TRIAL OF NAN PATTERSON
To Begin Before Recorder Goff Early
In April.

New York, March 27.-The trial of
Nan Patterson for the murder of
Caesar Young will be started before
Recorder Goff. in the court of general
sessions early in April. At the request
of District Attorney Jerome, Justice
Fitzgerald removed the case from the
supreme court to the court of general
sessions. The reason alleged is that
there probably would not be supreme
court justice at liberty to try the case
at that time and the trial must be held
then unless the prisoner was to be dis
charged.
