January to the exceptional solar activity which has been observed during the last three months Indeed, so convinced was he that trouble was impending that he published predic- tions as long ago as February 9.
 If this theory should be well founded 1t should be possible to find corrobora- ton by comparing records for thirty or forty years. At the maximum stages of three or four eleven-year sun spot cycles there should be a greater mum. Der of shocks and eruptions than usual, and at the minimum stages less than the average. A reasonably close cor respondence of that sort should be dis covered before much faith Is placed in the supposed relationship. A few co- incidences such as may have been noted since the opening of 1905 hardly count for much. They might be accidental and without real significance.
 After a prima facie case had been established by statistics 1t would still be necessary to indicate the method by which solar influence was exerted. Perhaps the most plausible guAss would be that magnetism or electricity was the agent; but to demonstrate conclu- slvely how that force operated would
