| among the other prisoners, adding an un-
usual touch to one of the most remark
able nights in the history of the Tombs
Outside the crowds melted slowly away
and an hour after the jury was discharged
| the neighborhood had resumed its normal
quietness.
Although in a state bordering on COM
pete collapse when she went to her cell
early today after the jury had been dis
charged, Miss Patterson soon was quieted
and slept peacefully through the night.
When deputy warden making his rounds
at o'clock this morning reached the cell
occupied by Miss Patterson and her sis
ter Nan still sleeping heavily.
AT the side of the couch knelt her sister,
Mrs. Smith, who was also asleep, with one
arm thrown on the pillow on which Miss
Patterson's head lay. The deputy warden
carried with him eleven letters addressed
to Miss Patterson. He left them at the
cell door, and did not disturb either of the
women. About that time crowds began to
gather in the streets around the Tombs,
awaiting possible development which might
make it necessary for Miss Patterson to
once more cross the bridge between the
prison and the court building.
To Apply for Nominal Bail
Abraham Levy. counsel for Miss Patter-
son, said today: Il will apply for Nan
Patterson to be admitted to a nominal bail
at once The disagreement is equal to an
acquttal as far as her liberty is concerned.
1t may be that the district attorney will
apply to have her admitted to bail If he
does not then l shall take the steps. She
will never be placed on trial again. OF this
| am certain. l am disappointed that she
was not acquitted"
1t was said at the district attorneys Of
flee today that the prosecution would not
oppose the release of Nan Patterson on
bail provided the sum were fixed at from
$4,000 to $4,000 1t is expected that Re

released before night.
Julius Goldstone one of the jurors, col
| lapsed at his home today from nervous
prostration. The strain of the long night
session of the jury completely exhausted
him.
Abraham Levy, counsel for Nan Patter-
son. said at 11:3O that he was not sure
whether Miss Patterson would be released
today or not. He hoped he said, that the
| district attorneys Office would agree to her
admission to bail this afternoon, but he had
no official information to that effect. 1t
was his intention, he said, to go into court
to see what could be done for the girl, who
he said, was in very bad shape. Daniel
O'Reiliy Mr.. Levys associate counsel, said
that Miss Patterson's condition was not
alarming but that the long wait for the
jury had broken her down completely.
Prisoner Too Ill to Talk.

shortly before noon today to have con-
ference with Miss Patterson, but found her
so prostrated as to be unable to talk with
him. Mr.. Levy left without attempting to
discuss the case with her. He said after
ward that Mrs. ]. Morgan Smith also was
suffering severely from the effects of the
strain.

me all over my body with a club. l feel
bruised and sore all over
