YOUNG DID NOT KILL HIMSELF.
Either Nan patterson killed Young or
he killed himself. II IL wa suicide Young

met Nan Patterson that night He did not
buy the pistol. II he committed suicide
Nan Patterson gave him the pistol IL Ahe
gave him the pistol why didn't she say 80
A. for the powder marks on the +econd finger
Of YounR's right hand. and II they were
powder mPrks II wis the natural thing Tor
Young % put up his hands 20 shield himself.
il he had been able 20 give himself by
working the reversed pistol with his thumb
such a wound a. killed him the powder
could not have marked his finger AZ the
finger would have been back OF the hands
and away from the barrel. The revolver had
been found in his right hand pocket. and
even Mr.. Levy had not suggested that Young
had prepared that evidence himself TO show
that he had committed suicide, Young
would have had 10 be an ape 70 shoot him
self as he was shot
that Julia Smith found in Nan Patterson's
trunk Mr. Rand asked pointing to Mr.:
Levy. i wonder IL those letters showed
that Young was contemplating suicide
And why have not those letters been pro-
ducedY II il is true that NOung's passion
for this woman was 30 strong that he
couldn't get along without her don't you
know what those letters would have shown
We haven't seen those letters. TAX OF

Show me a letter that was written between
May and June 81 Was Young thinking
OF suicide when he bought new hat Was
he thinking OF suicide when he told the
cab driver TO Hurry and get me there be
fore go'clOCk' the time the boat was 20 sail
Those were the last words We know u
spoken by Caesar Young. The theory, OF
suicide Is absolutely inconsistent with what
we know. Cesar Young did not Kill NM

MARKED FoR THE SLAUGHTER.
'Mr. Levy says the prisoner was seduced.
Why she was married woman W men
Young went on q debauch with Nan Patter-
son from Los Angeles TO San Francisco
aud his wife found them he knew that lie
would have 10 make choice between M,
wife and the prisoner. between virtue and
vice Then Young saw the girls Cry Baby
letter 20 Leslie CORgins and decided TO give
her up for good and all. On May Nan
Patterson came unexpectedly 70 this city
from Washington and conspiracy was
hatched to separate Young from his wife.
IF Julia Smith had the dozen letters
In which Young proposed 10 get divorce
and marry Nan Patterson, why didn't size
produce them Why didn't her lawyers
produce the letters that Julia Smith found
IN Nan Patterson writing desk Surely
they would show what NOunR's Intentions
were toward the defendant. Young tried
20 get the letters from Nan Patterson, but
she wouldn't give them up Then she pre-
tended that she was about TO become
mother IN the hope Of keeping. foungs
money in the family: On the night before
the shooting J. Morgan Smith slapped
an rtrVuaI Nan paNfarapp an wing 'Apil'Va
got to do it, and Young also struck and /
cursed her.
THE blow and curse Of Caesar Young
did what the blow and curse Of J. Morgan |
smith could not do. Do you doubt that |
when Nan Patterson went 70 sleep that /
night that Caesar Young was man marked !
for slaughter? II the boy Hewitt didn't /
see Smith that night why doesn't Smith /
Ray sol II there was no conspiracy TO take B
Young and keep him from his wife do you .
suppose that any counsel could have kept ,
Smith from this witness chair No, he was .
afraid 10 deny that the newsboy saw him /
that night
cmcUMsTANr1AL EVIDENCE THAT SMITH I
BOUGHT THE REVOLVER.
Il knew when Lyman Stern, the pawn
broker went on the witness stand no |
wouldn't identify Smith. But remember !.
that IL was on June that Stern was first ]
brought TO the District Attorneys office /
and that when questioned here Mrs, smith !
She also declined to say whether OF not |
IS in a letter she was writing when she .
was arrested meant Stern. She said that .
the answer might convict her Of crime.
] wonder what crime. Why, II fifty Stems
had testified that Smith had bought that
gun Il wouldn't have been half so persuasive /
as the testimony Of Mrs. Smith. | can't
zee for the life Of me why that answer would
have convicted Mrs Smith Of any crime
unless j Morgan Smith had been concerned
in the purchase Of that revolver.
Who Is the direct witness who Identifies
J. Morgan Smith a. the purchaser Of that
revolver? Why. j. Morgan Smith himself.
a most persuasive witness, most compel
ling witness a silent witness, but none the
less one 10 be absolutely and finally relied
upon What do you gentlemen think OF
the silence OF j. Morgan Smith? II he did
not buy that revolver could all the lawyers
on earth and the 1900 policemen in this city /
surrounding his Chair-cOuld they keep him
from the witness stand 20 tell you 50? Who |
Identifies the purchaser Of the revolverl j.
Morgan Smith.
What do you thin, Of the silence Of J.
Morgan Smith? Como up, Smith, come |
up. Be man and tell the truth Your /
wifes sister is on trial for her life A tiger |
n thirsting for her blood and he says that |
you bought that revolver. Your wife has |
been on The stand and she won't say a word |
about u, because an an sweT would incrimi- |
nate her. Oh, Smith-you come and tell US !
whether you bought that revolver or not
SILENCE or THE PRISONER.
MY sad hard. repugnant duty is all but
done. have tried to be fair 70 this woman,
not one hair Of whose head ] would harm
except IN furtherance Of justice. Her
counsel has said that you have but single
alternative. He comedies to you without
reserve that II this defendant meant 20 kill
Cesar Young and planned TO do Il she is
guilty Of murder in the first degree. With
that opinion | agree. But you gentlemen
are not bound by that agreement.
sGentlemen. what answer does this de-
PENDANT make 70 this vast array Of unassail-
able, unassailed facts7 When we have shown
you everything ! have reheansed what
answer does she makeY What has her
counsel for her? Silence. Silence deep as B
the grave where Cesar Young sleeps his
last sleep. But she has not always been
silent She has been a witness and she has |
been examined She has told her story 10 /
twelve men and she tried 10 deceive them.
Mr.. Levy. VINO interrupted Mr.. Rand
several times, protested at this statement,
but Mr.. Rand finally read the evidence at
the last trial VIXEN Nan Patterson said she
was not frantic. wild or peTturbed when she
was told that Young was going 20 give her
