Why the District Attorneys ofhoo 90
persistently hunted ]. Morgan Smith and
his wife, Julia Smith, for nine months came
out yesterday afternoon when Assistant
District Attorney Rand called Mrs. Smith
again as a witness against Nan Pattenon,
who IL charged with the murder OF Book
maker Cesar Young In a cab on the morn
ing bf June last. Mrs. Smith declared
for one thing that Young had promised
TO get a divorce and marry Nan Patterson
Just as soon as Nan Patterson was divorced
from her husband, a man named Martin
Mrs. Young by the way, is a Catholic.
Explaining why abe had written the
sDear Nunc," letter 20 Young saying that
her sister was 'perturbed,' frantic and
might do something serious TO herself or
Young, Mrs. Smith declared that II was
all true. This letter was written on May 8,
when Young had decided to break with
the chorus girl Atthe last trial Nan Patter-
son testified that on the night In question
she was normal and not frantic or wild.
Concerning Youngs promise to marry
her sister, Mrs, Smith said that Young
wrote her several letters, dozen perhaps,
telling her Of his efforts to got divorce.
All Of these letters, she said, had been
destroyed When the Smiths were ar
rested at Cincinnati, Thousands Of letters
we're found in their trunk and II was tho
imp ession Of the District Attorneys ofiioo
that they had saved every letter ever writ
| ten 10 them.
Altogether II was q trying day for the
| prisoner For the second time she faced
| Mrs. Margaret Young. the widow OF the
man she IL accused Of having murdered.
! She heard Mr.. Rand read 10 the jury love
| letter written by her 20 a man named Cog
gins while her relat ions with Young were
| intimate She signed the letter 'Cry Baby
| It Is said that this Cry Baby letter was
| handed over TO Young a few days before
! Nan Patterson came on here from Wash
| inRton on May last and was the reason for
| Young's decision TO break with her. From
Mrs. Smith was brought out the fact that the
real name Of the defendant IL not Nan Ram
| dolph Patterson, but Ann Eliza Patterson.
II seems as il Nan Patterson's lawyers
weren't any more pleased with the new
| Developments Of the day than the defend
ant was. Mrs. Smith swore that since
| the time Young was killed she had sent 20
! Abe Levy a hundred-odd letters which had
been written by Young to Nan Patterson.
Several times at the last trial Mr.. Rand
made demands on Mr. Levy for these let
ters. Each time Mr.. Levy said that he
| hadn't them.
II Is probable that the prosecution VIII
close to-day. Mrs Smith will be cross
examined by Mr.. Levy this morning
| Whether or not there viii be other Wit
nesses Mr. Rand had not decided last night
A great deal will depend on what Mrs
Smith says under cross-examination. ..
Morgan Smith may be called, but that IL
not a certainty. Leslie COggins, who got
the Cry Baby letter, may also be witness
! CoRRins was horsennan and knew Young.
THB DEAR NUNo' LETTER
II was considered bold move by Mr..
Rand 10 call Mrs. Smith. Whatever an
svers abe made he was bound by. and, a.
she IA under indictment for conspiracy,
sbe might have refused TO answer. When

room.
Mr.. Rand had been trying various eI-
pedlents 10 get in the Dear Nuno' letter,
which was admitted by Justice Davis at
the last trial and which is as follows;

at the last trial that she was not perturbdn
OF frantic read, and then offered the letter
which MIRA Young had testified had been
opened by her and handed ovei 20 hei

letter temporarily, on the ground that II
had not been sufficiently shown that thS
defendant knew Of the existence OF the
letter or knew that IL had reached Young.
Tho Recorder said that he did not want
II 10 be Understood that he disagreed with
Justice Davis, but that enough had not
been produced before him 10 make the
letter good evidence.
