When her body was found it was lying

NAN PATTERSON
SCORES A POINT
Pawnbroker Failed to Identify
Smith AS Man Who
Bought Pistol
PROSECUTION WAS GIVEN A BLOW

New York, April 27.-The climax in
the prosecution of Nan Patterson, who
is on trial, charged with shooting
Caesar Young, was reached. when by
man Stern. the pawnbroker, failed to
identify J. Morgan Emith as the man
to whom he sold the pistol with which
Young was killed. This feature had
been looked forward to with much an
ticipation, and was expected to make
somewhat of a sensation. On the con-
trary, however, it caused but a ripple
Of comment and surprise in the court
room, although it was the dramatic
moment of the trial Stern also failed
to identify Nan Patterson or Mrs.
Smith as the woman who accompanied
the man that purchased the revolver.
When Stern was put on the stand
Smith and his wife were brought before
him. The pawnbroker told the story
of the purchase Of the weapon and
identified the pistol as the one he had
disposed Of.
Turning toward Nan Patterson, As
sistant District Attorney Rand said:
Look at the defendant Don't you re-
member the lady who accompanied the
man who bought the revolver? DO
you recognize the defendant as the
one?"
Il cannot say that she was" an
swered Mr. Stern.
Look at Mrs. Smith. Was she the
one?"
Il cannot say that she was"
Now, look at J. Morgan Smith. Can
you say to the best Of your judgment
that AIr. Smith resembles the man
who purchased the revolver from you?'
Abraham Levy, the defendants coun-
sci, jumped to his feet with an obiec-
tion why can't he ask" he shouted,
is this the man that bought the re-
volver?"
Recorder Cofi sustained the objec-
ton.
Mr. Rand then changed the form Of
the question saying rs Mr.. Smith
the man who purchased the revolver
Mr. Stern replied; Il cannot say that
he is"
Smith was taken back to the Tombs.
Riotous scenes attended the opening
OF the court room. Women and men
fought 10 get past the police. Several
women tainted and many had their
dresses torn.
Throughout the entire day Nan Pat
terson followed the testimony with
more intense interest than on previous
days, and when adjournment was an
nounced she caressed her father and
remarked: Il think this has been q
good day for me-"
Only two important witnesses fol
the prosecution ~ Caesar" Youngi
widow and his racing partner Johr
Millen, remained to be examined.
Prosecutor Rand announced that the
state would close its case today. Abra
ham Levy, senior counsel for the de
fense, will then ask for an adjourn
ment, and if it is granted, the openins
speech for the defense will be made BY
Henry w. Unger tomorrow.

Eew Favor ReeiproeIty.

Few Favor Reciprocity.
From the Omaha Bee.
An Eastern paper has made canvass
of the Canadian press I'm regard TO trade
reciprocity with the United states, the
result being that only few of-them were
found to favor that policy, the great ma
jorty being opposed TO lowering the pres
ent Canadian duties ON American manu-
factures, no matter what inducements
arc offered by this country There can be
no doubt that this reflects public senti-
ment in the Dominion. The feeling has
been steadily growing there for several
years that what the manufacturing i'm
dustries need Is better protection, and
that any concessions 10 the manufactur-
.ers of the United States must inevitably
work TO the disadvantage of the Cana
dian industries. reciprocity affecting
only natural products would doubtless be
acceptable 10 the Canadians but they
realize that they cannot get this, which
would hit the American farmer, without
making tariff concessions TO our manu-
facturers This they will not do.
The New England manufacturing inter
osts that have been clamoring for recl-
procity ought 20 learn something from the
result OF the canvass of -Cie Canadian
press. II would seem that It should con-
vince them Of the uselessness of continu-
ing an agitation the outlook Sr which
is so manifestly hopeless. It must be pre-
sumed that even they would not be will
ing 10 sacrifice the interests OF American
farmers If there was no advantage to be
gained for themselves. Reciprocity with
Canada can hardly be regarded as a live
question, even by so aggressive a cham
pion OF the policy as the Democratic Gov.
ernor OF Massachusetts.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Ia Anti- ciaarette Law.

Inc Anti Cl8arette law
From the Toledo Blade.
Governor la Toilette has signed the
anti-clgarctte bin passed by the Wiscon-
sin Legislature and 1t is now @ law The
feature of the bill. distinguishing it from
similar bills passed by other States, is
that a portion of the fine goes 20 the
informcr thereby making 90 an object TO
any citizen to expose violations Whether
this very drastic feature may not prove
to be immoral and defeat the very objects
of the bin remains To- be- seen
There are now three States prohibiting
the rale of cigarettos-Iudiana. Nebraska
and Wisconsin. The Illinois Legislature
is wrestling with the question, one branch
OF The Michigan Legislature has approved
O. prohibltive measure and In Minnesota
the Dale bin was indefinitely postponed.
The South Dakotah law prohibits the sale
OF cigarettes to minors under 16 years of
age. Other States are becoming imbuod
with the necessity of passing ant-ciga-
rotto laws.
Considerable progress has therefore
been made In the h.ht against this mon
strous evil but there Is yet much 20 be
done. Unfortunately some OF the spirit is
taken out OF the crusaders when a publi-
cation like the outlook attacks the legis-
lation ON the ground that It IS nothing
short OF paternalism. We might say the
same thing of liquor legislation and yet
the country has been educated TO accept
all degrees Of restrictive law ON that traf-
fic. Possibly the cigarette has not done as
much harm as whiskcy although that is
| n problem open to speculation. We know
that thousands of boys are being ruined
every year by the deadly cigarette. we
know that these young minds are beine

This incident recalls another which

after, when one of the men who assist

on his deathbed, one of the happiest
memories which came to soothe his
last hours was the thought of having
"stuck his stick right through St. Pc.

victory for Professionalism.
