New York, May 12. Nan Patter

girl, was released from the - Tombs
prison today, after almost ' a year
within its walls awaiting a deter
mination of the charge that ihe had
murdered" her protector, Caesar
Young, a - racetrack' . bookmaker.
She will go to Washington tonight.
She was loudly cheered by a crowd
of 2000 persons as she left the pris
on.
Her release was made at the' in
stance of District Attorney Jerome,
who said he did not beheye another
trial would result other than in a
disagreements At the same time he
declared that there had been a seri
ous miscarriage of justice. He said
many of the newspapers had labor

and that this case had. causea-ne

He.criticised the newspapers for
their statements about jthe expanses
of the case, declaring that- thejt had
made ."gross? misrepresentation 3 of
the cost -of thetrials," -arid accounts
of "enormous expenditures' flaunted

He-said that hie own auditor had
made an estimate of the .cost of. the
case, which "did nOtMexceed: $8,UUU;
. ' He approved of all his " assistant,
.Mr'. Rand, had done or said in con
ducting the case and declared - that

upheld Mr. Kand in .everything
that be did during the trials, and
considered nis conduct ot tne - case
an exhibition of bravery on his part.
He concluded:
"The people for whom I care, ap
prove our action. $ rom the same
part ot tne community we nave rer
ceived nothing but fairness. I have
information that admits of no doubt
that there was unanimity in the
jury room on three pointB: First-
Morgan Smith bought the pistol
second Nan Patterson took the
pistol in the cab with her
third Caesar YouDg did not com

Mi9s ratterfon, when Bhe came
into court, was smiling gaily, bat
as the Recorder began to address her
the tears came into her eyes and
before he concluded she was weep
ing. The recorder spoke with a
kindly note in his voice that seem'
ed to affect her verv much. He
said: .
"ine district attorney nas seen
fit to recommend your discharge,
fully coincide with him, and believe
that the interests of juetice will be
fully subserved by granting this
motion. There have been two tri
ais, ana in eacn ot tnem toe jury
failed to agree. These two trials
must have been terrible ordeals to
you.
"There is nothing I can add to
this case that has not already been
said, but let me entreat you in all
your future life to remember the
terrible experience through which
you have just passed, and permit
every action of your life hereafter
to be guided by that experience.
feel sure that you will do so. that
you will remember your ordeal."

threshold by her father, who threw
his arms around her and exclaimed
"thank God, my daughter."
as sne iett tne nuiiding she was
driven to her two lawyers' office
where she remained a short time,
When she left there, another great
outburst ot cheering and handclap
pingbya ciowd greeted her. She
then went to the St. Paul hotel
where she had lived before Young

A Good Suggestion.
Mr. C. B. Wainwrieht of Lemon City,
Fla., has written the manufacturers that
much better results are obtained from
the use of Chatnbeilain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhosa Remedy in cases of pains
in the stomach, colic and cholera mor
bus by taking it in water as hot as can
be drank. That when taken in this way
the' effect ia double in rapidity, "It
seems to get at the right spot instantly,'
he says. For sale by Graham & Wor-

the
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Very Best. '
"I have been using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and want to say it is the
best cough medicine I have ever taken,
says George L. Chubb, a merchant of
Harlan. Mich. There is no question
about its being the best, as it will cure a
cough or cold in less time than any other
treatment, it should always be kept in
the house ready for instant use for a cold
can be cured in much less time when
promptly treated. For sale by Graham

Thursday evening. May H. the
rivals met and had a' war of words.
RieS stopped - immediately after
at the home of J. N. Knight, told
his tale and said he thought strong
ly ofjAng home after bis rifle , to
ki Foss. , ' ;J. h J-r
At 9:30 Bev'eral. Tifla shots ' were
heard in the-vift'Dity'of Fo3 j5biri.
George Perkins, a near- neighbor,
ran a quarter ot a mile to the place.
As be came np he heard a bolt w:th-
came out, gun in hind. Ries then
told Perkins he bad killed Foss and
announced that he was about to
bum the cabin.
As eood as Perkins could get
away he fled for home and eat all
night with a rifle e cross his knees,
fearing death,, for Ries had com
manded him not to tell, what he
bad seen or heard. A bright light
soon showed the destruction of the
scene of the tragedy. Foss' body
was found in the ruins the next
day, badly charred, but with enough
intact to show the perforation of
bullets. Ries' arrest followed.
This much of the story was ob
tained from the witnesses from
Mount Hood. Most of it had come
out at the coroner's inqneEt, which
charged Ries with the killing.The in
troduction of Mrs. Riggs in the-case
followed.
It was shown conclusively that
the rifle used was the property of
Mrs. Riggs. The gun was found
the next day in her house, and two
of the shells fitted the weapon.
These shells were picked up, one
at what was the door to the burned
cabin, the other in the road in front
of the place. '. No trace was found
of the other five shells fired. The
shells were old ones and had been
re-loaded.
Ries owned no gun of his own.
It was shown to have been possible
for him to have reached Mrs. Riggs'
place and returned, by means of a
by-path, 60 that he would not have
been observed.
In answer to the summons of the
court Mrs. Riggs came to The
Dalles last night and registered at
a hotel. This morning she went to
her lawyer's office to consult him
in regard to the claim on which
she lived. -This claim had been
taken up by her husband, and there
was some trouble about the title.
Foss is eaid to have been in posses
sion oi information that was vital
to Mrs. Riggs' title. , Mrs. Riggs
left her lawyer's office with the
avowed intention of going to the
district attorney's office. She has
not been seen since. The examin
ation was delayed somewhat by the
widow's non attendance. V
