TRIED TO SETTLE HER FATE.

Further Report Will Be Received
by the Judge—lt In Said Three Are

New York, Dec. 22. —The jury in the
Nan Patterson case was locked up at
11:26 o'clock to-night, not having
reached a verdict. At 11 o'clock the
announcement came from the jury
room that no decision had been ar
rived at, and immediately following
came a statement that Judge Davis
would give the jury another half
hour before locking them up.
The hope of a verdict was dispelled,
however, when a few minutes before
11:10 Capt. Lynch of the court
squad said that "It was all off,’’ and
the jury would be locked up for the
bight.
Nun Almost Collapsed.
Nan Patterson heard the news in
the "pen,” and it was so unexpected to
her that she came near to collapse.
It was understood that the jury
would continue consideration of the
case in the small jury room containing
only a few tables and chairs, and the
jurors will have no opportunity to
sleep unless they can nap in the small
chairs.
As soon as the jury was locked up
for the night Nan Patterson Hade her,
father a tearful farewell .and was es
corted from the “pen” in the court
building to her cell in the Tombs. The
girl, who showed such courage through
the long trial, is almost a nervous
wreck. The great strength she former
ly evidenced has failed and she re
peatedly exclaimed, "Oh, how can those
men doubt my word?"
Report lit llbllO Thi* Morning.
There will bo no opportunity of hear
ing from the jury again until 10:30
o'clock to-morrow morning, the hour
fixed by the couirt for a report from
the twelve men who are to decide the
fatf of the chorus girl.
Immediately after the announce
ment that the jury was locked up for
the night, officers cleared the corridors
of the court building of scores of
newspaper men and attorneys who had
anxiously awaited news from the Jury.
Murmurs of disappointment were heard
from the crowd, which seemed con
vinced that the Jury would never reach
a decision.
Three Against Nine.
The latest rumor fjom the Jury
room was that three men were hold
ing out against nine, who desired to
hcqult the defendant. It was reported
that the three jurors were at odds as
to the seriousness of the crime. One
juror Is said to be holding out for
conviction for murder In the second
degree, and two others are reported
to favor manslaughter In the second
degree,
fine rumor was so definite that It
named a Juror who had asked If he
might fire the revolver as the man
who is holding out for the conviction
nf Miss Put tenon of murder In the
second degree.

and had even packed her belongings
and left them in a cell which has been
her home for several months, but
evening came and the jury went to
dinner and returned to its deliberations
with no sign of what the verdict would
be.
The suspense of the early days of
the trial, when Prosecutor Rand put
witness after witness on the stand to
complete a chain of circumstantial
evidence against her, returned, al
though outwardly Nan Patterson seem
ed to maintain the same quiet demean
or that has characterized her from the
beginning.
Humors from the Jury Room.
As the afternoon passed into even
ing, various rumors were spread about
the criminal courts building as to do
ings in the jury room.
“The jury stands ten to two for ac
quittal," was one of these reports.
“One man is holding out,” was an
other.
Some had the hardihood to name
the juror upon whoso refusal to acquit
hangs so much for the former actress.
The fact that one of the jurors, aft
er the charge of Judge Davis to-day
had asked that he might take the re
volver with which Young was killed to
the Jury room, gave rise to stories that
the jurymen were spending much time
in experiments. But all these rumors
were but idle talk, apparently, for not
an authentic hint reached the crowds
congregated in and about the crim
inal courts building as to what was
actually taking place.
Frond Awaited the Verdict.
The great interest which the trial
of Nan Patterson has attracted was
never evidenced in a more pronounced
way than this afternoon and evening.
Excluded from the corridors of the
court building, several scores of per
sons stood outside the main entrance
in the slush and snow and cold to
night, waiting for. word that the jury
had at last agreed.
In the corridors of the building near
Judge Davis’ court were a hundred
newspaper men and women, keeping a
constant vigil and picking up here and
there scraps of information which filt
ered from no one knew where, con
cerning jury, defendant and attorneys.
During the evening the lawyers in
terested on either side of the case
called at the building but did not re
main. having made arrangements to
be called in case an agreement was
reached.
Nan Saw a Marriiate Performed.
Nan Patterson, after the Jury retired
this noon, spent the afternoon and ev
ening between her cell in the Tombs and
what is known as the “pen” on the
third fioor of the court building. Most
of the afternoon was spent in the
Tombs. As she was led from the court
after the jury retired she witnessed a
marriage ceremony between two pris
oners and congratulated them. For a
moment her face brightened as though
she had forgotten her own troubles,
but soon after resumed its look of sad
calm.
While she was in the Tombs this aft
ernoon she opened numerous telegrams
and letters from relatives and friends,
congratulating her upon her defense,
and expressing the hope and wish that
her freedom was near at hand. One
of the messages was from her mother,
who has not been able to attend the
trial. It said she hoped to have her
daughter home for Christmas.
An n Expected nn Early Verdict.
This evening after her dinner she
was taken to the “pen," where she
was joined by her father, who has
been constant In his support of nis
daughter since she was first accused
of the cr’inc and who has been her
faithful ally and companion every day
in court.
No one else saw the woman during
the evening and the fact that she was
taken from the Jail to the court in
dicated that she still expected a ver
dict, notwithstanding that the Jury
had consumed hours in discussion
without reaching a finding.
One of her counsel was about the
building this evening, but did not see
his client.
The abiding faith of the young
woman was shown shortly after 6
o'clock to-night when she expressed
the opinion that the jury would acquit
her. •

St. Petersburg, Dee. 22. —The an
nouncement that four Japanese cruis
ers and twelve torpedo boats are pro
ceeding west from Singapore is re
ceived here with much interest. It is
not believed, however, that such a
small squadron can have been sent out
by Japan with any idea of engaging
in offensive operations, but it is re
garded as more probable that it is the
purpose of this squadron to keep a
surveillance over the two detachments
of the Russian fleet, which are expect
ed to soon united in the neighborhood
of Madagascar
It is generally believed that Vice Ad
miral Rojestvensky intends to estab
lish a naval coaling base on some small
island between Madagascar and the
Philippines, and that the Japanese
cruising squadron hopes to mark down
the rendezvous for Vice Admiral To
go’s information.
The hope is expressed that Admiral
Rojestvensky will be able to catch up
with the Japanese scoutships, which
it is believed he could easily destroy,
thereby weakening the Japanese in the
final naval engagement.
TOGO REPORTS UPON
ATTACKS UPON SHIPS.
Russians Busy Trying <> I’ump One
tlie Srvnstopnl.
Tokio, Dec. 22, evening-.—A report
received from Vice Admiral Togo at
10 o’clock last night says:
“A prisoner taken by our fleet, who
is considered to be reliable, reports
that as the result of our attack since
Dec. 13, eight torpedoes struck the
net of the battleship Sevastopol and
that at least one took effect on her
hull. This seems to have occurred on
the night of Dec. 15, or early on the
morning of Dec. 16. The Sevastopol’s
crew was seen to be in a state of con
fusion and a hawser from the shore
was attached to the battleship.
‘‘The torpedo which struck the hull
of the Sevastopol took effect on the
port side, damaging about eight feet
along the rivet lines.
“The Sevastopol is now headed to
ward the outer part of the entrance
to the harbor, with her stern
aground and her gun ports amidships
almqst awash.
"The ship is listing to starboard
and the side lights in her lower deck
are submerged.
“There is one torpedo boat to the
starboard of the Sevastopol and one
pumping vessel to port, together with
one vessel, resembling a mine layer,
all of which are busily engaged in
pumping, but it will be difficult to re
store the seaworthiness of the war
ship.
“On the night of Dec. 16 one of our
torpedoes struck the bow of a Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyer, and that
vessel is now aground.’’
Another report from Admiral Togo,
received at 11 o’clock last night, is as
follows:
“After personal observation outside
Port Arthur, I found that the Sevas
topol, which was attacked by our tor
pedo flotillas, is now anchored in the
shallows about 400 yards from the
shore of Chentao mountain. The Rus
sians are engaged in pumping, but the
Sevastopol is listing at least ten de
grees, with her bow slightly sunk.
There can be no hope of restoring the
vessel to fighting trim, considering
the present condition of Port Arthur,
and I Judge she has been completely
disabled. I also observed that the en
emy’s destroyer, which was torpedoed
by us, has been destroyed.”
JAPS ARE SUFFERING

St. Petersburg, Dec. 22. —Emperor
Nicholas formally notified the country
to-day that the agitation for a con

Such Is the construction placed upon
the indorsement written in his own
hand on the resolutions telegraphed by
the Chernigov Zemstvol Dec. 20, beg
ging him in the most loyal rrtanner to
convoke legally elected members of the
Zemstvos to present a programme of re
forms for his consideration.
The Emperor wrote on the dispatch:
“I consider the action of the president
to be presumptlous and tactless. Ques
tions of state administration are of
no concern to the Zemstvos, whose
functions and rights are clearly de
fined by the faw.”
The Indorsement is printed In the
Official Messenger this morning, dash

did not come as a great surprise. The
Emperor, from the beginning, although

She Seemed Not the Leant Con
cerned When Told About It.
Cleveland, 0., Dec. 22.—Dr. Leroy S.
Chadwick and his wife, Mrs. Cassle
L. Chadwick, were jointly indicted by
the county grand jury this afternoon
on the charge of having forged and
uttered a $5,000,000 note, signed Andrew
Carnegie.
Dr. Chadwick is now on his way
to New York from Parts and is ex
pected to land next Wednesday. As
soon as the indietijient was returned.
Sheriff Barry of (his county made
plans to secure Dr. Chadwick’s ex
tradition. He will meet the steamer
on its arrival.
This is the third time that Mrs.
Chadwick has been indicted by the
county grand jury, but it Is the first
instance of her husband’s name ap
pearing In legal proceedings In the
case. The indictments already return
ed against Mrs. Chadwick arc similar
to the one voted to-day, except that
they cover notes of $250,000 and $500,000
signed “Andrew Carnegie.”
She Seemed Viiconceroeil.
Mis. Chadwick was reclining on a
couch before her cell in the jail when
she was informed this afternoon of the
action of the grand jury. She appeared
not the least concerned, and asked only
if there had been any one else indict
ed, mentioning the name of a person
who has figured in the case to some
extent. She declined to make any
comment, saying: “It will do me no
good to discuss my affairs in the news
papers. There has been so much mis
representation that I have decided to
do no further talking, and 1 am also
acting on the advice of my attorney in
this respect.”
“There are many things which Dr.
Chadwick will have to explain, and 1
hope he will do so." said Prosecutor
Keeler this afternoon. “Dr. and Mrs.
Chadwick may be tried on the Indict
ment separately or together. Bach has
a right to trial singly, if it Is desired.
“The Jurors will finish their work
Saturday. Then the Chadwick investi
gation as far as this Jury Is concerned
is ended. But 1 cannot say that this
concludes our Inquiry into this mat
ter. It Is possible that they there may
be other developments.”
On Reekwltli'a Testimony.
The grand jury has spent more than
two weeks in its investigation of the
Chadwick affair. It is understood that
it was mainly on the testimony of
President Beckwith of the Citizens’ Na
tional Bank of Oberlln, 0., which failed
recently, that the jurors voted to In
dict Dr. Chadwick.
Nathan Loeser, rscelver for the Chad

to-day that he had obtained informa

trunk and satchel belonging to Mrs.
Chadwick and which were taken from

Her Fiance Stepped on Her Toe, Mashed It Ofr,
and Got the Mitten.
New York, Dec. 22.—Big toes are
usually small factors In most love af
fairs, but one that belonged to Miss
Adeline Welsh had a large part In
shattering the romance of Robert
Lucky, who lives in Kentucky, for his
clumsiness, which cost the young wom
an her toe. cost him her heart. And
it cost her mother about SSO In settle
ment of a court case, to which this
tangled tale of woe about a heart and
a toe led.
When Lucky learned that his chances
of winning the hand of Miss Welsh
had vanished ho demanded back the
money he had paid a surgeon to re
pair the damage he had inflicted upon
her foot. Not only did be obtain Judg
ment, but the ntarshal attempted to
levy upon the piano at Mrs. Welsh'H
home. In West Thirty-sixth street, and
was prevented from rarrylng out his
plan only by the arrival of Mrs.
Welsh's attorney.
The case was reopened, and, after
Judgment was set aside, Mrs. Welsh
paid the doctor's bill, which Lucky
paid originally, she says, over her ob
jections, and the incident Is consider
ed closed.
Last stimmei* Adeline was visiting
relatives in Williamstown, Ky., and
was ardently courted by Lucky, who
is a poet when hot running the general
ktore.
One night while nt a party I.ueky
brought the heel of his shoe down on
Mias Welsh’s toe, which had long
been a tender point with the young
woman. At the moment of contact she
fainted. She was taken home, and the
village surgeon feared that blood
poisoning would set In, Lucky provid
ed for the patient's comfort. When
she was able to walk he sent her the
nicest pair or soft slippers he could
find, but at her next dance she found
greater pleasure in the partnership of
other men. /
This hurt Lucky, particularly as he
had insisted on meeting the doctor’s
charges for the amputation of the toe,
although Mrs. Welsh had written to
have the bill sent to her. When she
returned to New York he began suit
before Judge Tierney In the Bronx,
for the physician's bill, plus the cost
of the slippers.
