Plainview, Neb, Dec. l9.-SpeciaI
to The News: Thos. II. Webster, a
well-to-do farmer living three and a
'uartcr miles northeast of Plainview
committed suicide about o'clock last
evening by shooting himself in the

All sorts of rumors are In circula.
ton in town as TO details of the trag
edy so that it Is really difficult to ar.
rive at the true cause of the rash act
The story which seems to be given
the most credence is as follows:
During the afternoon Mr.. Webster
was in town shopping and toward
night he drove home, arriving about
; o'clock When in town he seemed
to be all right. as cheerful and good
humored as ever, but a person he
passed on his way home said he
scarcely spoke and acted very differ
ent from his usual self. AS the story
goes, when he reached home he sat
down in the sitting room to talk with
his wife and then announced to her
that he was tired of living and pro.
posed to try his fate in another world.
He urged his wife to go with him but
she said she would wait until she was
called in the natural way. Then he
walked into another room and a mo-
ment later his wife heard the report
of a revolver and when she reached
his side he was unconscious. Mrs.
Webster Immediately telephoned to
town for a physician, but before he
could drive the distance to the farm
the man had expired.
Mr.. Webster leaves besides his wife
two daughters and son. He owned
section of land in one of the most
fertile sections of the country, well
stocked with cattle and horses and
we'll improved He came here from
Madison about five years ago and has
always been considered a good citi-
zen No reason for taking his own life
can be imagined, except that he had

 NAN PATTERSON LIED

 ING OF LARYERS.
Declares She Held the Revolver Ina,

Declares She Held the Revolver That Killed Young-AIso That smith
 Bought the weapon--Thinks the
 Pistol Was Discharged in a scun1e
 and That the Chorus Girl Would Have
 Been Acquitted at Second Trial Hsd She Told the Truth.
 New York, May 15.-Somewhat fo the astonishment of those present at the monthly dinner tonight of the Phi De1- ta Phi club. an organization of lawyers Justice Vernon M. Davis, of the su-
 preme court of the state of New York. who was the guest of honor, gave his opinion as to the guilt of Nan Patter- son while making an argument in de- fense of Assistant District Attorney Rand, who had prosecuted the young woman at her three trials for the rn,,r- der of Caesar Young. Justice Davis.
 who presided at the first 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 was shot, that J. Morgan Smith
 bought the weapon and gave 1t to her. charging her at the time with the duty
 of soaring Young.
 In the middle of the justices remarks the reporters were asked to leave th9 room. but before they had reached the door they were called by the speaker. who said that he left it to their discre- ton as just what parts of his speech were to be used.
 We have heard great deal in the public press of late of severe criticism lof Mir. Rand and his conduct of the trial" said the Justice.
 You can't prosecute a criminal with- jout telling what you believe to be the truth. In the second trial before nia the defendant went on the stand and it was quite obvious that she was telIiuR falsehoods from beginning to end. The very air seemed charged with the fact that she was lying. Yet she was a
 woman. She was young. It was nAtli- ral that the public should sylnpathixe 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 peo- pie are convinced that maj of the the
 people believed that the pistol that kiil- ed Caesar Young was held by Nan Pat terson; was discharged by her; was
 bought by J. Morgan Smith In an at tempt to get money from Caesar Young for the support of the combined fam lily.
 T don't mean to say that she trook the pistol from the reticule and shot ! him in the side. but I do believe that she had the pistol and showed 1t to
 Caesar Young. An argument followed
 and he took hold of the weapon. In | the conversation and consequent strug- gle the pistol went off and the man was killed.
 T believe, moreover. that had she told the story on the witness stand as It really happened-in other words. had she told the truththat second jury would have acquitted her.''
