'Mr. Rand Gives Outline of What Ho
Expects to Prove to Jury When He
Asks for Conviction of Pretty Ac
tress, Prinoipal in the Now Famous
Murder Case.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—The trial of
Nan Patterson for the murder of
bookmaker "Caesar" Young was fairly
begun before Justice Davis in the su
preme court today and when adjourn
ment was taken Assistant District At
torney Rand had concluded his out
line of the state's case, and had exam
ined several of the witnesses for the
prosecution.
The stories that there would be fur
ther delays in the trial were early dis
posed of by the announcement from
the court that Foreman Hendricks of
the jury, who had asked to be relieved,
would not be excused.
The State’s Case.
Then came Mr. Rand's opening, in
which he said the state's witnesses
would prove that Nan Patterson killed
Young, and that the killing was plan
ned several hours before the morning
on which Young met his death.
There was not an unusually large
crowd in the court this morning, but
when the doors were opened for the
afternoon session there was a rush to
gain admittance which swept the
squad of court officers off their feet.
The main floor of the criminal court
building was a solid mass of people
and those who had business In tho
court had to fight to even reach the
vestibule. The crush became serious
in a short time and police were called
in from the street to aid in maintaining
order.
Mr. Rand said in his opening that
the crime would be proven by strong
7lrcumstantial evidence. He sketched
the relation:! of Young and Nan Pat
terson. saying.
"In March. 1004. at his wife’s plead
ing, Young decided to shake Nan Pat
terson. She was given $800 to leave
him. I am compelled to show the re
lation that existed between Young and
this woman. This evidence will not
he milk for babies, therefore let us be
strong enough to face the truth,
though we would far rather turn aside. 1
Had Claim on Young.
He detailed the movements of Miss
Patterson and Young, declaring that,
notwithstanding the money which was
given her as an Inducement to leave,
"Nan said she had a better claim on
Young than any other woman and re
fused to give him up."
Mr. Rand declared that on June I
J. Morgan Smith, the prisoner's brother-
in-law. accompanied by a woman, pur
chased a revolver at Hiram Stern's
pawnshop.
"The same night,” he said, "Nan and
Young met and went to Flannery's
saloon, where they remained until 3
o'clock the next morning. During the
night there were a series of scenes be
tween Young and his mistress. When
he told her that he was going away,
she replied that he could not and that
he could not hide himself on any ocean
liner.
"Next morning Young met Nan and
they drove down town together in the
handsome cab In which the tragedy oc
curred. After the shooting the
voiver, bought on the previous even
ing at the pawnshop, was found in the
dead man's right-hand coat pocket.
Slapped Her Face.
"I am not going to produce J. Mor
gan Smith because he has left the
state. After the purchase of the re
volver he was seen quarreling with Nan
Patterson near the Sixth avenue pawn
shop. He was heard to say to her 'You
must do it* and she replied 'I will not.'
Then Smith slapped his sister-in-law’i
face and pushed her into the cab and
sent her home."
The first witness to be called from
among those who were In the vicinity
of the cab where Young was shot was
Wm. J. Junior, a policeman. His at
tention had been called to a commo
tion in the cab by a citizen and as the
vehicle drew up he ordered the driver
to stop. As he climbed upon the step
he saw a man whose body had been
concealed by the closed door. The
man was unconscious. Miss Patterson
told him that her companion had shot
himself and he ordered the cabman to
drive to a hospital. In the meantime
he had found a revolver in the right
hand pocket of Young's coat.
On cross-examination he said that
when he reached the cab Young's head
was lying in Miss Patterson's lap. His
left arm was around her shoulder.
Miss Patterson Hysterical.
Miss Patterson was hysterical and
was crying "Ob, Caesar, what have
you done.”
"Did she say anything else?" asked
Mr. Levy.
"Yes. she told me he had said to
her 'You may not see me again/"
Edward Joseph Quinn, the detective
who accompanied Miss Patterson from
the hospital to the Tombs just after
she had been arrested, told of a con
versation between himself and the
prisoner.
"After she bad asked me if I was
a policeman." said the witness, "she
said. 'Caesar Young was a married
man end he and I were lovers. He' was
going away and we might never see
each other again/ She then asked me
If Caesar Young waa dead, and when
I replied that be waa, she said. T don't

of the Impeachment charges against
Judge Charles Swayne, of the North
ern district of Florida.

that Judge Swayne had exacted the

passers.
J. N. C. Stockton of Quincy, Fla.,

that he (Stockton) could get anything
in the way of receiverships If he would

Ellis F. Davis of Marlon. Fla., testified
in regard to an attempt to settle the

Judge Swayne was present at the
investigation and frequently consulted
his attorney, former Senator Higgins
