RAND COMPLETES SPEECH

New York, May 2.-The fate of Nan Patterson in her third trial for the murder Of Caesar" Young will be in the hands of the jury early tomor- row.
 | Assistant District Attorney Rand l completed the closing argument for the prosecution shortly before o'clock this afternoon and the court adjourned for the day Recorder Con announced that he would charge the jury upon the opening the court tomorrow. It is not believed that his instructions will be lengthy and probably before the noon hour the jury will have retired to consider the verdict.
 | At the close of the argument today after Prosecutor Rand had arraigned her in the most scathing forms, had ! asserted that her silence in this trial was a confession of her guilt. had de- clared that her sister had lied on the I stand and that her counsel. mad based his plea for her on foundation of fab rications. Nan Patterson said she still ] felt confident the jury would bring in an early verdict of acquittal. MT. Rand is fine orator. she de- clared. "but I know these twelve men will not hang girl on oratory." | MT. Rand consumed practically the entire day. He devoted large part of l his speech to 6 defense of himself and his methods in the present trial. He declared/ /the charges made against him by Abraham Levy. attorney for the defendant. were unjust and misleading. He denied that he had been guilty of suppresslng evidence that might have | helped the Patterson girl.
