PAT TTERSON BUY
 TO FACE TRIAL
 BEFORE \ JURY
Examination Develops No Ground For Release Of Son Who Shot His Father During Trouble.

Ava Patterson must face jury in the superior court to answer the charge of having murdered his father,
 Frank J. Patterson, whom he shot four times with a revolver on October 10
 and who died a week later The eX
 animation of the 1Syear old boy con- sumed practically the entire day yes terday in Judge De SouZas court and ended shortly before 5 o'clock when he was held to answer to the upper court
 under bond of $5,000.
 Practically the entire list of witness
 es who testified at the coroner's in- quest in Judge Wheeler's court a week ago last Friday repeated their testi-
 mony yesterday, without, however, an
 apparent slight increase in the strength
 of the defense.
 | Because of the absence of Dr. Win l Wylie from the city, the stenographic
 report of the testimony which he gave at the inquest as the physician in charge of Patterson at St. Josephs hospital was offered in evidence by 1 Guy P. Hewitt, counsel for the defend
 ant, and admitted by counsel for the state, L. M. Laney and Herman Lew
 kowitz.
 One of the witnesses at the morning i hearing was Gavino Hernandez to
 whom young Patterson gave the re-
 volver after the shooting of his father. Hernandez said that he had heard the l shot but had not seen it and did not l know until later that Patterson had l been shot. Hernandez could neither
 speak nor understand English and did
 not know what the young man meant 1 by handing him the pistol. A little later
 Hernandez said that he was Patterson T.~s T Cor
 water which he gave him.
 Another witness was a neighbor MT. 1 Pendergraft, a man it turned out of l little curiosity. He said that he was
 driving toward town when young Pat terson asked him for a ride. Fender graft said that he asked the youth what he had done with his motorcycle. Then he asked him if he was going to
 be married. But when the boy told
 him that he had shot his father and
 was going to give himself up, mani fested no further interest in the affair
 and asked no other questions. Near
 the courthouse the youth got out of the
 wagon and Pendergraft gave him nc
 further attention. Nor later when the ! automobile bearing Patterson passed
 him was he inspired to inquire into the : details of an affiar whose surface in dications were so pronounced. ! Question As to Health : Dr. William O. Sweek, who with Drs
 Orville Harry Brown and Harry Car l son assisted the coroner at an autopsy held the day of the inquest stated or } the stand yesterday afternoon that be- 5 cause of the advanced tuberculosis anC strangulated hernia from which Pat. 5 terson was suffering, he was unable tC
 say that Frank J. Patterson would t have lived any longer had he not beer l shot. Repeated questioning by Count! ] Attorney Laney elicited from Dr l Sweek practically the same conclusion ;, regarding the cause of Patterson. l death. Gunshot wounds and shocl l contributed only indirectly to his death 9 the doctor stated.
 g Dr. Brown, however, had been of th' T opinion when called to the stand in th' : morning that the gunshot wounds dit |. contribute to Patterson's death in t more direct fashion, and ventured tn 8 opinion that shock induced by the re
 alization of the fact that it was hi e own son who had shot him might hay y contributed further to hastening hi [ end
 t Clash Over Statement e Opposing counsel clashed at the aft n ernoon hearing when Guy P Nevit 0 endeavored to obtain from County At X torney Laney the substance of sworl d statement made to Mr Laney by Alv e Patterson before the trial It was Nil e Nevitt's contention that inasmuch a
 the court had admitted as evidenc Q statements which young Patterson ha | made to Harvey Dye, a neighbor, an
