NO DEFENCE TO BE suBMur0o
IN PATTERSON cAAE.
Attorneys for tbs Accused 0asa caAinl
State Has Failed to KAks
Out Casa.

New York, April ae.-Atter q day Of
interesting developments, both the
prosecution and the defense rested the
case Of Nan Patterson, the former
actress indicted for the alleged murder
OF Caesar Young, the wealthy book
maker, almost year ago. The prose.
cution finished Its case just before the
adjournment of the court, and later
Attorney O'Reilly Of counsel for Miss
Patterson notified the prosecution that
his side would submit no defense and
would rest on the contention that the
state had failed to make out any case
against the defendant. This plan had
been under consideration tor some
days, but was only decided upon at a
conference to-day between the counsel
for the defense and Nan Patterson
and her aged father. The decision
means the speedy conclusion of the
young woman's third trial for the SEN
sational tragedy on West Broadway.
When the case is called Monday, to
which date the trial was adjourned,
Assistant District Attorney Rand will
Immediately begin the summing up Of
the case of the state.
Besides this, the succession Of events
which marked Fridays proceedings
included the courts denial Of mo-
ton to dismiss the indictment, the
testimony of the prisoners sister,
Mrs. j. Morgan Smith, in which she
made some interesting statements,

the answers might incriminats her;
Mr.. Rand's promise to quash the con-
spiracy indictments against Mrs.
Smith if she would answer his ques-
tons, and the protest OF the counsel
Of the defense to the court that Mr..
Rand's merciless method Of question:
ing was "badgering the Witness" and
the rejection again by the court of
the much quoted letter of Mrs. Smith
to Young, bespeaking fear as to the
consequences II Young did not see her
sister.
The contention Of the defense in
moving to take the case from the jury
| and to dismiss the indictment was that
the conspiracy accusation charge had
been practically Abandoned; that the
prosecution had failed to prove that
]. Morgan Smith bought the revolver
which caused Young's death; that the
case was circumstantial and the tes-
timony Of Drs. O'Hanlon. higgins and
clips indicated suicide rather than
murder. The prosecution replied that
1t had proved the fact of the crime;
that the case should 60 to the jury
on the character Of the wound that
could not have been self-infiicted; had
proved Smith was in Pawnbroker
Stern's shop the day the revolver was
bought, and that the prosecution had
not expected pawnbroker to make
| identifcations. The court instructed
the jury that in his decision the ruling
on law points should not be to the
prejudice Of the defendant.

The dead general was doing fairly we'll,
considering the severity of the attack,
until about ten o'clock at night, when
change came for the worse.
Gen Lee was stricken with apoplexy,
the entire left side being affected, at
three O'Clock Friday morning. Gen. Lee
was on train en- route from Boston to
Washington. The train had just left the
Harlem river when the stroke came.
Two physicians were summoned and
Gen. Lee remained on board the train
while It was transferred by float to Jer-
sey City and proceeded to Washington.
When the train arrived there the pa
tient was removed to the Providence
hospital.
The news Of Gen. Lees illness was
severe shock to his numerous friends in
Washington. This was evidenced by the
many inquiries made at the hospital
throughout the day and evening. Gen.
Lees attack is attributed largely to his
activity in behalf Of the military and
naval review, which is to be held In the
vicinity of Jamestown, Va. His heart
and soul have been in the work and he
1abored zealously to make it success.
His Career.
Gen. Lee long has been prominent
figure In Washington, and he always
was given hearty reception wherever
he went. Prior to the civil war, at the
beginning OF which he resigned his COM
mission in the United States army, Gen.
Lee saw considerable frontier duty in
movements against the Indians. He was
an expert cavalry officer, and on one oc-
casion, June 16, 1860, he was engaged in
= haAd-to-hand encounter with Com
anche Indians near Camp Colorado
Tex. His services in the confederate
army as major general are we'll known
and during the interval between this
war and his active work in the Spanish
American war Gen. Lee filled number
Of important positions, including the
governorship of Virginia, the presi-
dency Of the Pittsburg Virginia rail-
road, the collectorship of internal reve-
nue. for the Lynchburg district, and the
consul generalship at Havana Follow
ing his honorable discharge from the
volunteer army on March Q, 1901, Gen.
Lee was appointed to the regular army
February II, 1901, with the rank OF brig
adler general, and with this rank he was
retired in the March following.
