from his wife. His friends and relatives
pleaded with him to give up the show
girl, and finally induced him to agree to
take a trip to Europe, where they hoped
she could or would not follow, and where
he might forget her.
The Fatal Shooting.
It 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 10 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 on.
They had sent a night of carousal and
drinking, and Young was considerably

Although married man. he immedi-
ately fell q victim to the charms OF the
beautiful and vivacious show girl. On
their arrival in San Francisco he in
stalled her in q 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.
Leaves Stage for Young.
While on the coast she sued for q d.
vorce from her husband at his sugges-
ton, and also deserted the stage.
With all his faults. Young maintained
an outward show Of responsibility, liv-
ing in a pretentious home in an exclu-
sive section of San Francisco. He had
q certain respect for his wife. and when
she discovered the double existence h.
had been leading. he was driven almost
crazy by the exposure. With the reck-
lessness of man insane. he entered up
on long debauch. and lost fortune on
the block before he recovered himself.
According to his racing partner, he re-
peatedly tried TO sever his unhply rela-
tions with the chorus girl. but his infatu.
alton was too strong or his will power
too weak, for he never succeeded. and
she was his friend and companion TO the
day of his death.
Young began his career on the Pacific
coast as a foot racer, and was said TO
have been one of the fastest runners that
the world has ever known. From the
cinder path he drfted 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 or
the coast, and returned east in March
for the first time since their meeting.
Young returned to the coast the fol
lowing month. and 1t was but few day!
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 un
avoidable.
During all this time he tried to hide
his relations with the Patterson cir

II was early next morning when they
met again. After Young had several
more drinks they entered a 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

nesses turned up. Their stories, how.
ever, could not stand investigation. ant
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
a flash, q pun of smoke and the report
of a 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 tc
the witness chair and told the whole
story of her relations with Young. II

ny the Use Of Common vinegar and salt
He Has Secured Results Similar 20
the Normal Fertilization Of Sea UrohinS'
EGGs-LOng Heredlty study Involved.
SAN FRANCISCO, March a7.-Prof. Jacques
Loeb Of the University Of California has
made new discovery In HE experiments
In producing life artihoially in seq urchins
which Is Of great importance to students Of
heredity. In fertilizlng the eggs Of sea
urohins he discovered that in natural fer
tilization the eggs developed q peculiar
membrane which he could secure by means
OF chemicals Finally he found that by
use Of common vinegar and salt he could
produce a membrane and that tho eggs
foated on the surface OF the alter exactly
as they do in nature.
Prof. Loeb discovered this simple method
In this way: He had used ethyl acetate
and sodium chloride alone, but membrane
would not develop normally. Then be
used one Of the chemicals after another.
and be succeeded IN fertilizing the eggs
as In nature. These results did not reduce
the problem 10 It's lowest terms.
Prof. Loeb had used in his experiments
an old solution Of ethyl acetate. When this
compound is allowed 10 stand for some time
It gradually breaks up into ethyl alcohol
and acetio acid wine gar) Examining
his solution, Prof Loeb found in It a quantity
Of free acetic acid. The question then arose,
is ethyl acetate, or acetic acid, an important
substance In the solution. Solutions Of pure
ethyl acetate were tried and gave no result.
solutions Of pure acetio acid were tried
and gave most perfect results.
Another question Immediately arose. II
acetic acid Is potent, why not other acids7
This question has been answered afflnma-
lively, for foTmic acid, and even carbonio
acid from siphon Of mineral water, added
in sufficient quantity, produced like result.
The mystery Of fertilization, which has
bafiled the best investigators for many
years, is yielding TO physical and chemical
methods OF analysis. With such simple
means as weak solution Of vinegar and a
strong solution Of common salt the e1-
perimenter can duplicate in the labora-
tory the results Of one Of the most typically
vital processes. Chemical substances in
shlful hands can be made TO produce effects
on eggs which initiate in all essential 10
spects tho results Of normal fertilization.
Large numbers Of sea-urchin larve,
normal and healthy, can now be produced
from the egg by purely chemical and
physical means. This fact has much signifi-
canoe for biologists. Many students Of
heredity have long been looking for means
Of raising animals in large enough numbers
Tor experimentation which should possess |
hereditary chRrc cteristics Of ono parent |
only.
Detailed comparisons Of such individ- |
ials with thoSo which derive their charao-
ers from both parents viii lead to results
n the field Of heredity and variation whose
ar reaching importance can only be con-
eotured at present.
