THE TWELVE MEN CHOSEN.
Nan is Well Pleased With Them-The
Trial Adjourned Until Monday.
(By the Associated PICS. }

New York, April 19.-The jury
which is to decide the fate of "Nan'
Patterson. on trial for the third time
upon the charge of numbering
completed at l.40 o'clock tonight
when Recorder Goff adjourned court
until next Monday morning.
Miss Patterson is again to face a
jury composed almost entirely of mar
ried men, only two of the accepted
panel OF twelve being single, one Il
bachelor the other widower
Most of the jurymen are men of
middle age and beyond. Many of them
have large families; some grown
daughters who are married.
1T was announced tonight that the
defendant Will take the stand again
during the present trial and tell her
story of how Young met his death in
the hanson cab last June as he was
driving to the steamship pier to join
his wife on a trip to Europe. 1t is
also said that Miss Patterson is anX-
ious that her sister. Mrs j. Morgan
Smith, should become a witness for
the defense, although it has not been
determined yet either by the prose-
cution or the girls lawyers just what
part the j. Morgan Smiths shall play.
When the last Juror had taken his
place in the one empty chair remain-
ing in the box Recorder Goff turned
to the twelve men and delivered the
customary warning not to discuss the
case or to allow it to be discussed in
their hearing. He then adjourned the
court. Miss Patterson had a little
chat with her father and was then led
back to her cell in the Tombs. Her
counsel declares the girl is well
pleased with the jury. Throughout
the day she had evidenced the keenest
interest in the examination OF the
talesmen, listening intently as one
after another declared he had formed
or expressed an opinion as to her guilt
or innocence and that nothing ad-
dueed at the trial could alter that
opinion.
