Both Nan Patterson and Sister Shows The
Days Strain.

New York. April 2S.-After a day re-
rlete with interesting developments.
both the prosecution and the defence
rested their case OF Nan Patterson. the
former actress indicted for the alleged
murder Of Caesar Young, the wealthy
bnok:nakCr, almost year ago. The
| prosecution finished it's case Just prior
To the adjournment Of the court and
later Attorney O'Reilly. of counsel for
| Miss Patterson. notified the prosecution
that his side would submit no defence
md would rast on the contention that
the state had failed o make out any
case against the defendant. The derl-
sion means the speedy conclusion of the

on her right To refuse to answer qnes-
tons on the ground that the answers
might incriminata her; Mr. Rand's
pror,1se to quash the conspiracy indict-

answer his questions and the protest

The contention Of the defence in NOV
