Had Been Lying in Yale Medical
Cold Storage Room for
Two Months.

New Haven, Conn.--Mrs. George Klea,
OF New York, took her husbands body
back to that city, after rescuing it from
the cold storage room of the Yale med
ical school. Mrs. Klea made sorrowful
tour of the undertaking shops of the
town. looking for the body of her hus-
band, whose death two months ago she
had only learned Of On learning that
the body had been sent to the medica!
school, she hurried thence, to find the
body embalmed ready for dissection.
She secured permit to remove it to New
York.
Klea was a shoemaker here. and. be-
ing Ill last June, was taken to the SPRING
side home, where he stayed until his
death early in October. The officials
there for the first time learned of his
wife. whose address was found in his
pocket. Efforts were made to locate
her by letter and telegram, but, receiv-
ing no reply, the officials finally turned
the body over to the medical school. ac-
cording to the law Of this state.
In speaking Of the matter Prof. Fer
ris. of the anatomical department Of the
medical school, said:

was dead. and bullet had fulfilled Its
mission.
For some days an absolute silence pre-
vailed. Then food of alleged eyewit-
nesses turned up. Their stories, how
ever, could not stand Investigation. and
one after another they were cast aside
as sensation seekers.
But there was one exception; an old
man. Martin Hazleton, of Oneonta, N.
Y. He saw the man and woman, their
hands clasped and held face high, then
flash, puff of smoke and the report
OF revolver broke the stiffness of the
| morning.
Hazleton was the most important wit
ness placed On the stand by the defense,
and the efforts of the prosecutor to shake
his brief but vital testimony ended in
failure
Then the defendant herself went to
the witness chair and told the whole
story of her relations with Young. 1t
was trying ordeal-before the curious
crowd in the courtroom-as she repeat
ed the history of her life from the day
she met the man who was to turn her
life in tragedy path to the fatal moment

Finally the trial was completed. and
the jury, after celebrating for "a hours,
declared they were unable to agree as

Story with Moral.
This, in brief, is the story of the life
of Nan Patterson, or that part of it that
had an ultimate bearing on the death
of Caesar Young, and the trial that has
been three times nine-days' talk in
New York. and probably throughout the
country.
Little did she suspect when she en-
parked upon her theatrical career and

There's q little bit of fellow whose name
you all know well,
Who has pitiful grievance of which wish

He makes but little pretension, is satisfied
all the while
To lfnger around the ends of things and

But plenty of boys and girls. he says. and
folk much older, too,
Seem often bent on sighting him in a way
they shouldn't do
They're cuttin' him of and shuttin' him
out and snubbin' him, one by one
Till he really can scarcely hear himself

Dressin' and eatin' and drinkin'-they' re al

If 1t isn't mean and unfair, and hard to

And shove him out of his proper piace-set

A wee little modest fellow who can never

And the worst Of it all is coming, that VIXEN

Whether she is guilty or innocent of
the murder of Young will probably never
be positively known to any but her and
her Maker. She has been brought be-

crafty and skillful lawyers have tried
to fasten the crime on her while others

EXCITING BATH TUB GAME.
It Is Played with Home Made Flo
tilla Which Is Seeking Shelter
in Safe Wharves.

That the bathtub can be utilized for
many purposes of amusement has been
proved by many boy or girl, but per-
haps never before in the following man
ner, described in the New York Mail:
Let US imagine the bathtub is har-
Dor, with one end for the water front
and the other end for the harbor
entrance. But if we are to have a water
front, where are the wharyes? You are
to make them, and this is the way:
First, measure the width of the end
of the tub which is selected for the
water front. The measurement should
be taken of the distance between the
sides, inside the tub. The mark out
your proposed wharves with a pencil on
thin pine board about a foot wide,
and long enough to just float snugly be-
tween the sides of the tub at the water
front end
Having done this, saw out the
"wharves" with thin saw, and you will
have result like the diagram. The
slips" between the wharves in the mid
die of the board are the narrowest, and
the others grow wider until they reach
the ends, the two end slips being the
widest, and marked with the lowest

number, five. There should be seven
slips" in all, and marked as shown in
the diagram, the narrowest wharf hav-
ing highest number, SO.
You are now ready to play the game,
II you have fotilla of small boats. If
not fashion half dozen or SO out of
fiat pine boards, whitfield into the shape
OF boat, and equipped with rudoer
You may add masts if you like, but
they will not be of the slightest use in
this game, because the only motive
power will be your own efforts, for you
and your competitors are to push the
boats with your right hand
The idea is to shove the vessel under
your command into the narrowest Slip
between the wharves. This may look
very easy, but you will quickly find
that good deal of dexterity is required.
1t is a sure test of steady eye and
hand. and the effort is rendered harder
by the fact that each rudder must be set
SO that it steers the boat slightly to-
ward the left. This will sometimes spoil
the calculations of the sharpest eye, and
there will be quite little practice
necessary before you can gauge the
proper impulse necessary to guiGe your
craft along a true course into the slip"
Any number agreed upon, such as 100
or 200 points. may determine the game;
five must be subtracted from the total

she was his friend and companion to the
day Of his death.
Young began his career on the Pacific
coast as foot racer. and was said to
have been one of the fastest runners that
the world has ever known. From the
cinder path he drifted to the race track,
and his luck from the beginning was
phenomenal.
Her Fatal Beauty.
Nan Patterson's beauty has been the
cause of other troubles in which lives
have been forfeited. An actor in another
who had proposed to her became insane
over her refusal and committed suicide
in her presence. Another admirer of
hers killed himself On the coast.
Nan Patterson remained in the west
with Young until last spring. They Wis
tied the tracks at Los Angeles, Oakland
and other prominent racing centers on
the coast, and returned east in March
for the first time since their meeting.
Young returned to the coast the fol-
lowing month, and it was but few days
before she was speeding westward in re-
spouse to telegram from him.
All this. was brought out in the testi-
mony at the celebrated trial. Seldom
were they separated by very great dis
lance, and then only when it was I'M
avoidable.
During all this time he tried to hide
his relations with the Patterson girl
from his wife. His friends and relatives
pleaded with him to give up the show
girl, and finally induced him to agree to
take trip to Europe, where they hoped
she could or would not follow, and where
he might forget her.
The Fatal Shooting.
1t was on the morning that he was
about to leave, on Saturday, June 4,
that the tragedy occurred He had seen
her the evening previous, told her of his
proposed trip and, according to her
story, had asked her to follow and meet
him in London. She had given him an
indefinite answer, but had agreed to meet
him the next morning and see him off.

They had sent night of carousal and
drinking, and Young was considerably
under the influence of the liquor when he
finally left her at her sisters home and
returned to his.
1t was early next morning when they
met again. After Young had several
more drinks they entered cab and
started for the pier, where Young's wife
was awaiting him. 1t was at an hour
when the streets were not very crowded
There was pistol shot, and Young fell

Stage life caused her to forget the re-
ngious training she had received The
glitter of the spangles and the gay life
of the actor folk appealed to her, and she
decided to become great actress.
Surely there was nothing harmful
behind the footlights, she thought.
Fine clothes and good time" were
to her liking.
She was handsome in face and form
and it was not long before young scions
OF wealthy families and elderly men OF
means who haunt the bald head row
began to haunt the stage door and make
her acquaintance.
The flowers and champagne suppers
they furnished were also not amiss.
Jewels and gems were showered on her
and more than one, smitten with her
beauty, laid their hearts at her feet
and begged her hand in marriage.
But she refused them all, and finally
married young man in the profession
named Martin.
Her Meeting with Young.
The combining bonds of matrimony
were evidently not to her liking. and
when "Floradora,' a musical comedy
which had gained great popularity in
London mainly through the famous
sextette, was imported, she applied for
and obtained position in the front row.
The company was organized to tour
the country, and was to extend to the
Pacific coast. This gave her an oppor-
tunity to visit California, something she
had always longed for
1t was on this trip that she met Young
whose tragic death has caused her so
much misery and sorrow.
Young was prominent and success
full horseman and bookmaker. He had
horses running on nearly all of the prom
lnent tracks of the country, and was re-
puted to be worth half million dollars.
Although a married man, he immedi-
ately fell victim to the charms of the
beautiful and vivacious show girl. On
their arrival in San Francisco he in
stalled her in handsome fat In Oak
land, across the bay, and for some
months led a dual existence. ANYTHING
she wished for was at her command
During the trial it was shown that dur
ing their acquaintance he had given her
thousands of dollars.

The people had gathered and were
ready to begin,
AS on everyone's face was seen a
broad grin.
A pretty little lady with an intelligent
face,
Was thinking Of the chance she had
in the race.
She sat at the head table with wick

Saying to herself, "Ill do it or die
The cards were shuffled, cut and dealt
And the game was started with an in

No perceptible change in my lady
face was seen,
AS she took the first trick with a fair
haired Queen.
A fine hand she played for when at
the end,
When her tricks were counted they

While the scores were taken her com
