Nan Patterson Will Not Know
Future For Several Days.
PROSECUTION C0NSULTS.
Indictments Against Smiths for Con
spiracy Have Been Quashed by Judge
Foster, Who Scored Grand
Jury and Jerome.

New York, May 81 Nan Patterson
must remain in prison for some days
at least, although the general opinion
Is that the district attorney will decide
to release her on bail. AIr. Jerome, it
was learned this morning, will not re-
turn to New York until Monday, while
Mr. Rand is out of town for few
days rest. 1T looks much as il con-
sultation Of the district attorney and his
subordmates will be held Monday, and
that the future Of the girl will then
be decided
1t is almost positively known that
the jury stood eigth to four for ac-
quittal Murder in the first degree was
never considered for minute. The
members who remained firm in their
belief in the girls guilt describe no SCI
yerer punishment than for manslaught-
er in the second degree
Judge Foster in General Sessions this
morning said that he had quashed the
indictment for conspiracy against j..
Morgan Smith and his wife. Judge Fos-
Ter, in making his decision known, took
found the indictment and indirectly the
district attorneys methods in handling
this end OF the case.
The Judge said that the district at
torney claimed that is evidence OF con-
spiracy, and in view Of this fact he
would allow him to bring the matter
before a new grand jury before he would
release the prisoners. 1t is believed
that counsel for the Smiths will move
that the district attorney present the
evidence within "a hours. and failing in
this, the Smiths must be discharged.

Supt. Of Education Ranger
Called to Rhode Island
FOR SIMILAR POSITION.
He Has Not Yet Decided to- Give Up
Place at Head Of Vermont Schools,
Although II Is Likely That
He VIII Resign.


Walter +. Rranger, state superinteu-
dent q education for Vermont, has been
elected as commissioner Of public schools
for the state OF Rhode Island the elec-s
tion taking place Wednesday and the
announcement being made that night.
Superintendent Ranger, when seen at
Montpelier today, said that he had not
reached a decision yet. Fl i expected,
however. that he viii accept the posi-
tion. The matter has been pending for.
several months. Last fail, during the
session OF the legislature, lie was APP
preached with an offer OF the position,
and at that time an effort was made to
increase the salary OF the superinten-
dent OF education SO that the state
might keep q capable official. But the
legislature did not see fit to make any
change, and the salary remained mt
$4,000 per anHum.
Since then the Rhode Island position
has been offered him again, and 1t Is
thought that the election was made by
the Rhode Island board OF education
with the belief that Mr.. Ranger would
accept
The salary connected with the posi-
ton is greater than that which the state
Of Vermont pays for experimenting its
public schools, and that remuneration il
Of course considerable inducement. 1t
is $4,000 per year. And with Mr.. Rang
er's known ability, there is almost
certainty Of continuance Of the EN-
gagement so long as he wishes. Ii he
accepts the position he will succeed
Thomas d. Stpekwell who recently re-
signed.
There would be general regret through
out the state If Superintendent Ranger
decides TO go to Rhode Island, but it
is admitted that there Is much to In
duce hiiu to leave. During the four
years in which he has filed the Office
OF state superintendent he has done a
remarkably fine work in building up the
schools of the state and has placed the
Office IN strong position.
Among educators it has been general
ly understood that Vermont would be
looking for 4 fiew superintendent soon.
and there has been much speculation AZ
TO who would succeed Mr.. Ranger when
than official resigned, as it was felt
certain be would do. The name of o.
D, Mathewson. superintendent of the
Barre public schools, has been proni-
nently mentioned, and BY many lie was
looked upon al the successor Ia MIR.
Ranger. His ability to fill the position
was generally recognized But Mr..
MatheWson has made an agreement with
the local school board TO superintend
the Barre schools for another year, ana
would not be able to take the position
if it should be offered to him.

In Prison Eleven Months.

In the eleven months passed behind
the prison walls, Nan Patterson has had
many disappointments Insisting from
the first that she was innocent Of the
crime with which she was charged, that
She loved Caesar Young and would do
him no harm, she waited all through
last summer for the first chance to face
her accnsers in open court Then, after
trying period in which practically the
whole case of the prosecution had been
shown, the illness Of a juror set at
naught all that had been done.
Another tiresome wait, more trying
weeks in the court room, and the girl
was Brought face to face with the Bit
ter truth that she had been unable to
convince twelve men of her innocence.
Six, it was said, had believed her story,
but the other six stood with her ac-
cusers.
That was just before Christmas the
day she had hoped to pass with her
invalid mother IN Washington. Then
followed more months Of waiting and
hopes which were to be dashed by am
other disappointment.
