officials say Nan Patterson, the actress,
has become deeply moved by the Holy
Week religious services and they would
not be surprised if she should becStne'
an ardent church worker!
With the shadow ,os -the trial upon her
the young woman has given much
thought to her religious welfare. and

To Investigate Story.
Counsel for Nan Patterson will make
a thorough investigation of the story
told by Samuel Eisenberg, the Chicago
tailor, who at this late date, has come
forward and told of having seen the
bookmaker shoot himself in the cab
while in company with Miss Patterson.
Counsel will send man to Chicago to
investigate Eisenberg's story, and II his
statemtnts bear the earmarks of truth
he will be brought to this city.
May Come to New York.
Abraham Levy, Daniel O'Reilly. George
Simpson and Philip Waldheimer, all OF
counsel for the defense, decided it was
well worth while to look into this mat
ter. and in the event that the tailor
story could be corroborated, or If 1t
looked true, to bring the man to New
York and let him tell his own story to
the jury.
That Eisenberg should only turn UP
at this late hour, when, IL MS story Is
true, he has known about 1t for eleven
months, Is a mystery that Mr. Levy
and Mr.. O'Reil1y were unable to en-
plain They say, however, that no doubt

ways of this country. feared to come to
the front in the very beginning and tell
his story, supposing that he would have
been locked up.

berg's story, and make a report on IT,
Bad If Not Believed.
Mr.. Levy and Mr.. ORellly realize II
they should put this newly discovered
witness on the stand and he should fall
short of expectation. his testimony
would do more harm than would his

Nan Patterson is delighted. She says
It Is never too late to prove her limo
